Woah. Watch for the latter part, where the ICE asshole confronts the person filming. They’re openly using Good’s murder as a threat to everyday people — esp. women. Solid evidence that the Trump admin’s immediate tribal support for her killer has emboldened & amped up the ICE goons.

the predator does not win when the prey escapes

Solomon providing a public service in this thread, for those of us too lazy to leave the house today.

This story is WILD! A welfare chief w a bizarre love obsession of two WWE wrestler brothers. Millions of govt $ misused. Drugs & self-help fixations & a lot of Jesus-talk. (And of course the Trump admin. isn’t going ham on Mississippi for this massive fraud, because they’re Republican.)

It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

Good to see this take at a significant news outlet. Should be covered by every major outlet. And the press should always approach the Trump administration from a place of skepticism, because they’ve proven that aren’t trustworthy.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

When the *Wall Street Journal* is reporting this as an ICE “playbook”, it’s a good sign that the already slim support for ICE is greatly shrinking.

from our former mayor RT Rybak who is very much NOT known for being radical or using hyperbole:

As a long-time NYer, I’ve always wanted to do something like this! (But I’m a vegetarian, so it can be a little tricky, since many countries’ most common dishes aren’t veggie.)

Watching this has me shaking. (As @kendrawrites.com noted in her posts about this video, the woman later said that the DoorDasher is now somewhere safe, but ICE grabbed up her husband, which is why she fled into her house.)

For every Proud Boy & Insurrectionist that’s getting hired by ICE, there’s a bunch of former prison workers getting hired by ICE. (And, presumably, some are one & the same.) We need a much bigger discussion about the monstrous people working in all realms of law enforcement & the carceral system.

Incredible stuff. Keep Minneapolis weird.

If the Trump administration is going to essentially shut down the government to punish individual blue states then perhaps Democrats should shut down the federal government entirely at their next opportunity.

Nutz Deep II keeps its flag at half-mast, to honor the memory of Nutz Deep I.

Maybe things are shifting. Idk. Keep speaking out.

Bet that guy who wrote that they will tell you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears is feeling real fuckin smug right now. Bet he’s calling up some exes.

Guess which part Fox isn't airing. bsky.app/profile/matt...

“DO NOT CONGRATULATE”

Amazing how many people were fired over Kirk for 1/10th of what all these people are saying

it wants some people to feel like that and other people to feel like they could execute someone doing nothing wrong and they'd be heroes

Now both the state AG AND the local DA are investigating the shooting together. Noem’s effort to bluff the FBI into being able to cover this up on its own has failed miserably. Federalism as a sword against the Redeemers.

I’m looking for actions out of Dems, but am glad to see them on the right path with words.

Good, but still not good enough. ICE must be dismantled & all wrongdoers must be prosecuted.

It’s infuriating that we’re being repeatedly traumatized, just day to day. And if we try to block out the traumatic stuff, then we’re uninformed, in greater danger of that which we don’t know, less able to give support to our targeted neighbors, & less educated participants in society & democracy.

IMO it’s both. They lie/delude, to justify the killing & exonerate the shooter, because tribalism puts him “on their side”, & because they want violent abuse of power to continue. And they justify the killing by emphasizing that the victim/her wife are “on the wrong side” just for who they are.

sorry just gotta point out 'Alpha News' is the name of Ed Norton's Fox-ish cable channel in The Glass Onion, a key plot point of which is gaslighting everyone about a murder he commits in full view of them.

A good summation of Stephen Miller’s ideology.

Wait, we can kill people for harassment now? Do the men know this?

This kind of overt, vitriolic, violent misogyny would be unwelcome at almost any place of employment. Absolutely grounds for firing. But it’s a common aspect amongst law enforcement.

I promised you some good news after a bleak week. Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about. It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home. radleybalko.substack.com/p/after-35-y...

This is the maddest he’s gotten since that episode of TNG where everyone has to dress like Robin Hood

Coloradans, please call your weak-ass governor & give him hell.

Incredibly satisfying heckling. Love when Minnesotans weaponize their “niceness”, by withholding it from the absolute worst people.

I love passing this bridge and realizing that if a whole city can be this petty, I am not holding onto too many grudges.

It’d be great if the BlueSky iOS app would stop asking me “Are you writing in English?” every 5 seconds. What is the point of this incredibly annoying popup?? @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

He’s either going to install her as Venezuelan President for this, or take the award & then tell her to kick rocks for not giving it to him the moment it was awarded to her.

A really beautiful statement. Worth the 2 minute read.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

This is good, I suppose, but surely Congress can do more to go after Musk & his tech companies, for the crimes of generating, platforming, & monetizing CSAM. They’ve done so little to create actually effective laws/regulations of tech/social media, & let the horse out of the barn long ago.

Should’ve been prosecuted as well.

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

These comments are about Iran, & as much as he is wildly tone-deaf, hypocritical, & willfully unaware of the similarities in the US, he also gets off on getting a total pass on his hypocrisy.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

Their lawyers are saying it was a "law enforcement operation" to execute and arrest warrant. But Trump admits it was an attack to "take over" a whole country. The level of lying to Congress here puts Iraqi WMD to shame.
