sometimes the way you heal as a nation is to cauterize the fucking wound

This is basically why I stopped using Google search last year.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

We didn't deserve this day.

Bsky still has major limitations on video uploads, no support for group messages, no features to prevent or remove unwanted followers short of the nuclear block (which they chastise people for using)…but it’s the “mean users” (apparently *unique* to this platform) that are an issue for retention.

I know a ton of people have (rightfully!) been voicing concerns about the abundance of AI garbage at GDC, but I thought my own experience there was kind of reaffirming. The number of people loudly groaning about, rolling their eyes at, and making fun at the expense of AI was off the charts!

GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

If anyone ever needed a clear example of why so many people are struggling financially despite ✌️The Economy✌️ doing well, look no further.

I've been to all 254 TX counties, and Big Bend is the very best of Texas. The stunning, expansive desert landscape still feels untouched. It deserves to stay that way. It breaks my heart thinking about it being needlessly ruined for a f***ing wall. Here's some photos I've taken there. 🧵4/4

in 2012, it was six. now it's four.

genuinely delighted to see the games press taking on areas like prediction markets + gambling + gamification, which are tumorous outgrowths of game design & should be subject to rigorous, knowledgeable critique and *derision* within the games community

To create a durable affordability agenda, Democrats must embrace widespread anger at corporate power.

Abolish ICE. Abolish CBP. Abolish DHS. Agencies designed to tear families apart and kill people.

According to a study by The Lancet, the US has been responsible for 38 million deaths since 1970 due to its illegal sanctions. According to Brown University, the US has been responsible for 4.5 million direct & indirect deaths from post 9/11 wars. Now, 10 million more could die from USAID cuts.

There is no reforming this. Abolish ICE. Abolish CBP. Dismantle DHS.

Please read this thread. And then donate to your local Immigrant Defense group if you can.

If you were on the fence about reading Careless People (aka the expose on Facebook) by Sarah Wynn-Williams don’t be. This book is so much more explosive than what you’ve seen. The intersection of right wing extremism and Facebook is addressed directly. What a bunch of douchebags.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

yall missing the keystone reform

This is such an aspirational thread. Seattle has so much latent potential waiting to be unlocked.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

"“There was a car seat in the back with one of those baby blankets you get at the hospital. There were broken glass shards all over it,” he said. “I carefully pulled back the blanket and there was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

i continue to ask what people are still doing on the fascist white supremacy platform that generates child pornography

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

There is no “reforming” this.

Your taxes paid for this.

Thank you for telling it like it is, Governor. I'd love it if you could get the congress critters to understand they should be speaking like you are. Maybe call Chuck.

Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. There is no reform.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

remember when the Republicans attempted to repeal Obamacare 70 times while Obama was still in office? how they kept introducing votes that they knew couldn't pass just to frustrate their opponents? bringing this up for no reason

The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. This is who he really was.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Society needs to bring back that Pee-wee's Playhouse aesthetic. People don't go out anymore? Give them a reason to visit places. Make them look cool.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start. Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family. It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.

There is no reforming this. Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. Impeach the Administration.

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...
