insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Used a shop vac today for the first time, it is the most satisfying thing ever (and yes I have a power washer). Anyone need their shop vac’ed?

The first car I bought with my own money was named Madame Psychosis. Also the reason I started using e-readers was when I decided to tackle Infinite Jest. I 100% started to read it for the bragging rights, but stayed for the its bizarre and intricate sadness.
“Infinite Jest” is a masterpiece and a pleasure to read, Hermione Hoby writes. “Perhaps the greatest disjunction between the book’s reputation and its contents lies in the notion that it’s a pretentious slog no one could honestly enjoy.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/xQHtnb

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

If you're Chuck Schumer and you sign on to a few modest compromise reforms, and then ICE promptly murders another civilian, where do you go from there? The only options are charge straight at ICE or endure a swift and ignominious end to your political career

America does not want you to fund ICE. Period.
America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.

- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.

Crazy how Trump's lawyers have never seen anything Trump has ever said or done.
Judge Menendez asks about Trump's quote: "Your day of retribution is here." She asks what she's supposed to do with that.

Mayers says he hasn't seen that Truth Social post.

Susan Collins, Jon Husted, John Cornyn, Dan Sullivan are making it clear that they think protecting ICE's ability to murder Americans is worth shutting the government down.

Voters in Maine, Ohio, Texas, and Alaska will remember it this November.

big words from the guy who got along with Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Steve fucking Bannon
At Davos, Governor Gavin Newsom said European leaders were “complicit” and “pathetic” in how they handle President Trump, adding that he should have “brought a bunch of knee pads for them.”

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

Insh'allah and the creek don't rise.
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

Folks saying this is just as bad, I need you to reread about reconstruction. Not holding people accountable is how we get into this position. Removing people who colluded with the administration in an authoritarian takeover of higher ed from their position is the most reasonable thing to do.

and if you don't, you can still take pride in living your life in a way that would make your great grandpa spin in his grave.
Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.

Time to claim your true history.

How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.
