damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch" ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

It annoys me so much when this dorkass loser does his whole Foghorn Leghorn "I'm just a good ole boy from the South who don't understand these elites" schtick with that syrupy drawl he puts on. John Kennedy is NOT from the sticks. He comes from a long line of southern elites. (thread)

You know what's going to wreck the economy even more? THE ONGOING INVASION OF OUR CITIES BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It is my, granted, anecdotal impression that entire cities shut down by fear, violence, & the need to form human chains to protect toddlers DON'T CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THE ECONOMY.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

LMAO—tagging in @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social here, as a fellow Abolish DHS advocate.

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good. Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

Naaaaaaailed it

"Let them eat a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing."

Leonardo DiCaprio has stopped using Wikipedia.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Who among us hasn't sold stolen oil and stashed the profits in a bank in the country that bailed out our son-in-law's building at 666 Fifth Avenue?

It worked so well for Michelle Obama and school lunches.

This is why you can't afford RAM anymore

Who the fuck serves broccoli with corn tortillas?

Why do they keep letting him around children?

He’s a pussy little bitch who’ll do anything to keep from doing what’s right for his constituents.

I want to talk about a dystopian world we are entering - where every moment, event, and crisis just become commodities. Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness. 1/ A 🧵on why our politics can't ignore this.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

The grift that keeps on grifting.

There is a lot going on in this clip. First, the premise that law enforcement has no duty to de-escalate conflict, and in fact is no more constrained against using violence than some guy getting in a bar fight.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

It still blows my mind that the UAW gets this and elected Democrats don't.

Shit. Now I wanna know more about the movies Noah mentions. How do I find those?

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Yes, we will. He’s not talking about the fraud you think he is. He’s bragging.

There's a weird kind of smugness the way these ridiculous, unprofessional, white guys interact with everyone. Sorry for existing, dude. Maybe crawl out the billionaire's asshole and go touch grass or something.

this is why people were calling for defunding the police. the police are an active fascist political force working to undermine democracy, and have been for a long time.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

A significant difference between Hitler and Trump? Hitler doesn’t appear in the Epstein files.

So, President Deferment and Secretary Podcast don’t understand what is or isn’t a war crime. Good. Good. I’m sure everything is fine.

Real Estate: You’re Bidding Against Blackstone

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Your federal government doesn’t consider your life worth including the cost-benefit analysis of pollution limits. The one you pay with your income taxes. Yeah. That one. They believe you don’t matter.

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Trump tried to overturn an election and keep classified documents as souvenirs so he got federally prosecuted, and he used this to convince his base that law enforcement was weaponized against him — and now weaponizes law enforcement against those he dislikes without them caring.

We live in a criminal empire run by Trump and the broligarchs. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Too bad it’s behind a paywall…

This man has more guts than the entire Dem caucus in Congress. Hire him, primary every motherfucking last member of Congress.

He’s starting to remind me of my elderly sibling who, no matter what happens or whatever issues we have, calls me three days later and everything’s good and everything’s fine except they’re calling from some strangers cell because their roommate went to meet a general and disappeared into thin air.

This is so fucked up.

Someone has a balloon payment due soon. Who’s following the money?

1. Russia and China aren't going to invade Greenland. 2. The USValready has the right to put as many troops in Greenand as they want under NATO. 3. The only threat to invade Greenland is from the US.

I think I broke my algorithm. It’s nice to feel pride.

They’re opposed to preventative healthcare policy because they believe they’re an intervention in the natural eugenic hierarchy, framing this as an issue of “government overreach” while they’re literally banning healthcare for disfavored groups assists in that effort.
