Amazing, accurate thread.

Some 600 immigrant kids were sent to federal custody by ICE in 2025. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn. (Published Nov. 2025)

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

We’ve been withdrawn from over 30 international organizations, treaties, and conventions as of today, including multiple UN ones, as well as many having to do with energy, security, and human rights www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

three days into 2026 and our authoritarian government has already launched a violent racist propaganda campaign against taxpayer funded childcare (with the help of our garbage press) and illegally invaded a foreign country (with the help of our garbage press)

I’m going to need #BlueSky to introduce 🤦‍♀️ as a reaction in addition to ❤️…so much of this chaotic insanity feels wrong to “heart”. #Facepalm feels more appropriate. #oy

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

Effective today, CA’s ban on law enforcement wearing masks (with exceptions for undercover) takes effect. ICE agents will be identified and held accountable for their human rights violations in CA. Trump can’t pardon CA State convictions #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue m.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Rx...

Goodbye 2025, and good riddance to you. You truly sucked ass. Give us something good, 2026. 🙏🙏Manifest that.🙏🙏

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... So long, American exceptionalism

I always think about the maya Angelou quote because it’s really true, “People will always remember how you made them feel,"

Really tired of these daily CNN clips of Abby Phillip or whoever else owning Scott Jennings. Jennings is a MAGA fascist. He's a Nazi. And they're at the table talking to him. Everyone knows how many Nazis we have when there's one Nazi at the table and nine people hanging out with him every night.

on some level you have to stand in awe of the gall it takes to use this tone about someone people are angry at for suppressing a story about a concentration camp

I have always been proud of the foundation I got growing up in NJ, from my public education & at Temple where we learned about the Holocaust…a lot. Now in the state warehouses are being converted to be part of the USA concentration camp network. Rough timeline to be empathetic & observant. #meltice

They’re not gonna do shit. They’re gonna bitch for a bit and then shut the fuck and pay a little more in taxes and use their financial advisors to get out of most of it. Stop with these stupid fucking articles.

💯 this. And as a Jewish woman I am beyond tired of all those who align themselves with the N*zi sympathizer party (GOP) claiming “Jew hatred” when they’re called out. They’re just projecting how they feel about themselves.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Been using this for a while and sad-but-glad it’s catching on. Sad it has to. #magat

“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

Waiting to see who their Rick Caruso is…iykyk. But still enjoying singing the very catchy “Trmp is on the Epstein List” song on repeat.

UPDATE!!! Back to a “divisive” downgrade. WTF?!?! To any Jew who voted for these people/their allies…this is the price we all must pay for your idiocy. Make sw*stikas hate symbols again! #mshsa #neverforget Happy Hanukkah from this administration I guess… www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So rando American civilians can criticize CKand get fired, but our fucking PRESIDENT can get up there on the national stage and call Rob Reiner a deranged person and that's just totally fine and okay? I am hoping for the day when the push notification comes.

🧵

A true legendary artist doesn’t only contribute their art to the world…they use their privilege & talent to make the world a better place. RIP is not enough. May their memories be a blessing.

Rob Reiner had a hand in writing, producing, directing, knowing a guy, pairing up talents, punching up a script on the down low, doing a cameo for like so much of the funniest shit coming out of Hollywood the last 50 years. His influence is seen everywhere

This entire weekend

2025 has just been a year of incalculable loss, culturally speaking. It does not feel fair to have this year bookended by the preventable deaths of David Lynch and Rob Reiner and various other deeply unfair and evil shit happening to the medium of film on top of that

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Hanukkah teaches us that light overcomes the darkness. May each candle lit be a reminder of resilience and to stand with one another against hate.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration. Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organizations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov — still feeling good about your vote to confirm this monster?

ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them. 6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th. Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent. Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military. That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

If you want to make your own whistle kits or do 3d printing of whistles etc @dansinker.com has got you covered dansinker.com/posts/2025-1... and there are also a ton of "how to help" links from @lefttheprairie.bsky.social linktr.ee/apwhistles
