This is driving me crazy. Rogan did not call ICE the gestapo. He said he can see why people say that, after saying that Renee Good was crazy and he can see the other side of the argument that Somalians were being mass imported to rig elections and “hijack democracy.”

Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon. The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Every American city needs to be prepared for occupation

NO! WE ARE DEMANDING YOU ABOLISH ICE FIRST.

Blue cities subsidize oppressive red states. Blue states subsidize red states.

After a document leak from DHS outed him, Enrique Tarrio, head of the Proud Boys militia group, acknowledged that he was now an ICE officer. www.telemundo.com/noticias/not...

"The Lord had said to me 'I want you to go to Russia, you guys are to go to Russia,'" Chantelle Hare said. "I said 'Really, Lord?' and he said 'Yeah.'" *CRYING*

How long must the liberty and prosperity of nations be beholden to the psychosexual tantrums of insecure perverts?

Leave it to Republicans to make even foreign policy pervy

Hahahahaha YES

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

WOW. This is sharp and gutting. Well done, McSweeney's What You’re Watching Isn’t What You’re Really Watching open.substack.com/pub/mcsweene...

I think we need to understand the extent to which this use of "liberal white women" is a way of saying "race traitor." They aren't attacking these women for being white but for having a lack of loyalty to whiteness.

This is kick ass!! 🇺🇸

Women protesters are "wine moms". Student protesters are "ANTIFA". Protesters of color are "thugs." The only legitimate protester is a divorced father with no visitation rights, three domestic violence convictions, four AR-15s and a MAGA hat, storming Congress over something he read on Stormfront.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Harris County officials are pushing back after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott raised a threat Thursday, saying state officials should take control of the county's elections. 

I had missed this. It appears he does.

We keep shouting, but people really need to understand how big this is. TX Republicans are attacking local elections for Harris County to bolster redistricting efforts and subvert voting in upcoming elections

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE. Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.” The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?” m.youtube.com/watch?v=lcSO...

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Anyway, the "No Kings" protest movement name may be more on the nose than anyone thought. This was fascinating to me, and I've spent two days on the podcast talking about it.

“I’m an engineer. I went to Washington State. $70,000 in student loans. And I’m doing Uber. You know what that means? I’d rather make an honest day’s living. I don’t go harassing people at work, dude. What the hell is that? All of you guys need psychiatric checkups.”

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

Rep. Doug LaMalfa,who died this morning, was one of 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election. It was defining moment of his political career—one that must not be forgotten on the anniversary of January 6.

I called it nearly a month before she announced it publicly. WOMEN KNOW THINGS

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point: The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports

Anyway, I get every side of this, but I don't secretly hate Democrats because I want them to strengthen their opposition. Zohran, those that pushed for the Epstein Files release, the Tesla protesters and No Kings all prove that loudly changing the conversation can piss off and stall these fascists.

American Lebensraum

Good news for TX

“Not having enough spend was a big pain point for me. I don’t know how else to say it.” 💀

it's not just that 2/3 of his rivals where women, liberalism itself is female-coded in us politics, so those sexist stereotypes (too irrational/ emotional) & fears will attach themselves to any leading democrat perhaps not to quite the same degree for a man, but they still will

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

As someone who grew up in red PA and did not hunt deer but won a rifle shooting Cub Scout trophy— My position is Dem politicians should lead with “the corrupt court made up a new 2nd Amendment while being bribed” as the way to explain the corruption to the public.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

The response to a local Republican who says they’re not a Trumper is to point out that they are in his party. I see it no different from a NSDAP member who claimed they weren’t pro-Hitler. A GOPer is a Trumper.

When you write, "We're Alive" on some of your holiday cookies, you're actually helping promote safety not just making everyone at the party feel unsettled, so that's one more good deed before the year ends.

Great work, MAHA Morons.

Since the Internet Archive has popped back into relevance tonight, just an FYI: It's one of a handful of tech nonprofits that have low-key become super important *in general* over the years, and perhaps especially this year.

When Bari Weiss and CBS decided to censor the report on El Salvador’s brutal prison, they didn’t realize that bootlegged copies would surface. Please share it with everyone you know and drive these fascists crazy.

NEW in this series: Between 1990 and 2021, the gun industry flooded the market with at least 717 million detachable firearm magazines that hold 11 or more rounds of ammunition, newly obtained documents show. These devices have become strongly associated with high-casualty shootings.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Good for Spain! More countries and US cities should do the same.
