this is disgusting beyond what i or anyone should be able to stomach and shows what we already know: that ICE is completely unreformable and needs to be abolished. that is the moderate position

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

all of the people who target and fearmonger about Ilhan are the most cowardly ghouls who are only capable of punching down at the most marginalized and vulnerable among us and her resilience only further exposes how fucking pathetic and embarrassing they are

ilhan omar is actually one of the bravest people in the world.

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

the violent normalization of racism, islamophobia, and xenophobia at work, thanks to far too many politicians of both parties. she has faced more vitriol & violent threats than pretty much anyone in politics yet you never hear the same concerns about her *safety*, i wonder why

TX is suing another blue state abortion provider; anti-abortion politicians' dehumanizing pitch to address surging maternal mortality is 'robot OBGYNs'; the language of HHS' attacks on fetal tissue research raises questions; and more:

LA SAYS FUCK ICE - billboard in Highland Park

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes. Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

You don’t need to care about celebrity news. But what you should know is that right-wing content creators have built a viral online pipeline that directs pop culture consumers—especially women—from celeb gossip to conservative news and commentary. spitfirenews.com/p/brooklyn-b...

Presenting a reading series musing on a timeless staple of digital media: The viral, narcissistic or delusional confessional essay...

Shit like this is why it’s been fuck AI from day one. Always where it was heading.

Conservative Trump fantasy is like: he’s our abusive father! And that really works for a disturbing number of people.

Last week, in response to international pressure, X announced it was restricting Grok's ability to edit people into revealing clothes. That has not stopped the rampant trend of sexual harassment via Grok edits. The culture around GenAI is firmly rooted in abuse. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-will-...

everyone always talks about Dinner Party as *the* The Office episode by for me it's The Coup ..... when Dwight randomly calls Michael "mike" for the only time in the entire series & when Michael says "we have no idea what goes on in the tiger's brain..we dont have the technology"

100 independent clinics have closed their doors since Dobbs, cutting off communities & sometimes entire regions of the US from care (like later abortion) they can’t get anywhere else. It's “a misconception” that “after bans take effect, these clinics aren’t still active in their communities":

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

josh hawley wasting his entire questioning time smirking and pressing about whether men can get pregnant the "everyone is 12 years old" theory is too real

Maybe the most insane detail to me is that the ICE agents stole his phone and sold it. Just operating with complete impunity.

finally some fucking good news

BREAKING: New York AG shuts down pro-Israel extremist group Betar US for biased harassment and threats of violence toward Arabs, Muslims and Jews. Letitia James said Betar U.S. would be forced to close its New York operations in a settlement announcement. theintercept.com/2026/01/13/b...

Louisiana AG Liz Murrill seeks to extradite *another* abortion provider, accusing them of "drug dealing"/enabling a "coerced abortion"—at a time when the anti-abortion movmt is trying to frame all medication abortions as coerced. Murrill is set to testify before the Senate tmrw re: abortion pills:

my methods may be unconventional, and they also don't work, but

There is no reforming the gestapo. There is no reforming the slave catchers. People that are talking about ICE’s “training” or that they need more should not be listened to. This is what policing is. More training = more money to do exactly what they’re doing now but more “efficiently.”

If you're wondering what kind of woman would marry Stephen Miller, here's your answer.

Governor I was not familiar with your game

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

sigh

Then why was Eric Swalwell among 75 Democrats who last year voted with Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE & call for more state/local collaboration with ICE?

bro they are SO dumb omg

the concept of being a politician/public figure and being scared off of social media (by the racist base you're trying and failing to court no less)

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother to a six-year-old boy, was murdered by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, a few blocks from her home. She was also a prize-winning poet.

One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

Based on what her mother said, she wasn’t even a protester, it looks like she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and freaked out when the ICE agents pulled a gun on her. She had young children too 😢

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...
