knock me over with a feather

looks like this one got cancelled after the uproar but jesus christ what else are they doing

I propose Tyler Harper and Jay Kang go do a mandatory year of service rn so we don’t have to hear from them for a bit

not the most ridiculous part of that tweet, but a non-ironic use of "the libs" is a near-perfect indicator of something truly stupid

If no cake just steak has you looking like that, then no thank you.

The wristband closely matches those worn by members of the Omega Fire Ministries, a Christian evangelical church started by Nigerian televangelist Johnson Suleman, which read: "If you monitor me you die" and "My blood is untouchable"

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home

Feel like weather apps have really gone to shit the last few years.

It got cancelled thankfully (only after they got caught) but also the more things change the more things stay the same

A negative review from the fascists at the Manhattan Institute is a badge of honor up there with a major award. The folks that brought us the Bell Curve and Chris Rufo should be shunned and mocked, not taken seriously by anyone that matters.

Miller’s miscalculation - the logic of a privileged and sheltered brat - is that violence would pull white folks away from black and brown folks, when in fact it’s done the opposite. And now America’s other cities also know how to face him.

Several of the 13 “worst of the worst” criminals that the Department of Homeland Security said were arrested in Minnesota through its immigration enforcement operation were actually handed over to ICE by state prisons before Operation Metro Surge began.

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

It is hard for me not to regard the failure to recognize that the AI boom is inextricable from totalitarian creep as willful ignorance, as either the delusions of those who believe they are immune or an endorsement that doesn’t require a vulgar red cap. But AI boosterism is Trumpism now. Full stop.

it is an incredible coincidence that the tech sector going all-in on AI is also owned by people that want to destroy the institutions of democratic life

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

Evergreen: “I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” Minton told Mazzei. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.” (from 2019: www.vox.com/policy-and-p...)

They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple. He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated. 📸: Pierre Lavie

"It's perfectly fine ICE agents roughed up this woman, because she's GAY" has become a disturbingly common headline recently

for context here, you also have to remember that Canadian-Chinese relations *cratered* in the last few years as a result of Beijing's hostage diplomacy. That the Canadians now have more trust in China than the United States is quite an achievement by Trump.

spot how many of these risks are due to/powered by the tech industry source: www.weforum.org/publications...

You kind of want Wolf to pause after that for a very long moment, then ask her, "Tricia, are you ever afraid for your eternal soul?"

Incredible moment here of Chuck Schumer refusing to do politics. Notable that this sort of pointed questioning comes from a student journalist rather than one of the networks.

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

It REALLY frustrates me that everyone always forgets LaMonica McIver.

I’m legit going to have PTSD if I see two blacked-out Expeditions in traffic together for the rest of my life

I used to like to work from home by a window that overlooked the street, and I don't do that anymore because I find myself obsessively looking at license plates.

At its core, ICE, and really this entire government, are simply Losers Who Are Bothering You

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”

They didn’t want a university without cancel culture. They didn’t want to be criticized for their retrograde views so they created a pretend school funding by their rich friends. The only people surprised that this failed were credulous enough to believe the fairy tales these folks told.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Not to be too morbid, but today's reporting is that she was actually still alive for several minutes. He said that to her while she was dying.

the fact that Ross's first words after killing Good were "fucking bitch" is one of those things that makes me feel like every attempt to make feminist theory sophisticated was actually pointless. like no apparently there are guys who actually do just want to kill women for inconveniencing them

A federal judge bars DHS and ICE agents in Minneapolis from using "pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools" against peaceful protesters. Federal agents there now also cannot stop vehicles that are following them at a safe distance. storage.courtlistener.com/rec...

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Oh this is a former trump staffer

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

This country is just relentlessly traumatizing its children.

"The document says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

I understand that a lot of reactions are going to be along the lines of “well they’re just going to claim literally any protest is non-peaceful” and I’m sure they will do that in some cases but these kinds of TROs have actually made a difference in other places don’t hand it to them preemptively

We wouldn't be in this situation without John Roberts & the MAGA #SCOTUS giving Trump complete immunity. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her. This is all on Roberts & we should call it #RobertsWitchHunts

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

extremely cool info environment to tweet something and a half hour later once it’s riled everyone up to be like “no haha jk it’s the opposite actually”
