Look man. What can I tell you. Miller is just a fascist. We're signatories to the UN Charter. The territorial integrity of States is legally guaranteed under the UN. It's also an attack on a NATO member. We're also signatories to a treaty for the defense of Greenland. None of this is up for debate

We had to take them to court over and over in Chicago, but when it was clear the judge was going to haul Bovino in to answer for the next round of violations, the out-of-town units left. It's slow and infuriating, but it's another lever to pull that can get traction, yes.

BREAKING: Judge enters TRO blocking feds from interfering with or arresting peaceful protesters in Minnesota. Judge Kate Menendez, Biden appointee. Order: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

jesus fucking christ

This is the president pro tem of Virginia’s state Senate calling out the state’s U.S. senators for not being aggressive enough in countering Republican gerrymandering 😵 (She also turns 82 years old next week!)

Weaponization of DoJ proceeds apace

Does the Toronto Star do gift links because I’d love to more detail about how scrappy my fit is

Chuck Schumer, you will never see heaven.

The obsessive focus on meta-narratives is incredibly disingenuous. The Atlantic can write directly about The Thing, but obviously their primary interest is in interpersonal beefs with people they find annoying. At least Norman Mailer would actually punch people instead of this tedious shit.

Righteousness is no longer cringe and never should have been.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Yeah this guy was the real fuckin deal

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

If you could go back in time a couple years and show people the sort of garbage official DHS accounts now routinely post, you'd be accused of having concocted some slanderous over-the-top parody. Just a constant stream of nakedly white supremacist imagery and rhetoric.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

sharing a gift link for anyone who needs it because MAN that last paragraph is gonna get you through tomorrow defector.com/fascists-are...

this is like when I gave that bully my lunch money to recognize his commitment to taking my lunch money

Pretty striking how much braver ordinary people are than any of our elected leaders, isn’t it.

No, Kristi Noem can't make everyone at a protest prove their citizenship. Statement I just sent to a reporter

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Jesus!

The president is all-but encouraging pogroms against specific Somali-owned businesses, on the grounds that they serve customers who pay in food stamps (much like countless Walmarts in heavily Republican rural areas)

As usual, the story here isn't about "divides" or cosmopolitan elites looking down on rural populations. It is about radicalization. This woman wants violent vengeance for things that did not happen.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

This reads as correct to me and was true for Pritzker as well. We are in a really awful spot because Federal supremacy is still the law, even as the Feds are acting completely outside the law.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

my new thing lately has been to pivot the conversation to how sports gambling is way more harmful to the intergrety of sports than the three openly trans atheletes who actually exist are

Perfectly normal beginning to every great Dartmoor love story, in my experience.

they’ll blame you for being in their way even when they’re the ones who invaded the neighborhood where your baby was sleeping inside your home

Had a from question float through my mind on the commute: who in Trump's immediate orbit these days is the closest to psychologically normal? He's obviously a malignant narcissist and has packed the West Wing with similarly disordered people, so...

“Guardrails are off”: vague, uncertain, contingent “Masked man kills woman in cold blood”: laser-targeted at the libidinal and libertarian core of the American psyche

I'm guessing Miller and Trump will try to just declare that Walz is no longer governor at some point and really go all-in on the cool zone?

This is where it is going. This is what Stephen Miller is pushing to Trump. The only reason it has not happened yet is that the violence is obviously coming from state actors. There is no insurrection to control. But we are one incident away from Trump sending in the military.

My work productivity has been fine, but my reading has fallen off a cliff the past two weeks.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit

ICE threw a flash bang at a car and it had six kids in it. All six children are in the hospital now.

Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, and the UK are sending troops to Greenland as a trip wire force to deter an American invasion Senate Republicans have to stop this fucking madness and every military officer needs to disobey orders to fire on allied personnel or to invade allied territory

should include a provision that explicitly says that any order to invade is illegal

Cant say Republicans arent trying their hardest to get wiped out in November

"Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea for the U.S. to use military force to take possession of Greenland from Denmark?" Good idea: 4% Bad idea: 71% (Ipsos) 4%. He did it. He finally hit Lizardman's Constant.

We are now up to 70 co-sponsors in the effort to #ImpeachKristiNoem

/10 The ICE “reformers“ want you to eat around the cockroach. I want you to send the plate back. Stomp the cockroach.

On one hand NATO states shooting at each other isn't actually unprecedented, on the other hand it's insane that the US is nearing "Greco-Turkish relations" level of conduct

As it happens though, the framers of the US constitution did say it: in the 4th amendment, the 5th, the 10th, etc. What they didn’t provide for is federal immigration enforcement of any kind, only “a uniform rule of naturalization.” Nor did they give the federal government a plenary police power.

/2 Moderate Ken says “perhaps members of Congress should consult with people on the ground likely to encounter ICE in public under real circumstances in framing policy.” Bad Ken says “the sort of people who work in Congressional offices need to have their heads shoved in more toilets.”

Fire the fucking idiots behind this memo into the goddamn sun.
