Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

BREAKING: Now that TikTok is under US-based ownership, the social media app potentially collects more detailed information about its users, including precise location data. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

My generation grew up on stories about how state TV would deliver clumsy propaganda for dictatorships, we’re just not ready for the way private capital in a market system can do exactly the same job much more effectively

My "if you make us feel bad, we will have to shoot you" press conference is prompting the exact response I was trying to stop.

Quite the video

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

As more evidence came out contradicting the administrations accounts, the Times went from an accurate headline to both-sidesing it.

Don’t fucking have them on unless you are prepared to call out their lies. They’re going to say he planned to kill people. Tell them the video proves agents already disarmed him. And don’t let that go ever and hang up if they won’t concede the point.

I’m already fucking furious about the Sunday Show Gaslighting from the biggest liars in human history that’s about to happen

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

Disgusting. Evil. Psychopaths.

This is what is pissing me off the most. There's not even an ATTEMPT at credible 'alternative facts'. The narrative from the admin is literal and total and entirely fictional. Not one ounce of truth to what they say. They are not even TRYING to spin this properly.

Support for abolishing ICE is only likely to strengthen as more people become aware of the details of the execution by federal agents in Minneapolis. Public opinion usually takes time to shift in response to events...

NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

Thank god Chuck Schumer isn’t alive to see this.

Hilarious that we all knew how bad Trump 2.0 would be, on the basis of, oh I don't know, Trump 1.0. Yet people still voted for this over Harris because of, eggs? F*ck outta here with her tame policy platform. You KNEW this was the alternative. You KNEW he would be all-out due to term limits.

This is why it's important for people to remember that the problem isn't just Trump. There are no good Republicans. None. Don't want to hear shit about Collins, Murkowski, Cornyn, Tillis. Monsters all.

A set of facts that should be everywhere.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Trump is waging war on the people of Minnesota. He’s threatening to go to war with our European allies. He is covering up the Epstein Files. This is what it looks like when the president is a demented Nazi pedophile. If you bow down to him, you’re pathetic.

Donald Trump is a madman who has lost touch with reality. He and his henchmen do not think they are subject to the constitution or the law. You do not have any rights they feel they have to respect. They think the should be allowed to murder people who disagree with them. That’s what this is about.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

2nd Amendment and murder okay if you vote Trump. Rittenhouse brandishing his AR before killing a protester. Not guilty.

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

this is good example of how to write a credible headline and social post about the shooting in Minneapolis without amplifying lies from the Trump administration. Facts not talking points and lies. Other news outlets and headline writers should take note.

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

🚨🚨" Trump is a narcissistic, psychopathic bully. But a weak one. I started listening to Trump’s speech at Davos with anger and outrage. As he went on, I slowly felt a growing sense of relief. I realised that all his bullying, taunts and threats reflected weakness. " @alexhh.bsky.social nails it:

Yes, it’s a confirmation of what everyone said would happen. But a confirmation is still useful.

I feel like this official letter is an inflection point, convincing European elites that not only is Trump genuinely insane, but the people serving him in the U.S. government are either insane or too cowardly to object.

Question in Copenhagen: why is Trump focussed on a Russian threat that doesn't exist (in Greenland) as opposed to one where it does (Ukraine)?

10/ And unlike nuclear weapons, trade wars don't require launch codes or two-person authentication. They just require a Truth Social post and a compliant Commerce Department. Which rather limits the time available for sober second thought.

If you are unwilling to acknowledge the dangerous insanity of Donald Trump you are part of the problem.

This is a declaration trump does not recognize the concept of sovereignty

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

in the plus side, watching the president of the United States destroy the entire geopolitical order because he didn't get a shiny award has successfully cured all my hangups about subtle character motivation in writing

The US has a 25th Amendment and an impeachment process but because cowardice is the defining characteristic of modern right wing politics, neither of these things will be exercised, even as this is the most glaring example of their being needed.

Trump is so determined to end fraud that he has pardoned one person *twice* for engaging in criminal fraud.
