People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?
"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-brosβ 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.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

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."

I love how unique her campaign has been.
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.
Goldenβs renewable energy lab lays off another 134 people
I just assume Bezos forwarded him a list of bullet points from Stephen Miller.
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.
Weβll let the childrenβs words speak for themselves. π§΅
Lol ok. I saw a better analysis in a Reddit comment. The show was FULL of political and cultural nods.
β(This is how men behave.)β
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 havenβt been fired should be striking in solidarity. Everyone else should be boycotting the paper.

The Religious Left Is a Leader in the ICE Resistance
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.
Heβs been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
Say his name:
βOmar was undeterred and continued the town hall.β
Badass.
I hate this timeline with every fiber of my being. Rand Paul is making perfect sense. How absolutely insane is that?
This is the proper use of social media.
Pretty sure thatβs a war crime tho

The FBI is raiding a Georgia election office right now, per Fox News, related to the 2020 election.
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.
(deep breath)
Lotta words to say absolutely nothing of value.
