it seems likely we’re doing a ground invasion, which fulfills american policy at every turn is that we need more dead americans for the glory of israel

Anyway, Trump's increasingly acting like he has fucking prion disease, meanwhile the other members of his billionaire vampire pedophile cabal are starting a world war and crashing the global economy because they caught the barest whiff of a remote possibility of accountability on the far horizon.

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

I don't think people realize that Iran and its regional proxies can conceivably inflict so much damage on the US and its allies that the US will have to just declare victory to save face and come to the negotiating table for real. 20th century air war doctrine is going to fail.

linux heads were always right. time to sit my dumbass down and learn

"XYZ was a brutal dictator. The world is better off without him but I have some mild process-based critiques of how it was done" The strategy of triangulation, made famous by the Girondins in 1792, perfected by the Democratic party after 9/11, both end up with the triangulators on the guillotine.

getting word iran launching strikes on mr beast land in saudi arabia source tells me mr beast land is stable please god

@katmabu.bsky.social sending me cat pics in exchange for a donation is decidedly the best deal i've ever gotten out of a political contribution

I would like to see Pritzker and Newsom declare a state tax receivership fund whereby citizens pay their federal tax liabilities into a state-run escrow account rather than directly to the IRS. The state can hold these funds in trust for the federal government until Trump obeys the Impoundment Act.

Mamdani: "$5.4 billion is a very steep mountain to climb ... We want to work with Albany to raise personal income taxes by 2% on the 33,000 New Yorkers earning more than $1 million per year and to raise corporate taxes on the most profitable corporations."

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

it really feels like everything is falling apart lol

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.

I believe history will show the following: The masks are to conceal the fact that many of these masked ICE “agents” are pardoned Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. I would prefer that “history,” in this case….is pretty damn short.

So fucked up most of the elected leadership of the US is okay with MPLS being under paramilitary occupation and not being worried about the end of our democracy.

A good time to repost this about Ilhan Omar 💕

Man who works in sewer wonders why there's all this shit down here.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

In a sane country, the DOJ response to a motion asking a judge to stop the government from destroying evidence after federal officers shot and killed a man in broad daylight would be, "Of course we wouldn't destroy evidence. We agree with this motion." That . . . is not what happened.

It can get lower!

Right, I think remembering diversity of tactics goes for communication too. Some actions require in person small group discussion. Some require wide spread mainstream digital advertising. The point is to know which you're doing and why you're using the method you are.

"But we are on a slide into full-blown authoritarianism, what if your ICE Watch group which is legal now gets targeted by a death squad in six months?" I have some thoughts on this question.

We are raising a nation of dumbasses. It’s on purpose

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

let's say we build will stancil a killdozer,

being heckled at a restaurant for being in the gestapo and being beat up by 6 gestapo agents, bear sprayed, and shot 8 times with zero accountability is equivalent to these freaks

At about 1m20 the most non-elite US mall ninja shows up with a bafflingly seemingly self inflicted bleeding nose, tucks a shotgun under his taint before tossing a munition canister god knows where, then starts shooting at journalists. If you saw this in a war videogame you’d think it was broken.

The bloody noses are because ICE and Border Patrol get fucking zooted before every cop riot.

Imperial policing eventually comes Home 2 Suites by Hilton

lmaoo

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

from the Mall of America: “Several off- duty ICE agents eating at Hooters. Vehicle is parked in the parking ramp outside of Hooters”

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

it’s pretty insane to think about how the dumbest most violent pieces of shit in the country have been given the message that they can kill with impunity if they join this one government agency

We can't sleep on CBP. One obvious way to 'abolish' ICE without abolishing it would just be to take all that funding and staff and artillery and transfer it to a dedicated unit of the CBP with the same responsibilities as ICE. Abolish CBP, too.

Private Prisons are a crime against humanity

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

we are all palestinians now
