one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

I came here to say this

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Was reminded of this piece after hearing you on the Daily. Thanks for the work that you do.
I’d like to contribute to some Black-led nonprofits doing work in this area. Do you have any recommendations?

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

Scholars of eighteenth-century topics: consider submitting your work to *Digital Defoe*. We publish essays on Defoe, but also on his "contemporaries," which we're inclined to interpret broadly. More info here:

Grand Jury Declines to Indict Two Chicago-Area ICE Protesters (1) A federal grand jury declined to indict two people charged with assaulting law enforcement agents outside a suburban Chicago ICE facility, an attorney for one of the defendants said.

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

Get ready! Be there!

ME: Once I do X, my anxiety will dissipate

**does X**

MY ANXIETY: Ah but what about Y?

ME: Fuck

Sean Connery is a red strapped outfit. He's very hairy.

William Shatner as Captain Kirk. He's in a black strapped outfit and has a smooth chest.

before and after hegseth's directive

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

ICE Officer ‘Relieved of His Duties’ After Pushing Woman to Floor

I’m grateful that action is being taken to address yesterday’s violence at 26 Federal Plaza.

When we insistently bear witness, there are limits to the cruelty people will support. Even Trump’s ICE can’t escape that indefinitely.

the Wounded Knee Massacre, as described in Ned Blackhawk, The Rediscovery of America:
Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History (2023)

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I am too old to learn how to use the updated software or computer program. I will be using the old software. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Two puppets representing martians--one magenta, the other pale blue--stare, goggle-eyed, through a window at a rotary telephone on a table.

I believe this is what you're looking for.

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable.

Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

Lia Thomas met the NCAA requirements for transition when she started competing as a woman. Did the right accept those standards? Or, if they disagreed, argue that they could be more stringent?

No. They said she was a man who was unfairly competing and pretended that there were no standards at all.
