This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Israel's murder of Hind Rajab did indeed pretty much literally prove this true. Then when we got all the evidence, they considered promoting the guy who gave the order to spokesperson of the Israeli army.

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes. You support murder.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

They use "civility" as a weapon against us. Because they'll say stuff like, "while what happened was a clearly tragedy, there's no call for that kind of language about it." An elected official saying "fuck" is not worthy of equal debate with a murder by "law" enforcement. That's oppressor shit.

Accurate.

LA Metro is moving ahead with an automated metro subway route linking UCLA and the San Fernando Valley, providing an effective transit option in one of the most trafficked corridors in the nation.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

Let's make this clear, if you are a part of DHS, ICE, or Border patrol. You are complicit, you are breaking the law & constitutional rights of legals and illegals. Defund, dismantle, and end DHS / ICE. Push Border Patrol all the way back to the BORDERS. Mass arrests, indictments, impeachments.

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

Amazing to me that Donald Trump has not been asked once to comment on this insanely Neo-Nazi post from his Homeland Security department, nor asked who are the 50 to 60 *million* US citizens that his DHS say they want to ‘deport.’

Well, I would but @discord.com refuses to listen....

If you agree its time to impeach and remove Kristi Noem, heres how you can make your voice heard:

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Looking for something to do from Washington to hold murderous ICE agents accountable? Sign your name in "pro" on the #WALeg bill to ban all law enforcement from hiding their identities with masks: app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Every one of these announcements reads to me as "we don't have enough people and supplies to occupy more than one city at a time"

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

Make it viral.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino on the scene with hundreds of federal officers at Portland and 34th street where the City of Minneapolis has confirmed a shooting involving federal law enforcement. The community tells me an ICE officer shot an observer, I cannot confirm this myself.

There's still meant to be a ceasefire btw. But at least 414 Palestinians have been killed and 1,145 injured (that we know of) since that ceasefire went into effect, with Israel now physically occupying more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

An unbelievable take from the Wall Street Journal.

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

we need more allies doing stuff like this instead of sharing screenshots of content by white supremacists

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Some Californians will now have to pay for first responder emergency services that have historically been free. Starting this year, people in San Jose will have to pay $427 to the fire department for providing paramedic services.

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

The original version of Disney’s Pluto has now entered public domain.

It's January 1st... which means NEW WORKS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. And, like every year, we celebrate with a public domain game jam. The tools for creating games are getting easier and easier so consider joining in and making something amazing out of the public domain!

I’m trying to think what would have happened if, during the Mississippi welfare fraud scandal between 2020 and 2023, the Biden administration had halted *all* federal welfare funding to Mississippi. The right would have lost it; Fox & GOP would have called for an armed revolt.

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.
