BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

there is never anything wrong with watching this fine film, or Sisu, or Inglourious Basterds, or Defiance either to keep your spirits up or as a means of sympathetic magic let me also recommend The Death of Stalin

You'll eat potatoes and like it. And besides, getting good Mexican food...in Minneapolis? Not bloody likely. (I speak from personal experience. I saw more kelbasa in supermarkets than had any right to exist.)

This is who runs my account.

I keep the 50,000 reasons I oppose this guy in a Cava takeout bag. #SayNoMan2Homan 👎

A protester taunting officers in an Andre Either jersey? Hell yeah

If I was a billionaire, I'd make the most dynamic leftist foundation in the United States. I would spend the rest of my life trying to give my money away while going to the reddest parts of the country as a goddamn force for change. I'd still write for TBLA but my persona would be a bon vivant.

Mussolini GIF for no particular reason.

Being for a salary cap is anti-worker and pro-billionaire.

David Brooks wrote an entire column about offensive it was to say "Epstien Class" without volunteering that he was at a conference with Epstien.

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

If you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press

Trump’s America 2026. Masked armed men in body armor arresting journalists in the night. We’re truly going back to the 1930s. My almost 90 y/o mom was right when she moved back to Austria this year: “I grew up under fascism, I don’t need to die under it” 😳

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE: CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely! “I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.” This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

I'm at "eat them — eat all of them" as the starting point. Let's shift that window. 😏

Do you know how f*cked up you gotta act to get banned from Xbox Live in *in 2013*?

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

Good to see --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman just introduced their bill stripping ICE agents of qualified immunity. We broke the news that this was coming on our podcast (see thread below for more info and context).

From Brooks’ column TODAY: “The most grievous cultural wound has been the loss of a shared moral order… Without shared standards of right and wrong, it’s impossible to settle disputes; it’s impossible to maintain social cohesion and trust.”

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

DOJ just deleted this. Whoops!

Whenever I see Bryan Woo, I think of Adam We.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Ten years ago, I held my nose and voted for her in the general. Fat lot of good that did.

Share a preacher, priest or nun.

Breaking Bloomberg: Trump just sued the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over the unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns to the press during his first term in office — potentially putting American taxpayers on the hook for a massive payout. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Dodgers signed RHP Ryder Ryan to a minor league deal, sources tell The Athletic. Brother of Dodgers RHP River Ryan. Will make $800K if he makes the majors.

One of the first things you learn in torts is that it is not possible to defame a dead person. The person being defamed must experience reputational harm. Dead people do not have a reputation in the eyes of the law. But, sure why not ask a PR person for legal advice.

I'm going to whinge about the schedule a bit. There are some series that have no business not being on the weekend. Minneapolis in June. Cincinnati in September. Instead, the Dodgers get the White Sox (yay to seeing @jacki.bsky.social, maybe) and the Marlins (boo), respectively.

You go, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social "To ask about this, again and again, is not slander, it is an obligation... Because to let this episode slide...would be to accept that no accountability is ever imposed on anyone in Trump’s orbit. Where’s the fifty thousand?" www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com

/The Orioles call MJE: I know what this is about but I'm still going to take the call. Orioles Rep: Sales pitch! MJE: ...yeah, I'm not going to Baltimore this year unless something really unexpected happens and even then, I expect what you're offering is out of my price range. Next year...maybe. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The two former GMs with the most sketchy history of illegal and/or unethical behavior in living memory, Coppolella and Bowden, each have media jobs.

The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of PR flacks

I can’t believe all of Congress isn’t screaming about this everyday. This is a baby. Look at that picture of him in his father’s arms. He is suffering. Lie to us some more about how humane the “facilities” are. He is 5 fucking years old. DO SOMETHING. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

And during Game Seven, we saw a 30% bump in traffic.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

The right wing is now spreading video of what they say is Alex Pretti kicking out a fed taillight and getting gang tackled for it. They claim it proves he was violent. They also claim it’s from the BBC. As far as I can tell, it’s not. The lies are spreading so fast.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I AM BEGGING YOU: Please lead a vote of no-confidence in Schumer as Minority Leader. It's a closed door, secret ballot conference vote. We cannot let this man, who is not made for this moment, be our downfall. He's not a bad man, he's just not up to History's moment.

@schumer.senate.gov in 1939: "Here are some reforms for the Gestapo!" Sheer allergy to taking even a moderate position: abolition. Absolute foolishness and stupidity. Retire, sir. You are the wrong man for the moment by a country mile.

ICE spotted in Lincoln Heights. stay safe LA. Protect your neighbors!!!

ICE spotted in El Sereno. Stay safe LA
