Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Somewhere in the US, the next Joe Bidens are feeling inspired to run for president in 2028 and we need them to just not.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Pete will bark up the wrong tree if he has to cross a fucking desert to get to it.

“For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty." From Mamdani’s inaugural speech

Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

I would say it answers those questions, not raises them

Minneapolis public schools canceled classes officials after Roosevelt High School said armed Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“A social media and phone surveillance system ICE bought access to is designed to monitor a city neighborhood or block for mobile phones, track the movements of those devices and their owners over time, and follow them from their places of work to home or other locations…”

I am once again begging for a society that is *at minimum* more kind and compassionate than it is punitive and violent, and for leaders and institutions that reflect this.

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon. The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

From the men who brought us, “Coercion is good, actually,” and were never held accountable for it.

I’m usually at a moderate level of annoyance with the NYT but this is fucking outrageous. The US president doesn’t get to fucking pick another country’s leader, & headlines shouldn’t present it as just a normal decision, like picking a nominee for a mid-level federal agency. It’s not our colony!

If you have to remind people “we are the good guys” that’s a pretty good sign you’ve stopped doing good guy stuff

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

One thing I feel like I'm not seeing mentioned enough is that the entire world needs this oil to stay in the ground, not be extracted and burned by a powermad colonial empire, further polluting the ecosphere and exacerbating the climate crisis, thus ensuring even more needless death and suffering.

I said this to a friend yesterday and will repeat it here. A lot of people are going to be hyper-focused on elections this year but if that's not your ministry, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HYPER-FOCUS there. There's so much other organizing work to do. You can focus your energies and attention there.

Who’s got the one minute political sociology primer video explaining power, authority, legitimacy, and violence?

found the new CBS mission statement.

Two ACC Commissioners appear on a podcast and say APS sued them and AZ Supreme Court ruled for APS. Turns out the case never got to AZ Supreme Court because the ACC settled with APS and left consumer advocates out of negotiations for the deal. 🤡🤡🤡 youtu.be/UohwNYb1oIQ

Fuck your decorum and fuck your civility if they're in the service of cruelty and betraying your constituents. We're not taking this shit anymore. Thanks, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Fiiiiiiiiine

Zohran's speech is likely going to say what he's been saying for weeks. The policies promised will only be won if New Yorkers make them happen. If you want to see universal childcare come to pass, then you have to MAKE ALBANY DO IT. Folks are organizing NOW. Anyone can join them.

Oh no it’s Bread and Roses time, now I totally lose it.

This speech by Jumaane Williams, New York’s Public Advocate, is truly incredible. It’s hard to combine honesty and hope and he’s doing it so well!

To serve Beale Infrastructure's Project Blue data center, TEP will be leaving some of their utility customers. Which ones, and will those companies' customers see their rates go up? From the 12/3 Arizona Corporation Commission meeting where they passed the agreement between TEP and Beale.

Grieving Sekar in my own little corner of time and place with everyone else who knew him. A giant raindrop in our ocean, whose ripples will make themselves felt through so many unknown ways. I didn't thank him for keeping the UFW sticker on that guitar.

Hey Marana, the developer is really proud that their proposed hyperscale data centers will use less water on site than what those 600 acres are currently used for, which is [checks notes]... agriculture. youtube.com/shorts/EWBsC...

The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl at Casino Del Sol Stadium.

btw, their claim is misleading about OVERALL water use, because our electric companies rely on fracked gas for their mix. More demand for fracked gas energy means more water used in the fracking, and more water used to generate steam for the fracked gas plants. Energy and water can't be separated.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Our officials need to listen to experts like Jackie, who can clearly explain how the proliferation of hyperscale data centers is built on debt, how they're unsustainable, and what it means to her as a Marana resident who wants continue living here. From the Marana Planning Commission meeting 12/10

watching my favorite christmas movie and what is possibly the great american comedy about class and race

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Marana Town Council will vote on 1/6 on whether or not to approve 600 acres for hyperscale data centers. Despite overwhelming opposition, on 12/10 the planning commission voted unanimously to recommend it. Here are just a few of the Marana residents who took time out of their evenings to say no.

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

white nationalists don’t care about your caste status lol

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

From @humanrightswatch — This is what CBS News(Max) chief @bariweiss just yanked an @60Minutes segment about to please Trump. www.hrw.org/report/2025/...

Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story: The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

Wait what
