With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

ICE would be single-handedly defeated by Kevin McAllister

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Immigration officers received a "legal refresher" reminding them that personal insults and rude gestures are legal, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

Tonight marked the last broadcast of PBS News Weekend for the foreseeable future. As the show signs off the air, anchor John Yang looks back at some of our top stories and highlights over the years. https://to.pbs.org/4pxYe7W

Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

This is what I meant by the logic behind Trump's lawlessness being sticky. This is obviously top-notch trolling by Gallego, but I'm also seeing people saying, "Yeah, we should do this!" But even for someone as awful as Bukele, it would still be illegal under international law.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

This is mainly an imperialist cricle-jerk at the moment.

Anyway, it's hard to see how this makes the US more secure. And I can't help looking at the pictures of this massive naval deployment and thinking about how much it cost relative to giving Ukraine what it needs to defend itself. 10/10

Ladies and gentlemen, the first Official Pop-Tarts Toast of Bowl Season!

This. Jews are no more to blame for the actions of Israel than Muslims are to blame for the actions of ISIS. Collective blame is bigotry.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there. A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

This decision is a big deal because one of the things that defeats probable cause is community ties. That means it’s going to be much harder to snatch up people with established lives here. One decision can’t help everyone, but this will help a lot.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.

Exactly. The operator isn't getting an order to "kill these drowning men," they're being told "strike grid coordinates XYZ" The people who *know* need to be held accountable, and that's pretty senior.

Sort of noteworthy that in a field typically full of complex hypotheticals and heavy on fact-specific circumstances, I've really not seen any serious IHL/LOAC voices argue these strikes are anything but virtually certainly unlawful

Disturbingly similar fact pattern to Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, a German U-boat commander, who was tried, convicted, and executed after the war for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman sunk by U-852.

You know what food I hate? Your personal favourite food. Inedible garbage.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

In a world in which people with too much power and influence desperately need to be told and to understand when they are wrong, we are suddenly all inescapably drowning in sycophancy machines.

This would have been a great idea, but the White House theater was located in the East Wing…and alas, it’s gone.

lol last night was a rerun

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

Prescient

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. The word for "books" translates as "talking leaves" in Cherokee

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from using furloughed employees’ email accounts to broadcast partisan messages about the shutdown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

you ever have a shitty time and then a small compliment or interaction from a stranger completely turns your day around? you can be that stranger for others. i just think that’s Neat

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

FUCK WHY DID YOU GUYS LET ME TRY THIS IVE NEVER BEEN SO STRESSED IN MY FUCKING LIFE

Yes, yes, but how does that relate to the one thing I'm obsessed with

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”
