People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

Manosphere podcasters have second thoughts What have they wrought?

"Rogan, Schulz, and Von now express reservations & regrets, which is fine & merits some praise & encouragement. But for the kid traumatized by watching his dad or abuelita forced to the ground, handcuffed, & whisked away in a van, the pod-bros’ awakenings come too late." β€” @schaller67.bsky.social

Over 300,000 workers went on strike in 2025 β€” a 13% increase from the previous year.

Why?

Perhaps it's because CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Workers have every right to be fed up. Solidarity.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

It is not how men behave. It is how creeps behave. I swear to god, nobody is as eager to torch the reputation of men as men are.

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.

DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics.

This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany.

All WaPo employees who haven’t been fired should be striking in solidarity. Everyone else should be boycotting the paper.

(this should have happened years ago but better late than never)

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether. "We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas GonzΓ‘lez in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
