MINNESOTA SHUTDOWN: Clergy have blocked the road in front of Terminal 1 at MSP while a crowd of thousands sings "before this campaign fails, we'll all go down to jail, everybody has a right to live." Photos are members of UNITE HERE 17 who've been abducted. I'll be updating here throughout the day.

I just thought everyone should see this

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

They know their audience has an insatiable appetite for seeing black women humiliated for exceeding their station, so when it didn’t happen they used AI to complete the fantasy bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Oh, I'm still determined to try

This kid is awesome, actual hero.

I can't believe I have to keep knowing about this dumb asshole

good read from @aftermath.site aftermath.site/star-trek-sk...

another good reminder that frey sucks and has always sucked and no amount of press conferences with cusses can change what his actual actions are

Minneapolis, after the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

Sam Altman should be bankrupted and in jail, held criminally and financially responsible for the suicides and murders.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Bluesky just added a frankly gross feature to its iPhone app (Dig in to the thread to see, but basically: Screenshots of the Bluesky app now differ from what was on the screen at the time you took the screenshot?! Bluesky invented?? A screenshot that lies?!)

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

I have some more bad news. If an admissions committee even suspects you used ChatGPT for your application letter, they'll almost certainly decide not to waste a precious admissions spot on you. Instead they'll give it to, you know, someone who actually likes to write and knows how to do it.

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

The Guardian doing inexplicable voluntary free public relations work for a corporation profiting from sexual abuse by headlining this as the image gen being "turned off". It isn't off: they've just monetised it. What the fuck are we doing here people, come on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Holy fuck they actually did it

How grotesque the mixture of ambivalence and retreat into useful lies has been to see from news shows , bigots , bots and right wing politicians talking about Renee Nicole Good

another cobyline with @lopatto.bsky.social: we think polymarket is somewhat problematic. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

Zero surprise. RFK Jr et al = hypocrisy machine. Promise: transparency, good science, & NO conflicts. Reality: LESS transparency, NO science, & MORE conflicts. Panel behind new dietary guidelines had financial ties to beef, dairy industries www.statnews.com/2026/01/07/n... @statnews

Dring a time when experts and trans folks both are issuing warnings about trans genocide, and queer folks in general are ever more under attack, this is acutely dangerous. If a kid isn't telling their parents something so basic, it's because they've made a risk assessment about it.

John Horgan, I'm real sorry you're dead and I respect that you were the BC premier but you are wrong

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

I was hoping when large media covered Mobile Fortify, the ICE facial app we revealed in June, it would add substantial information. Instead this front page WSJ piece rehashes our reporting, presents it as new attributed to officials, and forgets to capitalize M in 404 Media bsky.app/profile/cori...

As someone who's appreciated good takes from both Matt and Parker for like a decade, this is a good thread.

He affirmed support for getting someone in Venezuela who will sell it off to the highest bidder. Trudeau hosted Guaido, now Carney is trying to legitimize Machado so the US doesn’t get the only crack at Venezuela’s resources.

Carney is a sycophantic coward without conviction of any kind.

Yes. Regrettably, unfortunately, yes.

The death toll is now 80? I know the pandemic made life cheap amid mass death, but 80 dead is staggering

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Obviously the fact that Musk and his team have facilitated the widespread generation and dissemination of CSAM is as awful as it is predictable, but the fact that so many news sources are quoting Grok's "acknowledgement" of the issue is so absurd on its face that it makes me want to cry.

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026. store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?
