The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

I'm not a lawyer, but people who resist cops that bust into their house in the middle of the night with a no-knock warrant get charged all the time. You not knowing it's a cop won't save you from being punished for attacking a cop. The system is set up to protect cops, not us.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Scum.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I think this person has the right take bsky.app/profile/soci...

This is a fascinating website that tracks all of Trumps authoritarian actions and categorizes them. www.trumpactiontracker.info?

The intersection of Pope Chicago Bob being so obviously on the right side of history re: the current American political scene and my just having watched the German sci-fi series Dark have combined to result in my buying my first piece of religious jewelry ever.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Q: Is this ICE officer immune to charges? HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY MORIARTY: I can't speak to why the Trump administration says what it says. I can say the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here.

68,000 manufacturing jobs gone after tariffs. Tariffs sound tough until workers pay the price. #BlueSky #NewsSky #EconSky

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

My “Hey don’t kill people” brand is really breaking people’s brains it seems

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

The everyday courage of normal people is breathtaking

Three year extension of ACA subsidies passes in the House

What arrant nonsense is this, AFR??? www.afr.com/companies/tr...

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

got a phone call from my father tonight, first asking how we were doing here in portland, and second, ranting about how he saw people killed at kent state, and third he and his extremely religious wife talking about renee good as a martyr, these people are late 70s oklahomans

Spencer Allen Cox, 24, a Border Patrol agent from Uvalde, TX, was arrested in 2020 for soliciting a minor for sex and sending obscene materials to her via Snapchat. He was wearing his CBP uniform when he solicited the underaged victim, who had already told him her age.

Jeremy Tyler Cole, a Border Patrol Agent from Arizona, was sentenced in 2015 for molesting three girls ages five, 12 and 14.

Dana Ray Thornhill, a Border Patrol Agent from Arizona, was sentenced in 2020 to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to repeatedly molesting multiple children between 1995 to 2007. Thornill, a 20-year veteran of CBP, was first arrested at age 13 for sexually assaulting a younger girl.

US Border Patrol agent Steven Charles Holmes, 33, of Arizona was convicted in 2023 of 11 felonies after strangling and raping several women.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent Harry Marvelle Peless III, 51, of Newport, MI, was arrested in Jul 2025 after messaging an undercover agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. Marvelle sent obscene material to and made requests for sexual activity to the person he believed was an underage girl.

Border Patrol Agent Andrew Smithson of San Diego was arrested in 2016 after sexually assaulting Brawley Police Det. Kali Orff. Orff woke up to find Smithson had pulled her pants down and was sexually assaulting her. She punched him in the face and called 911. Smithson was protected by local police.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer Luis Uribe was indicted in Dec 2025 on 11 counts. He committed multiple “gunpoint sexual assaults” and robberies of women in the Chicago area, who offered him money and referenced their children as they begged him to stop. Uribe preyed on sex workers.

Tony L. Barker, a top official with CBP, resigned in 2023 after being accused by multiple female employees of sexual harassment. Barker, who was the acting Chief of CBP's Operations Directorate, allegedly pressured female employees for sex and retaliated when his advances were rejected.

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agent Bart Conrad Yager, 39, was indicted in Jul 2025 on 24 felony charges, including 10 counts of child sex trafficking, five drug-related felonies, and two counts of fraud. He was investigated for a now-closed Tucson rape case ten years ago, but CBP never investigated

The two victims were family members. One was 9 when the abuse started

I thought this was the same Border Patrol agent posted twice but it turns no. You know these guys had to have been working for La Eme because who can afford that much trenbolone

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

ICE blocked Minnesota officials from investigating their shooting of Renee Good. Trump and the GOP have blocked and overly redacted the Epstein files. This is not the behavior of innocent people. This is the behavior of criminals engaged in a cover-up.

/4 Similarly, “Randy Fine is a racist” or “Zohran Mamdani is antisemitic” won’t be defamatory, because those are opinions based on those public figures’ statements and policies.

/3 Hence, neither “Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good” nor “Ashli Babbitt was murdered” is defamatory, because those are based on your interpretation of disclosed facts — like videotaped events. You’re giving your interpretation — your OPINION — of the disclosed fact.

/2 Defamation requires a false statement of provable fact. Things that are not provable fact include hyperbole, rhetoric, insult, and things the audience understands are expressions of opinion rather than expressions of verifiable fact. Your interpretation of what you see on a video is an opinion.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

Wait, they got something done?

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

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.
