Though the missile was fired at western Ukraine, the intended target was most definitely the US Navy and Coast Guard. The Venezuela tanker seizures are perhaps the most dangerous feature of global politics today, and I suspect most people haven't registered that yet.

Merely creating, sharing, or even viewing CSAM images are crimes. Even now, Elon Musk hasn't abolished the ability for X users to generate sexualized deepfakes. Why? It generates revenue. IMHO any politician wary of demanding Elon Musk be charged or prosecuted for any of this should step aside.

I just tested this and it's still possible to make the same edits, so they've not disabled it, just hidden from plain sight. I should note the base imagery was AI generated, not photos of real people.

In addition to the sizable diaspora of Venezuelans in Spain, I suspect that PM Pedro Sanchez being born while the Franco dictatorship was in power might have something to do with his staunch refusal to placate Trump on his lawless imperialism.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Thread. DHS, Trump, and Kristi Noem labelling Renee Nicole Good a domestic terrorist was revealing. It tipped their hand as to where things are headed. They've realized that detaining 3k immigrants a day isn't realistic. Filling cells with dissidents, paid agitators and "terrorists" is easier.

It feels like the admin’s defense of Renee Good’s murder creates a self-fulfilling prophecy for future killings: Justifiably scared people attempt to avoid Feds because they see what can happen, their attempt to flee is deliberately mischaracterized as “weaponizing” their vehicle.

Another image that sums up the protest.

It's very brave of Philip Bump to be so vulnerable on air. The onslaught of cruelty and abuse the regime is inflicting on people takes a toll. Renee Nicole Good being murdered in front of her wife was just too much Expect the propagandists on the far-right to ridicule, mock, and shame him for this.

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.

Morally bankrupt doesn't encapsulate how disgusting it is to shovel dirt on Renee Nicole Good not even 24 hours after she had her face blown off by an ICE agent. Even for the Daily Mail, this is low. The, "But was she wearing heels and a skirt when she was assaulted?" energy is overwhelming.

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

Kash Patel's FBI freezing out Minneapolis PD to stash evidence, case materials, and interviews out of sight is nakedly corrupt. They're not hiding the rush to justify Trump and Kristi Noem's premature smearing of Renee Nicole Good as a domestic terrorist and attempted murderer. What a whitewash.

White people have always felt a fraction of what Black people feel. That's the agreement they signed up to. Less safety so Black people have none. Less access to healthcare so Black people have less. Housing insecurity so Black people can't accrue wealth. All to satisfy their desire to erase us.

I hate this. Sadly, the intellectual dishonesty required to churn out bilge like this isn't unique to Brian Stelter. Most of his peers in the press believe platforming and amplifying lies, conspiracy theories, and delusional propagandists is representing both sides of a debate.

Every so often I re-watch this Kimberly Jones speech. You can draw a direct line from ICE agents murdering Renee Nicole Good to the failure to implement institutional reforms in policing, voting rights, the judiciary, and the financial system in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.”

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Solid primer on the Trae Young trade. Considering their short and long-term goals, both sides "won", but I would give the edge to Washington for not dealing a 1RP to get Trae. Atlanta building around Jalen and Dyson is wise. It will be interesting to see if they flip Luke Kennard by the deadline.

There are a bunch of fake pictures of protests among my friend networks on other sites. They are really, obviously AI, but I understand how in all the pressures at the moment you can see it, have a feeling, and hit share. Instead: go to local news. Here’s my outlet I write for. There are others.

Elites have repeatedly demonstrated their craven spinelessness and an eagerness to throw vulnerable groups into the fascist meatgrinder. Their line should have been Haitians "eating the pets", the MSG Nazi rally, or a 100 things since then. Exclusionary country club racism paved the way for this.

The most generous explanation for this is that he's an idiot who just hasn't even bothered to look at how vaccines work. The worst is that he's deliberately spreading misinformation that will put actual lives at risk, in order to please his conspiracy-theory loving base

This is rancid cowardice from Patrick O'Donovan. Any person having the choice to publicly create indecent, pornographic, or abusive images on command is the issue. Minimizing that is intellectually dishonest. Would his stance be the same if creeps used Grok to create CSAM images of his kids? Nope.

Absolutely this.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Kristi Noem won't tell the truth about Renee Nicole Good being murdered by an ICE agent because Trump's mafia state fascist regime is built on racism, lies, and cruelty. Challenging any of that with facts shatters the delusion, and would make her an enemy of the state. #LBC

“I had now no more hesitation about bringing the Jewish problem to light in all its details.” - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p. 36

BREAKING NEWS: The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade for Trae Young, sending CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to the Atlanta Hawks, sources tell The Athletic's David Aldridge and @joshrobbins.bsky.social.

Instant redemption for Quickley. He hit a triple with a defender flying out at him. Raptors win. Scottie Barnes set one hell of a screen to set him up, and RJ Barrett was huge down the stretch.

Oh no. Toronto chose the worst moment imaginable to give up a straight line drive to LaMelo Ball. Quickley cannot get dusted off the dribble like that. Raptors down 94-96 with just 1.6 secondsd left.

For me, it's the blood splatter on the back of the Renee Nicole Good's headrest. I can't fathom how her wife can survive being haunted by that image for the rest of her life. Gunshots at such close range are barbaric.

Bobby Webster needs to do whatever it takes to get Quickley off the Raptors roster. He's an unreliable shooter that can't defend and has middling playmaking chops. LaMelo would be such a step up. His defense is an issue, but that's down to effort. At 6'7", he's long enough to be very disruptive.

IMHO, they have ~24 hours to arrest the ICE agent before slimy horserace coverage of Renee Good's murder gains more momentum. The usual suspects are gearing up to legitimize and contrast manipulated videos floating around on X with what actually happened-- which will enrage Minnesotans even more.

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.

New: DHS is lying to you. At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis. Shots clearly fired while vehicle already turning away from the officer. But DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. Even judges have catalogued DHS' serial lying www.404media.co/dhs-is-lying...

I won't say the title race is over. Until Arsenal can mathematically eliminate anyone from overtaking them, it isn't. But if they stretch their lead to 8 points with a win against Liverpool tomorrow, doubt and anxiety will creep into the Man City camp in light of their injuries.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Ken Jennings has zero fucks to give, and I'm here for it. I expect to see blanket federal pardons for CBP and ICE agents when this nightmare eventually ends, so state AG's need to be ready with state charges. No excuses, no deals, and no "it's time to heal" rhetoric. They need to face consequences.

What the actual fuck is this? "Do you believe me, or your lying eyes" doesn't scratch the surface of how cartoonishly evil this statement is. He doesn't care that ICE murdered someone. DHS has their narrative and they're running with it, facts and video evidence refuting their claims be damned.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

DHS smearing the driver as a domestic terrorist trying to ram the ICE agent was such an outrageous lie. The press is fond of saying that "Trump has never been accused of a crime" re: Epstein. They need to preface every DHS statement with proof of how often they've been caught lying to protect ICE.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

This is exactly how Democrats need to respond to this moment. Have the DA bring charges against everyone involved as well. Stop posturing and do something.

Full credit to Jacob Frey for meeting the moment in this presser. Clearly, he's pissed as hell. He just said, "To ICE: get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

Fucking hell. TW: this angle of the ICE agent shooting the driver in Minneapolis is even worse. This is murder. His life wasn't in danger like DHS is claiming. He shot her 3 times because he wanted to. Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota, needs to throw murder charges at him.

If the talking points seem familiar, it's because police departments use the same script when cops kill unarmed Black men. "The ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots". Except there's video. DHS is lying.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

Holy shit. An ICE agent just shot and killed someone driving away in broad daylight in Minneapolis. We're about to hear, "The agent feared for his life" ad nauseum despite the vehicle clearly driving away from him. The chryon is already running on CNN.

Stand up, Minneapolis. Keeping the pressure up on ICE agents is more important now than ever. They'll threaten, lie, gaslight, and throw up every smokescreen imaginable after what happened today. It's not enough to abolish ICE. State AG's need to start throwing charges at them. Enough is enough.
