If you’re complaining about Bad Bunny’s lyrics, tell me something.

Do you complain about other pop star’s lyrics?

Just curious.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.

A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Hey, hi, currently at 43 of the 2000 dollars we need by this weekend to pay rent.

Bare minimum I need 200 by Saturday night or I will ALSO be overdrawn.

I need to try to sleep soon, but please - help if you can, boost if you can't. I'm exhausted. I need help and I need it now.

Thanks. 💜

NEW: Tens of thousands are once again bringing downtown Minneapolis to a standstill (Friday Jan 30, 2026).

A massive protest against ICE and in support of a national economic shutdown.

(🎥 Vince Monroy)

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.*

Legal experts explain here why this is so ugly:

so funny this immediately happens when software companies can’t pretend that ai was anything more than money moving between 10 different companies over and over and doesn’t lead to any real growth

Fresh sub thread because I am getting scared and desperate.

Progress is way too slow, bills have come out and now I have 23 dollars out of the 2000 I need BY THIS WEEKEND.

PLEASE HELP, boost, anything, I am in a pain flare, struggling to keep up, and things have been discouragingly silent.

Everyone be proud of me.

I got set up with a therapist today for the first time in like…four years.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

…the fuck kind of nonsense is that?

Kansas Advancing Anti-Trans Bill Allowing Bounty Hunters To Patrol Private Business Bathrooms The bill, which is racing through the Kansas legislature, stands a significant chance of passing the Senate.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.

It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.

The House is voting on it today.

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day

Bro. No.

If anyone has details on who was taken and “why” I’d appreciate it.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

NOPE

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

159/2000 - thank you SOSOSO MUCH, that's amazing and I really needed the movement 🥹

Can we keep it up? Paying rent on time would be amazing!

Melania Documentary Flops as Crew Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Chaos The first lady’s documentary was a mess in production—and now it’s struggling at the box office.

Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week.

This comes as a new report from Rolling Stone details serious labor issues and two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. trib.al/Clr03cD

If you're looking for authors to avoid, the author of The King's Weaver is one of them.

They disclosed they used AI to create the cover art, and multitudes of reviews are exposing it to have likely also been written with AI.

Don’t let the regime change distract you.

ABOLISH ICE.
