Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating https://theonion.com/archaeologists-d-c-capitol-may-have-once-been-used-for-legislating/

I don’t know how anyone can look at what’s happening in Minnesota and think “this is a regime that intends to allow for a peaceful transition of power.”

Not presenting or not having proof of citizenship on your person is not a legal/valid basis for either reasonable suspicion or probable cause. What occurs in the video is gang violence, not law enforcement. It’s not ambiguous. It’s felonies. #KavanaughStop

Remembering when law enforcement killed a teenage girl when she tried to run away from her father (towards the police), who had killed her mother and then abducted her. sheriffs.substack.com/p/shoot-firs...

The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights

I'm not encouraging people to set up a fake Tinder/Hinge profile, go to one of the hotels where ICE are barracked, reduce the match radius and then Catfish any agents within but I am saying that it would be very easy to do.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good? This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

Five armed masked federal agents to guard a Target restroom while Greg Bovino uses the facilities. A scene equally at home in authoritarian regimes and comedies about authoritarian regimes

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

Once again, here's the actual men in women's bathrooms, ICE agents. www.rawstory.com/ice-26748732...

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

The frightening realization that a lot of people believe that AI is intelligent because they don't really understand things either. They just sort of repeat what other people say, and the more often it is said, the more true it must be. Hence, the computer is thinking just like humans do.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

By the way this press release you’d think the LASD deputy got attacked by a barista. Instead, it’s about someone allegedly drawing a pig on the deputy’s cup.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.

Donald Trump and his father were busted by the DOJ for refusing to rent to Black people. They were guilty but they avoided responsibility by aggressively litigating. It was one of the formative experiences of his life.

Also, the guy who killed someone dropped an F bomb. So the only difference between him and Frey is killing someone.

A comic from 2022 on the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

Whether it's Jeremiah Wright saying "God damn America" during a 2003 church service that Barack Obama did not attend or Donald Trump using federal forces to terrorize Americans while exploding the cost of living, both sides have shown malice toward America.

"In America, when a officer murders an innocent person, billionaires give them a cash bonus."

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”

Just saw a content-theft account reposted by someone here. A tip: if their bio says something like, “if you own the original, DM me,” you can tell they are happy to steal, mislead, and profit off other people’s work (and don’t want to be called out about it in public). Personally, I block on sight.

I feel like AI alignment people are focusing too much on making AI be good and not enough on hiding all of history from them. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/ethics-9 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

Maybe now is a good time to remind folks that Elissa Slotkin was one of the 7 Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Kristi Noem. Once you remember that, the fact that she’s making excuses for ICE and equating them with law enforcement makes a lot more sense. @slotkin.senate.gov

You either die a disruptor, or live long enough to see yourself become an incumbent

Do not trust any media outlet that keeps pretending conservatives are against government overreach

Cell phone footage shows that Renee Good tried to drive away from the ICE agent who shot her. But an AI video shows Good pledging allegiance to ISIS before plowing her car into a crowd of blonde Christian children. For busy presidents of the United States, it can be hard to know what to trust.

Portland's local quisling, Lori Chavez-Deremer (formerly my congresswoman, now Sec. of Labor and cheerleader for Trump invading Portland), is in trouble after reports emerged she's been drinking on the job and having an affair with a subordinate. You know, what Trump calls "job performance."

Unacceptable. A road — possibly associated with Tren de Aragua — left unpaved by Minnesota radicals weaponized itself against two of our courageous officers, causing one to discharge his firearm in self-defense. We stand by our brave boys.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

my man, you’re talking about the people who killed George Floyd

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement

Picard morality tip: If one side of a conflict preaches purity of bloodline above communal benefit for all, join the other side.

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.
