The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Anyone wishing to understand what happens when you replace a fascist with a guy who believes in nothing should watch this short 3 hour video by @domaindead.bsky.social youtu.be/qi_HENzYYws

this is legitimately an insane thing to think when looking at your child

Fascism is anti-human. It requires the complete abdication of your ethics, morals and values. The death of your soul. This is the price. There is no safety or salvation in staying quiet or looking the other way.

It is funny that even though computer monitors and TVs and tablets all have landscape orientations, we all got suckered into phones being portrait.

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

To be clear, I barely find @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy passable but I'll take the last Keynesian over one of the executors of neoliberalism any day.

Does anyone remember the classic "ICE vs The Viking in a Bathtub" sketch on Monty Python? Good times!

Uuh, has Jeffery Sachs been successfully whitewashed now? Why are so many apparent leftists talking about him like he didn't build the railway that led directly to the rise of Trump? I'm not a big fan of @naomiaklein.bsky.social but a ton of people need to read Shock Doctrine...

tony stark if he used his visor for important shit like My chemical romance Animatics

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

This is a very scary thread, but now that everything's all right, I think it's everyone's duty to convince this person they never actually woke up.

How do we solve the problem of billionaires chasing short-term profits at the cost of the world itself? Smart people getting together to propose a techno-optimism that ignores the real world's constraints of "fiduciary responsibility" ==> Keynes-->Kelton "trying to save Capitalism from itself".

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day. Do I have that right?

JWST found a ‘dead’ galaxy that quit making stars billions of years ago https://www.newsbeep.com/ca/418756/ Three billion years after the Big Bang, a massive galaxy already looked like it had run out of…

Being called hun, having some good pie and coffee would have done him good.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Kayaaaaaaaaaa~ <3 🐶

AI falsely flags the wrong man, the man produces several forms of ID, a cop and an actual court officer would rather believe the arrested man faked several forms of ID in case he was stopped than AI hallucinating, the man is released 11 hours later. via @katblaque.bsky.social youtu.be/5zh6bwLO7M0

"It only cost taxpayers $1.7 million for us to seize $14,135, y'all!" —ICE

$3 store Matt Gaetz is trying to run for Governor of Florida by coming for the true elites, not the billionaires who use Florida as a Tax Haven, but people who use OnlyFans, most of which make way less than $1k a month... giving them a 50% tax. via @taylorlorenz.bsky.social youtu.be/VSbU_iaY1l4

Mexico City went through a similar period around 2010, it did not turn out well for the country. www.brusselstimes.com/454513/inter...

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

😬

Who is more credulous? the flatearthers who believe Candace Owens is right AND serious about Charles Tiberius Kirk11 being a time traveler? Or the people who believe Tim Pool's Beanie about Trump doing Fascism the right way? By Ezra Klein :3

@coffeezilla.bsky.social points out that we've reached the beginning stages of Trump now pardoning people for getting out of jail and committing the same 'white collar' crime again. Reminder that "dangerous criminals" who hurt 1-10 people end up in supermax, not on Club Fed. youtu.be/0ydymkrshVc

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is trying to revive Ben Shapiro's career the right way, just like Destiny revived Nick Fuentes' career the right way, and none of us lived to regret it. By Ezra Klein. via @hasanabirepeater.bsky.social youtu.be/aJjeWMCU4lg

@vanguardpod.bsky.social: Valerie Plame was a CIA agent in the field who got doxxed as revenge because her husband was mean to Trump, IIRC. This put the people she met with in danger but Trump's White House didn't care.

Matt Taibi is both-sidesing ICE the right way by Ezra Klein.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

To be fair, they don't want to run out of regular humans *before* our replacements are ready. via @taylorlorenz.bsky.social youtu.be/W1dIC287Zz0

Everyone please be respectful and don't make viral the clip of Katie Miller laughing her ass off while RFK Jr, is trying to tell stories about what a homoerotic piece of man-hunk Trump is. via @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social youtu.be/DuuajsiakP0

Megyn "Sex Pestiny was right, girls the age of my daughter should be legal" Kelly was very disturbed by the SCOTUS Judges using preferred pronouns instead of "biological pronouns", whatever those are. And she wants everyone to know she thinks Elon Musk is right and "cis" is a slur.

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Ben Carson made up a story where he was a poor black kid who was so angry he grabbed a knife and stabbed another kid and the knife broke off on the boy's beltbuckle. And that was a more wholesome story than his latest "drink whole milk" hostage video.

We must continue the work to abolish ICE. But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

Please stop using beloved actor Daniel Radcliffe, the property of hateful bigot JK Rowling, but okay, I laughed.

One of the more disturbing things we have learned thanks to "AI chatbots" is that you don't need *actual* intelligence to have a "personality", whether snarky, pleasing, needy, LLM's can impersonate "having personality" without understanding what they're doing.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

Now I want to cry...

Angel baby Lotus had her first puppy class and may have been the kid who keeps interrupting the teacher.

A more accesible book for those intimidated by Gerald Horne. Read it yourself, give it to a normie friend, or to that annoying leftist who laughs at you for not reading Marx's Capital but insists "racism is real, structural racism isn't".

"@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is selling out the principles he pretended to have the right way" by @ezraklein.bsky.social

Just seeing Gavin Newsome hanging out with Ben Shapiro and being like “nah, ICE is cool” while my city is torn apart by ICE.

Reagan is probably looking up at California and smiling.
