The silence of US elites about this remains stunning & utterly damning.

energysky we have super bowl halftime show line workers i repeat we have super bowl halftime show line workers.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Please everyone stop what you're doing and listen to this.

Update on the government taking down the temperature

No American has to wonder what fascism looks like up close anymore. You are in it.

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.

If you’re looking for practical ways to help folks in Minnesota right now, Ashley Fairbanks has compiled mutual aid and community resources here: www.standwithminnesota.com

When you realize you used your influential platform to make this version of our country happen

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

@50501movement.bsky.social whats the plan for protests now, where should I look for one in Philly

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

@schumer.senate.gov please retire

Do you like charts? Oh yes you do. I've just published hundreds of them, as I do every year. www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations

This was always coming. This was always the plan. This is what Trump, through intermediaries, was discussing with the January 6 insurrectionists. It was only a question of timing.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

In 2025, community care has been everything. In 2026, we keep going and KEEP GROWING. Thanks to all of us, the People’s Movement is rising.🤝

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Historians many years from now will look back and wonder why we did not as a nation receive over 70% of his public statements as shockingly obvious signs of a profound mental illness The level of systematic self-delusion this man displays on a daily basis is beyond anything most of us will ever see

All those food science people who talk about how the Maillard rxn is what makes food delicious have never met a four year old.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Speaking of sensible things, @volts.wtf new solo pod episode is must-listen! 🔌💡 www.volts.wtf/p/whats-goin...

Last night, at almost 41 years of age, LeBron James put up 25 points 6 rebounds 6 assists on 60% shooting in 32 minutes of an NBA game. Last night, at almost 41 years of age, I turned too quickly to the left and now my neck hurts. We are not the same.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

It is widely agreed that robust LNG exports from the US will have the effect of globalizing the price of NG, which will in turn have the effect of *raising the price of domestic NG*. So why aren't all the "focus on affordability" people fighting LNG exports?

However much you, a politically engaged person, think the average American knows about what's going on, I can promise you: it's way less than that. No matter how low your estimation. It's lower than that.

"Please help. Please help. Please help us. We have rights, we’re citizens here, please help us" My god. This 911 call with a Chicago woman pleading for help as ICE pulls pulls people from their cars, aiming weapons at them is grotesque. Monsters have invaded our city. Monsters.

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

The US suffers from unnecessarily high "soft costs" that render rooftop solar 3-5X more expensive than in comparable economies. Here's a report on how much money US consumers could save if those costs were brought down:

And so it begins...

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists. --Hannah Arendt

A fun little game is to figure out where in the both-sides-ist New York Times paragraph below a competent journalist would have inserted the words JANUARY 6, AN ARMED INSURRECTION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES

If Andor taught us one thing, it’s that we should probably cancel Disney+ right now.
