Truly incredible stuff from the New York Times as always. An American city is under siege by the federal government so naturally we need to talk to a bunch of rural racists who don’t live in that city and view themselves as superior

Our entire political system is set up to funnel money from cities to rural areas. They are over represented in every legislature. And yet, they still cling to this nonsense. We should cut them off and let them wither.

friendly reminder The things you believed were right yesterday are still right. They'll be right if they put you in jail. They'll be right if they shoot you. They'll still be right when these people are dead and dusted and gone. which they will be

Yes: we are essentially tanking the DHS paramilitary army for the rest of America right now. They have to break us because they’re pulling men out of everywhere else for this surge, and if it fails, what then? But they will not break us.

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

People really reacting to this without all the details. I am sure there are good and legitimate reasons why President Trump is taking the oil revenue ransom he extorted from Venezuela and is putting into a Middle Eastern bank account that Congress cannot control.

Everyone who is like “hahah the police will always stand with ICE,” kindly shut up. Your city didn’t go through what our city is going through. Even our observers - not exactly pro-cop people - have noticed distinct hostility between ICE and MPD.

the problem isn’t that I’m exclusively online, it’s that you are

man I keep seeing people be like “well I guess will finally decided to do something in the real world” and guys I’m VP of my neighborhood board. I organized Uptown’s holiday event. I ran for office. I worked for years on school and housing desegregation

none of you people can read can you? bsky.app/profile/thei...

the best 2020s espionage black comedy is about the construction crew on the White House ballroom gradually realising that they're *all* spies from different countries, except for one undocumented immigrant who has to teach them how to do things

If you came out of school with and identity rooted in “being smart”, you were kind hosed, because building a replacement for that is FUCKING HARD. Easier to double down on the sense of superiority and the trappings of intellect. Adams showed us the full length of that road.

Smart action embraces the idea that you cannot know everything, and leans into curiosity, interest and generosity. Smart identity cannot live in a world without their specialness, and so must become a victim, and in doing so dismiss anything that might cause discomfort. This sucks to live through.

New poll finds that 28% of US adults believe the force used by the ICE agent in Minneapolis was justified.

I’m trying to imagine a world in which you wouldn’t have to pay me $1M to admit that I, a smart and savvy politics knower took a decade to understand what Susan from Accounting knew in 5 minutes, and I can’t.

People love to say that normie libs did nothing to prevent bad things from happening, but the reality is that if folks like the dipshits above had stepped up and listened to normie libs instead of fighting them every step of the way, we could have likely prevented all of this.

Isn't it odd how progressives/leftists/post-left dipshits keep realizing that libs are right while never fully understanding just how they've been led astray by far-right bozos masquerading as leftists online?

"It took me, a very smart person, a decade to realize that Trump is bad while these people I think are stupid realized immediately" is such an incredible self own.

Immense skill issue to not have found this immediately obvious in 2016

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.

What ICE needs is more training. (extremely close to mic voice) potty training

Let your investors be your jesters at the rugpull of success

costco should be allowed to sell weed. i want the Kirkland Select Kush. a 300-count fish oil pill sized bottle of 5mg gummies would fix this country

Truly

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

If this story is playing on a TV in a bar in the background of the first scene of the movie, nothing good is about to happen

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Someone asked me today why ICE always runs when you follow them, when they're the ones with guns and armor and squads and massive trucks, and honestly - The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.

With that said, if you're SURPRISED I'm out here, I'm just going to point you to my old campaign site. I wasn't lying. I meant all of it. No compromise with these thugs. www.willstancil.org/priorities1

I am if anything one of the least impressive because I have a significant platform which would make it difficult to abduct me or harass me without a significant furor. I have that backstop. The vast majority of people here are doing with no such assurance. They're heroes.

Guys I appreciate all the support but I want to be clear that there are thousands - maybe tens of thousands - of Minnesotans doing what I'm doing right now. Most are just everyday neighbors, nice old folks, college kids, baristas, who cannot abide what they're doing to OUR CITY and OUR NEIGHBORS.

All day every day, ICE seen at a business were you’ve spent countless hours, ICE seen at a intersection where you have so many memories. Today I chased an ICE SUV down the alley where Volstead’s is. I always take my parents there. They grabbed a man right in front of me and I couldn’t get his name.

Ken Howery (below) is Trump’s ambassador to Denmark. He: Co-founded PayPal & The Founders Fund w/ Peter Thiel & attended the Jan 2025 inauguration party at Thiel’s mansion. Thiel’s Oct 2024 Hereticon event included a talk titled: “Manifest Destiny: Greenland, Cuba, & the New American Colony” 1/

i asked chat gpt to fact check an article for me

Maybe call this "The Food Desert Expansion Act"

Also if you post about dynamics like this a bunch of tiny accounts inevitably turn up to explain how actually this person mortally offended their para social favorite and how dare you defend somebody who lied about pissslop14

“You’re only useful to us as the persona we created to abuse for our own enjoyment” - usually you guys are a little less explicit about it, I’ll admit

“We are allowed to continually misrepresent you for the game of the ritualized dunking that is our only real interest in this site, and if you can’t stop us, that’s your fault.” Context collapse is a familiar concept but what people overlook is that it’s usually done intentionally

anyway it is a testament to the fact that this guy cannot think himself out of an open room that he keeps analogizing the killing of renee good to private violence between citizens.

bluesky is a sealed epistemic environment and also i am going to make sure that no one can correct me when i say tendentious things like “kirk was killed by an ideological opponent”

I think about this July 2024 threat from the head of the Heritage Foundation quite a lot these days.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

The only reason you think arguing with Megyn Kelly is more productive than arguing with me is that the two times you've argued with me you've been embarrassed.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

Frey on Noem: "That was some wild and crazy stuff. It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word she's saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water if she'd actually be able to speak."
