The discovery that ICE began using Subarus shook me to my core. My culture is not a costume

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The President of the United States raped underage women. Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It goes without saying he likes the birds, not the pats.

Well, it’s pretty obvious no one at Apple learned from the rollout of Formula 1 coverage on ESPN a handful of years ago. That launch included commercials, which the fans then blasted ESPN so hard they dropped them almost immediately. Now AppleTV has F1 and didn’t show Bahrain practice. Great start.

Why am I so offended by the Budweiser “Eagle” ad? Let’s see. Budweiser is owned by In-Bev, it’s jingoistic and annoying, or it was so predictable and banal?

@maddowblog.bsky.social loved the prison warehouse piece. In Newport, OR, the town is fighting a site being built on Federal land owned by NOAA.

We have 70,000 people held in ICE prison camps. That is quickly approaching the 120,000 Japanese-Americans held in shameful camps during WW2. This has to be stopped. Every state should fight these camps.

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

New illegal killings at sea, with another boat strike, now totaling at least 116 people killed outside the law by Trump and Rubio. Mass murderers, they should be brought to justice.

Knocked out a wine rack. #woodworking

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Poem for an ICE-encrusted Saturday

Penske and Trump = me watching my last Indycar race.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

I stand with Minnesota AND Ukraine. They are both fighting fascists every day.

Maybe there is some extra work for him in a remake of Starship Troopers.

🚨 PSA on ICE Tactics 🚨

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

The rest of the NBA should also cancel games

It might be time for the Minnesota governor to activate the National Guard to protect his citizens from a rogue federal organiztion.

Sonic weapons were used in Venezuela raid…and don’t think for a second they won’t be used against protesters if Trump orders the military into Minneapolis.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

I’m pretty sure ICE stands for Incompetent Cruel Eunuchs.

Interesting number of reposts

Rams!

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

LOL

had a really interesting conversation last night with an investor and died-in-the-wool capitalist where the conclusion was something like, most Americans don't realize that functioning capital markets and the rule of law are America's actual superpowers and those things could absolutely end

The essential position is “kiss my ass or I’ll have the most friendless loser your high school ever produced come shoot you in the face, bitch”

This is exactly right. They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now. Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

Remember when a professional rescue diver humilated Elon Musk publicly so Elon called the guy a pedophile and got taken to court for it? Well Elon is now the biggest distributor of child sexual abuse material in the world. It's always projection with these guys.

Stevie Threeshirts wants to be the new Capo...

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

Reading the news from the rest of country this morning, from here in the soggy upper left corner, I can only conclude the government has been taken over by a gang of too on-the- nose Batman supervillains. This is bad writing. Not believable. I have notes.

It was amazing to watch the journalists who built this tool at work. Months and months of painstaking effort, careful reporting behind every decision. It's the kind of work that ProPublica does best.

A new year, a new box.

AI enshititfication, step two.

The numbers are in. More people watched the bootlegged 60 Minutes CECOT segment than watched Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors on CBS.

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

“I can sleep anywhere. Now, don’t move.”

The only real healthcare solution is Medicare for All. Full stop.

I’m literally about to scream into a pillow right now…fuck Trump, ICE, Vought and all of it.
