“If a mostly white community can push back on this project and get it stopped, it’s unacceptable that the next move is to fly under the radar in a rural Black community with even less transparency,” Black added. www.canarymedia.com/articles/dat...

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

The people of MN give me far more hope than the largely feckless “opposition” leaders of our country or the deeply compromised and ineffectual media both-sidesing white nationalist totalitarianism.

incredibly techbrained solution here. they're detaining people and smashing their phones just for taking pictures right now but somehow they'll stand still enough for an observer to scan their qr code??

Who are the “two US officials” and why would CBS give them anonymity when they are just putting something out there that DHS and ICE obviously wants put out. Who are these “US officials” and why are they granted anonymity???

This is a pretty severe escalation from CBS, just straight up lying like this.

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

"if we win, that will answer every question" is in fact precisely the problem with this entire generation of democrats. it was the thinking that permeated the early biden administration and guess what: the problems weren't solved and in fact got much worse. need someone who will put power to use

ICE AGENTS IF YOURE READING THIS a common midwestern technique to test if you are underdressed is to lick a metal pole outside. if it stays wet for more than 5 seconds after you pull your tongue away, it means you are warm enough. please SHARE to spread awareness

Remember when Rep. Joe Wilson screamed, "you lie!" in the middle of an Obama SOTU? Dems should be chanting "pedo!" at every Trump speech

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

I would suggest the following reform for ICE -disband the agency and prosecute all abuses committed under its banner

hell yeah. I'm going to eat a credit card right now www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money

The body camera plug here is so dark. He was filming when he shot her! It’s an unreformable agency. Nuke it from orbit.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

this is how to get missiles fired at airliners

Framing a violation of international law in the way of “4 easy steps to optimise your skincare routine” is a new level of ghoulishness. I don’t even know what to say at this point.

Grifters gotta grift

Excellent instructional video pass it on

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.

You absolutely love to see it

This may sound crazy but I don't think the problem with ICE is that they are bad at their job. They are, but that is not the relevant factor

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Immigration officers received a "legal refresher" reminding them that personal insults and rude gestures are legal, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

mood

stuff like this is one of the reasons why it’s incredibly important to constantly film everything ICE is doing while terrorizing communities bc it humiliates them

Today we commit to making New York affordable not just for artists, but for making art. We are proud to name Rafael Espinal as Commissioner of MOME as we stand with union workers and usher in a new golden age of NYC creativity.

I'm not sure most people have any idea how often the answer to "why can't I get the municipal service I want" is "because the police union sends their heavies to budget meetings" I heard WILD stories from a friend who was the arts rep to a midsized town's council. the cops basically had veto power!

New paper w/ Kulesza & @cmwitko.bsky.social A worry about campaign contribution limits is that they don't stop money, they just shift it to Citizens United/SpeechNow "independent expenditures" We find that this didn't happen. Keep calm & regulate on www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nk11m... 1/n

The increase in anti-Jewish hatred and violence in the United States over the past decade is the direct result of a fascist project of White Christian nationalism. The goal is to deflect popular anger against the billionaires hoarding all the wealth and power towards minorities who can be blamed.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.

Want to help people in Minneapolis right now? Here are a lot of ways to help!

Minnesota update: my most apolitical aunt is sharing Fuck ICE content in the family groupchat

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

ICE apparently lacks capacity to oppress more than one city at a time. This is performative authoritarianism. performative authoritarianism that has killed people, yes. It’s not a joke. But it is also incapable of any sort of meaningful authoritarian consolidation. They lack the numbers to win.

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

This is so important, and it's happened everywhere Bovino's goon squad goes...Charlotte, NOLA, etc.

Ten years in and NYT still can't help but be awestruck by the tyrant and his appetites:

Seems to be this, a non-ICE (afaict) incident in the hospital abc7ny.com/post/brookly...

more details here-- not killed but sounds like at least one victim required a tourniquet

Multiple helicopters hovering over park slope right now
