A new form of intimidation targets federal judges: hundreds of unsolicited pizzas sent to judges and their children across the country. It’s an innocuous delivery with an ominous message: “We know where you live.” cbsn.ws/4l4PoOC
We live in this great world where people will compromise with, enable, and even openly collaborate with fascists, but will come together like the goddamn avengers to stop progressives and real people who want to stop doing the same failed things over and over
Max Boot is like “idk, the justification for this war looks pretty flimsy.” This is the most unsold war in the history of wars. That is like Cat Fancy calling a cat less than mid.
This is how I feel when folks talk about "RED STATES" .
Red states have large concentrations of Black people, who are heavily disenfranchised. They have liberal folk who been down there fighting Republican Trifectas for decades. My colleagues in Red states have shown me how to navigate systems and language to make shit shake in this new clown govt.
LinkedIn has never been more dystopic, and that’s kind of impressive honestly.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Yesterday I couldn't stop thinking about how we actually gave a criminal with dementia and no empathy the nuke codes. Twice. And here we are today.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.
Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time
Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.
This is the thing the cultural commodity spectacle of Super Bowl Sunday requires we bracket: the sport is predicated on human sacrifice.
The players you watch today are being killed in front you, slowly, whether it looks like it or not.
And the NFL can only get away with it because *we* watch.
Immigration lawyers said Kilmar Abrego Garcia's landmark case highlights the pitfalls with the speed and scale of the Trump administration's goal of mass deportations.
Geordi LaForge isn't impressed by Reconciliation and Healthing, he wants MOTHERFUCKING CONSEQUENCES
If you're in the NYC area, I hope you will support this on Tuesday. I'll be there!
well.
Not major news to anyone but the real threat to women in sports is male coaches abusing them. I played high school, college, and club water polo and close to 50% of the coaches I had either had inappropriate relationship w a player or were accused of SA
“Who in the United States of America wants a war between the United States and Europe … over GREENLAND??”
This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
No, I think it is obviously not good politics. So why are they doing it? Two reasons.
First, Vance, Miller, and Trump have convinced themselves they are not in the business of persuasion, but intimidation.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
