Goodbye S and X. Tesla giving up on the auto industry.

Tech CEOs seem to believe there will never be consequences for palling around with the Trump regime

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

This NYT video shows DHS using explosives to blow the door off a home of a U.S. citizen wanted for "injuring government property" in Huntington Park CA on 6/27 as Bovino watches nearby. The case, involving a collision with a CBP vehicle, was flimsy and later dropped. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

@pivotpod.bsky.social Please get an economic boycott going! It is our last option to get real change. Get a professional graphics designer to create digital posters and social media to help. We need someone with your influence to get the ball rolling! (my pathetic attempt below)

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Straight from the Trump administration's mouth. "You do not have the right to bring a loaded firearm to a protest" Hello 2A defenders? Where are you??????

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

The clearest evidence that one ICE agent (in grey) removed the holstered gun while another agent shot him in the back 2-3 times. www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota. He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

DHS ignored a judicial search warrant issued to Minnesota DPS to investigate the crime scene.

No more funding for ICE. Period, full stop. This cannot be allowed to go on.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

This is ok tho

Elected Dems are complicit. They’re still confirming Trump nominees and acting like strongly worded letters or calls for investigations mean anything. Senators have real power to obstruct business if they want to use it. Fucking use it. Pull all the levers. It’s only going to get worse from here.

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Think about this! We now have U.S. allies having to make plans about what they will do if/when an American president decides he wants to launch a military invasion of their homeland.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019. Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

Earlier this week, several Wall Street desks suggested we were past “peak tariff uncertainty.” 🤡 @apnews.com apnews.com/article/denm...

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The New York Times provide a millisecond-by-millisecond look at the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Watch our visual investigation.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Breaking news: The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell, the central bank said, amid accusations of using the threat of prosecution to pressure the Fed.

Good morning. The top donor for a GoFundMe set up to benefit the ICE goon who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis? That would be Bill Ackman

BREAKING: The UK Government is working with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinated ban on X, per the Telegraph

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

The next Government shut down looms on January 30th. Dems should shut it down with the demand it only reopens after the resignations of Noem, Homan and Bovino. They will have the overwhelming support of the American people.

Blood and stuffies. Trump’s America.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

My initial take on the criminal law governing the ICE shooting in MN: 609.066 of the MN Code controls a self-defense claim for a "peace officer" under state law. I'm not going to consider federal law given the capture of the DOJ by the Trump administration. 1/
