Call the national guard and evict ice, @governorwalz.mn.gov . Arrest them, @mayorfrey.com . Get these murderers out of our city.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck. If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

Trump Administration pivots from killing people internationally to killing people domestically.

having seen the video at this point, they are lying, this was cold blooded murder in broad daylight

Cops are great www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This thread is correct. It also echoes (with fewer curse words) the things I said to get myself targeted by the alt-right and have Fox News take a run at me so: be careful saying it. But it’s so true that these messages are going in the Trust & Safety section of the book.

The Ninth Circuit today holds that religious organizations have a First Amendment right to discriminate based on religion in hiring/firing non-ministers. The panel grounds its decision in the “church autonomy doctrine,” which the Supreme Court recognized for the first time in 2020. /1

At some point the civlib perspective that this is all just first amendment speech is going to crumble in a really spectacular (and almost inevitably spectacularly shitty) way.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

It’s very important to women in the legal profession that men take their full parental leave. They don’t call it “mommy track” for nothing. #LadyLawyerDiaries

I had an old post on Twitter about this. The US spends about 18% of its GDP on the social safety net and 3.5% on military. Germany spends about 24-25% of its GDP on the social safety net and 2% on the military. Our military spending is not why they can have nice things or why we don't.

JUST IN: Judge Noel Wise (Biden) leans in favor of @StanfordDaily suit over Trump admin's deportation campaign chilling foreign students' willingness to write op-eds/articles, says singling out pro-Palestinian voices may violate 1st Amd. Remedy tricky tho www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

There are only 218 Republicans left in the House. Make them produce a majority every day, every hour, for every thing.

According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel & repeated here by Le Monde, the Trump administration has threatened to impose sanctions on the French judges handling the domestic criminal case against Marine Le Pen. I’m not outraged; I’m enjoying imagining EU sanctions on Sam Alito.

Here’s the 4-1 Wyoming Supreme Court ruling: documents.courts.state.wy.us/Opinions/S-2... From the summary:

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election

Some scam PACs are bilking people with No Kings branding. I strongly advise you prioritize organizing with your community over donating online to anyone (us included). But if you want to donate, you can go to Indivisible.org or pick your favorite real No Kings partner at NoKings.org/partners

wild that "your body, my choice" is now the governing policy for both women, children, and foreign heads of state

Thom Tillis is welcome to caucus with Senate Democrats & give control of Congress to the only party that does not endorse the Jan 6 coup & the far right authoritarian presidency currently in power. Talk is cheap, & the hour is late. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

REALLY important to note homicide has dropped sharply all OVER the place, in places that have a lot of diff policing tactics. That doesn’t mean that what the NYPD did was irrelevant, but also def means that you can’t simply say “we did x, then crime fell,” bc a lot of not-xs saw similar drops.

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.

January 6 in History Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.” And here we are.

the same violent tactics we've seen in chicago are playing out right now on the streets of minneapolis

Chuck Schumer rejecting out of hand the one point of leverage he has, the one that was actually working really well last year until he caved, is the most Chuck Schumer he can be. spectrumlocalnews.com/mo/st-louis/...

Yeah, I suspected this was his dementia talking...

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

With all that is going on in the world, it might be easy to overlook that the D.C. Circuit appears to have changed its Special Panel (aka Motions Panel) so that it's no longer in place for a month. I think this change is both really important and really good. (A quick courts 🧵 . . . )

I don't know if you need much evidence that Ackman has no principles but he led the charge to remove Claudine Gay from President of Harvard on *much* weaker evidence of academic misconduct. Then he threatened to pursue plagiarism accusations of anyone who pointed to his wife's alleged plagiarism.

And then what happened?

The land of free speech, where disrespecting the Dear Leader’s image gets your pass revoked.

This is humiliatingly weak and pathetic. The dominant national ethos has become one of weak insecurity. It’s like if Frank Burns was a white nationalist.

This is the same story as the Grok story. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Happy Monday, friends! Here we are in Q1, which is when I do my internal audits to see how we can make things more sustainable behind the scenes here under the ever-crushing weight of our capitalist hellscape. So on that super cute note, let's talk about January! (🧵/9)

Congestion pricing is an unqualified success in NYC. It would be great to see it expanded to every city with decent public transit options. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A bit of good news: 1st Cir. affirmed the injunction blocking NIH's 15% indirect cost cap! www.ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/fi...

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day. Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained. Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Watched the America250 projection on the Washington Monument tonight. Mentioned: Columbus, Ford, Edison, Lewis & Clark, both World Wars, AI. Not mentioned: The Civil War, Lincoln, Native Americans, immigration, slavery, race, civil rights, MLK, Vietnam, or any woman.

The village of Broadview approved changes to its zoning laws. Under the limits, prisons and detention centers can't be within 1,000 feet of schools and residential areas. The Trump administration has been searching for locations to expand detention sites.

this just so perfectly encapsulates the decades-long messaging failures by the dems

"guestreservations dot com" is the worst site, they make a subdomain for every hotel so it's like name-of-hotel[.]guestreservations[.]com and they buy google ads so that they come up as the first result when you search for that hotel's name, and you mistakenly think it's the hotel's official website

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
