The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Anyone who saw “The Producers” knows that you can wring cash out of intentional flop. Jeff Bezos pumped money into Melania not to sell tickets but to bribe and flatter Trump.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

“Look, I think regimes, including that one in Iran have learned that when you start shooting people in the head with snipers it works, it’s effective, and its horrifying.” - Secretary Marco Rubio at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing today.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Toughest congressperson in America rears back for a punch, and refuses to cut short townhall, after asshole sprays her with something.

Thank you @cityofsomerville.bsky.social for clearing bike lanes! Still some left to clear, but it’s impressive how much they’ve got done just a night after the storm.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

"They are just regular people. This is what normal day-to-day life in Minneapolis entails now, for anyone with enough integrity to be bothered by city police kidnapping their neighbors." open.substack.com/pub/howthing...

the third item of german nightly news (watched by about 30% of the population daily) is the ICE killing in minneapolis. Its big news in europe

Northern Lights over Greenland.

Under federal siege, Minnesota workers are surviving through union solidarity. How UNITE HERE Local 17 is feeding members in hiding and calling a work stoppage. @sarahlazare.bsky.social w/ @workdaymagazine.bsky.social reports on a key way Minnesotans are organizing against ICE.

If you’re able, here are a list of ways offer financial support to folks under siege in Mpls right now: linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Roses are red, Potatoes have eyes,

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

"The F150, one of the heaviest pickups on the market, is notorious for its involvement in traffic crashes" NY legislators have stalled for 2,155 days on a simple bill from @agounardes.bsky.social (S1675) to show exactly how unsafe specific vehicles are for everyone outside of the vehicle.

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

Cycle lanes and LTNs often attract loud opposition, making them seem deeply unpopular. But are they? Across multiple studies (survey + analysis of 36k UK tweets), we find broad support - especially for well-designed, segregated lanes. Good quality cycle lanes benefit all! 🔗 shorturl.at/Ovkco

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Good reminder from this state highway!

Just in: Supervisor alanwongsf failed to get the required signatures from fellow Supervisors to place another ballot measure targeting Sunset Dunes before SF voters. It’s time to move forward and focus on improving our coastal park together. SF has made a decision, and the park is here to stay.
