Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

the image of liam ramos circulated it was more powerful than the entire gop propaganda machine, including the white house, fox news, and their courtiers in the mainstream media it was such a compelling story that they had to furiously react with spin. they can be beaten. they bleed.

At risk of sounding like a dreadful centrist, everyone has a point here and here is my proposed solution: Be actively worried about 2026 election fraud and voter suppression, and also emphasize the importance of voting anyway This is the best solution for everyone involved, libs and leftists alike

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Don’t forget the kids who weren’t lucky enough to have a cute photo go viral to get people outraged on their behalf. They ALL must be released.

"When in doubt, draw a distinction." Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that. This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one. I will post them one at a time. Ready?

When cops put their bodies between us and the feds, I will praise them. When a buddy calls a buddy to get his wife released, it’s good for the person who is freed, but it’s not news.

A thing people around here don't talk enough about is how, to this day, the most expensive residential real estate transaction in Franklin County, Ohio history is Epstein selling his New Albany house back to Les Wexner for $8 million in 1998. He bought it for less than half that six years prior.

Yes — that's why I hope folks focus on indy journalist Georgia Fort, arrested for covering the same church protest, an Emmy award winner who went out on her own to focus on social justice issues — & does not have the vast resources and celebrity lawyer available to her that Lemon has.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

NEW: Special elections in the razor-thin Democratic majority-Houses in Maine and Pennsylvania. Billions of dollars in funding for school. A congressional primary. There are plenty of important elections right around corner, in FEBRUARY. So i put together my monthly guide of elections to watch:

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

New information from DHS documents shows ICE is now using AI tools from Palantir to help process tips submitted to its public tipline by pulling summaries and quick takeaways to help agents act faster.

They wore yellow stars to complain about vaccine mandates

THIS is the last straw!!!

A good time to repost this about Ilhan Omar 💕

Ilhands Omar

Repeal the Patriot Act.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

better get to sleep so I can wake up and increase shareholder value while my country actively burns down

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Signal boosting. I've known Dr Gill forever online... an amazing human. Please get the word out and donate if you can. I'm from Bangor and this effort means the world to me.

[watching through military binoculars as orange slices are handed out to kids between halves at pee wee soccer] This is PROFESSIONAL grade logistics. Look at the matching uniforms. Look at the coordination. Someone is BANKROLLING this operation. [retreats using a series of elaborate rolls]

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.

Been thinking quite a bit over the last week about how what is happening in Minnesota is not new. People keep saying it is the imperial boomerang, but it's an extension of what our govt has done to native people for centuries. It's a good time to read up on AIM and the writings of native leaders.

Taps the sign.

Nigerians: Well represented at the SuperBowl. Seahawks 🇳🇬Boye Mafe 🇳🇬Jackson Smith-Njigba 🇳🇬Uchena Nwosu 🇳🇬Nick Emanwori 🇳🇬Olu Oluwatimi Patriots 🇳🇬Mike Onwenu 🇳🇬Thomas Odukoya Silly thing: there was a long stretch in the 80s and 90s when NFL coaches avoided Nigerian athletes for talking back.🤷🏿‍♂️

Just like we drew it up baby.

AJ Barner emerging as a just really solid tight end has been one of the quieter stories of the season he's just a good blocker and a good receiver! Not like a top 10 guy but he's just Good it Rocks Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

The national response to Minneapolis has me revisiting the killing of Silverio González Villegas by ICE in Franklin Park, IL. I reported on it last fall. Worth remembering. southsideweekly.com/a-tragic-hom...

You just have to go over and around them. Trying to peel them off is useless. There are more of us and more people who think like us who don’t vote. That’s who we should be engaging with politically instead of spending billions to convert cultists

Prison is the moderate position.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

There is a reason that Palestinians and Black Americans felt common cause with one another ... because of overlapping experiences with the same types of tactics and the same types violence. In other words, it’s been here the whole time.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

For Alex. For Renee. For Amir Locke, and Breonna Taylor, and Sandra Bland, and George Floyd, and Thurman Blevins, and Philando Castile. For the children. Every life ended by an angry, inhuman, spiteful white supremacist State. This tryanny will end. The Spring will come. I love you all.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like: 1) They were beating a struggling man with batons 2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back 3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away 4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back
