Let’s be honest about what’s happening. He’s talking about taking control of how elections are run, after losing elections he didn’t like. Our elections are run locally on purpose. Decentralization protects voters from intimidation, political interference, & power grabs by any one administration

This thread from a civil-attorney-turned-immigration-attorney due to the ICE/CBP surge in Minnesota is illuminating and enraging. The people carrying this out, as well as those who stand idly by and let it happen, deserve to rot in hell.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

As your rep, I would move to impeach and convict Pam Bondi. No one, not even the Attorney General, is above the law when they shield the powerful and ignore victims seeking justice. Article can be found on NBC News: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Intolerable. Unjust. Tyrannical. Evil. Liam Ramos was just the tip of the iceberg. And elected Republicans support it. The party of child concentration camps.

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Decent people see friendship as a matter of mutual respect and support, with reciprocal obligation borne out of decency. Trumpists see only “do what we say or we’ll hurt you,” a disturbed 12-year-old bully’s conception of strength.

It is deeply distressing that Democrats open negotiations with "ICE should follow the constitution" the GOP is like "lol nah" and that's the story. I see people defending Democrats sometimes like "what are they supposed to do?" Our constitutional republic is falling. Act like it, for starters.

i got stuck explaining fascism to an 8-year-old who had seen the word on a protest sign. explaining gay is trivial.

Incarcerating people who have not been convicted of a crime and who are not accused of a crime is a violation of basic civil rights and the definition of a concentration camp. Locking up people because of where they were born goes against American principles. Wasting taxpayer dollars on cruelty.

There are clear parallels between the Holocaust and the current state of our country's immigration policy. For more information: www.jta.org/2026/01/30/u...

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

The only reasonable implication of saying this is he must be removed from office. That's a binary yes/no. To explicitly say no would be insane. To studiously avoid saying either way makes the allegation seem cynical and insincere. There's no splitting "he's a child rapist" from "he must be removed."

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

YUP And they partnered with Flock, too www.cnet.com/home/securit...

LEADERSHIP SUCKS. Minnesota murders, Epstein obstruction. Everyone in Congress is complicit if they're not bringing articles of impeachment. And it starts with Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Johnson. Ruin their day. citizensimpeachment.com/action/

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.

according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle

“Triple-tap” here means the IDF bombed the journalists at the hospital and then bombed emergency responders not once but TWICE:

A smaller version of this is producing a massive measles outbreak, and rumors of horrific human rights abuses. ICE is proposing concentration camps on a horrific scale.

Billionaires are a policy failure.

Why would I stop protecting my neighbors now? You’ve already fucked up my life a ton, now I gotta see this shit through.

I'm hoping shit like this helps open the eyes of people saying Chuck is doing the best he can. Do you see now why new rules or best practices (or laws!) can't be part of the ICE spending bill? It's gotta be gutted whole. It just obstinance or ignorance to stand ten toes down on it at this point

I think the Olympic ideal of peace and harmony is best captured by a room full of people, all from different countries from across the globe, booing JD Vance together. May he be greeted by such vocal harmony every day.

When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Satya Nadella has the worst case of CEO brain I've ever seen.

Important: the longstanding Department of Justice manual on election offenses emphasizes respecting states' lead role, not doing voter interviews that might chill voting, and, vitally, not seizing ballots or machines until states have certified a result. But now the manual has gone missing.

Satya has completely melted his brain on AI, and it’s ruining the company I’ve worked for for nearly two decades.

if you’re out here in February 2026 posting about how ICE is inevitably going to steal the election and that we’re all doomed, you, my friend, are an absolute weenie and by that I mean a weenie made from pig buttholes that’s sold at an off-brand gas station near an oil refinery

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."

Whoever said it was “bad faith” to assume democrats would do this every single time owes me, personally, an apology. Whoever you are you dumb geek

Chuck Schumer To Negotiate Rules For Armed Racist Mercenaries In Exchange For Funding Armed Racist Mercenaries

A+ thread on the advantages of 3D printed whistles. We don’t ship much, because our focus is meeting local need (insatiable, bottomless). With 3D printed whistles, we can connect people who want whistles directly with people who make whistles.

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it. They need to get the fuck out.

A photo of the vehicle he used for these drive-by inspections.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

if you’re not putting General Sherman in charge of the DOJ in your administration we aren’t interested

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

If a president does something impeachable and isn't impeached, then it's not an impeachable offense. He needs to be impeached for each of his crimes, one at a time, to set the precedent. Yes, a president should be removed for that. Yes, for that. And for that. And that. And that. That. That. That.

Ahem

Weird. If only there was someone with authority in Minnesota to intervene.
