Just had the most fun I've had in a long time seeing @mariabamford.bsky.social in Pittsburgh with my daughter. I was constantly wiping tears from laughing so much. Her crowd work is the best. Thanks for a great night (and check out her tour dates to see if you'll be lucky enough to catch her show).

100% The Roberts court, using the shadow docket, just sanctioned the rendition of immigrants to third party countries they have never known and where they will likely be imprisoned, tortured or killed. Fuck John Roberts' vacation. Fuck civility. It's the only accountability he will ever know.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Jesus. Pam Bondi just purported to replace the DC police chief and revoke guidance from earlier today that instructed police to continue to comply with DC’s sanctuary laws — laws duly passed by our city council, elected by our voters. Even more radical than we’d feared.
The attorney general's directive comes hours after Smith directed MPD officers to share information with immigration agencies regarding people not in custody - such as someone involved in a traffic stop or
checkpoint. The Justice Department said Bondi disagreed with the police chief's directive because it allowed for continued enforcement of "sanctuary policies."Bondi said she was rescinding that order as well as other MPD policies limiting inquires into immigration status and preventing arrests based solely on federal immigration warrants.
All new directives must now receive approval from Cole, the attorney general said.
