We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Haiti TPS has been TERMINATED.
Those with terminated TPS are in our nation Illegally. They have two options: LEAVE IMMEDIATELY or be DEPORTED.

Underneath is a screenshot of a video showing two Haitian men in chains being led to the aircraft. I didn’t post the video, but it’s vile.

I have been all around the world in Google Maps. I’ve been to every country, seen every city under the sun. What I have come to realize is that Pittsburgh is the most beautiful city in the world.

The American soccer fan is a tourist. They wear the mask of a Brit, a German, an Argentine, or a Frenchman and pretend that they are one. It is not real. It is tourism. Come home, I say. Watch baseball with me.

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

I didnt appreciate ESPN classic enough when we had it around. A tv channel that only airs baseball games from 40 years ago? Whoever had that idea received divine inspiration. RIP

Can’t sleep because my mind can’t stop thinking about the bass line during the chorus of Everyone Thinks I’m A Raincloud by Guided By Voice. It’s a ludicrously good song but the bass line during the chorus might be the best part.

Sometimes you just gotta check in on Guided By Voices and listen to the 3 albums that have been released since you last checked in on GBV 6 weeks ago.

*record scratch* yup, that’s me. I guess you could say I have a life pretty normal life. Or at least I _did_ have a normal life, until I was bit by a radioactive dog and gained the power to smell people’s farts while they’re still in their butt. Or whatever.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Spielberg outbid Tim Burton for the rights to Lincoln. Burton wanted to cast Johnny Depp as a gothic top-hat-wearing freak. Supposedly was going to be very twisted.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

America’s premier opera company is in trouble. Very sad to read about. I only became interested in opera a few years ago, but it has quickly become basically my favorite form of music. Going to the opera is such a fun experience. Everyone should give it a shot. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/a...

They’re called “kitchen table issues” because every evening we sit down to break bread with our loved ones and have a 45 minute conversation about the price of milk. Then for dessert we toss a football around the table while talking about gas prices as John Mellencamp plays in the background.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
