I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...

I’ll go for a run but only with my emotional support scissors.

It's not a chore if you don't do it.

Are you okay, bro? You’re barely drinking life like a fountain that’s pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

It remains so funny to me how many people who claim to be socialists thought the Biden Administration was a disaster for the working class when the objective truth is it was a disaster for the bosses.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Yet another reminder that cutting Medicaid is deeply unpopular across the ideological spectrum. Just 10% of Americans (just 18% of Republicans) in the latest Quinnipiac poll want to see Medicaid funding decrease. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

Democratisation often occurs because wealthy people fear the risk of being expropriated by arbitrary authoritarians.

Shoutout to @rangemedia.co showing how independent media can still produce some of the highest quality local and national journalism while also having all odds stacked against. Truly grateful to have you here in the great lilac city.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

surfing the barrel of it’s so over and we’re so back

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

the cop in this picture is losing and the kids getting pepper sprayed are winning and if, instead, the kids beat the cop to death it would be a catastrophic loss. if you cannot see that, go home.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

me: may i have one vitamin vitamin bottle: how about nine me: just one please vitamin bottle: eleven it is!

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

full house sequel show "fullest house" where the house is full of secret rooms and maze like passageways with a ton of heretofore unseen uncles and there are also "false uncles" and secret rare uncles only spoken of in whisper and a colony of golden labs and just loose beach boys roaming around

imagine you've just pulled off the longest string of train & bank robberies in american history and you're expecting to get a cool new nickname reflecting your status but instead the papers start calling you the "sundance kid" like you'd shrivel up into an onion skin there's no coming back from that

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police *habitually* target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

sorry you got your feelings hurt when i said you have a serial killer hair cut

when a bird gets in your house through the chimney it must seem like a portal to another dimension. it's Sliders for them basically. if that bird understood english you would have a frame of reference through which you could explain to it what Sliders is about
