If hundreds of people can lose jobs for accurately describing Charlie Kirk's career, seems like it shouldn't be a big deal to fire a guy for killing someone.

Look, I don't think it would be wise to protest ICE with a sign that reads WE'RE ALL SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS given how they seem to be violent, reckless assholes who will lash out at you because they desperately need to prove to themselves they're still Real Men.

“The truth is, these guys are not very bright and things got out of hand.”

Not helping someone who got stuck in snow or ice is the Minnesota equivalent of taking a shit on their car hood.

I cannot imagine what Trump will do when he finds out the secret police of a theocratic fascist regime is murdering and imprisoning peaceful protesters in Minnesota.

I just want to flag that the very Earth, herself, is rejecting these fascists' presence in God's Country with her ice and snow.

Note from a veteran police reporter: NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

Confirmation here. katu.com/news/local/i...

I'm looking at the data for a column, and "abolish ICE" is both a lot more popular than you probably think, and a lot more popular than it has been in the past, including 2018

Growing up, couldn't understand how anyone would think of themselves as a citizen of a state first, and American second. Kind of get it today, though. Very proud my states (Minnesota and California) are standing up to a tyrannical federal government to PROTECT rights rather than suppress them.

Noem saying Ross acted "according to his training" is a blinking red light. Any investigative effort from those with subpoena power needs to press on ICE permitting early resort to lethal force. @lilahassan.bsky.social's reporting is crucial & acknowledges it may be out of date:

This is correct. ICE is there in the first place because of an evidence-free racist conspiracy theory promoted by a 23 Year old YouTube propagandist. They manufacture pretext.

As someone who left twitter in Dec of 2022 due to nazis, it's less surprising to me that if you're fine with Nazis, Musk unleashing a child born generating bot would bother you enough to leave.

A government that can’t be trusted to release these files cannot be trusted to investigate an ICE murder on its own.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

This isn’t about immigration. This is the federal govt telling their henchmen to go fuck up Minneapolis however they want in order to stop the city from functioning. It’s punishment for defying the administration.

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

It’s a fucking date.

About god damn time.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

I’m an American and I hate all of this evil shit. All of it. Fuck you if you don’t.

We also need to make clear to these ICE goons that they WILL be prosecuted, federally and locally, for their actions. It may be delayed, but it will happen if they break the law. And instead of saying "well qualified immunity" we can leave the results up to juries.

This agent needs to be prosecuted for murder

This is the biggest story in tech and should remain so for the foreseeable future www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Why can't we have reporters like this?

Lol how can you tell this administration is lying to you? Because oil hasn't been shipped in actual barrels in over a century www.cnn.com/2026/01/06/b...

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

What could go wrong?

Trump is approaching his sixth year as president and still doesn’t know what the Department of Energy does.

When you get away with running America like a mob state and robbing it blind to enrich yourself and your allies, the obvious next step is to attempt it on a global stage and see if you can get away with that too.

company that creates deepfake CSAM raises $20 billion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/t...

Haven't had time to read this, but I'm going to guess that the lawlessness only gets worse and worse until you have an authoritarian who will kidnap other world leaders simply to look cool and bad ass on TV while blatantly defying court orders and ignoring Constitutional requirements for spending.

2001's "Josie and the Pussycats" is second only to "Michael Clayton" in terms of being a criminally underrated cinematic masterpiece.

Joe Biden could never.

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

I will never forget the events of January 6, 2021. The images from that day are as seared in my mind as are the images of September 11, 2001. As they should be all of yours.

It is utterly unsurprising that the guys who believe Hitler was right are also now openly pushing for hemispheric domination. The speed is faster than I anticipated, however.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

This guy here is dead 👇

anyways i think it's kind of wild how quickly we went from "be careful, that shark in the flooded city is from a different hurricane" to "nearly every piece of media about this world event is fake and also we took the fake media and made it nude also we added more explosions"

I used to joke about furries and Guy Fieri constantly, but like nearly every news story I read about either tends to highlight what great folks they are. And I feel somewhat morally obligated to state this whenever either come up in conversation to assuage my guilt over being so wrong for so long.

Every time i read a "good" AI prompt that instructs the LLM in so many different ways not to lie, to be smart, and not just tell me what I want to hear, I have to wonder: Considering a fundamental property of an LLM is that it doesn't understand those concepts at all... why are we doing this again?

The fight for an affordable future is ultimately a fight for freedom. Among the issues on my Freedom Agenda: ☑️ Medicare for All ☑️ Tax the billionaires ☑️ Impeachment ☑️ Supreme Court reform ☑️ Universal child care ☑️ Constitutional reform ... and more.

republicans voted over and over to repeal obamacare. they constantly lost. they then gained control of the house, senate, presidency, and supreme court.

Smedley Butler tried to warn us.

Congrats to interim head coach Marco Rubio

This is really the "best" part of this gangsterism. Trump just likes bullying and taking shit. The oil industry likely isn't going to be champing at the bit here.

🧵Day 3 and we have a new meaning for "running Venezuela," courtesy of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, who is in charge of Venezuela as well as the National Archives. We're going to insist they do what's in the US national interest. Time for some principal-agent theory. 1/

Every member of Congress not calling for impeachment and removal is failing their own oaths of office.
