Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

My least favorite type of reply guy is “Well, what did you expect?” I expected BETTER, Brian, you surrendering bag of Beige, you are not the spokesperson for Accepting Less

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming." PANEL 1 A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones. CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death. PANEL 2 A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones. CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death. PANEL 3 This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers. BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre! CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case. CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander. PANEL 4 Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents. ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life! CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer. CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers. PANEL 5 On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes. ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof! CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges. PANEL 6 In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is hilarious and also my idea of Hell.

“This A… is not very I.” 🤣

No one wants this except the hucksters pushing it

Depends on your oven. My oven always takes longer than the instructions say it will, so I set for the longest time and plan to add 3, 5, 10 minutes, depending on what it is.

Wow

it is not enough to disable the feature that produces an AI summary of my emails at the top of my emails in gmail, I need a button that delivers an electrical shock to the person who thought it was a good idea

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Chris Kluwe being arrested for protesting MAGA extremism and being hauled out of council chambers in Huntington Beach by police officers

One year ago today, I was arrested for protesting MAGA extremism at the Huntington Beach City Council.

If I’m going to ask people to stand up for democracy, for our schools, for our freedoms, then I have to be willing to stand up first.

That’s who I am, and it’s why I’m running for State Assembly.

Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives.

Here's a video from my wife's family's farm. The cows are Salers cattle - primarily for beef. The farmers in the area still bell the cows once they're let out to graze in the spring, so you really want sound for this.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere

you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood?

free immigrants, undocumented or otherwise

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

a werewolf in front of a house wearing a ‘BE MINE’ heart and holding a sign that reads ‘THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE’ above a photo of bad bunny

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Yes, COVID got us. Happy Valentines! 😂

With one kid in daycare and another at school, I’m not surprised. Only two of us are really sick though, and we’re all fully vaccinated. I can’t imagine how much this would suck without being caught up on the vaccine.

Get those boosters!

Incredibly powerful front page from the Sunday Post

‘These are the faces of the close to 200 women killed by men in Scotland over the last 16 years. Many were murdered in the one place they should feel completely safe - their own home. Today, we ask for your help in ending misogynistic violence’

IMO this is a big but underappreciated piece of the resistance to ICE occupation in the Twin Cities.

Our Authentic Midwest is one of big cities and pluralism and we're proud of it. Our Heartland values include standing up for our neighbors, no matter where they were born.

It's also worth remembering that this narrative is Nazi in a way that actually pre-dates the Holocaust.

Hitler rose to power telling a story of a Germany shackled by guilt and shame (and of course the material concessions fallout) from WWI
