I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement wildly, dangerously disconnected from reality. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

This reads like salvation

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Rising Conservative Star Just Guy Wearing Nazi Armband And Crying https://theonion.com/rising-conservative-star-just-guy-wearing-nazi-armband-1849855062/

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

The Times editorial board was fine with urging readers not to vote for Mamdani and support Cuomo on the grounds that Cuomo was a ruthless operator who got things done. In a parallel universe, the Mamdani coverage would be that he is weak and feckless, unable to assert leadership. He can't win.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

Holy shit. The Biden DOJ investigated Ilhan Omar???

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Resign. Retire. Rfuck outta here.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti. The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel. What’s more: Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

Following this exclusive (and excellent) piece from David, I've contacted the federal government to ask if they intend to continue subsidizing JSI Telecom in the future. I've also contacted JSI Telecom for comment, adding them to the list of Canadian businesses working with ICE who I've contacted.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

It is absolutely by design. Theyr’e tired of white people sympathizing with Black and brown folks. That’s why they’re so mad and confused in Minnesota. All the nice white people yelling at them to get fucked. It’s like their dads are yelling at them in a bathrobe. They can’t cope.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

These people are pure evil they kill because they want to and they will kill again and again and again until they are stopped Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Abolish the Republican Party.

the guy in the gray jacket has Alex Pretti's gun and is this far away when the first shot is fired. this is a plain as day execution.

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security? Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis? They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now. They lie like they breathe.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

you need to know there was an X Files FMV adventure game and it had SEVEN DISCS and it was laid out so that interviews were on one disc, so you had to switch discs like every few minutes it was glorious and i loved it. and of course noped out like 3 hours of infinite disc-switching in

All the evidence one would need to impeach both Rubio and Noem was just posted to the AAUP v. Rubio docket. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

state-sponsored child trafficking

Time was, you saw a guy who looked like this and assumed he cried too much, jacked off a ton, had been kicked out of a few coffee shops for leaving manifestos etc and went about your day. Then the Big Bang Theory became the biggest show on TV and now these guys banded together to become Ultra Hitler

Minneapolis, today. Note how three agents holding the civilian down. Why spray? www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

They need all protestors to be paid operatives because they cannot abide the possibility that somewhere in the world, people sincerely believe in standing up for others. It isn’t enough that they’ve chased all moral virtue from their own hearts. They want a world where no virtue exists in anyone.

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

This is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.

AIPAC spends hundreds of millions buying primaries across the country. Now they’re trying to buy mine.

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.

When do you think we will reach a point where no one is on social media wondering why cops aren’t arresting ICE Like we have to get that point soon, yeah? Because come on, y’all. You can’t possibly look at what cops have been doing to Black people for decades and think cops are the answer.
