Remember, Elon Musk has sued other journalists for daring to question advertisers why they remain on X.

Walz: "I saw an individual at the scene identify themselves as medical personnel and ask to provide aid, and an ICE agent said 'I do not care.' That lack of humanity was chilling to me."

Democrats will continue to vote for Republican judges (like this guy, who refused to say who won the 2020 election) until Democrats are punished for voting for Republican judges

Grok producing vile sexualized deepfakes of women and children isn’t an accident www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/t...

an amendment that would've banned this activity specifically passed the House unanimously a few years ago and then mysteriously vanished during backroom talks between Dem & Rep leaders

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Officials have said a large part of Maduro's security contingent was killed "in cold blood."

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

“A social media video shows a uniformed DHS officer kicking over a candle at a memorial set up for Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.” "The officer in the video told a protester who confronted him, ‘I don't give a f—.’” people.com/dhs-officer-...

Ten years ago, if someone had told me that tech policy bloggers would be calling for ICE to be abolished, I would have thought it very unlikely. "Abolish ICE" is an increasingly mainstream and extremely correct position. www.techdirt.com/2026/01/08/a...

ICE surveillance is directly connected to ICE violence. One of the most concrete things that progressive leaders can do in cities targeted by ICE is work to roll back surveillance ASAP: -Cancel contracts with Flock -Ban facial recognition -End private camera registries -Data privacy protections

A resignation letter: "We all saw it. We all saw, with our own two eyes, people getting dragged like dogs and killed. But we could not write one line about it on the newspaper. In shame, we put down our pens. May 20, 1980 All Journalists of Jeonnam Maeil Shinmun"

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. @startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges. Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/07/i...

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Just a reminder that Jesse Watters conned his current wife into asking him for a ride by letting the air out of her tires.

The Republican Party is no longer American in any meaningful sense of the term, to borrow the language of the Claremont Institute.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Just to clear his up b/c some folks are confusing it a bit. (It's confusing, no slight at anyone.) There's qualified immunity against a civil suit for damages. There is also "Supremacy Clause Immunity" (SCI) against state prosecution and criminal liability, if it attaches. 1/

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

it's not even accurate! "wished she would've" is very different in this context from "should have" -- it's sadness about what happened, not a condemnation. Awful.

You're such a fucking monster if this is the pull quote you use from this interview. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Parroting obvious lies by ignoring obvious logical conclusions is called "willful blindness"

Sounds like a cover-up

i have to mute replies to this post. i was a noncitizen for most of my life and i can understand feeling triggered by the repeat references to renee good's citizenship status. but people attacking me for being insufficiently woke on immigration is, well, triggering a lot of repressed anxiety 🤷🏻‍♀️

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES anyway that was wes lowery

I know pedocon’s real and all, but it’s insane the Jan 6 pardon covered ~ 1500 people and there are now at least a half dozen since arrested for child sex crimes. That’s one in every 250! Over the course of a year! I think Pitcairn Island is the only population beating that per capita rate.

Privacy tip of the day. If you use OpenTable, opt out of data sharing, including the use of point of sale info from your reservations for them to use for their own purposes (profile you and share those profiles with restaurants: “big spender” “buys wine” etc). Account settings->Communications

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

There is an essential & extremely generalizable point here. Critical thinking is a team sport. We all need metacognition buddies because human brains. It doesn't matter how quote unquote smart you are. Especially in the slop times. The most pernicious aspect of ChatGPT is how it isolates minds.

One thing I learned from my worst job: Pearl-clutching over someone using "bad language" can be a tactic, a form of linguistic DARVO. It's used purposely to deflect from whatever point the speaker was making. Good on anyone who refuses to take the bait.

“.. critics have warned that widespread prediction-market contracts tied to war could create harmful incentives, especially if insiders charged with carrying out military actions are tempted to enrich themselves through side bets ..” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

Ah yes, the Kavanaugh stop. A brief law enforcement encounter that lasts a mere *checks notes* 25 days.

Part of the excuse offered for law enforcement officers is that they have to make split second decisions in a confusing situation. Well, the same goes for people trying to comply with their instructions - but without the training. Standards on use of deadly force must take that into account.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Call me crazy, but if someone actually were trying to run you over, shooting them to death doesn't actually remove the threat. It just means their now-dead leg weight is still on the accelerator but there's no control over the steering. These shootings are plainly retaliatory, and always have been.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
