embarrass the administration and they will do everything in their power to ruin your life, even if the embarrassment is the result of their own cruel overreach vicious sadistic bullies all the way down

The left very, very loudly said - between 2016 and 2022 - that inflationary policy was OK so long as it was in service of increased social welfare programs. So, the Biden Administration delivered that. In return for this, the left called them out-of-touch on economics and, eventually, genociders.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

I love takes like this because it implies a unified conspiracy but anyone who has spent (5) minutes in complex projects directed by people with no direct subject matter experience knows the truth: These people are fucking dum

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Some people think the danger has passed (though it clearly has not) and so they're free to go back to what they really care about: ensuring they and not their presumed ideological enemies are running the resistance movement.

none of this is true oh my god

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

“In my profession, I have seen many people break down in grief, but that image of Elizabeth’s father will stay with me forever,” she said. “I watched him sit in his car, bury his head in his hands, and cry uncontrollably. Those are images you do not forget.”

All through my teens & 20s I recall being told that it was easy to spot the cops: they were the ones always focused on encouraging others to engage in violence & property Now I come on social media & I'm told that no, actually it's the people encouraging you not to who are really the cops

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

Imagine you're an average resident of Minneapolis trying to strike a war-life balance. You're spending your money donating essential supplies for mutual aid for people who can't leave the house. You tail an ICE vehicle only for it to drive right by your house and point to it. It's a clear threat. 1x

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained body cam footage of the FBI raid on Fulton County's elections hub. In one video, Fulton police and the FBI spar over the search warrant to seize the 2020 ballots. "One way or another, the records are coming with us today," an agent said.

No offense but if anything MN puts the lie to the idea that popular resistance takes a bunch of time and preparation by established activists who are allegedly quietly building goodwill. Mostly I see those people upset that it's succeeding and trying to gatekeep the normal people out of it

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

tomorrow the Trump administration will end the protected status of thousands of Haitian people for literally no reason other than gutter racist drivel these people came here legally, they are being made into illegal immigrants for the purpose of ethnic cleansing

This administration’s treatment of a NATO ally is both incredibly disgraceful and contrary to U.S. national interests.

Unreal. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center, after his flunkies caused mass defections of artists? Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

The ultraliberal "Left" want Stancil dead/arrested for two reasons: 1) they hate him; 2) it will prove that this "libcoded" resistance is ineffective and suicidal, and should be abandoned in favour of their alternative, building an armed cadre party (they will not build an armed cadre party)

These guys are fucking freaks searching for an excuse as to why the Bad Man is still Bad despite very obviously doing Good

very fun to think that there are at least four votes for "the president can unilaterally rewrite a constitutional amendment"

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

I don’t think this is a particularly hot take. As we keep telling a particular federal agency, wearing a mask generally indicates cognizance of guilt and an intent to do something illegal. Protest works best when done confidently and unashamedly

constitutional law knowerers love to go “you know, i don’t agree but the Right and Honorable Gentleman makes an interesting argument” and the argument is, like, “actually the constitution was written on Opposite Day”

what’s astounding about this is not only the incredible cruelty but the complete lack of even the most basic public relations instincts they kidnap a five year old and generate national outrage and rather than do some basic window dressing to treat him nice while abusing everyone else they do this

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

everyone believes that democrats are solely responsible for everything that happens in american politics

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it? They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them. It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it

Gov. Walz calls out federal officials who described Alex Pretti as a 'domestic terrorist.' "Sitting behind a keyboard at 2 a.m. and besmirching a V.A. nurse and a son and a co-worker and a friend is despicable beyond all description."

MAGA ideology is fundamentally, unavoidably invested in the notion that if the shackles of 'woke' and the 'leftist cultural apparatus' ('the cathedral') are thrown off, the 'authentic,' many and powerful MAGA majority will emerge - and so they seek the clarifying spasm of violence to produce that.

These are the most online-poisoned minds I've ever seen. There's no room for altering strategy when every single move is calibrated toward getting likes on X. They can't imagine that others might have different motivations. Just a bunch of highly dangerous children.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

I am past 'retrain ICE.' I am past 'reform ICE.' I am past 'abolish ICE.' I am at 'imprison ICE.'

it's really convenient that ICE is supplying smoke to make this look like an 18th century battleground

Glory to the martyrs who defend the republic

"There are more of us than there are of them" is generally true under any government, but it is especially true in a country where the vast majority of police are state/local beyond federal commandeering, and federal agencies are built for elite specialization, not mass manpower occupying streets.

This is perhaps slightly off-color and a little too "big picture" for a day when something so horrifying has happened, but it is startlingly to me just how over their skis and pushed to the limits the feds are by one medium sized urban area.

they are sending people to Black Beach, in Equitorial Guinea, for third-country detention.

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota. He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
