Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

How hard is this? Where has this been for ten years?

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I wish right-wing women would understand: complicity does not protect you from these men. As long as you smile and nod and go along, sure, they will hide their contempt because you are useful to them. But first time you show any spine, say no? They wish you as dead as the wish liberal women.

The real iron law of US politics is that only progressives are expected to compromise and be pragmatic. Everyone else is permitted to be dogmatic, regardless of the obvious harmful consequences.

There is a threat to Minneapolis so extreme that *every child in the city* has been forced to stay home from school. That threat does not come from immigrants. There has only been one murder in Minneapolis in 2026. It was federal agents' killing of a 37 year-old US citizen/mother in her minivan.

It’s really quite remarkable that Denmark hasn’t shown more appreciation for the US adopting their vaccine schedule by giving us Greenland in return. /s

Happy Hey Taco Bell The Illuminati Is Not A Frivolous Subject Day to all who celebrate!

Mainstream media has legitimised anti-queer hate. Fox ofc but the nyt as well. From Murdoch to Ellison, Weiss to Sulzberger, corporate media has endorsed right wing contempt for queer ppl, women, ppl of color, trans ppl, ppl with disabilities, ppl who back democracy. Contempt for Americans

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper.

It's wild listening to cable news talking heads pretend to believe it's possible the Trump administration is confused about the shooting. No, they're lying. We don't need to bend ourselves into pretzels here. They are always lying.

One agent literally moves to stand in front of the vehicle (she has no other way to move) and two more agents, including the one who shot her, approach the vehicle. Those are not the actions of people who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

She is a liar.

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

WATCH: ICE denies her medical care from a physician after the shooting… (From huff post)

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Black families in Tennessee continue to experience the heartbreak of losing a baby in the first year of life at twice the rate of white families, a stubborn disparity linked to maternal health, preterm births and access to prenatal care, among other factors. From @anitawadhwani.bsky.social.

I've interviewed three witnesses who said they saw an ICE agent shoot and kill motorist in Minneapolis who was observing. We also have video. All witnesses vociferously deny that the woman shot and killed presented a threat to agents. They say she was trying to leave. Homeland Security tweet below:

My initial take on the criminal law governing the ICE shooting in MN: 609.066 of the MN Code controls a self-defense claim for a "peace officer" under state law. I'm not going to consider federal law given the capture of the DOJ by the Trump administration. 1/

Here is the DHS policy (h/t @klasfeldreports.com) www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

👇🎯 Many folks seem to have the inability to hold two thoughts in their head at the same time: 1. Impeachment will only work if enough Republicans in Congress finally do their damn jobs & choose democracy over party 2. Democrats should nonetheless be calling for impeachment loudly & constantly

"This is already the Putin model: authoritarian rule that enables smash-&-grab oligarchy by those in the regime’s good favor. Trump is making it unusually explicit that in this sphere of influence, Trump-approved oligarchs will be enriched by our regional spoils.”

Worth subscribing to @donmoyn.bsky.social for this headline alone.

American here! This is poppycock.

Last year I started keeping a book by my computer so on quick breaks, between calls, etc. I’d try to read a page or two instead of aimlessly scrolling. It was so nice. (I read books other times for longer stretches too, obviously, but this did help me scroll at least a little less.)

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

Extreme contradictions are inherent to MAGA, it encourages people to believe whatever feels best with no critical thinking, even when ideas are incompatible. (Here: “Our country rules, we should conquer Central America,” “Central Americans are criminals, and shouldn’t be part of our country”

Yes, autocorrect. I, Kristine, actually meant to type “Kristen” in that signature field.

Many journos & pundits feel obliged to praise--even as they critique the purpose(s) of the Venezuela war--the competence of the military operation. How does that not make it *worse*? It seems quite bad that we a highly competent, gigantic, overfunded military ready to serve these chaos agents.

As it happens, we got a bill from our pediatrician last month saying our health insurance wouldn’t pay for our kid’s flu shot

So yeah if you want more evidence that Trump’s followers are happy to get fleeced, so long as they can derive vicarious status through his displays of social dominance…

It’s amazing that the “build the wall,” border security party has such a fickle understanding of the concept of sovereignty.

Excellent point here from an expert in international relations. Trump’s brand of authoritarianism is, at its core, an aesthetic. He does not seek to achieve policy goals—he seeks a global reputation for appearing powerful.

Copy Editing Matters, from HHS's release on the new childhood vaccine schedule: All the diseases will still be available to anyone who wants them

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Can we make RFK caregive for an infant with one of these for 48 hrs? Can we start with rotavirus?

Report from Georgia that gives a picture of what’s happening with influenza. Flu hospitalizations 2024: 427 Flu hospitalizations 2025: 1176 Flu deaths 2024: 0 Flu deaths 2025: 27

When power is rooted in disinformation, data become a threat.

Just a reminder that the Confederacy had big plans to expand into Central and South America. Some of its traitors fled to Cuba and elsewhere after losing. White supremacy has always been transnational

Always so helpful in processing *the things* — give them a listen!

Horrifying moment when I just realized I “circled back.”

2+2=5

And here again is what I mean that the Democrats need to design a strategy and implement a tactic. We know in 2026 and 2028, the Republican Party will act in anti-democratic manner, and so, the Party needs to design a strategy that emphasizes democratic localism.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
