Welcome, X refugees. The good news? We do have some non-consensual nudes here. The bad news? They are all of Alf.

As you talk about Greenland, please make sure you are talking about the >56,000 Inuit who have called the Island their home for thousands of years. Here are 2 stories that include their voices, concerns, and hopes.

Cancel your Spotify subscription.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Each new day feels like a good day to post this evergreen shirt that you can buy through my little old shop. The kitten knows what's up.

Sadly I'm still not shipping to the US while tariffs are still kicking. I don't want to charge people what I'd need to charge to cover that nonsense.

Door to door "papers please" raids by masked and armed agents of the state against the express wishes of local elected officials, but tell me again how we were "overreacting" to call Trump a fascist
Greg Bovino has officially kicked off door-to-door raids. ICE/CBP goons are seen blocking an entire block, while Bovino and his Gestapo personally go door-to-door. (St. Paul, MN. January 11, 2026)

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.
