the bad bunny football concert is even better after knowing exactly how mad it made the worst people

Jewish men like Woody Allen and Philip Roth spent a lot of their careers making art about how Jewish women are unappealing and wow did that affect me. We have historically gotten that and then the hypersexualization of Monica Lewinsky. Not great!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Wherever there sugar, there’s slavery

Still used to make rum of course!

NEW: Huge cheers earlier for the Ukrainian athletes at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium.

Even the commentators can’t hide it…

State violence against Black Americans laid the groundwork for fascism | Jason Stanley Fascism feeds on the arbitrary killings that have long plagued the US. Ending the horror starts with abolishing ICE

“As Ida B Wells noted in her 1892 book Southern Horrors: ‘They forget that a concession of the right to lynch a man for a certain crime … concedes the right to lynch any person for any crime.’”

@koshersoul.bsky.social so lovely to watch you on PBS tonight

Thank you!!

Here's a great read for Black History Month (or any month!). In The Cooking Gene, James Beard award-winning culinary and cultural historian @koshersoul.bsky.social travels the South, tracing his roots and the history of Southern cuisine.

p.s. Please buy books from indies not ICE-enabling oligarchs.

#Minneapolis has become the Birmingham Campaign moment of the Resistance.

Feds Create Drone No Fly Zone That Would Stop People Filming ICE The FAA has altered a no fly zone designation that was originally created for US military bases to apply to DHS units.

In our latest: The feds created a drone no fly zone to stop people from recording ICE.

The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country.

I love immigrants. They come here looking for a better life and in exchange bring their food, culture, music making the country a better, more diverse and interesting place. I would choose them as my neighbors over someone who hates them on principle every fucking time.

Get an imagination.

ok who’s writing the treatment of this for netflix because I’d definitely watch this show

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal. One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

The FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter seeking classified state documents. Nothing she wrote about could be considered classified. They simply want to suppress dissent via intimidation. Don't let them. Here is what she wrote. Please share.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

People didn't take that Access Hollywood tape seriously and now Trump is doing it globally

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

The de facto position of the Trump administration is that it's occupying forces are allowed to mock and belittle American citizens, and also allowed to kill citizens who mock and belittle them.

"I was tired of my sons being indoctrinated into radical ideologies at school. Now, they don’t go to school, so there’s no one shaming them for their masculinity. Plus, they have a perfect outlet for their male energy: stripping copper from abandoned shopping malls."

Every person that is saying ENOUGH,

DEMAND IMPEACHMENT OF TRUMP FOR TREASON.

THAT'S DOING SOMETHING.

DO IT OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT STICKS.

UNTIL HE'S IMPEACHED FOR TREASON.

Don't worry about ANYTHING ELSE. Don't worry about what he's doing.

KEEP FILING
DON'T STOP!!!

Boy, the "I wish i was old enough to fight in World War II" demographic has really been revealing which side they wished they could have foughg for.

Agreed
