They’re kidnapping, trafficking and torturing children in MN but hey Amy’s having fun! @klobuchar.senate.gov

The phrase dumb luck comes to mind. I did a lot of dumb and dangerous stuff when I was younger, maybe you were a good kid idk

He's throwing that chemical weapon at Minneapolis council member Jason Chavez.

From the great David Wojnarowicz (thread): "I wake up every morning in this killing machine called america & I’m carrying this rage like a blood filled egg & there’s a thin line between inside & the outside a thin line between thought & action & that line is simply made up of blood & muscle & bone"

donald trump wants you to live in hell where you will be snitched upon by your neighbors and where the state is always watching you and kill you without any discretion if you disagree with them

state-sponsored child trafficking

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

No amount of training or reform is going to fix this.

NEW: Following the whistleblower memo on secret ICE policy directing agents to enter U.S. homes, Sen. Blumenthal demanded info from Acting Director Lyons & Secretary Noem and called for hearings in the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees

Goldfinger is on. This guy, Richard Vernon, is 39 YEARS OLD HERE. 39! HE'S THIRTY NINE.

Guessing the Danes presented Trump with the already-existing arrangements for Greenland (which are pretty damned good for the US) but packaged them as some brand new deal and the dumb putz took the bait.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump “is now basically running our country the way he ran his companies — as a one-man show free to make terrible deals. That management style led to six bankruptcy filings by his companies,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

One of the more tedious things I encounter regularly here is when people want to get into semantic arguments about "this thing is specifically bad" vs "things have always been bad to some degree" Often reads as derailing to me.

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

I've been to Iceland by accident. Someone was taken ill on a flight across the Atlantic, and we were diverted to Iceland. I tweeted about it. Twitter really was the world's town square then, the place everyone went to for immediate updates. Someone searched for "Iceland" and found me 1/2

"Our AI has turned your thesis about oxygen evolution electrocatalysis into rage bait preloaded with one hundred racist and transphobic comments." buff.ly/1mFcco3

Stealing other people's scoops and then selling the aggregate linkouts lmao Look I know Americans are dumb enough to put 50K in a shoebox but it you subscribe to this, well

If you followed the history of Nazi diplomacy in the years before the outbreak of WWII, it was filled with rhetoric exactly like what we are hearing from Lutnick, Bessent and Trump at Davos—lots of purely gratuitous insults. This isn't actually diplomacy, it's more like a promise of conflict.

Meanwhile, U.S. Members of Congress appeared alongside George Simion, leader of Romania’s far-right AUR—a figure widely criticized for pro-Russian rhetoric and positions—while cutting a Greenland-shaped cake decorated with a U.S. flag.

Last year a whistleblower said DOGE had illegally accessed a Social Security database. SSA now acknowledges it's true—& that DOGE employees had secret agreement w/ unidentified political advocacy group to use SocSec data to help overturn election results. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Media may not have noticed that Trump’s Board of Peace Charter was drafted so that the US need NOT ratify and become a party.Trump’s current status as US President is a necesary stepping stone but his unitary rule in the new international organisation would be personal, permanent and even hereditary

You’re not going to learn here, the first person to learn will be whoever is monitoring polymarket and sees the big bet come in.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

I don’t care if it’s 4pm or 4am, pull into my driveway with a boombox, a bullhorn, and a bottle of bourbon.

there are plenty of reasons Air Force One would suddenly turn around. for example, they may have forgotten Kevin

alright, im going to bed, someone wake me up if it happens or if the east coast enters a second ice age

How fares the King

At some point everyone has to admit that no one is safe from these monsters. US citizens, military, veterans, priests and even cops are being targeted, detained, abused, even killed by this government. No one is off limits.

A combat-wounded Army veteran says federal immigration agents detained him for about eight hours after he watched an ICE arrest from a public sidewalk in south Minneapolis. #FuckICE www.kare11.com/article/news...

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

For the people who are whining that Kamala and Barack aren’t speaking out now…. They literally gave speeches in 2024 accurately predicting everything that’s happening now and you clearly didn’t give a shit. What are they supposed to say now? Shut the fuck up.

10 years of this shit

The Art of the Deal.

I have to say, I’m not convinced of the productiveness of the Americans who didn’t want any of this and the Europeans who didn’t want any of this yelling at the other lot that it’s all their fault on the website for people who didn’t want any of this

If your neighbour sets their house on fire for 4 years & then puts the fire out for 4 years & then sets their house on fire again for 4 more years, you probably shouldn't be making long term plans that rely on your neighbour's house not being on fire, even if they manage to put out the fire again.

Hexachloroethane smoke is not a mild irritant. ...the dense smoke produced by these devices—dominated by chemicals like zinc chloride—as capable of causing severe respiratory damage, chemical burns, and long-term lung injury. Some exposures in closed environments have even been fatal.

Refusing to sniff glue won't stop glue

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, are you watching this press conference? Would you happen to know any journalists with experience in writing about cognitive health?

I think the moment I fully lost it with American elite culture was when there was a no-shit bipartisan panic attack over Colorado throwing Trump off the 2024 ballot because of this stipulation

"If you watch an episode of Cheers, you might hear references to foreign filmmakers, to classical musicians, to Russian novelists. The level of assumed knowledge back then was far greater; now, TV is rarely adventurous in its allusions."

"Portland metro area officials are warning residents about reports of federal immigration officers posing as utility workers to lure people out of their homes.'"
