It is quite an achievement to be such a screw up that you're sitting pretty as a gun toting fed in the Trump admin and you get caught in an O'Keefe honeypot sting.

Trump’s attack on Fed already starting to backfire. Republican Sen. Tillis: “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”

Never underestimate the power of people lying themselves so they don’t have to look at what they really have convinced themselves they support. Material interests applying to yourself is a physiological shock most people dodge.

"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at. Look out for @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social!

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production

I am sorry but I am sick of this kind of question. “I speak for the working class and the working class can’t understand difficult terms, also what do you.” Labor work will never be a YouTube show.

The two people ICE shot and left on the street in Portland, they didn’t even bother arresting. Why is that? What do they claim today: “terrorists.” Terrorists so dangerous they left them at the scene, unarrested.

So Tucker’s Venezuela talk was a shell game

If NATO and US talk on Greenland is serious

The whole recent dynamic of consumer-facing businesses that exist due to capturing a large % of rich consumer spending and then offer some capacity and a worse experience to non-rich consumers leads to a lot of societal tension.

The days of lead paint and the night of long sporks. Sad.

If this becomes a giant lawsuit, "Donald J Trump should be allowed to rule over us like a syphilitic Mad King" versus "predatory lenders should be allowed to fuck over the little guy at every turn" is possibly the only way you could get Samuel Alito to understand why Sophie's Choice was a tragedy

Kurds got betrayed again seems to be something I say every year and a half.

Thanks to @nico-encounter.bsky.social for these charts

Something that needs to be elevated is that ICE agents have been instructed to threaten and illegally detain legal observers. It's a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their 1st & 4th amendment rights. Renee Good isn't the only victim ICE has targeted and won't be the last.

I take it back, I was too nice when I called Jacobon Girondin and then Orleanist magazine. Perhaps they should rename themselves Bonaparte.

What would cause people to finally make a “dirty break” from these people

I am unbelievably pissed off today. I can’t write or focus l am so angry

We would be talking more about Iran if the world wasn’t on fire.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

If you think the elections in November are going to fix this you are delusional. Every year, regardless of leadership, ICE’s budget went up, every year our borders became more violent. This is an escalation yes, but a chapter of a much longer novel.

Meanwhile in the land of bankers... www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/08/n...

BREAKING: Once again ICE agents have shot at a moving vehicle contrary to their SOPs. At this point one feels like any person on American soil could be forgiven for being terrified of ICE agents and wanting to get away from them as quickly as possible.

I mean.. yes? Grok has been generating CSAM for months and nothing has happened. That does not occur unless Elon is okay with it.

To paraphrase a friend: Identification with the ruling elite, any of them, doesn’t make you one of them. So many politicos without office or power of all stripes only want others to learn this. They think they are special. Generally they aren’t.

Going into suburbs to mass urban deportations? Or Portland, but not actual border states? Portland is literally the whitest metro area in the US. It’s theater of cruelty. Little else. It doesn’t even make sense on its own terms.

Just nullifying laws aimed at the executive by fiat now: thehill.com/homenews/adm...

The world's richest man has a nontrivial & growing portion of his wealth tied up in a company that creates deepfakes & CSAM. Publicly.

For all the attempts of recuperation of former Nazis like Heidegger and Schmitt, I find it interesting that people ignore Werner Sombert who had a Marxist period and even had a explanation of settlerism as stalling the development of a proletariat in the US. But Sombert/1
