I would be a really, really good agent of chaos. But morals, conscience, ethics, etc.

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

The gov't has zero credibility and should be treated as such ("different accounts" gives them too much credit). They want us/media in a "debate" of the facts so that less are talking abt impact and response. Their lies are both strategic (shape the public discourse) and tactical (shift blame).

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

The victim of today's ICE shooting in Minneapolis is the 5th person to be shot and killed by federal immigration agents since President Trump began his crackdown last year. This is the 19th time they've opened fire. We're tracking incidents here:

If we ever come out of **this**, I hope every person with any culpability in the terror fed law enforcement is imposing on our communities gets prosecuted and thrown in jail. There is no "just following orders"; these ppl are making choices and they will one day be held accountable for those choices

1) Doesn’t say he was wielding it, just that he had it. 2) Doesn’t match the video anyway. 3) DHS has lied in exactly this way after shooting someone before. bsky.app/profile/ms.n...

JUST IN: The incident, which was caught on video, marks the second deadly shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in less than a month.

DOJ targets now include victim Renée Good’s widow, Gov. Walz, and Mayor Frey—but not shooter Jonathan Ross.

The groundwork for Trump’s free speech crackdown was laid by the War on Terror.

When newly pregnant Ciji Graham visited her cardiologist, her heart was pounding at 192 beats per minute. “I can’t feel like this for 9mo,” the 34-year-old wrote to her friend. “I just can’t.” New, @propublica.org by Lizzie Presser & Kavitha Surana

Went to Peet's at 6:30. They were inexplicably closed. I tried to go to my building's coffeeshop at 7:30. Was just turned away bc they have new hours and now don't open until 8 (used to be 7). Is the universe is trying to tell me I don't need coffee today...? Bc wtaf.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

(Rhetorical question) What's the point of paying for cable AND internet if the cable doesn't work when there's an internet outage?

Intelligence agencies should be recruiting from the beyhive. The dots these ppl connect, the things they find significant or meaningful, the pattern recognition in the seemingly obscure....so much talent. The next generation of intelligence analysts is in the hive. Trust.

I'd like to sue carryout restaurants that allow you to order online, provide you a pick-up time, and then don't start to prep your order until you arrive. The pick-up time is literally false advertising. This might be my origin story as a plaintiffs class action lawyer.

I think donuts have appetite stimulants in them. Whenever I eat a donut for breakfast, I am always so much hungrier around lunchtime (and ready for lunch earlier). I can't prove it, but there are dots to be connected...

From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

It can take an incarcerated person weeks of strenuous work to afford even just a stick of deodorant. Story via @vera.org.

Across New Jersey, bomb threats at multiple polling locations have prompted closures and relocations today

In a shocking reversal, Trump said federal food benefits won’t be distributed during the shutdown, despite a court order

Reggie Williams was walking to a corner store when armed authorities aggressively asked him if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana, he said He and other Black Memphis residents have been reporting harassment by Trump’s police task force: "I don't feel safe"

There's no irritation like what I feel when I agonize over an email I send only to have the recipient come back with a two-letter answer. I know this is maybe a sign of success for some, but I want engagement. Match my energy, puh-lease.

Duolingo switching to this energy sh!t doesn't feel like a good sign😬. If they think limiting user's energy is going to force them to upgrade to a paid tier, they're prob abt to learn an easy lesson the hard way.

Protesters break out in “Lock Trump the fuck up” chants:

Girl bossing a little too hard these days

I can't for the life of me understand how gyms requiring 30-day notice for cancellations isn't a deceptive and abusive practice. Regardless of terms, there's no reason a f***ing gym needs 30 days' notice. I don't have the energy to fight this fight, but it pisses me off.

5p is the witching hour it seems.

Shout out to the flight attendant that gave me free gin and asked if I was over 21. Flattery and free booze can get you far in life. Praying that that guy gets #blessed.

If you get crazy with me, I'm gonna get crazier with you. My intrusive thoughts def lean towards chaos and that's prob why I've never been put in charge of anything of consequence lol.

Me to Google News: I'm marking Not Interested on Big Brother topics. Please don't spoil the show for me. Google News: Maybe she wants a push notification telling her who won this week's HoH before the episode had even aired. I swear Google is driven by the singular desire to PMO.

Whoever said, "Let's turn on this [creepy] location thing for everyone on IG" must've been deep under the influence bc WTAF were they thinking?!?!

Sometimes ppl just need space to feel what they feel and not be pressured to feel differently. Not every moment calls for a sermon; just let the ppl be.

The DOJ extortion remains quite shocking. Like "jaw on the ground" shocking.

I get that there's a lot at stake (and a lot of collateral damage) when highly visible ppl take a stand against authoritarianism. But I stand by my belief that none of the things you hope to save by conceding/appeasing tyrants will matter if the tyrant wins.

There are many reasons to abandon Google, but them installing random sh*tty apps on my phone every time the Android system "requires an upgrade" might be the final straw. Does Apple do that?

We're really stretching the idea of "defense"

I need to get better at telling ppl to go f*** themselves (professionally). I tend to be deferential to more senior ppl at work when I really need to say GFY. Their subpar judgment makes me question my at-par (or better!) judgment and creates a ton of add'l work for me and others.

I will have been OOO for 2 weeks when I go back to work on Monday. That is the longest I've gone without working in a very, very, very long time.....like maybe since I started working at 16. Hoping to maintain my vacay zen for at least 2 weeks.

"I don't like to talk about politics" is code for "idk what is going on but I have deeply held (but also deeply uninformed) opinions." Not sure I can be convinced otherwise

What do we think about people who only listen to books describing those books as "being read"? It makes me itch in the same way ppl say "sorry to hear that" when you share bad news over text/email.

Genuinely hate whatever tf Samsung has done to my phone.

Some of these news outlets are waiting for an EO declaring a constitutional crisis. Pretty sure that's not how constitutional crises work. It almost feels like one of those situations where the very need to ask the question provides the answer.

I'm sitting in the waiting area of a cardiology office and this elderly woman is talking abt how she can't wait to go home, smoke a cigarette, and have an espresso. Made me chuckle. The seniors DGAF.

I will never file another tax return again if they do this. Hell, I might not file another again either way bc what is the point 😫

So I have a doc appt tomorrow and the healthcare provider has broken it into two separate appointments--each with its own copay. Bullsh*t.

I need to find an outlet to express my trash tv takes and adulting woes (like taxes). This is currently my outlet for more serious topics and I really don't want to mess up my feed with a bunch of b.s. lol.
