Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, annoying citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Tesla is a meme stock like gamestop at this point so the news sales are tanking will probably be met with a huge jump in share price because the incels who lap up every musk utterance will convince themselves "Good he is focusing on robotaxis and super tunnels and not those stupid cars"

Got a brief chill as I remembered Steve Zappala would be the one handling something like this if it happened in Pittsburgh which, of course, it could.

Everything--literally everything--is gender.

"You don’t want to act, or even talk alone; you don’t want to “go out of your way to make trouble.” Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.” (Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free)

“Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow..."

My theory is that Trump himself represents pure uncut id, while Vance and Miller are Thanatos. This leads both toward the embrace of atrocity, but Trump doesn't necessarily love it for its own sake but only when it benefits him, which puts him in a slightly different position.

You were free and prosperous in the Third Reich if you just stayed in your lane.

Honestly insane the level to which this administration is playing around with disunion

From the very same people who would love to extend the Castle Doctrine (and in some states have done so) to allow you to run down anyone you feel "threatened" by in the street.

Mark and Melissa Hortman were devout Catholics. Renee Nicole Good was described as a devout Christian (perhaps Presbyterian given earlier mission work?) Yet only Charlie Kirk gets to be remembered as a “martyr”

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

That video of the MCC pastor yesterday, where ICE kept asking him if he was scared yet, and he kept saying they will not scare him.

I don't think I can watch it but I've not heard or seen one thing that causes me to question my immediate first conclusion.

They tell you conflicting things so they can say you’re not listening to them and kill you either way.

Jamelle Bouie posted a great video about how he's not going to engage with anyone claiming Good's murder was self-defense, or she was trying to ram the ICE officer with her car, etc. I think that's exactly right. It is not good for the human soul to humor or debate bald-faced, knowing lies.

I'm not seeing this anywhere and some of you maybe need to be medicated

"'You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added about his son," who just shot someone in the face seven times.

I would be shocked if he didn't.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as long as you Comply

He's gonna take her Nobel Peace Prize and give her jack shit. She will never run Venezuela. No one capable of running a country would abase themselves in this manner

A silver lining of this administration is watching am endless parade of people debase themselves for a mirage of power or influence, in a way I'm confident I'll never do

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

"you shouldn't run away or obstruct law enforcement!" Maybe, but neither of those things are capital offenses, as it happens.

every JD Vance tweet is written in the absolute worst millennial way possible with none of the basic underlying humanity, they're all like: Hi. Vice President here. You think Somalis are eligible for driver's licenses? Okay, uhh, you might wanna take se-vuh-ral seats 🧵:

It sure would be a major coincidence if the people CBP shot at just happened to perfectly undergird the administration's narratives both regarding the Maduro coup and its military occupation of American cities

Vance has never, ever been in any position to run as Donald Trump's anointed successor and win an election 2028. His sole route to the White House runs through Trump's left ventricle.

Completely true, and I don't know how it shakes out when the base is waaaaaaay out ahead of their party representatives.

Like the bible says: live by the sword, no worries

Shut up, Josh.

A friendly reminder that no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty in a hostile incident. The industries that illegal immigrants often work in — like landscaping and construction — are far more deadly and dangerous work than being an ICE officer.

"Jeffries and Schumer declined to say whether they would use their authority to rein in ICE. Democrats hope to take back the majority in at least the House in November. Jeffries later clarified that he was focused mostly on extending subsidies for the ACA’s health insurance marketplace."

This needs to happen, and the only way it happens is if we're prepared to treat as null and void the inevitable blanket pardons. A coherent account of how and why they're invalid, and the political will to do what it takes to make that stick.

do you think ice agents go home and their spouse is like "how was raiding day care centers today honey" and theyre all like "ugh got bogged down trying to cover up a murder for my coworker"

It will feel so good when the Army Corps is tasked with its implosion.

This feels exactly right to me: we, too, are living in a moment where it will drive you insane not to scream that all of this is evil.

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*????????? This is a joke right ? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I contend that they aren’t manufacturing evidence to convince people in reasoned and logical argument. They are manufacturing props to be used in a fantasy performance among people who collectively agree with the make-believe narrative of that performance.

I go back and forth between being positive these guys will never face an ounce of justice, versus the assurance that they will fall... and hard.

This is the angriest I can remember feeling in a very long time. They'd happily shoot my wife, my sister, or my mother in the head and lie about it to my face.

I would bet most former Nazis died still Nazis.

You'll pry my OG food pyramid with the little fats and sugars dots and the 10-14 daily servings of grains from my cold dead hands

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

Jesus. Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis. You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

I just want to name how bizarre the feeling is to be in ministry right now, to face down my annual spirited tongue-lashing about how few Christmas carols we sang during Advent, while Herod keeps on massacring the innocents.
