Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

This may be the single greatest video in the history of YouTube.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

God damn is this powerful. Preach.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

The nurses are pissed

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Mood in minneapolis right now

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

If you want to help. I figure 100 bucks now is a lot cheaper than however much it might cost me to hide a Burmese family in my basement down the road.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

I think it's best for my mental health to stay the hell away from the internet today. But, now and forever, fuck ICE

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

A hopeful thread if you need a little hope right now.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Hammer Down

Love to see it….tourists that are stuck in Jamaica are helping with the cleanup after Hurricane Melissa 💪

Like, have you ever seen an extremely heated discussion about "are you an [x] or not?" in which x is not only not defined, but both parties refuse to define it. And if it were defined, little argument would be possible. I find this somewhere between deeply mysterious and incredibly dull.

Great news!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Who could have possibly predicted this?!?!

🚨 "Let's agree to disagree" is destroying relationships. Communications professor Lisa Pavia-Higel from Missouri University of Science and Technology explains why this phrase hurts and what you can do instead.

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

The dream interpretation story of Genesis 41 doesn't really make Joseph appear blessed with divine powers of interpretation, so much as it makes Pharaoh and his soothsayers seem daft. The symbolism isn't exactly deep and layered here, guys.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Is this real? Where is the ball pit?

This is how I've felt for a while regarding politics. It isn't so much the outcomes of elections (though it's that too), it's the utter disillusionment. The optimistic kid in me who thought everyone had a baseline decency level has died.

Unilaterally starting an illegal war without congressional approval has to be grounds for impeachment right? Not that an impeachable offense would be new...

Man I love this #Pacers team.

Please watch this video from Hank. youtu.be/9ChIo3Ubdbo?...

I've just e-mailed Senator Todd Young and called his office. If you live in Indiana and care about what is happening, I would ask you to please do the same. Senator Young is one of a handful of republicans in congress who puts his oath to the constitution before his loyalty to his party or president

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

If you silence free speech and trample the Constitution, you’re the lawless one. “Just obeying orders” is not a defense.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

New video, old interview: This is a talk where I took a different approach due to Gene expressing a concern about how his life would be different if his belief changed. If you watch it and have any feedback for me, I would appreciate it. youtu.be/1FpibFcR1DU

I am not a philosopher, but here is an argument for moral realism: P1) Sentient creatures exist. P2) Sentient creatures can experience pain and suffering P3) The actions of Sapient agents can lead to an increase or decrease in the pain and suffering of sentient creatures. 1/

Damn. This is powerful.

Things you don't want to fuck with: 1) Silverback Gorillas 2) Cornered Rattlesnakes 3) Pacers down big in the 4th

I wish them both the worst.

We live in a dystopia.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

This #pacers playoff run just gets crazier and crazier.
