Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live.

Please take it to heart and take action.

This Richard Scarry-ass business on the LES always gets me

It is in fact an avocado wholesaler and I bet they chose the name so it would come up first in the Yellow Pages when you looked up β€œWholesalers β€” Avocado”

I know the internet is just a revenue faucet for chud billionaires now but tonight I thought of a song about Japan we sang in class in the 4th grade in 1975 and in 5 min I found and downloaded a scanned copy of the textbook it came from, which is pretty great

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

They’re not helping the majors get into the classes they need or writing the 1 million reports required by admin or showing up at the thinly attended colloquium. Anyway that’s who’s in the Epstein files.

There’s a β€œsuperstar” layer at every R1 institution I’ve been at that isn’t composed of academics in any sense I recognize. They’re there so the institution can claim them, but they use the university as a launchpad to contracts and speaking engagements. They’re not teaching the intro classes.

We don’t know yet how this NJ story will end but the *best* possible outcome for AIPAC is that they lit $2 million on fire for no reason and I think that’s beautiful

AI: go to (xyz menu) and select (123)

someone typed β€œKamala announcement tomorrow” in a group chat and I seized up like someone who was just injected with snake venom

1. No
2. Don’t tell me
3. I don’t want to know
4. As I previously indicated, please no

These decisions affect literally thousands of DC area families.

And they were made by folks enjoying record profits (and/or the fruits of their corruption)

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

The staff of my Manhattan apartment building got formal training last week on what to do if our lobby is invaded by ICE paramilitaries, if you were wondering how America is going

Frankly, things are so immediate and intense in Minnesota right now that it feels like people in other places talking about other things might as well be on the moon.

This is especially the case when people from elsewhere talk about how much things have changed here when they clearly haven’t
