Also, these Billy Bob Thornton T-Mobile ads are just incomprehensible. Who do they think they're appealing to?

I just don't think shitty playoff games should be allowed. Get on that, NFL.

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

The world tries to make you do this but never let the cowardice of elites make you cynical towards the courage and goodness of normal people

My favorite signs from today's ICE Out for Good protest in Pasadena. #ICEOut

“Whose streets? Our streets!” Protesters have shut down Columbus demanding the arrest of Johnathan Ross and ICE be abolished. #JusticeForGood #AbolishICE #RefuseFascism

Bostonians have also gathered in large numbers to protest against ICE and Trump.

Hundreds of nurses, college faculty, teachers, school aides, bus drivers and labor union members march to a #IceOutforGood vigil in Portland, OR, to condemn the violent, unprecedented attacks on our communities, on our streets, in our schools and hospitals, everywhere.

We visited Renee Good's memorial. There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone. Flowers & stuffed animals galore. Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water. Grief. And belief. Scenes from Minneapolis:

Moment of calm: a distant regatta and the Olympic Mountains from the Salish Sea.

Happening now: hundreds have gathered in downtown Chicago to rally against both ICE/Border Patrol violence and US intervention in Venezuela. This is one of only multiple anti-ICE demonstrations planned in Chicago this weekend.

Several hundred people form a human banner spelling out “IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT!!” at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach during a protest Saturday in response to the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent. 📸: Erik Castro/Special to The Chronicle

Tiny Petoskey, MI showed up and showed OUT—bundled up, boots in the snow, breath visible in the bitter cold. When even the smallest towns refuse silence, you know this movement is real. Justice doesn’t hibernate. Neither do the people. ❄️✊ #ICEOutForGood Credit to the amazing @bocksam.bsky.social

Either you gone lose your values or learn to fight for them

Doc Rivers: "What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder"

I think it’s important for everyone to do a little care work for strangers, especially if we’re mostly used to fighting with our keyboards.

But as in landlessness alone resides highest truth, shoreless, indefinite as God

Copy editors and all other headline writers should have bylines so people can scream at whoever actually wrote the headline instead of the reporter(s) who wrote the story

Crazy Northern Lights tonight!

Feel like this should perhaps be an article in the articles of impeachment Dems are writing up for Noem. Running an agency that defies federal courts interpreting the plain text of unambiguous statutes.

Sorry, did i say "almost certainly using LLM's" to evaluate the syllabi and readings of disciplines they don't actually understand? I meant literally exactly that: Cf, the @texastribune.org's article "Texas universities deploy AI tools to review and rewrite how some courses discuss race and gender"

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.

BTW the "knowing" use of "kinetic" for "violent" is a tell every time, a reference back to the Ghost Infrastructure.

Just watched a liberal in a more leftist group crash out, literally crash out and leave the group, because some people criticized the No Kings marches. And also someone else used the word "comrades." We have to do better, people. Is it a big tent or not?

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned. This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE. ictnews.org/news/i-felt-...

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.

There are few genres of post I like more than "grumpy older person who was opposed to getting dog now completely wrapped around dog's paw."

Dave Mathews took time on his birthday today to speak out on ICE and the murder of Renee Nicole Good 🔥….HBD Dave! "Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

“the central divide is not left and right; it’s people who are mean to me and make me uncomfortable vs people who are nice to me and make me feel good. i am a serious intellectual btw.”

I am a middle-aged, respectably-groomed white woman. In organizing utterly normie protests, I have myself witnessed cops automatically interacting with the Very Tall guy who was with us instead of me or my other female co-organizers.

US vetoes most Ethiopian athletes for the World Crosscountry Championships in Florida by denying their visas. Ethiopia will be unable to record a team result in either the U20 men’s or U20 women’s races, ending its 44-year medal streak. I’m sure the Olympics and World Cup are going to be fine. 😡

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Ex-Mississippi welfare chief John Davis confessed to WWE wrestlers Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase that he "tried to buy your love" as he sent millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to The Million Dollar Man's sons. While denying 99% of poor families who applied.

an american city is fully under siege by an occupying army that is supposedly an arm of its own government that army has already shot someone dead and is repeatedly threatening to do the same to anyone upset about its actions intolerable situation

This is just the latest in the unfolding saga of the Mississippi welfare scandal. John Davis also directed millions to Brett Favre, including to build a volleyball stadium at USM (where his daughter was a volleyball player at the time) and to a drug company Favre was heavily invested in.

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.
