A DSA-aligned candidate running a mutual aid campaign model just beat a pro-genocide competitive-authoritarian centrist backed by the full force of the DNC and tens of millions of dollars of money from a war criminal and miscellaneous billionaires. The model works.

Sheep Detectives is the first film to make me ugly cry for fifteen uninterrupted minutes. Such an absurdly tight screenplay. I wish our cops were plucky Seth Cohen boy-made-goods and not roided-out gun-toting maniacs. And what’s with all the sheep and why can’t i have any within city limits?
i haven’t been posting much lately. i’ve got a lot of irons in the fire. and with the free time i do have, well, someone’s gone and taught me to stop and smell the sunflowers.
HASAN: “There’s a generational divide. That’s the real secret… entrenched power in the Democratic Party is frustrated they’re losing seniority-backed positions they waited for for DECADES. That’s what the resentment is all about. You’re skipping the line.” FULL: www.instagram.com/reel/DbBE7Zv...
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
something set off my proximity alarm here in the middle of downtown.
fact check: DHS very explicitly forbids use of deadly force against the operator of a motor vehicle, even when that vehicle is directed at an agent, unless moving out of the way is not possible. this is some sucka’-ass shit, NYT.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social Had a call w/ SiembraNC yesterday reporting the same thing. The largest numbers of arrests here come from DWLR citations by local law enforcement, meaning our police are cashing in tens of millions in taxpayer-funded incentives under the §287(g) collaboration program.
The Zaporogues Cossacks Writing a Letter to the Sultan of Turkey. The sheer FAFO energy of a bunch of dudes who simply do not give a fuck about being massively outmanned and outgunned and rather than capitulating simply got drunk and wrote “lol no u” in the most colorful language possible.
Art question 🎨 What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favorite. The one that lingered.
Thom Tillis responded to my brother’s inquiry about the theft and plagiarism of intellectual property by #AI with an AI-generated email.
As @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social said, this is extremely interesting. I’ve wrote a lot about how insidious Englebert v. Boule was, and how it laid the groundwork for a fascist executive branch to act with literal impunity. It took an ICE invasion of our cities for states to get the memo.
For @boltsmag.org, I wrote about one of the more under-the-radar ways that states are using their power to curb federal overreach: creating state laws under which people can sue federal officials for constitutional violations and get ideally around SCOTUS' narrowing of Bivens
The only sane thing to do to prevent any more national embarrassments:

Last time these KKK Patriot Front clowns tried to roll up on the City of Brotherly Love, they “literally ran away from the People of Philadelphia.” EVERY city should be like this. No quarter for domestic terrorists. ✊🏽🙏🏽🦅🔔🇺🇸
