You know things are going well, comrade, when government officials get on TV to give people austerity tips.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

The teams for World War III are Calvinball: Denmark, Sweden, Iran, Nigeria, Will Stancil, Canada, Ukraine, Brazil, transsexuals, and the second Star Wars sequel trilogy movie versus USA, Israel, El Salvador, 4chan, incels, Hungary, and Chick-Fil-A.

You get two dolls, a hunk of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a corn tortilla Golden Age!

If you see one, the most important thing to say is “WHAT’S YOUR NAME” because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn’t shout it in time, and the guy is just… gone now. I’ll never know.

I built this for fun. Not really sure what to do with it. Maybe it will be useful to people trying to understand polling. Might even be a decent teaching example. (Feedback welcome. I am not a web designer, please be kind.) poll-simulator.netlify.app

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

it's funny to see the wildly unpopular trump and his goons rip the wiring out of institution after institution without a care in the world and have NYT guys and congresspeople being like whoa dudes let's not get too crazy with the abolish ice talk

Clearly serving on a school board is evidence of “domestic terrorism.”

take a second to really wrap your head around this.

Looking forward to all of the decorum police jumping all over this one

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”

As others have noted, "Abolish ICE" is in positive territory without Democrats even pushing the message. If they actually leaned into this, they could easily move that number much higher.

The epitaph of the great architect Christopher Wren reads "If you would seek his monument, look around you." That's the way to think about Third Way, the DLC, New Labour, etc etc etc. If you want to see what taking their advice and putting them in charge accomplished, look around you right now.

Yesterday: the state of Minnesota sues to stop the federal invasion, alleging it’s a campaign of retribution Today: Trump says it’s a campaign of retribution

It's a key tell that Rep Dan Goldman is now talking about ICE abolition. I think his framing provides the basis for a party-wide consensus on this: newrepublic.com/article/2051...

I read this and wondered if I was experiencing a stroke. I'm still kind of wondering

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

*record scratch* yup, that's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation. well im a big piece of shit

"ICE agents suck and should be prosecuted, and ICE should have its funding cut" is now the majority sensible moderate centrist popularist abundance third way blah blah blah position. Anyone who says otherwise—as many 'data-driven' 'liberal' pundits still do—is really just MAGA without the hat.

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.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

I understand the hesitance for Dems to adopt Abolish ICE as a nonnegotiable in their platforms because “should there be a racist, unaccountable paramilitary organization that kills liberals” polls very well with people who will never understand any circumstances vote Democratic

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away. Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

At this point, the American public is entitled to adverse inference regarding the Epstein files. In other words, you should assume that they are as bad for Trump as they could conceivably be.

Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?

Sexualized deepfakes created without a subject’s consent = “Racy”. @kateconger.com @nytimes.com

Wild that Indiana is going to finally win a national football championship in the year that IU’s leaders & the state’s government decided it was no longer a serious research university.

“They need better training” is just the liberal way of wanting nothing to change but also wanting to feel good about nothing changing

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

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-...

we all know what the *real* manly cereal is

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

When you guys run into these dipshits you gotta be shouting stuff like "hey man how come you aren't a real soldier, couldn't get that mile time under 15 minutes?" the whole reason they're joining ICE is because they're cripplingly aware of their inadequacy, hit them where it hurts

i am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the supporters of a shitty bill rooted in the same failed logic as abstinence only sex education, who are plainly interested in controlling kids rather than protecting them, are continuing to post on a platform that's actively publishing child abuse material

I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Starting to think that as society we didn’t consider how slippery the legalized gambling slope would be

Such a misleading headline - by the accounts I've read it was a traffic stop unrelated to protests (I know on its face could be read as two co-occurring but separate things, but.. Come on)

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

It blows my mind that any of these people are able to trade individual stocks. Park your money in a blind trust or an index fund. If you want to play Wolf of Wall Street, find another job.

They are very small, in multiple ways.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
