New article on the TESCREAL ideologies and ongoing race to build a Digital Deity. I discuss my recent Oxford Research Encyclopedia article on the topic, as well as my forthcoming book: "Digital Deities: Silicon Valley’s Quest to Replace Humanity with AI." Like and subscribe. :-)

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house. They released him an hour later. The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

“A California-based company [General Matter] with ties to …Peter Thiel announced plans Friday to build America’s first U.S.-owned, privately developed facility to enrich uranium in far western Kentucky.“ Thiel sits on the board and invests via Founders Fund. 7/25/25 … 1/

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

🤔 In 2021, Kip Mock of Moscow ID accidentally set his pal, Elijah Froh, on fire by pouring diesel on a fire. Mock & Froh were later were hired by Valar Atomics—founded by their pal, Isaiah Taylor, a high school dropout from Moscow, ID who somehow landed a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor. 1/

Breaking: MS NOW confirms: The Trump Justice Department has launched criminal investigations into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

im sorry what

Federal agents arrest a woman for "impeding" A man nearby starts blowing a whistle while other observers honk their horns The agents pepper-spray the man with the whistle, he continues, and they tackle him then arrest him 1/16/2026 - Minneapolis

shooting a woman in the face is not an optics problem, it is a *problem* problem

People (mistakenly) believe true sociopaths are devoid of charm or charisma. (Thread)

The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people. That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

“The state commission charged with oversight of #Massachusetts police decertified five former officers from around the state, including a former deputy police chief convicted last year of raping a teenage girl while serving as a school resource officer.”

David understands what's happening. (Thread)

We need to make this more explicit: The violence and civil collapse we're now seeing in Minnesota is by design. It's exactly what Trump and Stephen Miller want. MAGA is *all about* deliberately unleashing ethnic hatreds and violent antagonisms among Americans. newrepublic.com/article/2052...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

They’re not out of control. They’re doing exactly what Trump, Miller, and the rest want them to do: terrorize and silence the people while they ethnically cleanse the country.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Quelle surprise!

STORY: The GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross Bill Ackman gave $10k to was created by a man with a profile image of what the ADL called a white supremacist hate symbol, who called Good “a stupod bitch who got what she deserved.” It's raised over $400k and is still live. theintercept.com/2026/01/12/i...

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

You're almost there... In reality it truly is a bottomless level of soulless depravity. Fascism is defined by depravity. Depravity is both it's purpose and creed. Absent depravity, fascism ceases to exist. Fascism's depravity knows no bounds, it is limitless in it's malevolent purpose.

Conservative media are promoting a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. The page includes the following statement from the organizer: "But this didn't happen in a vacuum—it's the direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish)"

The use of ICE as his own paramilitary was among the most predictable escalations in history. They are being hardened to kill now. And, screaming at them and hurling swear words is just making them more capable of lethal extrajudicial violence. They shot a mother in the face.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Force is required to deal with this. Telling people to remain peaceful isn't adequate. To de-escalate, Governor Walz should mobilize the Minnesota Army National Guard to keep federal agents away from residents. A leader who stands by while these attacks take place is no leader at all.

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

I think the defamation of Renee Good by the government and MAGA needs to be a line in the sand. It is beyond Orwellian to blame her. It is evil. But most importantly, this becomes a permission slip for more extrajudicial executions. Her murder becomes a template. Enough.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Just a brief, little ditty that puts everything in perspective.

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.

A guy from my town took his computer into the shop for service and they found a couple dozen child porn images and he got busted but Elon Musk undressed thousands of kids for billions to see and Marco Rubio is calling it free speech. I love the Republican party.

JFC people! This isn't about Vance's intellect or not teaching law at Yale. He is LYING, it's propaganda. Vance's message is directed at the GOP/MAGA base who don't know the law and aren't going to challenge the administration's narrative.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign. 4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe. 881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and elected Trump as dictator.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves". I was called "hysterical". Well, here we are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This was palpably chilling. Searching Google for the complete text of William Penn's treatise on religious tolerance, I got nothing but the American Heritage Education Foundation. Two pages of nearly identical returns, then nothing. Looked like this. Tried an incognito window, same. Bing is OK.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Stephen Miller dreamt of bombing Mexico and Latin America during the first Administration. Replacing Maduro was in Project 2025. The white nationalists and broligarchy (Musk, Thiel) and white Christian nationalists (Vought) are trying to get everything before Trump dies.

When they say “a free democratic Venezuela,” as I have heard CNN contributors mouth over the past half hour, they mean “a capitalist Venezuela.”

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”
