no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

🤔 Is using someone's 5 year old child against them to facilitate their arrest and conviction wrong? Phrased another way: Why would Black people who are 100% innocent ever plead guilty and confess to a crime that they know that they didn't do? To avoid losing custody of their kids.🤷🏿‍♂️

If you are a woman with a 5 year old child, and you earn close to minimum wage, and you are falsely accused of a crime? You probably can't afford bail. If you sit in jail pre-trial for a year to prove your innocence, you can lose custody of your child. Many women prefer to plead guilty instead.

Governing with people who refuse to accept the real data & lived experiences that point clearly to rent assistance & eviction prevention being the quickest, humane & fiscally responsible way to keep people from falling into homelessness is so frustrating. I'm sorry, community. You deserve better. ❤️‍🩹

Cuttin trillions in taxes for the rich while they figure out how close they can get to starving people

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

i'm way less scared of civil war ii erupting than i am of absolutely nothing changing as things get worse and worse & the entire media apparatus pivots to pretending that using 5-year olds as bait to try and lure people out of their houses before also arresting the 5-year olds is normal

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

if you're in line to hate america, stay in line!!

this one's been gettin' a lotta play in my head lately

This guy saw Shingy in person once and said “this is the hair of a genius, I too will don the hair of a genius and become a genius.”

He’s our own Puxsutawney Ted, predicting ice and a possible grid collapse.

“How much are we spending on officers to enforce this? On the courts? Could we be spending that on real solutions to homelessness?” www.opb.org/article/2026...

Starting to think the speaker’s eyes are glue on and googly.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

I remember how I was asked, live on German television, a mere 48 hours after No Kings II: “Why are there no protests?” And three months later, as the people of Minneapolis are standing in solidarity against the outrageous occupation of their city, I’m still getting that question in most interviews.

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality. I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

"Kate, you should use AI to handle your terrible email inbox!" Microsoft Copilot: "Sorry, it looks like I can’t respond to this. Let’s try a different topic. Suggestions: Write a rap song. Show me some cool facts. Teach me a new word!"

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

“may your grandkids race to change their names” is actually an incredible curse we should all start adding to our repertoire it’s gonna be true of a lot of these people

friendly neighborhood barred attorney telling you to never put your ID on your phone

French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

Can we say the truth.

Tech billionaires have no sense of art or the humanities. I’m not certain any of them really even know how to read. A public fundraiser would be a better ask.

I'm going to fucking lose it, this man was grown in a lab for me to support

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder. Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

so incredibly grateful for the laughs this ridiculous early 2000s youth group nonsense gave us all tonight

To whomever needs to hear it: You aren’t a tree, you can MOVE. For any area in life you not fucking with right now, get on the good foot and make some changes. I love you for real 🫶🏽

I like the genre of posts where someone shares a video of a little old lady in Minnesota going “oh gosh, I sure hope those boys don’t freeze” and all the replies are people saying “that’s Minnesotan for I’m going to feast on your bones in Valhalla”

I'm ok with this if and only if the show is actually a cover for a super unethical social science experiment

Gorgeous. This is how to run a city!

Lang's boys are vastly outnumbered by folks in opposition across the road here. People chanting, "go home Nazis" and "Nazis fuck off!"

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

“A.i.” sucks.

I’m on a mute list called “uses tech bro as a slur” and I keep wanting to tell them it’s one word.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.
