- Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

- every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
- When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.
- Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start magically getting made with AI ➡️ ca.investing.com/news/stock-m... #GoogleGemini #TakeTwo #CDProjektRED #Roblox #videogames
- Activating the anti-Wobbly, anti-Scandinavian socialist discourse from the 1910s Red Scare era in the Pacific Northwest. Rufo has clearly been mainlining some seriously high-grade, well-aged, artisanal American fascism from the deepest recesses of his historical cellar.
- Chris Rufo is so upset about the Minneapolis protests that he is resorting to anti-Nordic racism christopherrufo.com/p/the-curse-...

- The United States is not actually in a constitutional crisis. Our Constitution works just fine. We are in a crisis of character — where nearly every single person who has sworn an oath to uphold our Constitution and enforce the law lacks the courage, moral fiber, and decency to do what is right.

- Street art memorializing Alex Pretti in Seattle. Per r/Seattle, it was painted on a building facing Swedish Hospital in the First Hill neighborhood www.reddit.com/r/nursing/co...
- President Trump has crossed a line. Now the only question is, do my colleagues really believe in enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of Americans?

- I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

- The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

- The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
- Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

- People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

- We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

- Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
- ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.
- This. You were paid a lot and a lot of power and responsibility were placed on your shoulders. You preened for years on how important your roles were. And then at the first adverse wind you folded like cheap lawn chairs while ordinary people took up the torch of the values you claimed to defend.

- no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch
- I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

- No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
