school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

This machine stops fascists.

Twitter poisoning. Became part of the background consensus required to exist in that social environment and everyone began believing it despite it simply not being a thing that happened. Same way medieval people believed in demons and witches.

wow, and I thought Weiss was very concerned about proper sourcing and attribution. what a shock.

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.

it's kind of funny that you can slowly see this site a/b test its way into being a more usable version of pre-musk twitter

Eddington is not a good movie it's just Ready Player One for people who were terminally online in July of 2020

“We’ve been begging for something like DOGE for decades, I’m so excited it is happening,” Gov. Spencer Cox said in May. Tonight I learned the Utah version, GRIT, is aiming to destroy the POPS program, dealing a terrible blow to the Springville Museum of Art and other museums throughout the state.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

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.

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot

At long last, we have created the tyrannical king from the classic declaration

“No, I won’t be eating my vegetables” [scariest face I can muster]

putting this into the public record: This is the third time I've seen a witness recounting Ice trying to silence observers by citing the death of Renee Good as a warning to us all: 'that's why this lesbian bitch is dead'

Trump’s fundraisers asked Microsoft for its White House ballroom donation

Japanese posts have doubled in the past two weeks. I assume it's due to the Twitter AI images harassment issue.

I hope conservatives are feeling really uncomfortable in church today

LMAO at conservatives who pissed themselves over covid precautions who are now totally fine with masked agents of the state executing random moms in the streets

JD Vance Claims Renée Good Had No Authority To Be Alive In First Place

Tourism to America is going to collapse

Few people have managed to consistently astonish me with how evil they are as JD Vance. Every day a new low. Alls I can say is I’m just glad he’s not from Appalachia.

Per the misleading headline/article discourse thats happening this morning, very impt to understand that *a lot* of political reporters are happy participants in this bc, at a minimum, this is a fun game to them, but much more frequently bc they like Republicans and want them to win

40% of Bluesky have been contestants on Jeopardy making us a very smart website but all of them came in third so its not like that impressive

i think standing too close to ICE is what has been getting people killed

We’re living in an American reign of terror and the media is committed to hiding it, because it’s much more comfortable pretending it’s just 2015 forever.

Yeah they roll in 20 strong, wave guns around, pick fights, maybe grab a person, and then race off. It’s like the personal army of some lawless warlord

They are evil, but more than that, they are very stupid. They can only condemn themselves

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good

I feel like this korean/japnese girl groups get a little absurd when they have like 6+ members. Surely you can not meaningfully interact as a fan with the members of a musical group with enough members to assault a machine gun nest.

Good time to follow Bellingcat, which has done crucial, dependable evidentiary work for many years

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

My whole life I've always understood that there's a large stupid constituency that votes Republican. I hadn't really understood or I've been in denial about how large the Republican psychopath constituency is

This image goes HARD

Renee Nicole Good's former neighbor: "She is not a terrorist, not an extremist. That was just a mom who loved her kids, loved her spouse."

My dude one-hands the whole shooting because he’s got his phone recording in his left hand the whole time. Never even moves to drop his phone to put a second hand on his pistol BECAUSE HE IS A CONTENT FARMER, NOT A TRAINED LEO.

voters contain multitudes (BLM wearing Trump voting interview)

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

just had my first major real-life encounter with an ICE convoy and the sheer creepiness of a bunch of men in masks rolling through your community hard to convey in texts. they have half the city on their tail at all times at least

CBS is state propaganda

Too many psychopaths in this nation. There needs to be an empathy curriculum in schools.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

One thing I didn't expect from authoritarian regimes is how many ordinary citizens get vicarious enjoyment from watching state goons brutalize people. This isn't really depicted in media. Like when the cop in Half Life says "pick up that can" I didn't imagine millions of low-lifes watching with glee

Who will be the first member of Congress to introduce legislation named after Renee Good that abolishes DHS?

The glove compartment of the woman killed by ICE was filled with stuffed animals.

the front passenger's seat and glove compartment are filled with a little kid's stuffed animals. i am shaking with anger

1863 engraving of the execution of Confederate Spies

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
