Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

Dems like Chris Murphy pushing ANYTHING BUT THE ABOLISHMENT OF ICE seem to love the terror that finds the most marginalized families, interning them in camps in horrible conditions where many die, as long as it silently happens in the background away from your eyes and ears.

more democrats should be pointing out that "illegal immigration" is not even a crime

He also managed to elicit a response from Prtizker, who is also Jewish and who was also vetted by Harris' team. Shapiro falsely claimed in the book he was the only Jew vetted. "The questions are tough," Pritzker said. "I think you've got to be tough during the process."

"don't start with a compromise" is the very first thing you learn about negotiation. the fact that Democrats always do exactly this is how you know they are a controlled opposition and not a serious party with beliefs or goals

Border Patrol shot someone south of Tucson this morning. Three gunshot wounds. No other details atm.

The thing about the vision of Universal Century's level of technology regularly being modernized to make sense for contemporary audiences is that we must now contend with the idea of Ramba Ral doordashing Chipotle

I seriously do think that the HCD history is important.

have not seen enough people fully processing the fact that in effect a quarter of the population of Minneapolis are out there looking out for their neighbors right now

Oh, I like this one. One cat goes one way, the other cat goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', "Whadda ya want from me?'

So ... no sanctuary for hospitals, a bunch of shit they're already supposed to do, and new tech

Just say your dog ate all the video evidence of your human rights violations and then the DHS Secretary shot the dog

Literally twelve days ago Gavin Newsom apologized to Ben Shapiro for saying that ICE was "state-sponsored terrorism" and now he's calling Bovino a Nazi? He's a power-hungry psychopath who doesn't actually believe in anything.

Most recent mountain lion update! I hope they're able to catch it without issue

In 2016-2010 the left's "purity tests" and "ice cream and ponies for everyone" demands were medicare for all and student loan forgiveness. In 2023 it's please stop a genocide.

here's @prisonculture.bsky.social "Body cameras are worse than useless." You're giving money to the system you want to shrink. "The cameras are turned on you, the citizen, not the cop." And the cops control all the footage. Read it: www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...

Consider, when you invoke Nuremberg trials for America, that many Nazis were exonerated & reintegrated into NATO by the US, and Eichmann's lawyer wasn't exactly wrong on the point that nobody ever faced trial for the genocide of Native Americans like he was for the genocide of the Jewish people.

yes, they are excited to do violence on camera and be stars. this is not a deterrent.

wild to see any Democrats “unite” around any bodycam proposal after DHS has said they’ve got multiple bodycam videos of agents killing Alex Pretti

If you've never seen FDR: A One Man Show it's truly ahead of its time. It's basically just Chris inventing a bunch of fake shit about FDR's life and intentionally doing the worst one man show possible.

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

There's something so insane about the fact that the app stores will, to the best of their ability, prevent you from accessing consensual pornography while letting pornography that is, by default, nonconsensual pass with a shrug

Right before this cold front hit Tennessee, I decided to go check a spot I hadn't gone to in 3 years and managed to turn up a Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri)! One of my favorite species ever, and one that keeps me alive during winter. #herps

uhh now what..?

money paid to workers is money that can't go into the pockets of shareholders. A high share price comes at the direct expense of the workers who are the only reason the company even exists. The stock market and workers have an inherently conflicting relationship

There goes me trying to apply there jesus christ.

Jake Tapper will be offended if you call these concentration camps.

they should pass a law that says ICE has to follow the law

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

Folks sometimes forget that people resisting fascism do sometimes break laws, and that we shouldn't want them locked up for it. If someone on our side films an incident where someone breaks a law for the greater good, law enforcement doesn't necessarily get the unedited footage.

Dems be like “we pushed them to the suburbs of Minneapolis! Vote please!” (Also assuming the previous definition of “100 miles around international airports” still applies… dark orange is MUCH smaller)

Wolverines are one of the most elusive mammals in North America, rarely ever spotted by anyone in the wild. But our newest zoo resident, Laura, is making quite a lot of fans already with her playful personality! 📷: Lead zookeeper Taylor S

You can conclude that these people simply do not understand how negotiating works - that you start by shooting for the moon and force them to talk you down to something like this, extracting pain for every concession - or that they just don't want more than this.

hell yeha

I would love for my NAS to simply work

Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them. www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

The theory behind incrementalism relies on two things: the people implementing it having a big end goal they want to get to, and an opponent who will behave reasonable and agree to smaller steps Neither is true with democrats and republicans

this is oft a strategy that pitches itself as reasonable and pragmatic but what it really is is 'conflict avoidant'. actual incrementalism generally is achieved with the fury of a sun bearing down on your reps, not 'repeated calm requests to change their minds'

schumer sucks shit as always but i think there is something useful here to show here. when anybody advocates for incrementalism, reform, all that: to get *this* level of incrementalism from your reps, *this is how bad things have to be*. getting mild steps, mild change, takes nuclear force.

huh… weird

Israel killed a journalist in Lebanon yesterday. These attacks are so regular its hard to report on them before the next one already occurs. Again, this is all in the context of a supposed ceasefire, which the Israelis have violated, according to the UN, over 10,000 since Nov 27 2024.

the left-of-center position is unwinding everything going back to Nixon kicking off the War on Drugs the left-wing position... I dare not say aloud

The moderate position is unwinding the entire post-9/11 security state

went to the quilting subreddit to look for block ideas and the front page is completely full of anti-ice quilts 🥹
