I'm going to say a couple of things about Alex Pretti's handgun, that I don't think people who do not shoot will initially understand. This photo was almost immediately distributed by the feds. I think that doing so was, for them and their attempt to whitewash the murder, a *huge* error.

The only problems are organizers who use Signal like how folks wore non-sealing surgical masks over their chins during the airborne pandemic and thought it made them safe. Encryption works; adding everyone you know to an encrypted chat and sending them links to Google Docs is still leaky as fuck.

"...we maintain this weird double standard: Soldiers in combat zones must refuse unlawful orders, but civilians facing unlawful force from domestic law enforcement must submit." publicseminar.org/2026/01/the-...

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

it says above that "witnesses" have been transported to the Whipple Building. So they've detained witnesses?? And taken them to the building where they're taking people they've snatched off the streets?? Witnesses need medical and emotional care, not detainment.

Clergy are being arrested in Minnesota for peacefully protesting - 1/23/2026

Great distinction. Observers on the ground are bearing witness so we all know what's happening. Posters obsessing over watching atrocity videos are just self-harming.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

This point really needs to be stressed. Jeffries deliberately leaked to the press that he wasn't whipping votes against ICE funding. The Democratic Party position is that this bill should go through, it's not just the view of the 7 people who voted yes.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Important new tactics in Minnesota 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Looked into TJ a bit and he’s a snowboarding bro who used to post Ron Paul memes and then later memes about BLM, and now Elon and Trump destroying American, what voter type is this

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

Texas A&M says PLATO may be gender or race ideology I mean, they are so close to getting the criticisms of the western canon 😹 dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t...

Isn’t it wild when you realise the news can straight up just be lying to you?

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

All I’ve been able to say about the news this morning is “What the fuck???” on repeat

Definitely important to talk about the csam happening on Twitter, but please also keep in mind that racists are also using Grok to plan lynchings of Black people.

Why isn't there more shouting about this? This is the USPS undermining mail-in ballots. They find every opportunity to subvert voting and democracy. Ballots, tax returns and other important mail may not get postmarked the day you turn it in, USPS warns www.cnn.com/2025/12/31/p...

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

"The president of the United States is a pedophile who can't stop bleeding" sounds like something you'd tell your kid to keep them away if you lived on the border

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

theyre storming kindergartens because there was literally no price to pay for calling in bomb threats to children’s hospitals in 2023…its only upside for them

One of the best to ever do it

who up shuckin their oyster (and by oyster, let’s jusr say, the world)

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

The ol family business

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

2/2 not unlike in the 1920s after the 1918 influenza pandemic, we are experiencing a mass act of collectively-producedamnesia. And no shortage of it is being produced by liberals --by Hollywood, Jon Stewart, Joe Biden...liberals who stoked anger at Trump in 2020 & are acting "anti-science" now

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an antisemitic crackpot who never should have been elected in the first place. She's only interesting in the sense of watching someone eat a live fish is 'interesting.' No one should have to care about her personal 'intellectual' journeys, especially after she left office.

"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.) www.thebulwark.com/p/norman-roc...

Chicago resisted. Protests came with a price. Bruises from pepper balls and fits of sickness from the tear gas. But also the shattering of illusions and loss of faith that what they witnessed could not happen in America. It did and is happening in America www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...

It's always the people whose genitals don't have to go in the blender telling people to vote for the blender party because they have some decent policies on other things.

An enraging trend right now, from CBS to the CDC, of people actively undermining institutions, then taking the reins of those institutions and claiming they need to rebuild the trust they helped destroy. (Also, people already trusted 60 Minutes.) bsky.app/profile/just...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I think Weiss’ entire excuse for shelving the CECOT episode was bullshit, but I also think it’s incredibly disturbing to suggest trying to “both sides” the crimes against humanity happening inside a concentration camp

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US: Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science
