i'm being flip but when i think about the guys who are gassing preschools and putting children in camps and killing people both on and off camera--complaining about WHISTLES--i understand why dante was like no, we need way more kinds of hell. at least nine

This tracks with LA. They make the spectacle, act like it's over when Bovino leaves and then continue the same level of crackdown without a spotlight after everyone gets used to it.

I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

I'm a little buzzed. And I'm streaming FF7 Remake. 😁😂 (No, you probably won't notice much of a difference. But what the hell, if you're snowed in like me, at least this is something to watch.) www.twitch.tv/fluffycait

Reports are that they were hanging around bus stops at the end of the day, and that some buses returned to the schools rather than drop the kids off and put them at risk. I'm FURIOUS but feeling galvanized after already seeing the community mobilizing to support impacted families and start observing

ICE sightings in Ypsilanti, MI:

That’s right

“Supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort” is a great argument against cringe culture.

A trial kicking off in a Los Angeles courtroom marks the first time a jury will hear claims that social media companies knowingly hook young users and cause harm. n.pr/4qCkAGM

The worst part is so many of my friends are naturally hard of hearing. It's not uncommon to be HoH, you don't need to be deaf to want subtitles. The worst part about this whole situation is companies are abandoning disabled people as a front and this is a immediate first sign. Read the article.

Every single artist that posts on BlueSky should have this saved to their computer because so many of you are posting character torsos all day. (created by @/whey.party)

Pet peeve: engagement farming accounts posting uncredited artwork captioned with the most generic sentimental drivel getting 1 billion likes/reposts. Block. Always block.

If you’re in the US, please consider adding this to your list of actions.

The National Park Service has already pushed out 1/4 of the agency's staff. Now they're firing more rangers while bringing in surveillance drones & self-driving shuttles. This is the corporatization of our National Parks while the surveillance state creeps into our public lands.

Dangerously cold temperatures continue across the eastern half of the country. In some places this could be the longest duration of cold in several decades. Visit weather.gov for your latest, local forecast.

“You know, like Nazis do.”

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Must be funny to red team these days

So we’ve got premeditation and motive

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

the comments of any product remotely using AI are 1000 people booing then one dork going "To simply dismiss a new technology out of hand is tantamount to" drowned out by fart noises

Looking at Louisiana and Texas lit like torches, I think: "the 5th Circuit, where liberty and due process of law go to die."

One reasonable way to look at this is that Abbott is working to make Texas universities regional institutions rather than world-class ones. He does not want them competing for the most talented researchers.

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti. It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

Having hopelessly corrupt DHS agents investigate their buddies will not result in anything but a whitewash and destruction of evidence. The county or the state is going to have to act because what the Regime is proposing to do here will only protect the guilty. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The Raygoza case in LA is important bc it's an attempt to criminalize observation. DOJ dropped doxing charge but not conspiracy, then added stalking. Here's how Raygoza is attempting to make stalking case go away. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

It's hard to think of anything the Bill of Rights needs to protect more than ICE Observers. If it doesn't protect that, it doesn't protect anyone.

Every so often I look up what Stephen Miller was doing in the aughts instead of joining the armed or civil services, and then I remember that more than one sentence of his Wikipedia entry ends with some variation of "Then his family helped him purchase a [bigger] condominium in DC"

This is them "backing down." They're saying that they're going to war with community activists at the core of the Democratic Party. Senators need to understand that what they're consenting to here is a Minneapolis on the Democratic Party's organizing core.

The most vulnerable people in America will suffer and die. All because of Trump's corruption and billionaire greed.

A bonus to voting in Dem primaries: you get a say in choosing who the nominees end up being, instead of just hoping the nominee who turns out to be a status quo coporate kiss-ass with the biggest bank roll doesn't suck as badly as the last one.

🙄 And all because of 1, just 1 debunked paper. A million deaths is not enough for Andrew Wakefield.

This is also straight out of the anti-abortion playbook, by the way, where jeering pro-lifers get video cameras right in your face and tell you "we're gonna make you famous" and you know that that's a death threat signal for the murderer segment of pro-life activists Had that done to me a few times

The White House and a lot of Republican members are saying that during a shutdown, FEMA’s disaster relief would stop, but that isn’t true. As of the end of December, FEMA’s disaster relief fund had $23 billion in funds that are usable during a shutdown. And here’s DHS’s shutdown plan.

Because no one has a conscience and sticks to their principles in spite of intense hate and endagerment, some puppet master must be paying them off to do it! --the biggest fucking bought off puppet ever

drew this parody gadsden flag six years ago, and it seems it’s still relevant as the bootlicking has only increased. (if you’ve shared a version, I’d appreciate if you shared this one — I’m making more stickers, flags and t-shirts to give 100% of profits to MN mutual aid! www.tommysiegel.net)

It was nearly two years ago that Marcy first described Peskov to me as Putin's Stephen Miller.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Real talk: I do not like the "Greg Bovino is short, haw haw" jokes. They are not effective in demeaning him to his face, and are hurtful to people in our coalition. I don't repost these jokes, I don't like these jokes, and I may mute people who get excessive in creating and sharing them.

Little Bighorn is, IMO, one of the most interesting public sites in US, bc it is a kids driving tolerance away fr Yellowstone (and so attracts people who otherwise wouldn't stop), and is basically a shrine to a humiliating American loss, with plenty of Native Americans present who will explain that.

We cannot expect her to react to reality. The only thing that's going to get her fired is doing real journalism about the regime, and zero risk of that.

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

Free Liam.
