"You can't have guns." Where my 2A folks at

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.

Today we remember the Holocaust, not as distant history, but as a warning. It was made possible by propaganda, scapegoating, and the acceptance of injustice.
By institutions not resisting. We must remain vigilant — especially when familiar patterns begin to reappear. Never again. Hold the Line.

"Each item is a trace of a person the Nazis intended to eradicate. Preservation thwarts those genocidal aims, even in the smallest of ways." As Holocaust survivors dwindle, it's even more important.

Incredible lead anecdote on the backlash at r/catbongos

What Minneapolis residents have done this month in terms of organizing and community response is as remarkable as anything I've ever seen

“To adopt the language of Second Amendment enthusiasts, perhaps the only thing that can eventually stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a camera.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/o...

Sample quote from an early review of MELANIA, courtesy of The Guardian www.theguardian.com/film/filmblo...

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Write Schumer - he needs an avalanche www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/mess...

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.” So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

"Lauren, when you're done dancing in an outfit that a 12-year-old bought from The Limited in 1995, can you please talk to Penis Head about the importance of foreign correspondents?" pagesix.com/2025/12/29/c...

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911! “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months. He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

I don't think @reuters.com posted it here, but I'm just kind of shocked that anyone working in media could have gone into the second Trump administration thinking, "I don't think in those first few days we understood what an organized agenda they had." They made a 900-page playbook, Sally!

Interesting just because Amy Coney Barrett probably reads the Free Press right after her Bible study.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Worth sharing again - unfortunately - particularly as reports surface about major layoffs at the @postguild.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com

Damn proud of Minnesota.

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

Wrote this paragraph 17 days ago, about the killing of Renee Good.

Whether it's Donald Trump's DHS Secretary saying that protesters deserve to be shot or a low-level Biden staffer asking Facebook to correct COVID misinformation, but sides have a checkered relationship with the First Amendment.

Wow

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

Editorial board of Murdoch’s WSJ also urging Trump to back down. www.wsj.com/opinion/time...

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

Is yesterday's ICE shooting Donald Trump's tan suit moment?

That's actually his response to Renee Good. Here's what he posted yesterday:

costco, empathy both exist.

seems like a widespread problem

“Fox News once postured as the patriotic opposition to purported government tyranny… Right now, its primary purpose is to explain to viewers why it is good that masked agents of the state are executing Americans on the street.” - @mattgertz.bsky.social www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

i know i'm just a random undergrad but it really is astounding to me how many people get paid so much money to be professional politics-knowers who just completely dropped the ball on the biggest, most important political question of a generation maybe it's arrogant but i could do better than this

Wrote about the observers. The people standing by and filming and the risk they are taking to let the world see what is happening. It's crucial and its the only way to combat the lies and blatant propaganda. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara tells CBS he has received no cooperation or official info from the federal government. "Even when our officers initially responded to the scene, our watch commander was not given even the most basic information that is typical in a law enforcement-involved shooting."

Two statements that are compatible. a. I don't think concealed carry is a good policy. b. I do not believe that someone carrying a gun in compliance with a state's gun laws gives federal law enforcement the right to murder them.

"Watching America Unravel in Minneapolis." This is oustanding journalism by a New York Times reporter. It helped me realize what is happening there, and just how bad everything is. I recommend it, which doesn't mean I endorse every line. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/m... [gift link]

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Heads Up Minneapolis! MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today. They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world
