We continue to do irreparable damage to our souls every minute these assholes say in power. They are leaving a wound in this country that may never heal.

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner: “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.” #ICEoffOurStreets #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

Damn, two votes short. Not that I’m shocked. Happy to see all the Dems in line. Even Fetterman.

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the things I'll miss about @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is his unhinged and hilarious relationship with the Skarsgård's. There is an ongoing saga about pickles between Stellan and Alex mediated through @stephencolbert.bsky.social.

The idea of arresting two non-white journalists under the Klan Act is just so fucking on the nose for this administration.

You go to war with the martyrs you have. This is now a pro-Don Lemon propaganda account and he is to be considered an unstoppable ubermensch until such time he is once again a free moron. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

Remember that in addition to arresting reporters, the regime deported journalist Mario Guevara after detaining him while covering No Kings Day protests. “His imprisonment is among the longest for any reporter arrested in connection with their work as a journalist in United States history.”

now this is fucking thinking like an appropriator. speaking as a federal bureaucrat, do you know how many completely fucking absurd rules there are making it next to impossible to do our jobs? how many forms I have to file to hire anyone? put a few dozen of those restrictions on ICE...

Yesterday and today I engaged in "Make fun of someone you don't like". Tomorrow is likely to be "Scowl", possibly "Eat an potato".

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

Baby shampoo mixed with water recommended as optimal treatment for pepper spray by an ophthalmologist, which speaking as a maker of soap & “personal care products” makes total sense. Milk products not recommended primarily due to risk of infection. Plain water is fine & much better than nothing!

The vigil for Alex Pretti at the VA Medical Center in San Diego turns into a short march to a nearby bridge over the 5

I mean, I'm no pundit. But this seems bad. For them. Good for those of us that want America to not fall into balkanization.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

'State to state. Do they let you do that? No papers?'

'Bob, it's time to take off your engineering hat and put on your management hat.' is a phrase burned into my brain. It's a phrase that killed 7 people. It's a phrase they teach us in Engineering Ethics. I believe we're legally allowed to punch anyone who says it. (Well, ethically allowed)

Happy day after Ronald Reagan and Cable in the Classroom traumatized me: www.npr.org/2026/01/25/g...

The only general I salute

People are making me agree with Stancil here. I understand needing some OPSEC, but good reporters will follow it, and half of the plan is to keep a record of the abductions, but the other half is to show America what is happening so we can convince them to help stop it.

I sometimes don't carry my passport when I am in Europe! Like I have it, but I leave it in the hotel safe. This is just fucked up. But the bravery of real people is giving me hope. I've been trying the best I can to help from so far away.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

"It is striking that the capital offense for which both Pretti and Renee Good... were summarily executed was the crime of witness... Both were engaged in the task that democracies assign to citizens: that of paying close attention to the workings of power."

the US also has a vast disparity in educational outcomes which is why we have more people with degrees than most countries and also more people who are proud of believing things that only make sense if you can't read

maybe I’ve missed it but are National Guard in DC doing anything to help chip us out of the snow?

To put a finer point on this, upzoning single-family neighborhoods would probably make a lot of homeowners wealthier by enhancing the value of the land underneath their homes. But it would also raise the specter of apartments (and maybe even non-white apartment-dwellers) on their block.

Oh my.

I realize this may not be common knowledge, but the fact that a prior bill gave ICE funding does not mean that Congress does not have the power to change that prior bill. Prior Congresses can't bind the current Congress.

The MN Republicans on the Cnn Town Hall brought Fox News talking points. They think there’s this magical list of “1600 people in MN who are the worst of the worst” & thats who all these ice “agents” are trying to arrest but the people like Alex Pretti were “impeding.” Live audience LAUGHED at them.

Because many people on here are talking about making demands, it might be worth thinking about the goal. Body cameras, unmasking, and making it easier to sue will not reduce the number of people arrested and condemned to jail to die, suffer and/or be deported.

If you want to ensure there won't be violence at the polls, end this shit. This isn't "Trump will stop the midterms". He's NOT gonna stop the midterms but he's gonna ask gun happy ICE agents to stand around and maybe shoot another Alex Pretti or Renee Good and one more death is already too many

I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

I love this line.

This is great! Philly DA Larry Krasner vows to "hunt down" ICE agents who are breaking the law like Germany hunted down Nazis after WWII. “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades

Along with 8 billion requests from whistles last night, we also got generous donations on the GFM that go beyond our current needs for shipping. So today we're going to match donations to Minnesota until we've spent the $2,000 we got last night! 💓

Thanks, Boss.

It happens that Bristol County, Massachusetts will soon have an open contest for District Attorney; this would be an interesting question to put to any of the candidates.

A friend of mine says I'm using the exclamation Jesus! too much, so: Good God, Lemon!

Remember, losing not lost. You can't quit playing hockey early in the 3rd just because you're up by 4. What would MacGyver think if we abandoned his beloved MN? He get a tube sock, some duct tape, a paper clip, and kick your ass.

as democrats, if we want to get immigration numbers back up to a reasonable level, we're going to have to do more than just go back to "the way things were." we're going to have to provide a real, reliable, fast pathway to CITIZENSHIP.

Today’s crises come into focus once we understand that we are well into a war of Southern aggression—a neo-Confederate project to remake the entire country in its own image and win the war the South never conceded. www.weekendreading.net/p/the-war-of...
