casual reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated seven months ago, and Senator Hoffman and his wife were seriously injured that day as well, and both of those things were outcomes that the current administration wants to happen again

Watching the media step right back into lying for the regime because the weekend is over is making me very fucking angry

this story quotes: - A trump ambassador - A museum run by Trump appointees - Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors ... aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

they declared it an unlawful assembly an hour later and broke it up with pepperballs and flashbangs, btw

hard to overstate what a shitshow it is out there even for veteran developers I have an excellent resume and during the pandemic era I was getting multiple recruiting emails a week; all of that has dried up completely and if I get laid off I expect I will struggle to find a new job

"The list of people arrested includes the pastors at First Parish Congregational Church in Portland, First Parish Congregational Church of Gorham, Bracket Memorial Church on Peaks Island and the Congregational Church in Cumberland." www.wmtw.com/article/seve...

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

"Game Changer" - you know what, I'll take it. Besides, as someone engaged in a multi-year long process of reclaiming and physically (albeit non-surgically) transforming my genitals, it kinda fits.

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

Louder for the anti-humanities crowd in the back: MATHEMATICS IS ONE OF THE HUMANITIES. It's an esoteric fine art dedicated to the pursuit of the aesthetic principle of "elegance." It's only useful by accident.

A thread bringing receipts.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture. This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

Given the headlines about Alex Pretti, I think it’s important to remind people that tens of thousands (if not more) ICE observers are in the Twin Cities and the vast majority are making it home every night. The violence is meant to intimidate, but they can’t go after a whole community.

As other folk are rightfully pointing out, this isn't a Trump plan, this is a *Republican* plan. This is what the GOP wants because: 1) along the way some rich dudes get even richer 2) MAGA/MAHA are just an extension of Christianity being a fucking death cult

trump wants to kill you. whether it’s an ICE agent shooting you, a cancer drug trial being defunded, increased air pollution, or defunding safe streets funding, the one universal thread in all of their policies is that they think the very idea of making the world a better place is a liberal hoax

Please also remember today the words of Romani Holocaust survivor Karl Stojka: “It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then believed they were the master race."

"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised." Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

I’m going to urge caution with the “targeted killing” language here. DHS has been clearly filming and IDing observers, and we’ve all assumed they’re making some kind of list of us. If Pretti had been regularly observing in any capacity, there’s a decent chance he’d been documented.

This woman took taxpayer dollars to fund a Residential School denial film and also spent money on youtube ads. It features AI video of Residential School children animated without their families consent and is filled with cherry picked data or outright lies. Just a nazi through and through

1/27/2026 - Minneapolis ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone They did not have a warrant

This is all of these guys but like how Mark Zuckerberg watched a YouTube somewhere & all the sudden had a punch perm & gold chain & tinted shades and was a judo expert who said that Facebook offices lacked male energy

But it's so unlike the Trump administration to prey on children

The thing about being made a culture war issue is that you wind up being a soldier whether you want to or not.

It feels like a tenet of Democratic Party dogma (embodied by a certain subset of poster on here) that the party can never fail the people, the people can only ever fail the party I voted Dem in every election since Gore. But I'm not a Democrat anymore and I can't promise my vote like I once did.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

It's relevant that the congressional Dems who voted to fund ICE include one of the most avowedly anti-trans reps (Suozzi) and the four who voted to support Marjorie Taylor Greene's draconian ban on lifesaving care for trans youth (Cuellar, Davis, Gluesenkamp Perez, Gonzalez).

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

Forensics tells women if they’re being abducted to fight back and take as much DNA with you as possible: scratch, bite, claw, whatever you have to do to help identify your kidnapper in the event they kill you. She just did as she was supposed to so maybe ICE should stop kidnapping people

Zuck doing his part to keep the secret police secret

I mean beautiful, beautiful level landing.

Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

“Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access AI chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions, according to internal Meta documents filed in a New Mexico state court case and made public Monday.”

This is also straight out of the anti-abortion playbook, by the way, where jeering pro-lifers get video cameras right in your face and tell you "we're gonna make you famous" and you know that that's a death threat signal for the murderer segment of pro-life activists Had that done to me a few times

New: DHS now says that two weeks of missing surveillance footage from ICE's Broadview Detention center isn't "missing," it was never recorded in the first place and thus can't be produced in an abuse lawsuit. An utter shitshow: www.404media.co/dhs-says-cri...

There were a few hours there last night when it felt like the administration was in damage control & they were signaling "It was never meant to go this far." Then you can really hear the moment Stephen Miller's coffin creaked open and he came out screaming "DOUBLE DOWN" before drinking a child dry.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

It's been understood for a long time (always?) that the 2nd Amendment was only real for cishet white Christian men. But the Trump Administration is just saying it with their whole chest: if you're not aligned with MAGA the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to you.

If you're resistance, if you're opposing something much larger than you - your biggest resource is morale. Celebrate your wins no matter how small, because they are proof, because Gods don't bleed, because every small win underlines that the struggle might be there tomorrow, but it is not forever.

If you read this in a sci-fi novel, you’d think it was too heavy handed with its dystopian imagery. The IBM quote about a machine not being able to to be held accountable, and thus not being empowered to make managerial decisions, clearly applies.

The guy genuinely gave a shit. And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

I work in a pretty big corporate environment and we've never had "pronoun circles". If somebody gets a pronoun wrong, they're corrected and we move on with life. It's always a non event until it isn't, which is usually some religious bigot who wants to insist on misgendering somebody.

basically a collection of weiss's friends and pet projects

I love how conservatives will shriek about DEI and affirmative action and then transform any organization they’re in charge of into a make-work program for their stupidest most unemployable friends.

Heated Rivalry gang! Form up! For @theflytrapmedia.com, I wrote about how I saw my own queer athlete closet reflected back to me in Heated Rivalry in the most amazing way possible. www.theflytrapmedia.com/icy-hot-heat...

I believe the US Holocaust Museum, having come under the control of Trump appointees, has been compromised. Every Jewish person I know personally has understood “never again” to have broad not narrow meaning. This is another attempt by MAGA to make Jewish Americans scapegoats for MAGA bad actions.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I reached out to Raygun to confirm if they were told directly that ICE was expected in Des Moines today. Response from their owner, Mike Draper:
