NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

unfortunately Rumsfeld's "known unknowns" bit is actually...a really insightful and reasonable way to look at planning for dangerous situations. I think about it all the time in my work. Pity he didn't actually understand what he was saying.

All while @atrupar.com's home city is being occupied by ICE.

"These tariffs have been in effect for almost a year. They have upended whole sectors of the U.S. & global economies. The fact that a president can illegally exercise such powers for so long & w/ such great consequences for almost a year means we’re not living in a functional constitutional system."

incredibly frustrated. i have been urging people to kill all sea lions for more than a decade, and now some politician is going to get credit for my great idea

Make the AI bros explain, in every interview, every medium, every time, how many deaths is their ability to not write their own emails worth.

“Sky and Amanda are the brother and sister-in-law, respectively, of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s international trafficking ring. Ms. Roberts Giuffre was instrumental in bringing Epstein’s crimes to light and inspiring fellow survivors to speak out.”

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that tells us we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over us all.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

Please do not let Will’s tantrum over getting the attention he wanted distract you from the amazing Minneapolis coverage Gaby has been producing all month (all while also writing a book because she’s just that good)

Will always remember watching Michael Knowles call for the “eradication of transgenderism” at CPAC … news outlets reported (correctly) that what he was calling for was the eradication of trans *people* but then bowed to pressure from Knowles’ lawyers at Daily Wire to change/hedge

New: MAGA is getting very, very creepy about gold medal figure skater Alysa Liu. I joined @peltzmadeline.bsky.social’s substack for this one: open.substack.com/pub/numbertw...

This is why I'm tired of the endless "but you have to understand where they're coming from" pieces. I do understand. I grew up with them, they're my neighbors, they got online to try to get me fired after a school board meeting. The only consistancy is power and the willingness to wield it.

As people have been saying for some time, it's not merely about sports or healthcare, it is about pushing an entire group of people out of public life.

Just so I understand this right: The AI companies are buying up all the chips so that they can generate enough AI compute power to stuff it into all of our new phones, computers, and devices, but because they bought so many chips, there will be no more new phones, computers or devices.

This man is so fucking stupid

Patriot Front members have tried to build their own intentional racist communities is through their gyms, as this mentioned. One, called Patria Gloria, posted last year about traveling around sleeping on the same mats they train on. Not super hygienic and seems like a great way to get MRSA.

Future generations are gonna be like "how did they look at pictures like this and not immediately know what was about to happen" And my generation will tell various lies about what things were like right now but the truth, of course, is that on some level we did all know

As universities are scrapping gender studies departments and courses, the “boys” in the Trump administration see their main job as engaging in performative masculinity and in naturalizing a particular form of what it means to be a man. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

In light of recent revelations that Archive(dot)today is involving its users in a DDOS attack, and altering archives to further a personal grudge, I am ceasing use of the site. I also did three quick tests of alternatives for on-demand archiving, summarized below... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Easy automatic block for me for anyone who says Tucker Carlson has a point about Israel. Israel has made itself a genocidal state. I don’t need a babbling fascist to know that especially when he speaks in the service not of antizionism but Holocaust-justifying antisemitism.

Human life is definitely inefficient, it's true. Probably best to eliminate it altogether. Machines as far as the eye can see: doing paperwork, trading Bitcoin, betting on Kalshi Alternately, we could eat the rich

The best line in this story comes from the billionaires' leaked strategy memo: “Messaging is everything. Billionaires CANNOT be the focus or face of an opposition campaign.”

Oh my god.

Far-right figure Tommy Robinson interviewed Trump administration official Kari Lake for his social media, where Lake told Robinson that "something needs to be done to ... free the people of [Great] Britain," & suggested she did not believe media coverage about Robinson's far-right activity.

As a talking head in a streaming documentary series in 2024, I wasn’t allowed (by the streamer; director similarly constrained) to mention Trump. Back in 2019, Netflix PR told me to avoid politics & religion in interviews about THE FAMILY, which is about politics & religion.

The Dallas Express, a 501c3 nonprofit publication funded primarily by its Republican megadonor publisher, is running a political ad on its website for Abteen Vaziri, a Republican candidate. I am under the impression that this is not something a 501c3 is allowed to do.

Courageous civil rights activist Jo Ann Bland passed yesterday at 72. Her life as a seasoned activist began very young. “By the time I was 11 years old,” she once wrote, “I had been arrested at least 13 documented times.”

Liberals can win on immigration through this 1 simple trick - get the basic facts out (immigration is good for the economy & for America) after overthrowing the right-wing corporate and techbro fascist control of key organs of media, such as CBS, the NYT, the Washington Post, etc.

A British grandmother with a valid UK passport and visa was held prisoner by ICE for six weeks because apparently “individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Aww I’m sorry, did someone bust some windows of the incoming concentration camp?

Trump getting rid of Roberts, then Dems winning Senate control in midterms, so seat remains vacant until AOC appoints @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social Chief Justice would be just the perfect answer to how McConnell got us into this mess in the first place.

It's wild watching evil erode her appearance in real time. Demonic behavior is terrible for the skin

On this day in 1965, Malcolm X, an outspoken critic of racism and white supremacy, was assassinated in New York City. He was just 39 years old and left behind his wife and six young daughters.

I'm skeptical that the administration would actually return the cash if so ordered. But if they do, there's very good odds that billions will wind up with Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick's firm. The rank, obvious corruption is so in-your-face.

Christian nationalism is white supremacy, patriarchy, and greed masquerading around as a follower of Jesus.

This, but also seizing all his wealth would do more for everyone on Earth than the $2,000 per person.

I don’t see the lie.

Walking down the street today and found myself thinking about an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Turned the corner and, boom, there they were. I love it when stuff like that happens.

sometimes the internet sees me and I am heard

yeah, fuck this to the moon

Huckabee is a genocidally-minded Christian Zionist fascist. Carlson is a genocidally-minded antisemitic fascist. You don’t need to platform the latter to critique the former. I love the Holler, & trust they don’t mean it like this—but they shld be aware of how it’ll be received by many.

Straight to the point: "The Constitution lodges the Nation's lawmaking powers in Congress alone" www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

You want me to teach my students to spend more time on the Bullshit Engine That Advocates Murder? No. Fuck that.

While I usually just ignore this stuff, I think it's worth considering the relationship to a broad culture of deferentialism that helped facilitate fascist state capture in the first place. Waiting for institutions to confirm what we know & see right in front of us will never advance liberation.

In a scammy mix of impersonation and plagiarism, spammers on Facebook are impersonating a Ukraine-based luthier (Tanya Shpachuk) by lifting videos from her real YouTube and TikTok accounts. There are, however, multiple signs that the Facebook account in question is fake.

I'm generally anti-rabbit hole, but I followed Molly Shah down this one, and it is indeed dark and depressing and a synecdoche of a world.

Trump promised mass deportation and she knew that. When he actually won, she tried to tone down his threats, saying he “is not going to be targeting those people who have been here for more than five years that have American kids, that don’t have criminal records …” How’s that going, Congresswoman?

I'm at a little wine bar in Saskatoon and they just put on the Canada-Sweden curling final from earlier today. I don't have the heart to tell them how it ends.

Cats will act all happy and excited to see you after a vacation, and then less than 12 hours later you’ll discover they found their food bag, tore it open, and had been freely grazing on it for days without anyone noticing.

Are you aware that the congressional bill which forced the [partial, so far] disclosure of the Epstein files disclosed that the files contained evidence of torture and death, by stipulating that the DOJ could withhold such material?

“Required” meaning Kristi Noem‘s DHS made up a bad interpretation of the law, and Congressmembers including @repangiecraig.bsky.social rolled over and let it happen

The thing people don't get is that when Sec 230 is repealed, platforms could become much more restrictive in their moderation to avoid legal risk. Smaller platforms like BSky might struggle to survive due to higher compliance/legal costs and some lawful content might be removed preemptively.

“Many of these individuals were shackled hand and foot for flights lasting more than 50 hours to countries they had never set foot in, including Sudan and Eswatini.”

Latest from me at @truthout.org: Right now organizers both inside and outside of Rojava are calling for international solidarity as the region faces an existential threat.

Trump’s quotidian corruption so often flies under the radar.

Is this some kind twisted magick-with-a-k by Alan Moore to punish those who said V for Vendetta was a caricature? Or is it actually a stealth announcement of Australia’s plan to conquer the UK? (AC/DC seems an odd choice for “restoring Britain.” If only they had a rock tradition of their own!)
