The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Some thoughts on one of the best friends I ever had.
January 29, 2026 at 1:31 AM Dan McQuade passed away on his birthday which is exactly the kind of fact that I would learn about someone else from Dan McQuade. Because Dan may have known more things than anyone I've ever met. His love for Philadelphia was one of his most famous traits but I used to plumb the depths of it. Years ago, before he met his wife Jan, I would take the bus down to visit him and we would just walk. For a long time. And every so often I'd say "Tell me something that happened on this block" and he'd say "This one? I don't think anything happened here." Then after about 8 seconds he'd exclaim "Oh wait!" with his index finger in the air like a little kid and tell me one of the craziest fucking things I'd ever heard.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

You’re gonna see some Dems & some Thinkpiece Centrists giving Trump credit for “turning the temperature down,” “pivoting to a more restrained approach” “let’s get back to focusing on kitchen table issues” and it is your duty to scream at them until they stop. This moment is an onramp, not an offramp

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET, MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons. The headline reads “A man attacked federal bullets with his body” Underneath the picture is a quote saying “those bullets had families”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.
Announcements Sullivan Elementary • 10:30 AM • To: Sullivan Elementary Hello Sullivan Families, we have learned that ICE is sending out flyers offering food support to families. For your safety, do not respond to these offers. If your family is in need of support, please contact the school and we will connect you with one of our School Social Workers. Thank you!

i would never have predicted it and yet it is somehow perfect that the regime's bold new strategy is driving Precious Moments™ figurine Greg Bovino to stand in front of various convenience stores pulling early Britney "gaaaah! i'm famous! who knew!" faces while surrounded by his ICE dancers

You can picture how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community www.welcometohellworld.com/we-must-love...
Clearly there's no shortage of horrors to choose from of late but for some reason this one in particular has really chilled me to the fucking bone. Last week a group of pigs had lunch at a Mexican restaurant called El Tapatio in Willmar, Minnesota. "Staff at the restaurant were frightened," an eye witness told the Star Tribune. You can surely imagine that they were. You can picture exactly how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community. There's one like it where you live too. In almost every town in the country. We love Mexican food here so much. They forced these people to prepare their food and to serve them all the while knowing that they were going to ruin their lives after. With full bellies. The threat hanging in the air. Of course they did ruin them. They arrested a dishwasher and the two owners a few hours later after the restaurant closed. Can you imagine being made to wash the dishes used to feed the men who are waiting to kidnap you or worse? Cooking and plating their meals? I wonder if they put the same care they usually do into it or if their shaking hands made the work suffer?

The other thing is, in 2020, the locus of anger was internal, which is destabilizing. But this time, we ARE UNDER ATTACK. We are INVADED. All my neighbors are friends. All the feds are the enemy. No one wants to turn their rage on local streets or businesses; we are, specifically, protecting them.

Presumably you saw this going around
I was born in a neighborhood Where the whistles blow real good And those fascists in their hoods Thought they'd walk over us And every single day As my mom drove to the fray She'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus: Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons, Teli your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas! Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota! Text your ex how bravely you Shoved those grannies two by two, Your grenades and gas and guns against their whistles; Say you guard the USA From the non-white and the gay As you beg her for that child support dismissal Come out, La Migra goons... Come let us hear you, please How you hunted refugees How you sought them well and truly persecuted How you'd throw a teargas bomb How you murdered someone's mom When the Good you'll never match was executed Come out, La Migra goons... Come let us hear you say How you slaughtered our Renee For the crime of pride, for looking too empowered Where are those sneers and jeers That you loudly let us hear Claiming Ross shot not in hate but as a coward Come out, La Migra goons... The time will come at last (And we'll work to bring it fast) When every MAGA Nazi runs before us And if they drag their feet Our kids'll drive them from our streets With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus:| Come out, La Migra goons, In your stumbling platoons, Tell your moms how you ate shit on ice for quotas! Tell her how despite your guns all you ever did was run from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!
