Texas, 9th State Senate A flip in a Trump district 🌊🌊🌊

it’s amazing how there actually was a secret cartoonishly evil puppet master pedophile in American politics and also every single Republican who claimed to be desperate to Find that Exact Guy is having their total failure rubbed in their face in a series of public humiliations

THIS is the last straw!!!

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

Recording of KPCR radio program yesterday with Jackie Dilworth and @loromimi.bsky.social talking about ICE in MN and the murder of Alex Pretti. Two callers reporting from MN and also reports from San Diego and Portland. Good segment! rss.com/podcasts/kpc...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

The video of the latest apparent ICE killing shows them repeatedly shooting someone after they had already been beaten and were being held down by multiple agents.

Video is interesting to watch - also, clergy comments at the end speak to the value of their trip and personal witness

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

A new book from Phaidon is the purr-fect celebration of cats in art, photography, and illustration across centuries 🐱 www.thisiscolossal.com/2026/01/cats...

It's all in the AP story but @wisconsineye.bsky.social needs to raise money so that the state will unlock matching funds. Here is the Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/help-wisco...

From Minneapolis to the Bay Area, ICE terrorizes. Our fast will be in solidarity with all suffering ICE All are invited to participate in two gatherings in SF: • Jan 22 - 12 pm: Prayer: SF City Hall Steps @ Polk St. • Jan 23 - 12 pm: Rally at SF ICE Bldg (630 Sansome St) buff.ly/hT4ZOSP

Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.

People are being grabbed, sent to Texas, and put through 6+ hour long refugee status “reinterviews.” So far we aren’t aware of anyone who failed. Some even got handed a green card, then dumped onto the streets in Texas and told to find their way home. Operation PARRIS. Seriously. archive.ph/6G2Vd

This is the Bigfoot read I didn't know I needed from @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

Do you like charts? Oh yes you do. I've just published hundreds of them, as I do every year. www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations

Potentially good step!!

Would you have asked to "reform" and "retrain" the SS?

"As ICE has surged, so has Minneapolis-St. Paul." www.liberalcurrents.com/so-hows-the-...

Closing perma-open docs on my computer & found a half dozen attempts from the past year to make sense of the chaos in the US, and what the path ahead looks like. 😬 Accurate on several counts so far, unfortunately.

@support.bsky.team I’m trying to sign in on my laptop (MacOS 15.7.2, Firefox browser) and get a Error:NetworkError when attempting to fetch a resource when it asks for birthdate. Eventually showed my birthdate, which is correct, but when I hit done it cycles back to add birthdate again

This administration excels at finding different ways to harm our children. Assaulting and kidnapping them joins a long list -- bringing back deadly diseases like measles, slashing education funding, supporting Twitter's CSAM, and, of course, protecting the president's pedophile sex trafficker pals.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

On the phone with them right now. You can host the armed goons terrorizing our families, or you can host us.

Tips for following coverage of protests in Minneapolis:

Bunch of sorely needed timeline cleanses being posted! ❤️ Shit is important but we need to stay sane too

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

ICE JUST MURDERED A WOMAN IN MINNEAPOLIS Emergency protest TONIGHT! 6 PM 630 Sansome, SF This is a non-violent, peaceful protest organized by ISF, endorsed by Bay Resistance & Mujeres Unidas. Come join us, resist ICE:

DHS claims the driver was a rioter/terrorist actively trying to run over an ICE agent. Video shows very different

Arrest ICE for murder. Remove ICE from our communities.

Come for the perfect @financialtimes.com headline and stay for the images created by Grok of the X leaders dressed up as clowns. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

This - in general as well as the specific case

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

We should push for this, if only to raise awareness. And it is consistent with right to repair #TeslaTakedown www.wired.com/story/us-tra...

Whatever this is, do it please

I’ve watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” many times, always been a bit bothered by a few things including the scene this discusses, even though I love the movie. And now I see it differently - so glad I read this! open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The Associated Press has an excellent story about how FCC boss Brendan Carr bullied a Bay Area AM radio station for the crime of reporting on local ICE activity. facing existential collapse it immediately demoted journalists end replaced political coverage with safe public interest cack:

😂

We have a majority in the House to extend the ACA tax credits. @SpeakerJohnson must immediately bring this bill up for a vote—22 million Americans are counting on it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Potential interaction with a question from, I think, XPT? Can’t recall how much power was asked about @ezrakarger.bsky.social

"human driver" statistical comparisons are fraught because these AVs only operate on certain roads and in certain conditions, but the important takeaway here is that Teslas are deeply unsafe and should not be on the road

Note that the October job losses were mostly Federal Government due to the DOGE deferred resignation program.

Gotta look into why xblock isn’t working right now because this is stressing me out
