25th amendment calling

trump will lose but sadly one way he has already won is just how acclimated i have gotten over the last ten years to things i previously would have thought insane, and how low my expectations are for people to be normal

One tough thing for people who get abducted by ICE is that they have no charges against them, so nobody from the agency is attached to their detainment. They just get held up, roughed up, and robbed of their valuables for no reason until ICE figures that out, and then they get dumped outside.

We don't comment on rumors. I will say only that for reasons of geography and logistics, to begin with, coming to Philadelphia would be a poor choice on the part of the government.

We are so dependent on intel sharing arrangements that this is a complete disaster for the US IC.

No shit.

Has ICE studied Napoleon, Hitler’s army and Soviet winters?

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

Wait I thought they had a deal to reverse this

I have this conversation with my European friends a lot: Europeans value rules and order. Set rules, explain rules, and they'll do their best to follow them. Americans value being left alone and have no issue disregarding rules they see as stupid. What this administration is doing is stupid.

Admitting they aren't investigating is a communications choice I don't think I'd make.

Why does DHS keep telling you false information on Minnesota about: - what they mean by "criminal" immigrants - the legal standard for arrests - what the Supreme Court has said Also, what implications does this have for Insurrection Act? Preview below of 1st issue. Full video next in thread. 🧵

There's no way that's real

A family trying to get home from their son’s basketball game in Minneapolis on Wednesday found themselves between protesters and federal agents, before they were tear gassed in their car and the mother had to administer CPR to her infant.

In order to do what Assad did the regime would have to be capable of putting ~2M+ (minimum) hardened killers willing to mow down Americans on the streets Does that seem like something Bovino's cargo cult fascism roadshow and traveling circus can pull off nationwide or nah

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Hmm.

Trump tries desperately to lose what little support he has left in the Senate yet they continue to grovel.

This dumb motherfucker is trying to fight a two front Arctic war

The FBI is asking agents across the US to travel to Minneapolis for temporary duty, according to people familiar with the situation

Even Bibi going nah man is what we call a clue.

thread about X’s new TOS. tldr is musk can now sue users for any reason in a TX court he basically owns, so he’ll almost certainly win. and this is a platform politicians and journalists largely refuse to leave.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone. The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets. We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval." www.ms.now/opinion/minn...

Can we make Noem validate she's human? I'm unconvinced.

“In recent days, there have been reports of blockades at shopping areas where ‘roving groups of DHS agents block all traffic and demand the citizenship of riders in every car,’ per to a lawsuit Minnesota filed against the Trump admin earlier this week” www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...

(I show this map/diagram to my stats class every year. Tufte called it "the best statistical graph ever written.")

Oh my God lol

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Whether it’s Donald Trump putting a violent Gestapo in the streets of the United States or Joe Biden putting a Peloton in the White House, both presidents made polarizing decisions

The Axios reporting is correct that this is what the Susie Wileses (even tho I don’t think(?) the story names her there) of the world want to find ways to, uh, soften this from a PR perspective. However, others actually driving the policies like Stephen Miller aren’t of the same mind, and even if…

Don't you have to be popular to have a populist message

Officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in a U.S. immigration enforcement operation can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, a judge ruled Friday. n.pr/4qPEVYM

"A San Diego businesswoman who was granted clemency by Donald Trump in 2021 and later convicted on new fraud charges received a pardon from the president on Thursday" www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

This pay for pardon list is extraordinary. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Heh.

Yes. Do you know how many families are being supported by their neighbors right now? Families afraid to leave home being fed by their neighborhoods; immigrant communities feeding the old hippies standing on their street corners with whistles in 10-degree snowstorms. They cannot break us

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?” Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

DHS blames Minnesota family driving home from kids’ athletic event for their family (including 6-month old baby) being tear-gassed, then deletes tweet. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Trump joins a not-so-long list of people who have acquired someone else's Nobel medal, including... uh... Joseph Goebbels. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

The White House Military Office Marine Corps aide is on “Football” duty for Emperor Trump’s early afternoon getaway to Mar-a-Lago. The ~45-pound satchel accompanies Trump 24/7, enabling him alone to authorize the use of any of our ~1,770 deployed nuclear weapons—up to 900 on alert—at any time.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Just the dumbest people in the world

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Billionaire Harold Hamm, Trump's biggest ally in the oil business, is shutting down operations in North Dakota after 30+ years there. Oil prices are just too low, he says. But somehow ... American oil giants are going to pour money into Venezuela, Trump swears. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Not only that, but -- you're never going to believe this part! -- it appears DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin put out a grossly misleading account of the circumstances of Campos's death.

not legal advice but if you're going to hack the Supreme Court e-filing system, maybe don't post about it on an Instagram called @ihackedthegovernment bsky.app/profile/anna...

I cannot fathom the degree of insecurity to make 80% of your identity a unit to which you were never assigned and that you were randomly thrown into for a couple months during a deployment
