Several hundred people were detained for four hours." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

Are we in the "never believe anything until it has been officially denied" zone yet?

These absolute chuds have no idea what the word "politics" means.

The US regime has tried to make ethnic identity (outside of white Christian male) a matter of shame. Last night's show was an unapologetic celebration of ethnic identity.

That's political.

Long story short: free trade, open borders, uh... mofongo on every corner?

Job openings plummeted in December, especially for service-sector roles There are now more unemployed people than job openings, which is landing particularly hard on young jobseekers.

"The labor market is just not creating enough jobs."

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

We will continue to repost this evergreen piece from @ahjohnson.bsky.social

BariWeiss is doing exactly what she was chosen by the Ellisons to do.

And most likely failing. They've got one hell of a losing streak going

Uh so this is amazing

I've known serious people who have told me the number was in the billions. I've asked what they were basing this on, crickets. We know Trump and Republicans lie about Black people all the time, but it is really pathetic when serious people start to take their lies seriously.

holy shit, you mean to tell me that people were committing crimes with the thing whose single use case is crime

A North Carolina woman died because she couldn’t access the reproductive health care she needed as a result of the state’s restrictive laws.

Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda is killing women.

this is good. I’d add that I think masking has an internal psychological element too, it’s part of how the ICE chuds psych themselves up to do crimes

Reporting in from rural America: This piece of shit can fuck right off, give us actual fucking doctors and nurses

Soup, okay, but as I understand it, lutefisk is a human rights violation. That's just second hand information, mind you. Never had the opportunity to try it myself

this man has slandered Lutherans now, it is ON, hot dishes together in struggle

I mean, it doesn't sound like slander to me, it just reads like great promo material for relocating to Minnesota

Imagine the enormous power you could have as a Senator when you are using your office to help the people. Fer fuck's sake, we will go to the streets for you if you do the right fucking thing.
