43-year-old Keith Porter was celebrating New Year's Eve in the Northridge neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, when he was approached by an unidentified man with a gun. The exact details of what occurred remain unclear as the investigation continues to unfold.

one of the biggest things i learned from 2020 is that times of great upheaval present brief moments where anything appears possible. as soon as those moment appear, opportunist centrists will immediately begin to dilute the movement’s demands to pablum. this is that moment

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

Walz needs to send in the National Guard yesterday.

i do not think trying to prosecute renee good’s widow and friends will be successful for the administration but i do think it will be another nail in the coffin of the DOJ’s presumption of good faith in the courts

my anti-doomer take is that there are three years of this left

thinking people being randomly taken off the streets might be a kitchen table issue.

You are trying to explain why it is bad to kill people to folks who are fine with 13 year old girls being raped.

The only ethical billionaire

The moral gap between MacKenzie Scott and her ex has become the Grand Canyon. This is how you make a better America.

I genuinely think it is as simple as 'there are a lot of Americans who are of the right age to have been taught to read using the three-cueing system'.

One argument I find grating re: movie stuff is “Why do you even care about this?” Dude. They’re movies. They’re trivial by nature, with obvious exceptions. None of this technically matters, the discussion is part of the hobby.

the thing to remember about all our stretch goals - Abolish ICE/DHS, court expansion, Nuremburg 2.0, etc. - is that even if we win the senate in what would still be an upset, none of it is actionable u til 2029. hell, Democrats aren't even motivated to be *honest* until 2028.

These fucking Feds

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

if she retires there may actually be a neither Nazi Tattoo Guy nor Filibuster Defender option

Pete Hegseth could have lived out his life on the sinecure of a perpetually toasted second-tier Fox News host but instead he decided to publicly implicate himself in multiple capital crimes.

Swarming is working. 20 cameras in their face every time they step out of the truck. None of them are having a good time out there.

the worry here is really, really not "martial law," a thing the Trump administration would be forced to a) legally justify b) deploy military units, not the national guard, to enforce

these assholes are going to lose, they will not get their treatlerreich, but it's a terrifying prospect how much damage they are going to do in their death throes

dead on, yeah.

THANK YOU

swing voters are real, here to stay, and gigantic morons

If you're afraid to tell people what your job is, it's probably something that no one should be doing.

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

i think even with all the atrocities of the fascists, nothing is more demotivating and nothing makes me want to disengage from politics more than being inundated with replies from people who do not know how to think about politics beyond “dems good and wanting more from them is bad”

mfs posting "general strike now!" we can't even get you to stop supporting Amazon and Starbucks

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position, or it’s our job to make it the moderate position. Abolition was impossible before it was common sense. Civil rights were impossible before they it became common sense. Abolishing ICE is possible and that's what we should push for.

The cartoonists are doing a great job, documenting the horror that we're experiencing and upping their game.

anyway as i have said many times — and literally just wrote on saturday — i think we should abolish ICE as well as unravel DHS and i welcome elected officials who embrace both outright but i am also aware that any senate majority will contain moderate and conservative democrats who need an on-ramp.

UPDATE: Most Americans are against the Trump regime’s racial terror campaign. migrantinsider.com/p/the-people...

literally how are taiwanese people responsible for the white terror, a thing they overthrew themselves. is france responsible for louis XIV

Allowing ICE to use their stores as staging grounds is the only foot traffic Target has left.

One funny thing is when propagandists for a foreign country are out of date, you see this with the pro-Israel guys who are like “Saudi Arabia is evil and undemocratic!” like Israel isn’t desperately begging for their support right now.

This guy. If there's one thing I will hold modern Star Trek to the fire over, it's Cristobal Rios. YOU HAD YOUR GUY AND YOU LEFT HIM IN THE PAST.

Whenever Greg Bovino shows his bitch face in a room

If anyone can annoy ICE into quitting, it's Will Stancil. Good for him.

“never log off, never surrender” is absolutely the energy we need right now

The number of posts I have deleted without sending today. . .

Keep it up.

I worry that a guy like Zuckerberg is still gambling on a MAGA future. But then again, he renamed his company because he thought we'd all be living in the Metaverse by now, so I'm not sure vision is really his thing.

A moderate Democrat with a federal law enforcement background (he was a fed prosecutor) saying on the record that we may need to abolish ICE and start from scratch seems significant.

WAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHGHHHHH LETS GOOOOO

Hearing many stories now of ICE going to the homes of observers and activists to menace them.

I don't claim to be an expert on East Asian history, but I have seen every Ip Man movie.

An army regiment in any American city of 1,000,000+ population is tactically surrounded, a week away from surrender. It's not winnable: not with armor, not with drones, not with air support. *Any* organized resistance, 1% of the population, decimates that force. ICE isn't close to this.

Capacity and ability to scale is going to be their biggest weakness.

Eat shit motherfucker.
