DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

MLK understood something many people forget now: nonviolent...disciplined protest forces the CONTRAST. His marches didn’t create chaos..they EXPOSED it...when segregationists resorted to force. That moral clarity is why history remembers King...not Wallace. Optics + discipline changed the country.

A coward then, and a coward today.

Re: Greenland, sacrificing soft power you can use to control the whole world for some land you already have access to is the work of meme-addled morons. That they think it will politically benefit them for the midterms is an extra layer of stupid

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

The Hmong people were brave allies to the U.S. during the Vietnam War. Let's not forget that they've earned a place in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

During 1st Trump term insiders kept writing 'Jared and Ivanka privately appalled" stories which never had any bearing on policies but were pushed by Javanka to convince their social circles that they had nothing to do with those particular horrors and should still be invited to things. This is that.

The entire reactionary project in a nutshell. A bunch of elite rubes annoyed at anyone they view as beneath them being used by billionaires and oligarchs to crush opposition and be discarded when they're no longer useful.

We need more of this stuff. “Why do they get to veto my first amendment rights “ is what we should always ask people who do this sea lioning bullshit

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

So how do the failure to cut spending line up with DOGE's claims? The wall of receipts was mostly a wall of lies, based on double-counting, claiming pre-existing cuts, claiming programs that remain in place have been eliminated, or vastly exaggerating the scale of cuts.

Lets start with DOGE's stated goals: Did it cut $1 trillion in spending and halve the deficit? No. Looking at aggregate spending patterns, you would have no idea that DOGE existed.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

Unqualified DOJ lawyers appearing in front of federal judges is a good thing IMO The competent fascists are worse bsky.app/profile/surl...

How're you gonna stay anchoring one of the (formerly) main news broadcasts in the country after the moron president tells you to your face on TV, not inaccurately, that he got you your job

Be aware that these are considered NFA registered destructive devices, and the unlicensed possession of them is a quarter million dollar fine in 25 years in jail. Do not pick them up, notwithstanding the safety aspects, you are in serious lethal Jeopardy If found in possession of one.

This really is like playing the worst version of "Counter Strike" imaginable.

Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

Daniel Dale’s “Trump fact-checks” have reached parody level. This is today’s. 🤡 @ddale8.bsky.social @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/01/13/p...

Gorsuch jumped in to save him from whatever the fuck Kagan was about to do to him. I'm not even mad at Gorsuch because Kagan was straight up about to eat his liver with a nice chianti.

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it. Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

“Sometimes public service requires standing firm in the face of threats, which is what this unambiguously is” How did the banker dude get here before the leaders of every self-mythologizing media organization or even Congress

If anyone has seen this on TikTok, turns out it's complete fiction. Minn. Stat. § 609.066 is on the subject of authorized use of deadly force by peace officers, but this text is not there. Like, the words "driver", "accelerates" and "toward" are all entirely absent.

Should they have cared about all this before now? Yes. Did you reach the right position before them? Sure, here's a gold star. Do we need their numbers to make this work? Yes. Please stop acting like the hipster who knew about this band before anyone else. We actually do need the normies.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

/2 But if, when folks are risking their lives to oppose ICE, and people are talking about how to best defend them and how we might support each other and do right, the role YOU are called to is to slump in and tell us what we are talking about is naive and meaningless, you can just fuck right off.

This is… A) …market-moving information. And, in fact, it appears there was action on Polymarket around the time of this post B) …another attack on the (still reliable) work of the professionals at BLS. C) …yet another example of him not believing the rules apply to him, and getting away w it

Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree. "I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says. A Dem House should be for defunding. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO interesting that he wasn’t saying *THAT horseshit* on… Jan 6, 2021!! - Quit demonstrating? 🤨 - Quit yelling at and challenging law enforcement? They KILLED cops - Begin to get civil? HIS team broke windows, and shit on the floors/walls of our capitol! Damn. He can STFU. For real.

Blame flat maps: Greenland appears the same size as Africa (while Africa is actually 14 times larger). Greenland's area is comparable to Democratic Republic of the Congo's alone.

Shrinkage. It’s cold up there.

Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

I AM FURIOUSLY TAPPING THE SIGN

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority. Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: Trump’s military action in Venezuela is further isolating the U.S., has no strategy, threatens to destabilize Latin America and raises serious concerns about Trump's mental decline, warn former senior nat-sec officials. "Jackassery." www.huffpost.com/entry/nation...

The Department of Homeland Security released a Maryland woman who was held for 25 days despite evidence that her lawyers say proves she was born in the United States and is a citizen.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

I like that all of them decided to imply that they believe Trump can improve the economy if he focused on it, rather than calling him an imbecile with terrible ideas.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.
