Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

We've got a verdict in this case, in which feds accused a Chicago resident of murder-for-hire, allegedly for a $10K hit on Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino. Attorneys coming in now, jurors haven't returned to the courtroom.

tapping the sign for the 7 Dems who voted for the DHS appropriations bill

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

If I were guessing, I would think that OK, LA and KY aren't on this list *because they already had robust voter suppression measures enshrined in law* before 2010.

Mill has a bunch of banger quotes that are very relevant right now. This one particularly. The part in the yellow box is just funny.

State AGs are fighting mad. So, anybody saying that criticism of Dem Congressional "leadership" is inappropriate or wrong-headed can get super fucked.

Amazing sob story: "ChatGPT deleted all the work I hadn't done" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The problem with JD Vance is, to quote Krusty the Clown, that the pie gag is only funny when the sap's got dignity, and everyone can tell that Vance has no dignity. Everything comes off as skin-crawlingly inauthentic no matter what the context is. It's like watching someone try to wear a skin suit.

Just got an unsolicited “recruiter” contact for a role with “Palantir of life sciences”.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to step back and ask yourself whether you’re arguing with someone’s political position or their personality disorder

Let’s all just sit with this analogy, for a bit.

"The GOP made your healthcare unaffordable, your groceries more expensive, and childcare non-existent to enrich themselves and fund a fascist occupation to murder, kidnap, and arrest US citizens. Immigrants, illegal or not, didn't take your jobs away or destroy careers. Rich people did."

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

"we'll look weak and out of touch" ICE is underwater with non-college whites including 41% "strong disapprove" there's no polling to hide behind, if you're not willing to fight here it's because you don't want to, not because it's a losing fight

More meritless lawsuits filed by the sitting President of the United States over his feelings being hurt.

Anyone, Bueller…?

Yeah, it’s almost as if the Democratic Party has never seriously represented its base, who are left of absolute center, and radically left of this iteration of the Overton window.

For any of you that have contact with people that voted for this, have any of them come to the realization that they voted for Nazism?

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Pappardelle with my pseudo Bolognese

A scruffy white kid named Cole just helped me at Discount Tire and his voice sounded exactly like a Tim Meadows character. Think Ladies’ Man without the lisp.

Huck is relaxing #corgicrew

Is he just a coward or totally bought and paid for?

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?

“I’m very worried about all this Somali corruption.”

Dear world: Please sanction us. Please blockade us. Please boycott us. Please pull every peaceful lever you have to mess us up and crash us out. Thanks in advance.

“why are you still on twitter” -> whiny, makes you sound like a scold “oh you post on the pedophile app” -> makes them sound like a pedophile

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

“At least six career staffers at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were suspended with pay this summer after organizing a polygraph test that the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, failed.” 12/21/25 www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

We’re told America is “the greatest” because of GDP and military power—while we die younger, go broke from illness, drown in debt, and imprison our own people. That’s not greatness. That’s denial wrapped in a flag.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

As someone who volunteers in local Democratic politics I want to once again remind the Bluesky community that the Democratic base is your friend, and LIGHT YEARS ahead of the national party leaders on literally every issue

unfortunately the 19% of democrats who oppose abolishing ice are all elected officials

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

Make no mistake, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Andersson, RJK Jr, Mehmet Oz, Linda McMahon, DOGE members, billionaires, tech oligarchs & the Supreme Court collaborated to destroy the federal science workforce.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

10 years of this shit

Good.

WFH lunch: poké bowl

If you want to meaningfully resist fascism, you need to make peace with inconveniencing yourself and being inconvenienced by others. Fascism relies on you privileging your individual comforts over others' basic safety.

Some day I'm really going to sit down and write that "Wilhoit was right about everything and told you all you needed to know" essay.

Fascist movements are rife with third-rate intellectuals. Goebbels had a PhD and wrote a novel.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

@vienna_official today we welcome his imperial highness archduke franz ferdinand to sarajevo. unity, stability, progress. @pan_slav_posting wild that austria thinks this is a good idea but ok

Cutting off tourist visas would actually be a very mild sanction that avoids hurting vulnerable Americans while informing the upper middle class that this is not a reality TV show

Does anybody else get songs, song lyrics, or funny/interesting words or names stuck in their heads for a couple days, literally out of nowhere? #adhd Last week it was the Ronstadt version of Blue Bayou, today it is “Darvin Ham”.
