This is so deeply fucked. I wish these people would just admit they hate the idea of democracy and get it over with. This kayfabe bullshit is just silly at this point.
North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ...

Blue MAGA wants to convince me that the Democratic Party is not right wing.
the same party that created the crime bill, destroyed welfare, created neoliberal trade policies, passed the Patriot Act, bombed Libya and bankrolled a genocide in Gaza is not right wing?

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

What is currently killing me re: the vagueries handed out by people using AI in strategic contexts is that the information would be more specifc and actionable if it were coming from an overconfident psychic/tarot/palm reader.

When we talk about the ~ozempic discourse~ it's easy to think about that as a kind of broad social or marketing pressure that's applied equally to everyone with a body.
It's worth noting that it shows up in more acute & targeted ways, too. I'm getting more emails like this one than I have in years.

Just a reminder that David Brooks is in the Epstein files and that he fucked and married his 23 year younger research assistant.
No one should listen to him about morals or virtues.

David Brooks has gotten away with doing terrible political philosophy for a really long time. I don't thikn the problem with editorial pages is bad political philosophy, but it is *a* problem, and is part of how we got Weiss, Douthat, and many other dingleberries.
The kind of utter confusion Brooks is going to inflict on Yale undergrads.

Kristina is family. Trust that if she is asking it’s both needed AND going to where it should go.
I helped mobilize a group of neighbors to provide direct aid to nearly 50 families who are in hiding from ICE.
These folks deserve fresh, familiar foods. So we're purchasing groceries direct from neighborhood Latino markets whenever we can.

This is going to make the city *better* which will make billionaires’ lives better but they still won’t fucking get it.
Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)
