A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

one day, citizens of the entire world will stop looking at their countries and lives to debate whether they are “winning or not”. today is not that day.

I just told my mom Noem might be getting fired. These are her quotes: "If she does, I'm throwing a party" "a puppy party" "what a B word she is"

Australian PM Anthony Albanese announced that PM Mark Carney will address Australia’s Parliament in March, explicitly backing Carney’s Davos warning that the rules-based global order is ending and that middle powers must act together. 🇨🇦-🇦🇺 That’s not just applause — it’s diplomatic follow-through.

In order to identify HC tear gas, there are three characteristics, according to an expert: • An intense orange-colored, metallic fire coming from the canister as it’s burning. • Fire that emits sparks and burns considerably hotter and longer than other grenades. • A white, gray or black smoke.

This "new" look at the 2nd amendment isn't actually new. Cops have been killing people simply for possessing a gun in greater and greater numbers over the last several decades. And to add insult to injury, cop organizations and the courts have been giving them a pass for just as long.

I think it's more like having mold. You want to fight it, sure, but it also exists because the conditions that created the mold exist. Conditions that you need to fix, otherwise the mold will keep coming back.

Odesa - massive Russian attack injuring 22 people

👀 thank you to all who continue to show up and protest 🇺🇸 this is a great start— it shows the pressure is working, but the job ain't done yet… this is hardly the first quarter. remember to celebrate the small wins along the way to pick each other up, take a breath, and keep going. y'all got this.

This is an important article. The Atlantic and all the others need to drop these paywalls. People are risking their lives in Minnesota to document the savagery of ICE. The media needs to risk something, too. @theatlantic.com @cwarzel.bsky.social

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

one very good reason to switch to a vegan or vegetarian diet: our planet.

That’s beautiful. Let’s please get some eyes on Keith Porter’s GoFundMe now, which has only generated around $100k in comparison. He was a father of two. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

It would be amazing if you could amplify the GoFundMe’s for the other Black and Brown people who havent even seen a fraction of support. Here is a thread bsky.app/profile/last...

🧵Stephen Miller is not the Goebbels of the Trump regime. He is Julius Streicher, the sadistic, violent, Jew-hating publisher of Der Stürmer. Goebbels was the mastermind of state propaganda, while Streicher acted as the "dirty worker" of antisemitic hate.

“With appearances on Fox & Friends and many mostly far-right U.S. and Canadian podcasts, larger-than-life lawyer Jeffrey Rath has emerged as the cowboy-hatted figurehead for the Alberta Prosperity Project, or APP.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Today feels like an appropriate day to share this #CBC (Canada’s public broadcaster) "Front Burner" podcast on Stephen Miller. The podcast takes a deep dive into his record and insane worldview, including his own words on torture. Episode description ⬇️. Podcast will also be available on YT.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I’m hosting a gun safety class at a local range geared towards disarming and dis-assembling weapons. Too many people think it is shooting or nothing; guns exist in our communities and we need to know how to safely neutralize them.

What was done to protect the Target employees that were dragged from a Target, battered and dumped in a parking lot? Target has totally lost the trust and goodwill of their customers, and I would suspect, from workers as well.

was wondering which MLB player was going to be first.

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

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.

When will 🇺🇸 leadership see it has reached a grim point in history—when a Good Samaritan like Pretti is executed and labelled a domestic terrorist without zero evidence? He was anything but. The free world is watching the atrocities with revulsion. Cc: 🇨🇦 editorial cartoonist @deadder.bsky.social

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

'buy our stuff or we'll violate your sovereignty and threaten you with military' can't imagine why the world is beginning to openly despise usa

you could trick people into thinking this is a cut scene from the handmaids tale. same costumes. same torture. same objective. same evil.

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

the wild thing about being an ex-baseball fan a few years removed is that most headlining names are foreign to me, but this headline sends me right back to 2015.

DHS can and will never be run by a Sicko fan.

Merz on Minnesota: I assume that the American authorities will now really clarify whether it was necessary to shoot here, whether there really was a threat to the officers involved. In any case, I have to say I find this level of use of violence in the USA worrying, to put it that way.

BREAKING: DHS says federal agents had body cameras on during the shooting of Alex Pretti. RELEASE THEM NOW ALONG WITH THE AGENTS NAMES. Who agrees?

“Air Force veteran, who was Alex Pretti's patient 2 weeks ago, recalls how the nurse ‘comforted' and ‘helped' him. "'I'm saddened to the deepest part of my heart,’ veteran Sonny Fouts, 71, tells @people.com of Pretti's death.” people.com/alex-pretti-...

Margolis & Cox published a cartoon about the Clintons. I edited it for clarity.

Minnesota National Guard on why they’re giving out coffee and donuts: “It’s a demonstration of safety and security. We’re here to help.” 🥹

No. They are not planning to ever relinquish power. It's the Putinisation of America.

#GVerse #Attention Reporter: ''So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?'' JD Vance: ''Yes'' Reporter: ''Ok, I'm just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6th''

just a reminder to all (mostly 🇺🇸): no matter how much you lash out at other citizens of the world, it won’t change the fact that ICE trains with the IDF. don’t like it? do something about it instead of throwing abuse at those telling the truth. be better than that.

So far, ice from the winter storm has killed fewer Americans than ICE from the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
