Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

This is a hell of a speech (and a reality check). The post WWII global alignment is history. The US is no longer the friend of the world's democracies. It's time to move on. (Is it possible to apply for Canadian citizenship?) Worth a read.

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

I feel like we’re living in a dystopian novel so dystopian that even if Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury had collaborated on a book, the three of them together couldn’t have dreamt this shit up.

History (if there is a history in the future) will record the crimes of Roberts and McConnell. They are responsible for the apocalyptic shit show we are all stuck in.

Writing Tip: Be consistent. If you just write 'when you feel like it' you might never get that writing piece off the ground. You don't have to be a drill sergeant about it, but try and create a regular routine when you have decided you're going to write. Start small. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

Her comment — FREEDOM of SPEECH

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

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?"

Prediction: if the Texans defense can manage to score a touchdown, because Lord knows their offense can’t, I think they’ll win.

Can the #Texans defense also play offense? I think that’s their best chance to beat the #Patriots.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

Yep, if you *had* to make a comparison, all of US history from 1800 to 1960 would be pretty relevant. I’d highlight the years leading up to the Civil War, the late 1920s, or the Civil Rights era, but this is very much an American experience.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

What Rob said. More tech journalists need to grow the spine (and cojones) of Elizabeth Lopatto.

in 2016 i made an edit of a dilbert comic and scott adams got so mad he blocked me and then blogged about it

AIPAC spends hundreds of millions buying primaries across the country. Now they’re trying to buy mine.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home. You have the right to ask to see the warrant. You have the right to refuse entry without one.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.
