I hope we talk about Jesse Jackson a lot today. I’m so sad that all his hard work got flushed down the drain by a bunch of privileged losers.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

Unbearable.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

National Park Service removing a slavery exhibit

“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto “Ignorance is Strength,” this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truth when it domain over historical facts. It does not.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore the slavery exhibit that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia

Same set that told you shoplifting required a full police state.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

All right, I got mad enough to write a full post about all this:

elon RTing Nazi slop

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man in the history of humanity is, objectively speaking, just a straight up Nazi

also the next democratic administration needs to throw him in prison

Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain.

But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

medical miracle: this 75 year old man was born yesterday

During a diversity roundtable last month at the National Press Club, the Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, gave shocking news on the state of the Black press on the eve of its bicentennial. "We all have felt the damp hands of oppression and suppression over the last 12 months," said Chavis, whose trade association represents more than 200 African American-owned community newspapers. "I'm going to be very honest: We've lost advertising revenue 80% over the last 12 months."

Even compared to the dire state of the newspaper business in general, Black newspapers in particular are getting fucking hammered.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

It’s honestly a sad artifact of an era when public imagination was so limited people thought using cuss words about one particular bank was a radical act granting someone a lifetime of credibility as a “truth-teller.”

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Starting to get ridiculous

‘Imprison all women’ may sound outrageous. But all of the horrors that are routine today started out as some ghoulish guy being allowed to say stuff like this without being beaten with hammers.

Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.
