Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Those shirts sure are brown.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

2 DEAD IN MINNESOTA Tin soldiers and Trump is coming We're finally on our own This winter I hear the drumming Two dead in Minnesota Gotta get down to it, icemen are cutting us down Should have been gone long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground How can you run when you know?

can you imagine being the federal agent assigned to bluesky, just getting scolded by deep space nine experts while all your buddies get like challenge coins

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

I shall patiently wait for the NRA to release a statement condemning this murder

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

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

this was never a prediction, this was just a literal reading of the strategy they openly articulated in public places where anyone can see it the only reason this hasn’t been done before is that usually the American people don’t elect someone who promises to bring chaos and lawlessness

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

Days since paramilitaries acting under the orders of our wannabe dictator have killed an American citizen: 0

Dead checking is a war crime. Just FYI. Dead checking unarmed people who are busy drowning? Probably doubly so.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

This lobster loves America! (And hates fascism)* *It’s my wife.

Watching NCCA football on a Friday night (because I have a bug and I'm keeping away from Celeste) and the announcer just called a catch a "Leroy Jenkins" play. I don't know if Cal will hold on, but the geeks just won.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

It's super on-brand that people like Hegseth love the Spartans, who were artless, slave-keeping, murderous fascists despised by pretty much EVERYONE, but they never talk about how the Spartans were ultimately defeated by a heroic army of... let me double-check my notes... yep... gay democrats.

DEEP SPACE NINE "The Wire" Written by @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Hey ChatGPT, is it good or bad that they're so fucking dumb?

There we are.

Yay! Rain.

"Breach" by Twenty One Pilots is terrific. I kinda prefer the interpretation of "City Walls" that I painted in my head for how the story ends as opposed to the MV, but YMMV. "Drum Show" is a stand-out. "Cottonwood" makes me cry. That's my album review.

Really enjoyed SUPERMAN. I thought it did a great job capturing the essential goodness of the character while still making him interesting. Some wonderful filmmaking as well. The Mr. Terrific action sequence was a standout but lots of beautiful moments.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner did a guest role for us on "The Irrational." It was during the WGA strike, so there was no writer on set, but I later heard from the cast and crew how lovely he was. He turned in a terrific performance and helped make it one of our best episodes. What a horrible tragedy. RIP.

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles

This is really well described, and since it’s REALLY important these days (trade deficits, tariffs, trade wars and how stupid Trump and his people are about the economy), you should definitely watch it, and definitely share it. Every single repost does some real good.

Look, to be fair to Dean Cain, he's not the dumbest, bootlickingest, most wrong-headed actor I've ever written for...

Just a reminder that JOHNNY CASH released his take on "The Gambler" (written by Don Schlitz) months before Kenny Rogers' did his. It made no splash at all. Rogers' version is one of most beloved country songs ever and was a crossover smash. In the arts, sometimes success is random as lightning.

Five things to remember about war:

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

From the Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers, published in 1996. The reviewer didn't think the state of the United States in 2024 as shown in the episode Past Tense, Part 1 was believable. Sounds like @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social and Ira Steven Behr were pretty close....

These are the only monarchs we love in California. #NoKings

So… as an Army brat, I saw lots of military parades growing up. And here’s the thing… military parades are cool for like 15 minutes and after that… not so much. Not enough bands and gear is gear and there are no floats. Which FauxKing would have known if he weren’t a draft dodging coward.

In other news today, the TACO king’s administration dropped pursuing undocumented workers in agriculture and hospitality, the two largest employers of same, because his rich backers were upset about losing their exploited workers, surprising… no one.

Lap dogs gonna lap dog.
