Because in the dark little holes where logic and empathy should be found, they have nurtured white supremacy instead, and that very hypocrisy is a demonstration of their desire to dominate the truth and corrupt justice to power...

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm. TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

Historian of abolition here yes worse than the Civil Rights movement when the federal government could be goaded into doing the right thing. right now we are confronting the new Slave Power that controls the government of the United States.

Yes, AND it really, deeply, profoundly sucks that we had to get to this pint - literal death squads in the streets of Blue cities - for media to learn how to write a declarative fucking sentence.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

They spiraling. They know they’ve lost containment. Now all the sudden there’s exceptions they recognize to the 2nd amendment. They’re still claiming Pretti put his hands on the agents when it was clearly them that assaulted him. They literally have no angle

This. MAGA has been living in a broken reality since the 2020 presidential election. (Yes, it started before that for many - but the whole movement went over a cliff after January 6.)

There are hard days ahead but ultimately this is why these goons are fucking cooked.

After decades of conservative Christians whining about how life in a modern, pluralistic and democratic society—with its rights for people and lifestyles they hate—amounts to persecution of them and their beliefs, they are now—in the most literal sense of the term—persecuting Christians.

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

The fundamental tenet of Robert Peel, who founded the first municipal police force in London, is that the police are the people and the people are the police. Once this connection is destroyed, you are simply an occupying force. This is why ICE should be withdrawn from Minneapolis, today.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I wrote about the right's attack on empathy here. the truth is that empathy is central to the right's project...but only empathy for certain people. that empathy gets "weaponized" for genocidal ends. therevealer.org/what-we-can-...

🇺🇸 I was the Managing Editor of Stars and Stripes for a decade. Please see my statement on Trump and Hegseth’s anti-American attack on the paper’s congressionally mandated editorial freedoms, and what that could mean for us and its readers. -Earl

and which of course we all know is false, as the loved ones of Breonna Taylor will remind you

The courage of Minnesotans is contagious.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

They’ve spent the better part of 10-15 years showing us what utter cowards they are and they cannot believe many of us are not like them

29 point collapse on immigration. From Rasmussen. Yeesh.

If you have seen your favorite sex subreddit become abolish ICE overnight please DM me so I can write about it for The Verge dot com ✨

Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once. Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.

Kash Patel is firing senior agents and directors at the FBI with connections to investigations into Donald Trump. trib.al/8fhWTeC

Everyone can do something, and nobody has to see it for it to count...

FBI agent resigns after Good civil rights investigation shut down. "She was then ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer.... [the DoJ's] Todd Blanche [told] Fox News Sunday... the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation." www.kare11.com/article/news...

It was common for Confederates to refer to "Yankee hirelings." They assumed ordinary people's motivations for fighting them could only be monetary. There was a Jeffersonian angle to it. Like, people who didn't own their own land, and grow cash crops on it, had no liberty.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.

ACAB includes your Ring camera

"hahaaa we've already won" to "don't be mean to us, our profits are hurting" in record time

Part of the issue here is that they percieve opposition as unfair. You’re supposed to let them win and kiss their feet. If you don’t, that’s not only unfair, but if you win, it’s a kind of cheating. Like a toddler you let win so they won’t have a meltdown. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

They know each other because they're fucking neighbors. If they don't know you can get breathing protection at a hardware store, one of their neighbors knows it because their neighbor does woodworking or welding or shit like that, and their neighbor is like "oh yeah let's go to Lowes."

This led to a TRO by the end of the night. I cover the TRO at Law Dork — and all of the quick-moving legal action on Saturday that followed the ICE killing of Alex Pretti: www.lawdork.com/p/the-ice-ki...

I'm going to church this morning. I need to figure out if Jesus would want me on Team Boo Hoo Fucking Bitch or Team I'm Not Mad At You / Are You OK.

Great Pyrenees enthusiasts, firearms comics, Sponge Bob memes, even the Real Housewives Reddit subs are all Fuck ICE posting

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

As predicted: the stabilized footage has pretty much immediately become a significant issue for the federal government here.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

4/ The NYT has now changed it's lead story headline back to one with an emphasis on the DHS lies. Good grief. Now: Minnesota authorities investigate fatal shooting as federal officials blame victim Earlier: Man killed by federal agents in Minneapolis was holding a phone, not a gun

And some of you didn’t care how many children died to support your lie.

ERs & Labor/Delivery/PostPartum units become traps women aren’t willing to fall into. Women are going to start giving birth in secret. Brush up on “how to deliver a baby” just in case. There is a non-zero chance you could come across someone in need of delivery help. Shit’s getting extremely real.

Encouraging to see such a direct public statement from local leaders in Salt Lake County, Utah against ice leasing or buying warehouses in their area. This should become the norm. gephardtdaily.com/local/salt-l...

A completely insane take. Also, guess what gun ICE issues to it's officers? That's right, the same Sig P320 Pretti was carrying.

"The ball appeared to win after being handled in what supporters say was a comeback by the underdog."

MAGA is full of low quality leaders, who are beyond desperate to make it seem like low quality values are the only game in town.

Can I preemptively shoot sig p320 owners then in self defense? Cuz……

KRISTI NOEM: “I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.” These are Trump supporters protesting COVID policies in 2020. And they are in St. Paul, MN.

They should also know their conspiracy diet followers will go off-sides with even a wiff of a coverup. They think the raw power of their hypocrisy flex will rally MAGA, but I think they have made a grave miscalculation by refusing even a rigged self-investigation this early on...

There are so many smart and dedicated people who are working so hard to building something new and better and they are constantly being ignored and betrayed by people who are supposedly on their side and representing them.

This.
