rare to get such a clear glimpse into the mind of someone whose response to problems in his personal life was to blame black people

Really encapsulates all that is wrong with amplifying “contrarian” influencers as some sort of experts…when we all know they’re out of their depth, fact-free know nothings who are only committed to a bit for for the grift….and when we live in a nation of gullible dipshits, tragedy follows.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

Eric Lee, an immigration attorney out of Michigan, reports that the Dilly center has been put on lockdown

My family teased me so much for being a Medieval and Renaissance Studies major but who has the last laugh now that we're heading for the second dark ages? If anyone needs me I'll be in my anchorhold, happy to exchange consulting services for boiled turnips.

State prosecutors absolutely can and absolutely should bring charges against federal officers who commit crimes within their jurisdiction.

I miss having a legitimate government

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime. www.ms.now/news/no-civi...

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Kristi, baby, they’re going to put you down like a dog! You’re already on the way to the gravel quarry, Kristi! You’ve gotta bite someone on the way out! You’ve gotta make them pay!

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.

NEWS: @raskin.house.gov’s statement on the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem:

Does that need to be disclosed as a campaign contribution?

I heard someone say it was “extreme” to demand the names of the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti. No. Demanding government disclosure of the names of government agents when they kill Americans is moderate. Wanting to read the names off the plaque at a mass grave would be, perhaps, extreme.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Not ideal that large groups of people all over the world (or at least the English-speaking world in particular) are going nuts in the same ways at the same time. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wild fact of the day.

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Every American veteran and every employee of the VA should rest assured that if their government murders them, Doug Collins will only blame them implicitly, not explicitly, because Doug Collins is a coward.

Italian journalists of RAI (the Italian major TV and public station) stopped and threatened by ICE. This should not be the narrative the US government wants to send abroad.

the traditional way we prevent mob violence in this sort of situation is by holding the killer to account so the mob doesn't feel justified

“If your state doesn’t help us we will be forced to murder its citizens” is an argument that only works on people who are already subnormal bootlickers.

I just...

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

I will NEVER stop being murdered!

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

I just see five pictures of people who like being very rich and think their inherent personal value, no matter what actions they take, is greater than an average citizen's.

don't really want to argue about the ethics of genAI overall right at the moment but if you're giving OpenAI in particular your money please consider literally any other option

This kind of cowardly response was also typical during the civil rights movements of the 1960s -- the white moderates who want to "ease tensions" that MLK destroyed in his Letter From Birmingham Jail

More profiles in cowardice: Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill and roughly four dozen other large MN companies issued a public letter calling for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions” in the state. Stops short of condemning the killings or who is responsible for them.

Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled. Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?

Liberals need to discover a way for their values not to be the source of their own destruction bsky.app/profile/saba...

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

you’ll never guess what this was in reply to

Those blaming failure to "reduce tensions" by telling protestors to stay home want you to be ok with/forget that masked federal thugs just murdered a man in broad daylight It's not a time to reduce tension. It's a time to stand up in overwhelming numbers They SHOULD be afraid of what happens next

America as you have known it dying because we have to build this country better. Full stop. Holding on to the fantasy nostalgia doesn't help the people of Minneapolis, or anyone captured by ICE. You have lived with an illusion of freedom, but this is Authoritarianism 101.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.
