The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

In a few months, we've progressed from snuff films of the US military killing civilians at sea to a snuff film of paramilitary secret police killing a mom in Minnesota—in both situations bogusly invoking "terrorism."

The president is also signalling to his followers in and out of government what the party line on this horrific murder will be. That it's transparently false is almost beside the point. Indeed, publicly adopting the falsehood will fast become a loyalty test.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

With an annual budget that is 10 times the size of the agency’s total surveillance spending for the last 13 years, ICE is going on a shopping spree, creating one of the largest, most comprehensive domestic surveillance machines in history. Here’s what they are buying. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

excellent witness — and nobody can call him an outside agitator because he describes the roadblocking angles of the ICE vehicles just before the shooting in the most Minnesota terms possible, as being parked “kitty wampus”

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

My favorite Christmas thing of all time are the cats who take one look at the holiest scene in Christendom and say "That baby's in my spot."

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

During the year’s busiest season of charitable giving, donors may wonder whether the nonprofits they are considering donating to are going to be good stewards of their money. Last year, we added tools to Nonprofit Explorer to help you look into that:

Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras? SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it? MARSHALL: I haven't researched it

Don’t allow tech to turn you into an un-person. Refuse to let AI make things you could produce with your own brain. Develop your mental & creative faculties. Read constantly. They want you illiterate, and nothing threatens them more than a brain that is sharp and intact.

I'm honestly surprised I don't see more discussion of this outcome. A permanent immiserated underclass ruled by a few hyperrich lords doesn't require anyone to hack the grid or invent a novel bioweapon, you just need AI to advance and our society to *continue to operate exactly the way it does*
