This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

What exactly is the point of this, that even people who voted against him should feel bad? No thank you!

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

People are unable to grok the possibility that telling voters exactly what Trump would do and being ignored led Democrats to the reasonable conclusion that voters are selfish, willfully ignorant children

I think a lot of folks do not want to grapple with the fact that most Republicans are so committed to fascism that they'll support it even after it directly tries to murder them.

Oops, all gender!

It is important to say aloud the words "The president might invade Greenland because he doesn't understand Mercator projection map distortions and he thinks Denmark's government won't get him a Nobel Peace Prize." This is a real statement. These is our lives.

"I have a right to do this or I don't. If I don't you should arrest me right now. And if I do...stop doing this weird crap" is going to stick with me

fuck every single do-nothing whiner who ever complained about Will Stancil, or made mocking him their identity. This is a mensch. This is a patriot. This bravery, from people like Will, is what makes me proud of my country.

The next big thing in reality TV cop shows is Will Stancil shouting "just arrest me gosh darn it" and apologizing under his breath to another driver as he gently squeezes them out so he can stay on the tail of an ICE squad.

10/10. No notes.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Incidentally the best explanation we've been given for why the President is so hot to annex Greenland is that it is 'psychologically necessary for success.'

I keep thinking about them saying "haven't you learned [from Renee Good's murder]" and... they don't understand why people are still coming out after they've shown they can and will kill us, because they're cowards, and they don't understand what it's like not to be a coward

OH HELL YES

Thinking about the contrast to how they covered Bill Clinton having a brief conversation with Loretta Lynch between flights.

I'll say again that this is little different from the gestapo going door to door rounding up Jews.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I'm sorry but as a longstanding anti-anti-Will Stancilite it's so inspiring to watch him laugh off ICE agents as he actively trails them to his house while teeth-gnashing keyboard warrior nihilists lose their minds obsessively posting at him

Neon Liberalism #60: Samantha and guest Will Stancil talk the murder of Renée Good and the Trump administration's larger assault on Minneapolis. Will is working with his neighborhood rapid reaction group in Minneapolis, and he recounts witnessing ICE abductions and confronting ICE agents.

Damn!

The look of revulsion on her face 🧑‍🍳 😘

He shot her in the face, three times, because he wanted her to die. Simple as.

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

GO TO 1:25 IN THIS VIDEO IMMEDIATELY

No but seriously, there’s no reason to be attached to that specific word

Hoping the off-ramp is Trump declaring victory in forcing greater European military mobilization 🤞

Great piece, particularly this passage:

There are more of us than there are of them.

Local pizza joint leads insurgency against federal paramilitary forces. Wrecktangle Pizza co-owner: "You can see from that video exactly what happens when they try to fuck with us." www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQUo...

Great message because just articulating what the bill does also tells you about the Democrats’ values and priorities is contrast to Trump’s. Well done!

Polling during Biden's Presidency showed that Americans believed unemployment was at *all time highs* when it was actually at all time lows. The media comprehensively and systematically lied to Americans

People who actually want to live that anti fascist life must overcome their misogyny first. It’s an essential part of the work.

What. Is going on. With CNN

Men don’t call a woman a fucking bitch when they’re afraid for their lives—they say it when they hate us. They say it when they’re punishing us. jessica.substack.com/p/ice-shooti...

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

really aggravating that the NYT has a huge pack of the best journalists on the planet, and then nearly all of the key decisions regarding attention, framing, and overall coverage are driven by a crypto right wing nepo baby and a dozen-ish of his toadies

"The rollback of desegregation orders and civil rights protections represents more than a policy change; it’s a fundamental assault on the principle that all children deserve equal educational opportunities." New from @theprogressivemag.bsky.social progressive.org/public-schoo...

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

BREAKING: New footage from Minnesota of ICE detaining a kid in the freezing cold. Imagine if this was your child.

‘A bombshell’: doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body

Good article on how the male loneliness epidemic discourse obfuscates that loneliness is a widespread phenomenon that primarily affects young people and may actually be more concentrated among women www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-loneli...

one lesson of trump's success is the power of taking what's basically an untenable, pandering position ("we'll only deport the bad guys") and then just doing what you want when you enter office

The right rhetorical trick here is "we're going to dismantle DHS but we're going to increase the Coast Guard's budget to maintain security." Nobody hates the Coast Guard.

Notable the second video I've seen of an ICE agent lecturing down about not having "learned" the lesson of a murder, as if they are our teachers. That's how they're going to rationalize into doing it again—they're willing to kill as many of us as it takes for us to learn our place.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

I know the doctor who ICE blocked from helping Renee Good. (I won’t identify him since he hasn’t chosen to identify himself.) I’m glad to see this part of ICE’s crime get more attention.
