Sun figured out how to open lever door handles and she's been doing it nonstop for the past 24 hours. Other than the front door, every single interior and exterior door handle we have is lever-style, so this is gonna be a thing.

In this case I think we’re talking about Schutzstaffel and not police reserve battalions. These guys want to be here. They sought these positions because of the opportunities to be violent.

Always good to remember how the government led straight up Nazi mengele medical experiments in Tuskegee up until 1972 and nobody was punished for it whatsoever and yet many americans are shocked at how the American government can be depraved and wicked. “How’d that happen???” It’s always been this

First of all, this guy is great and I wish I could take him out to dinner. Stands his ground surrounded by all these goons, asserts his rights, and he’s funny about it too. Second, recognize what’s going on here. The ICE guys are continuing to engage to try to create an opening to be violent.

Qualified immunity.

They sought these jobs because they wanted permission to murder people and laugh about it. That is exactly what they’re doing. ICE/CBP recruiting is maybe the best screening tool for violent psychopathy of the last few decades.

I will happily pay $10 for a dozen eggs if that's what it takes for federal agents to stop murdering people in cold blood in our streets.

ICE is in the blue circle.

Apparently he responded to a request from CBS News with “Fuck Bari Weiss.”

Ah yes, the Kavanaugh stop. A brief law enforcement encounter that lasts a mere *checks notes* 25 days.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Let's report on the political disagreement, not on the broad daylight murder of an innocent person by heavily armed American gestapo. ffs there are videos available and at least one is embedded in the story.

I’d expect nothing less from a woman who steals the public’s money and shoots her own animals.

1. Fascist movements attract opportunistic psychopaths. They want permission to murder innocent people. 2. This admin always communicates in bad faith (see, e.g. Sartre). 3. They offer legal rationale to give “respectable” elites moral cover, to waste your time, and gloat over our powerlessness.

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

The whole “_____ ICE is the moderate position” is a useful proxy for a broad mindset shift. If government is going to have any legitimacy again, we need to commit to justice in the future for the crimes of today. A moderate position doesn’t matter because it’s not a fucking negotiation. 1/

We need to normalize thinking about large-scale prosecutions of this admin as inevitable. Cabinet members on down to ICE stormtroopers are going to face justice for their rampage of criminality. And the public needs to know details of what happened. The murders, the bribes and embezzlement.

2/ ICE is a criminal enterprise that has terrorized, attacked, and murdered people for not being white. Of *course* it is going to be abolished. Of course we are going to prosecute and imprison people responsible for committing crimes.

This is funny, but the whole “abolish ice is the moderate position” thing is a good proxy for a mindset shift that has to happen. If government is going to have any legitimacy again, we need to commit to justice in the future for the crimes of today. It’s not a fucking negotiation. 1/

Thank you @mollymckew.bsky.social for this OUTSTANDING thread. This gets to the crux of my POV that we should be talking about impeachment and prosecution of Trump and Vance as inevitable. If we say “never gonna happen” then the only options are surrender or wait for violence to happen to us.

YES! Remind ICE that there will be prosecutions for these crimes. They are not immune from prosecution even if the President is.

ICE is in the blue circle.

DHS's first official statement is out, and they call the woman who was shot a domestic terrorist who they claim was trying to kill an ICE agent. As a reminder, Tricia McLaughlin's post-shooting statements have been proven to be false MULTIPLE times in the past. They are simply not trustworthy.

Extremely disturbing. If this is the incident, it is inconsistent with DHS's statement.

Gotta respect Sanctioned Oil’s fourth amendment rights, you know.

This is not historically accurate but that language “spilled blood” and “dominant predator force” is pretty rich coming from a two-bit conman who got kicked out of a volunteer reserve sheriffs deputy program for never showing up.

The plan to turn Greenland into a network state is backed by Thiel, Sam Altman, Palantir's Joe Lonsdale, all of whom are friends with Trump's ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery 🙃 techcrunch.com/2024/11/15/i...

Greenland is back in the news so I am compelled to remind folks that while yes, there are rare earth minerals there, the tech weirdos who have infiltrated the government have also been obsessed with Greenland as part of their network state plan for a long time. drilled.media/news/network...

What’s everyone up to this weekend? I was thinking of going for a hike, having a series of panic attacks, and cleaning up around the house.

If anyone is interested in learning more about the MOVE bombing, there’s a good documentary called “Let the Fire Burn.”

Say what you will about Max Horkheimer, he nailed it in 1943. Could have been written about Stephen Miller’s post yesterday.

Prosecuting Elon Musk and finally bringing down his empire of fraud is a good goal in itself, but the message it would send is even more important.

White noise is so-called because it resembles the spectra of white light. Pink noise is so-called because it resembles the spectra of pink light. Brown noise is so-called because it's produced by brownian motion and is named after Robert Brown.

Running deficits for years, but parents were not warned. So they snuck in the shutdown over the holiday break. Who was asleep at the wheel? @dianeravitch.bsky.social @nepc.bsky.social @mattbarnum.bsky.social @floridaea.bsky.social @damarisallen.bsky.social vimeo.com/1151991494?s...

I think a key part of this scheme is robbing as much money from blue states as possible in part to make Democrats who are electeds in these states less popular by creating budget crises there.

We have to be the most skeptical of any story we feel able to believe with no evidence.

Enough with the bunk science. For actual help focusing, many folks take the drug methylphenidate. Chemist Leandro Panizzoni first synthesized this stimulant in 1944. For marketing, Panizzoni named it after his wife Marguerite, who went by Rita. You know his product as Ritalin. Eponyms 2.9

Unfortunately, pants were restricted to men until relatively recently. An American feminist and reform activist tried to bridge the gap for women between the dresses/skirts they were allowed to wear and the practical pants they weren’t. Her name? Amelia Jenks Bloomer. Eponyms 2.3

How about a quick diversion with more surprising eponyms from my little archive. A reminder: An eponym is something named after a person. A surprising eponym is just that: Something we generally assume isn’t named for a person. Buckle up [in cars. this isn’t that kind of thread.]

Here’s Curtis Yarvin, the fascist “intellectual” who has heavily influenced Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and JD Vance, rambling about Jews and assimilation. Nazi legal philosopher Carl Schmitt, from whom Yarvin lifts a lot of ideas, was unrepentant after WW2 and never was punished. That was a mistake.

this might sound weird but I'm just gonna say it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

"this is not a war, this is a special military operation" sounded better in its original russian

Reupping this thread in support of non-pugilistic content. Also bc I’m going to do another thread of surprising eponyms tomorrow.

Bobby Jindo is sacked out.

Hey you, stranger. Remember to find some moments of joy for yourself. Smile and laugh if you can. You don’t have to feel guilty for taking a breather from all this sadness. I repost this about the Warsaw Ghetto periodically and it’s no less true in 2026.

"Pablo" sent this from Tulare County CA telling us "A full 900lb mandarin box earns us $60. To fill it, we carry and dump 70-lb bags over and over throughout the day." #WeFeedYou

Now is also the perfect time to have IRL hobbies that involve other humans. For one, it’s important to have a tiny bit of joy and distraction. For another, corporeal social networks are always valuable.
