“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This is the story.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Roses are red Violets are blue

no one: absolutely nobody: shopify: “to be clear, we’re still cool with antisemitism”

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

best analogy so far

but her emails

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which disburses funds to PBS and NPR stations, gets $535 million a year in federal funding. So any official who seriously wanted to achieve billions in cost savings would start elsewhere – like the $874 billion spent on national defense.

trump is the wound, musk is the flesh-eating bacteria

Pretty as a native beach hibiscus flower 🌺🤎

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

They're not fooling anyone.

Russian government would test these things by shutting down, say, a single independent TV station out of many. These tests are the first signs and it is 1000% true we must keep fighting.

black mirror never could’ve predicted a future as boringly apocalyptic as this one. it has all the intrigue of a star wars sequel

Terrible take. To “let him” do anything is what got us here. There’s always action that can be taken. This is more “inaction as a strategy” I can’t stand from democrats.

let’s hear it for weggys

this is awesome

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

this broke my brain

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee. Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

holy FUCK

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

I love having night mode on my apps, then tapping on an article link to be blasted by the website’s white background. 10/10 experience every time.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

read receipts on instagram is bad for mental health

pop culture in 2025

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

“we’ve got a great show for you tonight” is such a crucial emcee line for SNL. in the pilot episode it doesn’t happen and you realize how much it ties the night’s show together.

drake having a song blow up on tiktok is an officially dated moment in time.

yeah this would destroy tiktok

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

so was this world always awful and it’s finally revealing itself in our lifetimes

two scenarios: 1. this is a distraction from some other batshit thing he’s currently doing. 2. this is actually the batshit thing he intends to do. either way? indefensible.
