You know the people who go went after their own undergrads and faculty for denouncing the genocide committed by Israel. All working with a pedophile.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

we have reporting, per our sources, in here on what Trump’s intel community (yes Intel community) and federal law enforcement have been probing since last year, which led to this raid, and boy is it wild… I know we’ve come to expect this from this gang, but it’s basically Trump’s feds and spooks…

If I have the right Nellie Bowles, the partner in question is Bari Weiss

I just see “federal agents” and notes that federal judges rejected requests for a warrant at two levels

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

When do you lift heavy and run far if you work 9-9-6? These people can't do math.

Does no one in the Senate remember how to grind things to a halt like Mitch McConnell did? Don’t be placated by weak tea “de-escalation.” Grind things to a halt.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Political scientists see non-violent resistance as much more effective--and it's not just from aggregate statistics. Rather, it's the way that peaceful resistance undermines the state's repressive capacities. This op-ed by Berkeley prof @owasow.bsky.social explains this logic 🎯. Give it a read!

“Large language models are trained on vast amounts of human-written text, material filled with descriptions of various emotions and inner experience. Because of that, Askell said she is ‘more inclined’ to believe that models are ‘feeling things’.” This is a complete non sequitur. #PhilAI

Another thing I learned in the town hall is that the events in Minneapolis are being well-documented because of the thousands of people who trained to become legal observers after the murder of George Floyd

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation. 🎥 dangjessie / Threads

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

centrists like to use terminology disputes as a proxy battle for actual policy fights, and engaging is often fruitless. if you don’t like the slogan use something else. but the agency needs to be hollowed out, every existing agent needs to be put on no-hire lists, and there need to be prosecutions.

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting. He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

This kid and his father entered via CBP One app. It's just absurd and monumentally unfair for people who availed themselves of lawful channels when they existed by following government processes to suddenly get detained and deported to a third country. newrepublic.com/article/2056...

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

These women are amazing, I’m not sure I would have shown the same humanity to someone trying to take my life away

ICE shooting victim claims he was shot through door after letting cousin inside. "We were successful in helping my cousin get inside. ....I closed the door. And as I was locking it, I heard the shot, and that’s when I realized I had been shot in the leg.’” edition.cnn.com/2026/01/18/u...

Rules-based international order. And what stronger rule is there than the one against torture (a fortiori sexual torture)? And yet, Europe looks the other way

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

I earnestly believe that this is far more effective political communication than ‘the thing about the length of ice training is… and we must secure our borders but…’. People aint listening to all that

When did everyone in public office lose the ability to understand "if"

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

If the law does not bind the police and the military, then there is no law. There is only the police and the military. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_C...

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school. Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

This really is the epitome of Bari Weiss's conservative "free speech" strategy. Their aim is to distribute conservative propaganda, but they can't even admit that to themselves, so when they describe what they're doing they come out with meaningless platitudes.

Not even Jim Gilmore did as much to reinvigorate Virginia Democrats as did Glenn Youngkin. Also, note that, in January 2029, the two states that border the District of Columbia will have Democratic governors in charge of state police and the National Guard.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so. She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide. She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

The Mandalorian teaching geometry: This is the ray.

We were watching The Pitt and everyone on the show was ooing and ahhhing over the dictation app showing the 'magic of AI' and my wife, who works in ERs is like 'yeah we've had dictation apps for years and years partly because of lawsuits, but this must hit hard if you're stupid'

protestors are nonviolent and I don't think anyone believes escalation is a good idea. politicians should *say that* and emphasize the violent escalation of the trump regime, rahter than scolding people in the streets for potential future actions which the pols might disapprove of. 1

“no soy propiedad! no soy propiedad!” ella sigue insistiendo mientras se encoge lentamente y se transforma en mazorca de maíz

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

People are trying to make this complicated, kicking dust into the air. But it's really simple: *The government has created the impossible conditions in which these prisoners - who have not been convicted of any crime - languish. By refusing to intervene, it is killing them.*

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

People noticing that calling Will a sorceror when that didn't come until 3rd edition weren't being mere pedants but noticing a deeper truth

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social
