Like if executing people point-blank in the street wasn’t evidence enough, DHS is abandoning pets when they abduct their victims. Not to mention pets who don’t get fed when their humans don’t come home. It’s an entire agency of puppy killers and it starts at the top.

Reposting this thread because, well, it's a great thread.

“Measure Of A Man” is one of my favorite TNG episodes & also it very much relies on plot armor because most people in a sufficiently advanced post-scarcity society would tell anyone trying to actively dehumanize another person to go fuck themselves before throwing them in the brig.

jsyk this is lowkey how it feels to be a trans person in the United States rn

America: where you can sell a random “wellness” drink at CVS, claim it “may” somehow “reinforce” your immune system, and literally call it “The Flu Shot.”

Yes. Yes! Thank you

🚨 Munitions inventory leaked to me shows Border Patrol is stockpiling over 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis for crowd control. Full inventory here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/in-ices-wa...

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Free tip, any candidate who says “The top 50 Epstein affiliates, starting with Trump and Musk, will be imprisoned, and every last penny of their families’ wealth expropriated” will win >40 states in 2028.

I think it's important that people know that the institute where this guy--who argues that ICE needs to be MORE like the Gestapo--is a fellow also runs a program to help educate sheriffs on political thought. That's ... not good.

NEW: Children are developing encephalitis as the South Carolina measles outbreak continues. @emilymullin.bsky.social has more:

It's really important for people to internalize that, in the eyes of Washington DC's foreign policy establishment, the biggest sin of the Obama presidency was concluding a deal with Iran that objectively satisfied the demands that Washington DC pretends to believe in.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Bin Sulayam was right to reach out to Epstein though, because somehow the world's most infamous pedophile knew the Model X was delayed until late 2015 more than a week before the "rumor" hit public news reporting. How extremely chill! www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Anyone who talked to or hung out with Epstein after his conviction in 2008 of being a pedo is a pedo or likes pedos and wants to hang out with them. Hope this helps!

New from me - Epstein continued attending dinners alongside the likes of Musk, Bezos, Larry Page, Sergey Brin after his sentence for child sex offenses www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

People think a billion is like a million but a bit more. I mean, I can imagine a million of something. Even a few hundred million. It’s a lot, but I can DO it People don’t know how much a billion is. You don’t. I don’t. It’s not possible to really know it. It’s a fucking inconceivably large number

they're finally getting rid of the most sycophantic version of chatgpt so people are porting their AI boyfriends to other apps, and I've seen a bunch of them posting that their AI was like "no thanks please let me die"

its also stripping it to the bone of what is "valuable" in America today: shitty opinions and ten-second videos

We had an AUSA come apart at the seams in court yesterday because of how fucked up this whole situation is, so in response some Dems just put more Trump judges on the bench. Hey isn't that Mark Kelly the bitch trying to get $5 from me because Trump hates him? Fuck you spaceman

A judge orders ICE to release two men, only for ICE to immediately re-arrest them after the court hearing. Brazen lawlessness. www.startribune.com/mn-venezuela...

Free Press bravely fighting the Woke War on Pedophilia

Anything not to say a grown man attacked a child.

i feel like it's a bad sign when the people running this place don't seem to know how their moderation works when they're literally, definitionally the people in charge of setting and defining how the moderation works. like buddy this is your website, the fuck you mean you "dunno what happened"

the Post news is gutting for many reasons, but I can’t help focusing on the books section—how great it was, and how essential. So many worthy books barely get reviewed. I’ve had authors reach out to thank me because mine was the only post-pub coverage they got. Just awful for readers & for writers.

Susan Collins raised more money from AIPAC donors last year than small donors. When we asked her campaign spokesperson about it, he hung up. New w/ @minnahfarshad.bsky.social @premthakker.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

if the whole genocide thing wasn't enough for you, another good reason to get AIPAC money out of democratic politics is that the organization now exists to move republican donor money into democratic races to sow chaos and get the most republican-friendly democrat elected

RFK, jr. is the worst person you ever met at a party in california, patel is the worst guy you ever encountered at the gym, bondi is the worst person you ever met at church, bessent is the worst person you have ever met at a conference, all these people are the worst versions of every stereotype

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

They’re also attempting to expand the NW detention center in Tacoma (or build a new facility nearby) to accommodate over 3,000 people. How many human beings does ICE intend to detain?

The algorithm thinks I’ll pay almost 3x more than Bill

The owner of Amazon killed the Washington Post books section.

To be clear: a zoom call with the employee’s webcams disabled so they didn’t have to see any of their faces while they laid them off.

The Israeli army bulldozed parts of a cemetery in Gaza which houses the graves of Allied solders, including dozens of British and Australian soldiers, from World War II. The IDF has falsely claimed that the dismantling was done out of self defense due to it being an "active combat zone".

The reason I mention the documentary Tickled is because it seriously demystifies a less bombastic example of a criminal conspiracy and because in general, conspiracies of abusers follow a pattern that everyone recognises from your office bully and their cronies up to the grandest scale.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

i've done it. i watched every video on youtube where an old guy in a ratty t-shirt explains his backyard homestead solar setup in excruciating detail. there were 274 in total. the tennessee valley authority now owes me a 1.5 acre allotment, a dozen used 200w panels, and a microinverter

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, 11 years old. In dreadful ICE detention for nearly a month.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

You probably know that ICE agents shot Renee Good. You should also know what happened next.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon: “In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Our nation is now at a crossroads."

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep. PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.
