Saw this over on Threads. Lol

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

NEW: Many have reported that ICE intends to build a new detention center in Hutchins, Texas, that can house up to 9,500, but no one has reported the exact location — until now. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

European senior diplomats are (indirectly) comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler

oh wow it's really bad that that's HIS understanding of what the insurrection act does

Patty O'Keefe, who was violently arrested while monitoring ICE activity, says one agent told her, "You guys got to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead," referring to Renee Good.

Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Lmao

Hahahaha amazing

I thought they couldn’t find new ways to make flying dangerous and I was wrong

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation. “This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”

Two things can be true: Maduro is a vile despot who stole the election & has caused unimaginable harm & trauma to Venezuelans, including economic collapse & mass migration. Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with helping Venezuelans & everything to do with Trump’s own power.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Let’s go shamans?

The Peruvian shamans are already 1 of 2 on the year www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Get a cargo bike. Car dealerships are one of the biggest supporting groups of the right wing government in this country.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Sometimes in 2025, when I wished I had accomplished more in my career, I think about the person I helped prepare for interviews who landed an amazing job but then ditched me almost immediately after. I remember she and her dad were convinced Trump was unlikely to get us into new wars.

How it's going.

Saving this screenshot from Threads as a new reaction image

Oh

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It is very counter-intuitive to people, I think, that the churches that give the most casual vibes are often dogmatically/socially rigid and the churches that are often very outwardly traditional are more progressive. Never been really sure what overcomes that except pointing it out to people lol

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

Asked what the future held for the Venezuelan people on Saturday morning, Trump said the U.S. would decide its fate “We’re making that decision now. We can’t take a chance on letting somebody else run it,” Trump said on Fox News. “So we’re making that decision now. We’ll be involved in it very much”

uh holy SHIT?

Hi I’m my own brain

The food my in laws describe as spicy

I am also relying on his genetics to keep him alive

They should sell tampons at Home Depot

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

On the last point: I firmly believe that every city over like 250k inhabitants should be like NYC only in so far as it should be a sort of insane and unappealing option to drive there. Like no one is stopping you. You’re free to do so. And many do! Every day, constantly. But there are options.

#BestOf2025, by @sandywestreporter.bsky.social : Attorneys and family preservation and child welfare advocates are increasingly alarmed that many women in vulnerable situations are at risk of losing their children to a privately run shadow foster and adoption system.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. Make this. Make “Sweet Home Alabama” but she’s reminded that her hometown sucks, her high school boyfriend is an asshole, everyone there is a bigot, and there’s nothing to do there but drink. So she goes back to the new city life she’s built, with renewed gratitude.
