The ICE killing of Renee Macklin Good was a crystallization of the moment, and a warning of how the Trump administration pushes to see what it can get away with. I hope the pushback is an avalanche. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

This is my favourite Bowie obscurity, a remake of a great early b-side. Possibly my favourite song about severe depression. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xsS...

Bon week-end les bleus 🦋

Blumen unter Eis. Guten Morgen 🥶

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.” “What is will power?” asked Toad.

I think we should just end the game now and put #Oregon out of its misery. (They can just take solace in the fact that they got more points than #Alabama did)

I’m working on my first real drawing since my father died in September and we moved north. Last year took a lot out of me but this feels good. 🖤 #art #drawing #nature #feather

If only Greenland belonged to a nuclear armed mutual defense alliance.

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." Proudly, openly a liar.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

I needed this

Where’s the lie

Stop fucking posting on X, the white nationalist site for white nationalists.

just a gentle reminder that if you are going through it right now—and who amongst us isn't—there is zero need to watch the news, cable or otherwise, you already know what's going on and there is no need to re-traumatize yourself repeatedly only this time with more commercials

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

Newly-released footage reveals Renee Nicole Good’s last words.

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals. Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

The next primary for Colorado governor is June 30th, 2026.

ICE on the left, Patriot Front white supremacists on the right. Or wait, no. Patriot Front white supremacists on the left. No, no, no. It's the other way. ICE on the left and . . . honestly, who knows. Totally indistinguishable organizations.

Last year, a movie about a family torn apart under a fascist American regime came and went. You probably didn't even know it existed — but now 'Anniversary' is available to stream, and worth watching.

keep 'em coming

"We stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns." Renee Macklin Good's wife Becca Good speaks out: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Seven Dem senators voted to confirm a Trump judicial nominee today, and I really do not think I'm asking for much when I say that Democrats should not be doing favors for a president whose masked thugs murdered a woman in the streets 24 hours ago www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I think it should be a bigger deal that Trump's federal judicial nominees can't bring themselves to say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election or that the January 6 insurrection was bad

If ANY of the so called ‘Never Trumpers, Bulwark Bros and bug-eyed carpet bagging freaks were even mildly effective don’t you think we would have seen better results over 3 (!) election cycles. They’re in it for media hits and podcast ratings. Wise up & save USA, at the very least save your $$.

I’m sorry the decorum argument was dead ten fucking years ago when the entire republican party hitched themselves to mister “grab them by the pussy” come on

my politics are domestically now largely anti kidnapping and anti murder, an apparently controversial position to the majority on Capitol Hill

A credulous media will be the death of the Republic

💯

a friendless nazi loser since his youth, these dorks need to be mocked every waking hour-

job creation under Trump sucks compared to Biden-

Leaving my house with the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag on it, putting on my mask and tactical gear, strapping on my weapon, and roaming the cities and towns that didn’t vote for my favorite candidate as an armed anonymous agent of the state kidnapping and shooting people who I don’t like the look of.

Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré who brought compassion, common sense and order during chaos of Katrina. He tells it like it is. He said once arms are raised against citizens, it's hard to come back from that and that SCOTUS won't save us. He said we can't be passive and save a democracy. 🌱⚜️

At least we have the glorious renaissance of good old-fashioned manufacturing jobs as a result of Trump's vision. Oh so we lost about 100,000 manufacturing jobs this year. Do they not count my pyramid scheme-based envelope stuffing home business as manufacturing?

"Don't Tread On Me" flag by the guy who gets paid to tread on people is just so quintessentially American

Don’t get me wrong... I love a good foot fetishist. And gay men are the bomb. No shame in being a mall cop. Closeted? Your business. But a closeted gay foot fetishist mall cop who gets off on beating & kidnapping vulnerable people & then murders an innocent woman? FUCK THAT FUCKING FUCK.
