Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

🧵 1/3 🔴 I am for peace, always. However, Russia’s latest drone attack in Ukraine, on a train carrying civilians, is the definition of TERRORISM and must be deemed unacceptable. In a different world where the President of the USA was not under the control of Putin, and the EU ...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Cry me a river

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

I don't know why Dems keep throwing up their hands and saying that they can't reduce funding for ICE because it's part of Trump's mislabeled "Big Beautiful Bill". Bullshit. What Congress gave, Congress can take away. All they have to do is pass a bill that directs funding away from ICE and CBP

The Pleiades star cluster (M45) captured over 25 hours. The blue glow is starlight reflecting off interstellar dust. The surrounding brown structures are the Integrated Flux Nebula, incredibly faint clouds lit by the glow of our entire galaxy. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #m45

#RankedChoiceVoting The ONLY reason he wasn't primaried in 2016 was he just didn't quit Others bowed out because of the normal reasons No normal reasons exist with this guy

Rand Paul: "When people watch that video and the government tells them, 'Well, he was assaulting the police officers,' nobody with any objectivity believes that. No American believes he was assaulting the officers. In fact, the opposite appears to be true. So we have to get some rules of the game."

Amount of darkness lost since the winter solstice.

Stephen Miller is 10 times more dangerous than Kristi Noem who is also dangerous. Best case scenario is that they somehow ruin each other.

Not talking about politics Just talking about behavior. When someone can’t be questioned, criticized, or held accountable, that’s not leadership. What do we call it? Instead of arguing facts, let people sit with the tension of their contradicting beliefs. This is how free thinking returns.

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

Northfield Minnesota is home to Carleton College (where I went) and St Olaf. The town's motto is "Cows, Colleges, and Contentment." Also the site of Jesse James' last raid. Anyway it's about as bucolic a place as you can imagine. ICE isn't just terrorizing the Twin Cities.

Stephen Miller acknowledges a “possible breach of protocol” before Alex Pretti’s shooting. Come on! That’s not it. The agency is performing exactly as designed. Miller set a quota for ICE arrests and impossible hiring targets. Kristi Noem set low standards for qualifications to meet the quota. 1/2

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

The last year has done a great job naturally adjudicating the debate between “you can change public opinion on an issue by highlighting the negative parts of public policy and administrative action on said issue” vs “nuh uh”

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

Abolish. ice. 💔

A thought. Y'all remember how during Obama, after every mass shooting, there was a run on gun sales bc NRA told people he was going to take them? How about if those of us that can afford, buy a cheap one & scare the shit of them by increasing gun sales (return in 15 days)... @lincolnproject.us

Something about "Steve Ditko drew an event comic tie-in" feels so bizarre. Like learning Betty White was alive at the same time as Alexander Graham Bell.

It's clarifying to see these chodes with their masks down, asses out for the world to see, and as the irredeemable incel losers that they truly are

The authors of the Constitution could not imagine a world of corporations supporting a party and capturing all three arms of the Federal government Checks and balances only work if 1. They are exercised 2. They answer to the people

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

This is the democratic opposition party in Italy protesting against ICE involvement in the Winter Olympics in Milan

🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews: Jacksonville, Florida, tonight. A march has arrived at the United States Courthouse. From Minnesota to Florida, the message is the same: People are showing up, and they’re not backing down. ABOLISH ICE 🔥 #ICEdOut #BlueToTheCore #TogetherWeRise

It’s very notable that Stephen Miller’s wife is going out of her way to highlight these comments. Stephen Miller smeared Alex Pretti—calling him a “domestic terrorist” and “assassin” to justify his murder. Now Katie Miller and her husband are trying to throw others under the bus.

Keep her safe

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Google DeepMind staffers are pressing leadership on their plans to safeguard the 3,000-person unit from ICE agents. "As we have seen, government agency tactics can change and escalate quite rapidly. With offices in many metro areas across the US, are we prepared?" Scoop from @mzeff.bsky.social

Moin zusammen 💚 Immerhin Mittwoch! Kommt gut durch den Tag!

Melania hasn't sold a single ticket at all in Boston. This movie was an obvious bribe by Bezos and Amazon.

📒 NEW STUDY “supports abolition of Daylight Saving Time and adoption of permanent Standard Time to minimize negative consequences including migraines.”

The rage at the monsters who can collect a check for doing this and a party that terrorizes parents for caring about their kids as they force others to give birth is numbing. But growing up in LA and having taught in LAUSD, I know this isn't a new terror. It's just more a general one.

Hearing ICE targeted the parents at bus stops as they waited for their kids to arrive in -10 cold.

Only 'the very best people' 🤦‍♀️

It's always projection It's always "punishment for THEE but not for ME" or "rights for ME not for THEE"
