Boycott.

So while Elon’s MEMPHIS-based Grok is undressing kids and women, Hegseth is incorporating it into the Pentagon

A company, and indeed the very piece of software made and operated by that company, that is unapologetically publishing kiddie porn at the behest of the worst people on the internet

Possibly they'll give the Joker this line in the next Batman film for the moment after he murders an innocent. Few will recall it as a quote from a federal official gloating over killing an American.

There was an ICE raid in my town yesterday. The town is seeking immigration attorneys to help those who were detained, and there is a GoFundMe for the high school senior who was taken. Here are the links for those who can: Info: patch.com/new-jersey/m... GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Jeffries: "Kristi Noem should stop hiding behind her MAGA wardrobe and actually come before the Congress and face the American people through their elected representatives"

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

If they're blocked from conducting legally sanctioned oversight by 25 armed ICE officers, they need to go back with 50 U.S. marshals. They can't just fucking give up and say "oh well, guess we're not allowed to do our jobs".

Kaine: "I can tell you this -- we will force a vote in the Senate about no US military action in Greenland or Denmark if we need to. We will get overwhelmingly bipartisan support that this president is foolish to even suggest this."

Rep. Angie Craig: "We're gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem"

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “Trump, Vance, Bondi are engaged in one of the greatest cover-ups we’ve seen when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the protection of people in power or close to power.”

1987 Topps have been popular on this thread, so I’ll pivot back to that set along with some Score options Claim any 3 Both recent & new claimers are always welcomed US address only please

Again: USELESS FUCKS.

Welcome to the Clicktatorship, where everything is content

Renee Good won a national prize six years ago for her poem "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs," which muses on science and faith. Good was shot to death by an ICE agent this week in Minneapolis.

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

Hard to think of a better example of the Streisand effect than Johnson stopping a plaque from going up resulting in 100 plaques going up.

“Speaker Sexton has been at the White House working with Stephen Miller 😕on immigration bills. Tennessee will be the model.” Rep. Jason Zachary (R) tells KNOXVILLE Republicans the supermajority will bully immigrants this session. (using #’s from an SPLC-designated hate group)

18 years ago, we started ProPublica to do hard-hitting, rigorous journalism that exposes wrongdoing and injustice. If you have a tip related to the Trump administration, we want to hear it. Here's how to contact our reporters securely: www.propublica.org/tips/

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior. Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

The @guardian gets the headline right 🏆 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ROGERS: Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage? TRUMP: Yeah. There's one thing. My own morality. My own mind. That's the only thing that can stop me. KANNO-YOUNGS: Not international law? TRUMP: I don't need international law. I'm not looking to hurt people.

To recap: we’ve now seen two ICE goons point their guns at unarmed protesters heads— at protests about them shooting a woman in the head. These guys are so out of control.

Seriously, I am shy, please come talk to me and save me from having to approach people cold.

Mayor Frey: "So our ask is really simple here. Our ask is to embrace the truth. Our ask is to include the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in this process because we in Minneapolis want a fair investigation ... if you got nothing to hide from, then don't hide."

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

Congress’ most liberal Democrats are pushing for an all-out fight to rein in Trump’s hardline immigration policy after this week’s deadly shooting by an ICE officer in Minnesota — even if it means risking another shutdown. But those progressives are running into resistance from others in the party.

"Trump told the New York Times in an interview published Thursday there was only 'one thing' to limit his global power. 'My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me.' He added: 'I don't need international law,'" writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/3NCH8bG

"All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o... Opinion | By Killing Renee Good, ICE Sent a Message to Us All (Gift Article)

What People Magazine is doing is very important because it’s not the view from “the right” or “the left.” It’s the view from reality for anyone with a functioning brain They’re calling balls and strikes with “here is what happened” and “here is what was said.” It’s calm, straight-forward journalism

“… is not even a law-governed constitutional state”: correct. There may come a point where governors run out of choices but to acknowledge that the Trump administration rejects the governance of the Constitution in domestic affairs — and to take steps accordingly in protection of their citizens.

Over the last however many years I have become increasingly disillusioned about the NYT and their deferential coverage of this administration. But this analysis and the no-nonsense headline directly addresses the stuff I complained about in the previous posts.

Yes. The point of outright lies contradicting what we can all see isn't to convince anyone in a genuine debate, it is to assist their confederates in creating enough noise, they hope, to bring the truth into doubt for those who aren't going to review the evidence.

More than 1,000 charities submitted federal tax filings without language reflecting diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in mission statements from their earlier filings. Others went as far as to change their names. (Published Dec. 2025)

13 year old daughter went out to fix the Snowman for a second time yesterday and then compared it to the Ship of Theseus.

Headed to #AHA26 today, recorder and mic in hand! If you see me in the book exhibit, come say hi and tell me the most influential writing advice you know!

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

I saw a video of the doctor who asked to assess the victim and when he told ICE "I'm a physician!" They responded with, "I don't care." Just fucking sickening.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "We owe it to this woman, to her family, and to the American public to ensure that an investigation does occur and follows all the available evidence to its logical conclusion."

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

You'll have to forgive the detour today. After ICE murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis, they raided my nephew's high school & took 2 teachers away. Kids were still in the school when this happened. This is beyond fucked up. This criminal administration must be stopped. Put them all in prison.

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them." (Published Oct. 2025)
