It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Sickening. Abhorrent. Lawless. This cannot continue. The Senate MUST block the ICE funding bill this week. Full stop.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

🚨FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR POWELL: “Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our assessment of what will best serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.”

"Hypocrisy is when someone holds to a set of values but applies them selectively. what we are seeing is a worldview for which the only value is the domination of enemies. There is a name for that. It is fascism."

One day, as I was playing with a neighbor, a Somali friend from my school approached us and asked if he could join. Out of nowhere, my neighbor's grandfather stormed out of the house yelling slurs as my friend fled terrified back home. How I wonder, do my neighbor's views differ from JD Vance's?

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Ghoul.

I would like Twitter to have stronger border security.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social at #TAF25l: Donald Trump’s use of the military as his “personal militia” is “everything George Washington feared about what the U.S. military could become.” Watch more: bit.ly/3ItaNSB

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind. No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

Ah yes, carrot cake is the real scourge of the American diet.

The “Third Country Removal Case” means thousands of people will be deported to extremely dangerous countries they’re not from with no due process.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Craft time!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

EMERGENCY PIECE: Previous reports that Musk's DOGE programmers only have "read only" access is inaccurate. I can confirm what @wired.com first reported at 1 AM today that they have Read & WRITE access with a source in BFS referring to this as "apocalyptic" www.crisesnotes.com/day-five-of-...

Imagine your company just hired a new CEO, and in the search to find a CTO, the CEO said "Yeah, we could promote the director of engineering, but there's this L1 engineer from the front end team I've had my eye on because he's such a snappy dresser"

Well two of these guys are accounted for, but what to do with the other six?
