Being upset about vandalism in response to extrajudicial murder is THE WRONG TAKE

Jesus Christ I had to look up if this was actually a podium she spoke in front of because I honestly could not believe they would be this incredibly bold. I thought it would be AI or photoshop or something. unfortunately it is real.

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

It’s racism, not about “immigration.” You can’t get any less immigrant than indigenous.

In honor of Bob Weir, a live track from 1977 at Winterland in San Francisco. Jerry Garcia sings, but I love the way his and Bob’s guitars interact in this one:

“A crowd of hundreds also gathered at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to form a human banner spelling ‘IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT.’” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... #ICEOutForGood

ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10.

Chanting “Trump is a pedo.” Police are giving warnings to protesters to exit the roadway at 8th Street

About 30-40 folks in front of the J.J. Pickle Federal Building (which houses an ICE processing center) in Austin on a third night of protest in solidarity with Minneapolis and Portland. State troopers and APD have formed a police line in front of the building. 🧵 #ICEOutForGood

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

This is insane. Brooks says everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows. Then the host asks him what it shows and he refuses to answer. “Left and right are equally to blame for everything all the time” is also an ideology!

Pedocon theory on a longer dynasty run than the 1990s Chicago Bulls

We’ll get this list sorted out then make it super public. Serve ICE Gestapo at your own financial peril, friends! We will not forget.

I am often highly critical of Christianity in this country, but this is absolutely badass, and brings tears to my eyes. THIS is what Jesus would do.

LMAO

COACH KERR: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Aw, sad news. I was never a massive deadhead but I grew up and went to high school near their HQ in San Rafael and it was cool for the Dead to be the respected town elders. I love a lot of their ‘70s live stuff and their “sure you can tape our concerts” ethos. Punk in a way, before punk. R.I.P. Bob.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Technically Douthat is only describing a chronology, rather than outright claiming cause and effect, but the chronology is false on its own

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production

This is an amazing report which explains a lot about the video Jonathan Ross took, and which to me, introduces the idea of a level of premeditation: that he was putting himself in position to fake a threat and shoot the driver who so annoyed him.

🧵 LICE and their chud supporters will continue to destroy people’s lives, but we outnumber them and we will defeat them.

I feel like I have pretty normie-ass politics! The Overton window has just fully moved into full-blown out-in-the-open nazism in such a way that my firm belief that citizens shouldn’t be publicly executed by an agent of the state on a whim is framed as a debatable position!

As the poet said, “If the Naomi be Klein, you’re doing just fine. If the Naomi be Wolf, oh buddy, oof.”

Year 6, day 1. 🌳🌳 #AustinFC x StDavidsHC

Why does the mainstream Democratic response to authoritarian violence always have to be abstracted like this? defector.com/how-hard-is-...

Thinking about the ICE atrocities and unfortunately seeing people defend them online it occurs to me that “obey or die” is actually more moderate than what conservatives believe. What conservatives believe is that armed agents of the state have the right to kill anyone they don’t like with impunity.

Pedocon theory confirmed yet again

LICE

Proposal: Let’s refer to ICE agents as LICE. They are vermin and it rhymes.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

"This is not a time to hide from the facts," says Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey. “They’re calling the victim a domestic terrorist. They’re calling the actions of the agent involved as some form of defensive posture. We know that they’ve already determined much of the investigation.” No pay wall.

ICE apparently lacks capacity to oppress more than one city at a time. This is performative authoritarianism. performative authoritarianism that has killed people, yes. It’s not a joke. But it is also incapable of any sort of meaningful authoritarian consolidation. They lack the numbers to win.

Texas, a state that once sued another state under the guise of “states’ rights” so its wealthiest residents could travel to their vacation homes in defiance of COVID lockdowns, has turned over its entire voter roll to federal government without a fight. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Reminder that you’re probably older than the Department of Homeland Security, a post 9–11 entity

Congress can force ICE to release documents like these at any time, but doesn't because they do not do their jobs

The business model proposed in “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” strikes me as fundamentally unsound.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Albuquerque, NM DHS agent- Brett Allan Cutts, was one of the main instigators of violence. He chased (and ran out of breath after about 10 ft) & pushed women around and then dramatically fake coughed at protesters like it’s a 2020 covid protest or something 🤦🏻

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Republicans are trying to kill us and Democrats are desperately trying to save Republicans. Quite the political system we have.

Kristi Lynn Noem's favorite lie "we're just enforcing the law" begs a natural followup question: "but are you breaking it?" the answer is YES. yes they are. repeatedly and unabashedly. 🎩 @sanho.bsky.social

I sorta feel like the indigenous people of North America would agree with you on this one, buddy

Woke is back. The president is doing land acknowledgments. 😂

The White House is reportedly discussing paying everyone who lives in Greenland anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per person if they secede from Denmark. This is apparently what putting Americans first looks like. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

JD links to a shortened version of the video that doesn't include the 3rd shot fired (when the vehicle is driving away) and the shooter calling her a "fucking bitch." Here is the longer video: bsky.app/profile/meid...
