I’ve been doing some in-depth reporting on the Prairieland cases, and had to get this out first as I continue to dig: I spoke with Ana Bell, sister of Des, who it turns out co-owns and runs an indie bookstore. We talked about the case, the judge, book banning, ICE killings, and living through this:

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

If you click through to the video, you’ll hear a young woman repeatedly telling a college professor that President Trump has declared that what the Professor had been teaching is illegal and she’ll be meeting with the head of the university about it. It’s chilling and scary.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

A nation that metabolizes as "normal" the fact that red-pilled, conspiracy-obsessed ideologues with zero qualifications and zero concern for empirical reality are running the country, is a nation that doesn't have much of a future ahead of it as either a democracy or a remotely prosperous place.

Lol. Lmao.
Screenshot of two posts on X (formerly Twitter) by Joey Mannarino. In the first post, dated February 26, he writes: "The Epstein Files come tomorrow. Any living people on that list should immediately be jailed." The post has 391 replies, 236 reposts, 2.8K likes, and 90K views. In the second post, made two hours ago, he writes: "Being in the Epstein Files does not mean you’re a pedophile. Epstein was a member of Mar-A-Lago for years until Trump threw him out. Of course there will be incidental mentions of Trump. Give me a break with this non-story!" Both posts feature his profile picture of him in a suit with a red background.

It was a delight to talk to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social about The Onion thriving in the dumbest environment imaginable. (It's because actual human people subscribe to the good stuff, despite or maybe because of the countervailing Bezosbucks funding dogshit.) www.status.news/p/the-onion-...
In recent years, some top comedians have said "woke" culture is killing comedy. I assume you don't agree. How do you see it?

“Woke culture is killing comedy” is an incredibly profitable sentence. I just wrote that sentence six seconds ago and Jeff Bezos showed up at my door to offer me a $2 million comedy special on Amazon Prime. Which, as of this sentence, is a great streaming service and company. Woke culture bad now! The problem is poor people! Gotta go count my money now. Bye bye!

The Senate GOP passed the largest wealth transfer in US history yesterday. It includes a $975 billion income tax break for the 1%, the largest cut to food stamps in history, and a 60% increase in the number of uninsured Americans. This is a dramatic escalation in class warfare.
