EVERCORE: ".. This is the first time Powell has decided to fight back. We are stunned by this deeply disturbing development .. the administration and the central bank are now in open war –- something Powell and .. Bessent have tried strenuously to avoid. .. This is unambiguously risk off."

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.

Unironically, what is the reason that child sexual fetishisation material is unremarkable on Twitter? Why isn't it triggering mass moral panics?

Ehhh one of my neighbors presumably was just walking their dog while holding a protest sign lol like there wasn't anyone else just her on the dog walk. Extremely chuffed

Human rights activists: 490+ protesters and bystanders killed by #Iran security forces and 10,000+ detained during #IranProtests

Firearms trainers can be broken down into two categories. Category 1: People who think having a deadly force event will be one of the worst days of your life. Category 2: People who fantasize about the opportunity to use deadly force - it's the pinnacle of gun ownership for them.

This was from months ago

I’m wondering if a Catholic Bishop will soon say publicly that JD Vance is barred from Communion if he attends Mass in their Diocese. Now-Detroit Archbishop Weisenburger suggested potential canonical penalties for Catholics involved in Trump’s immigration policies in Trump’s first term.

The ICE drivers periodically try to intimidate their tails, looping behind them or (reportedly) leading them to the address where the car is registered. But the important thing is they know they’re being watched from every corner, every car, the whole city breathing down their necks. Eyes everywhere

The scale of the neighborhood watch network in Minneapolis is insane and it’s growing every day.

"From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do" is the Uvalde defense.

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

One mfer literally told me "we've got to punish Kamala" - my dude you cannot punish the rich and famous by not making them president.

Six hospitals in Tehran have recorded at least 217 protester deaths, "most by live ammunition," according to a doctor there, reports Roxana Saberi for Time magazine. time.com/7345092/iran-protest...

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ. This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

This is the most mad I've heard a cop about another cop ever. Bless her

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with the masked men with no visible agency insignia carrying crates of who knows what out of the shooter's house, but HBO just released an amazing documentary into DHS "shadow units" whose job was to destroy evidence of Border Patrol's crimes

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

Not for nothing but the Uber driver got pretty close to being correct for the atomic number of copper - a feat which literally no one at ice could accomplish. This guy is the best of us.

Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before! Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.

Anyone who thinks more training is the solution hasn't ever gone for any training because more often than not the trainer is just the guy who is really fixated on being able to live out their fantasy of doing violence.

This is a hospital in Kherson after russian attack, that happened today at 12:15. A shell pierced the wall of one of the wards. Two nurses were wounded and hospitalized with blast injuries and concussions, according to local administration head Shanko.

Guys it’s kind of wild, but apparently leaders can face very serious charges for leading coups

Thought everyone might enjoy this pretty excellent still from a DPRK propaganda video

Support if you can for Dino - I'll take this as a moment to pitch having hydrogen peroxide and activated charcoal on hand. I know from first hand experience the horror of having to wait to be seen when your pet is sick and potentially getting sicker by the minute.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

Number of people shot by Trump's secret police so far: 43. www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

I've been told that you can't use your vehicle as a weapon

Notable w/ DHS falsely claiming people are “weaponizing” vehicles is that since George Floyd uprisings GOP lawmakers have pushed laws legalizing plowing over protesters w/ cars Also MAGA/alt-right memes were rife w/ fantasies abt doing just that, portending neo-Nazi car attack in Charlottesville

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. @startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

TOWARD A NEW SPRINGTIME OF NATIONS TOWARD A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM

Not to get conspiracy-brained, but I do think there's a version of violence from ICE that isn't about performative cruelty to the base by itself or, obviously, just getting people off the streets, but creating a reaction that will be, in their minds, preamble to enact a project of state capture.

Bluesky are shadowbanning the shooter's name and that is bad and dumb.

It's crazy that blue sky is not allowing people to search the name of the murderer

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

Security forces in Iran are now firing on protesters in cities like Tehran and Khorramabad. In Tehran, demonstrators reportedly set fire to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh... Bingo exactly like I thought

Compare with their reaction to CK's murder. Suddenly respect for the dead and the First Amendment don't matter anymore

Not me dog, I'm an environment fighter. I'm grabbing whatever is at hand - pocket sand if need be

Practically, unless something changes, Rosen's intervention means there will be no independent police agency investigating the shooting. It will be left entirely to Kash Patel's FBI. Any chance of state charges will be entirely reliant on the FBI investigation and what evidence it decides to share.

The only reason I know who Stephen Smith is, is because I asked my sports loving friend - Hey who is this dude on the radio that talks like Nancy Grace except about sports?

That's a technical
