Who the fuck is still using Twitter in 2025? I continue to see it mentioned in articles, like this celebrity or politician said this on "X." Oh, hell no! No one can claim ignorance at this point. If you use X, you may as well drive a Cybertruck and wear a MAGA cap. www.flyingpenguin.com?p=49582

If you voted for Trump, you voted for Musk. Spread the message far and wide. We have a lot of cult members to deprogram, and the first step is forcing them to recognize they made a mistake.

Things move so much faster in this modern era. Not even 100 days in, and it's already the "death camps for American citizens" phase. I'm nothing special poltically. But I have a big mouth, so one of these days, you may never hear from me again. Please speak up with me. 💚 youtu.be/4a-_GdU1Vjo?...

So... how many of y'all out there are thinking we keep getting the runaround on this because Abrego Garcia is already dead and admitting to that would highlight that this is not about deportation at all but concentration/death camps? There are many others to free, but we can't let this one go! 💚

I just wrote this piece for @thenation.com about today's White House spectacle and what Trump and the U.S. are learning from Bukele and what we can learn from the long history of anti-fascist struggle in El Salvador. bit.ly/4cxgR73

I just got back from taekwondo class, and my legs are painful jelly. On my own, I'd never choose to work my legs as hard as this, like ever. This is a big part of what makes the class so valuable. God I love taking classes. If I won the lottery, I'd probably go back to college and get a doctorate.

Good thread. No action taken to bring the administration to heel in this moment would be excessive, in my view. They work for us and we must revoke our consent

Voters wanted to LOWER the cost of living Trump and Republicans promised they would Now instead they're RAISING costs -- through tariffs (national sales taxes of 10-50% on EVERYTHING) and now by cutting the ACA and Medicaid (raising healthcare costs) 100% BAIT-AND-SWITCH

For the last three hours of my dreams last night (this morning), I was explaining the word "interface," like a very long lecture on the idea. How a computer or phone's physical interface (keyboard, mouse, etc.) is different from the software's "UI" and "APIs" between layers of software. I'm a nerd.

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

You will find the scope of this new PROOF report—the third in a series on the Trump-El Salvador Scandal—staggering. You will want to know this information before the Trump-Bukele Summit Monday. It is worse than anyone feared.

Me when people call the 1990s "the late 1900s."

I'm watching last night's SNL, just loving the shitty closed captioning. Colin Jost apparently just introduced Emil Wakim as "a meal with Queen." 😭 We're so cooked. Civilization is dead. Cheers. #snl #SaturdayNightLive

It's interesting to think about what deportation *directly to a prison* does to the state of the law on whether or not deportation is a punishment (with all the rights that invokes). Might be time for some new litigation but I'm sure I'm not the first person thinking that.

Figured I'd make a little thread with things people may not know about the cruelty of U.S. jails and prisons. 1. In California, guards force detainees into "gladiator fights" for their own amusement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Season 1 of True Detective was legendary, but with every Salesforce commercial I see, it loses a little more of its magic and I become that much less likely to recommend it or ever rewatch it. #aiSucks #fuckAI

I'm not trying to be like "Ooo look at me, I'm so weird," but… It can't be 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 unusual to feel stifled and constrained by all the arbitrary social norms. I can't go into too much detail because these unspoken rules are rigid as hell, but I will say a bed is not my preferred place to sleep.

This is so fucking sick. The factors used to flag a person as irredeemable have nothing to do with their time in prison. You can do everything right, and it won't matter a bit to the computer deciding your fate.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...
