If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Spanberger has been surprisingly (to me) willing to meet her party where it is rather than holding fast to centrist dogma. encouraging stuff. we’ll see if it lasts.

I confess! I'm confessing! I'm doing the thing you're arguing in federal court is illegal! Your agents have recorded me doing it, I have recorded myself doing it. You know my name and address. So why aren't you kicking down my door? It's almost like you DON'T HAVE A CASE, @icegov.bsky.social.

Didn’t know this happened. Also the reboot is on Hulu now www.indiewire.com/features/int...

I can't repeat this enough.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:

EU is preparing a form of “lightweight membership” for Ukraine under an accelerated model, the FT reports. Ukraine would initially have no voting rights at summits or ministerial meetings, while gradually gaining access to the single market, agricultural subsidies, and development funding.

Okay, can confirm he is indeed wet. More string deployed.

Some of my favourite lesser-known 50's B-movie monsters. Titles in the alt text.

“…a mother is now dead, and the militias have not risen up in Renee Good’s name. If they are in Minneapolis now, it is most likely on the other side.” Another banger from @sarahjeong.bsky.social at @theverge.com www.theverge.com/policy/86363...

As screenwriter of the Labubu movie I want to clear up some misconceptions. Yes, technically they do eat human flesh, but only necrotic tissue around wounds. Doctors use them to clean up injuries and promote positive health outcomes. Labubus are humanity’s allies, except for evil Labubus of course

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.

Another federal raid on a home in the Twin Cities, and right away the government version of what happened is highly suspicious. As a rule, suspects in drug investigations are not rushed to out-of-state dentation centers. Good reporting, @fox9mn.bsky.social www.fox9.com/news/federal...

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

Massive crowds have taken to the streets of Nuuk to protest the Trump administration with one message: Greenland is not for sale. It is not negotiable.

Seriously, what the fuck kind of attempt at justification is that though.

empathy is toxic, bro

Counterdemo has continued to grow. A few hundred people here now in the cold shouting, "hey Minnesota, what do you say? Fuck you Nazis, every day!" Lang is uhhh somewhere in there surrounded by press and people still shouting him down. Haven't been able to hear him at all.

*much of America will be punished with a 10% tax hike on European goods for Europe not giving us Greenland

Earlier this week, several Wall Street desks suggested we were past “peak tariff uncertainty.” 🤡 @apnews.com apnews.com/article/denm...

it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

This dude rules

Since it sounds like Bone Temple is A+ horror I have hoovered up the other 28 Days movies in the series. I remember liking the first one fine when it first came out, I know people have reservations about the second but I'm still excited to watch it, and the 28 years later seems well received.

I really want to enjoy this post but it involves absolutely zero citations

they told us folding on the shutdown was a big ol’ W because the epstein files would be released

Man, historians talking about this period are going to be falling over themselves to explain why American just decided to start socking its allies left and right for no real gain. But I feel some will try and 4D chess this moment when it feels like simple greed and want of power with lack of shame.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

“Once in operation, electronic surveillance techniques record not merely conversations about criminal, treasonable, or espionage-related activities, but all conversations about the full range of human events.”

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

I miss the evil billionaires who'd try to buy their way into heaven by funding massive public libraries

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

Trying to protect everything from everyone all the time is a good way to drive yourself crazy. This is why we threat model. Here is EFF's Surveillance Self Defense guide to putting together your security plan, also known as threat modeling: ssd.eff.org/module/your-...

Well Fuck.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect. The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple. He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated. 📸: Pierre Lavie

What we are experiencing is 25x of the Midway Blitz.

Hero.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

For the first time in the history of Bluesky you have the opportunity to block ICE.

Impeach Bondi and Noem

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

This entire claim is outright nonsense because in a mass deportation situation, Minnesota is projected to GAIN a Congressional seat, because Florida, Texas, and California all lose one as their population declines proportionately more.
