Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat. The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

Parts of the Palestinian activist movement in the US have unfortunately been overtaken by campist politics that have utilized Palestine for broader ideological projects. This is the co-founder of Palestine Action US. (1)

Just say Venn

This passage from Thomas More was, when I was doing my PhD, hotly debated: Did Shakespeare write it or not? There was all kinds of statistical evidence, computer programs, etc. one way and the other. But when you hear Ian McKellen read it, there is exactly zero doubt.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Quite the contrast: In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors. In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

I do not regret to inform you we are going to win.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Outside a Minneapolis hotel is a lone agent, swaying, baffled, with a bloody nose he may have given himself, fumbling with the pin of a smoke grenade, demanding to see the MPD (which weren't there), and trying to hold his gun between his knees. Can't make this shit up.

The American people are braver and better than our monstrous leaders, and we will win.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti was a hero

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

it is a sign of the total absence of trump from political decision making that they are letting this guy go out and say stuff that dramatically worsens their political position

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Please just buy a fucking gun

The left says that oligarchs have bought our democracy. They're wrong—oligarchs have bought our republic.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

the sister of the race science "academic" quoted by the New York Times in their shameless hit piece on Zohran Mamdani seems like a lovely person and is insisting her brother was never awarded his PhD and is just pretending to be a professional academic

ever wondered about what ranking officers in the us civil war were like? good news. there's not that many types of them. here you go

the great mistake we made after WW2 was letting way way too many Nazi party members live.

Every one of these deaths is on the hands of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. History should never forget.

Everything is not the same through the looking glass. The behavior of many familiar objects, from molecules to elementary particles, depends on which mirror-image version we interact with.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

WIRED spoke with immigration attorneys, local migrant advocates, national policy experts, and individuals who have been recently detained or have family currently in ICE custody. Their accounts echoed the data: a system overwhelmed, and at times, seemingly indifferent to medical crises. Read now:

VANCE: "Our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change."   HEGSETH: "This mission was not and has not been about regime change."   RUBIO: Regime change is "certainly not the goal of what we're working on here."   TRUMP:

Sorry am I his numbers are so few

As SCOTUS said in Houston v. Hill: The "freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state." www.thefire.org/supreme-cour...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

GUY WHO, IF PRESSED, TURNS OUT IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO YOUR CAUSE: are you sure *those* tactics help your cause

you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind? you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.

Putting up a fierce fight at the opening of the poem is the way to stop the rest of the poem from coming true. The fight for migrants and to stop ICE is the same fight as the fight to protect LGBT people (citizens or not), reproductive autonomy, and everyone else the fascists want to fuck with.
