When did high schoolers stop being considered children? Listen to the trauma- it’s in his voice shaking with a mixture of rage and disbelief that this is America.

What this administration is doing is accelerating and building on what already existed. This is disorienting, I know. We have to do what we can to protect each other locally while we also seriously address the foundational issues. This country has to disempower policing. I hope people understand now

Now the brutality connection in Gaza and the blue states is making sense.

Mayhaps it’s time to find that box of high school stuff in storage to read her words again. Or, maybe it’s time to pull out that old paper you wrote and change the past tense to the present tense as we find ourselves here once more. We have a lot of work to do. Keep standing up #Pink #ProudBlue

After the 2020 election, Larry Ellison joined a call to strategize on overturning the vote for Trump and donated to election deniers. Now he controls CBS and wants CNN’s parent, raising new questions this week as his influence grows. My latest in @status.news www.status.news/p/larry-elli...

This is How We Can Hold ICE and Trump Accountable for Killing Americans The Trump Administration is unleashing ICE as its personal army to terrorize, threaten, and kill its critics, including unarmed white women. Democrats have a way of fighting back. thelefthook.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...

“.. It’s fair to say that 2025 was a hiring recession in the United States,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, wrote in a note Friday. @cnbc.com @byheatherlong.bsky.social www.cnbc.com/2026/01/10/h...

Pretty much the same way the cotton gin improved slavery🙄

Excellent and persuasive work here from @asharangappa.bsky.social. Please read and share widely.

Excellent analysis of the Minneapolis murder

Smart Asha Rangappa says, "Ross moves directly in front of the vehicle, still filming as Good is reversing her vehicle. If you reasonably believe that someone is about to use their vehicle as a weapon, you simply do not get directly downrange of the weapon."

I wrote up my analysis of what Ross's movements and actions reveal about whether or not he had a "reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury" (the legal standard). I list 7 crucial moments that suggest he did not. asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

"Ross never drops his camera or stops filming, even as he is firing his weapon. This, to me, is unbelievable and especially damning." this is a really good analysis of the Renee Good killing- including a deep dive into firearms training:

I don’t live in NY, but I donated to @gtconway.bsky.social not because he’s perfect - but because we need fighters, and he has been doing that! We can quibble about policy and past mistakes later. Fight! This should be the primary filter through which any candidate is measured. Are they fighting?

Make your voice heard today!!!!! Find your local protest and be there!!!! Be safe, be smart, listen to organizers and the locals who have been doing this work!!!!! #ICEOutForGood✊✊✊✊

How ICE became the Gestapo: "Changes at DHS are part of a government-wide push by the administration away from transparency & accountability. #ThatAsshole fired 17 IGs soon after he took office. He has neutered civil-rights offices across multiple departments." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide. Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

Cool !

Catch the next episode of On With Kara Swisher this week, where @karaswisher.bsky.social and I discuss why Elon Musk wants ICE to deport me, why Grok kid p**n is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his shitty business practices, and how we can fix the mess we are in with social media and AI.

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes. You support murder.

Proposed changes to the federal definition of “waters of the United States” could strip protections from millions of wetlands, raising concerns about flooding, water quality, and state oversight. #wetlands #NC #northcarolina #waterprotections #flooding buff.ly/7OCIF3A

hell of it is, the violent federal occupation of places like Minneapolis and Portland is what right-wing loons imagined was happening in red states by Obama - but, umm, wasn't a thing

Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean. Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone." Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

What politicians do matters much more than what they say. Competent journalists know this. Yet the New York Times tells us: Yes, Trump persecutes immigrants, but look at the nice things he says! He's “keeping distance from certain hard-line immigration policies.” Good god, NYT. He’s lying.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The most chilling thing to read. “The bottom line is this: When a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep your life,” Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas said on Newsmax." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

Fascist propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and ‘realistic’ to be pitiless and violent.

“Fascism, the U.S. government document explained, “is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.” “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.”

Note, though, there's a way to break out of this. To point out that the REAL issue is the rules of engagement that Stephen Milller told Greg Bovino to use. You get rid of those rules of engagement you get rid of about 75% of the assaults on peaceful people.

But, but for decades our corporate legacy mainstream media has been asserting that the Republican Party is the pro-business political party.

This will not work operationally unless the HQ is inside Ukraine, near the front, and subordinated to Ukrainian command. You’ll also need 10k soldiers for rotating + 10k for logistics. This whole op covers 10% of the need. Do the math on the cost of this for 10 years. It’s not sustainable.
