MacKenzie Scott has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

Nope, we want it all DEFUNDED and ABOLISHED. ICE, CBP, DHS. Look at the fucking polls of Democratic voters. Your voters, theoretically?! Stop spending your time siphoning all our money to Netanyahu and be useful for once. You feckless clown. - from Minneapolis

21 Republicans voted against the funding bill. If Democrats were a united block it would have failed and DHS would NOT have been funded. But these 21 corporate Democrats, including my corrupt congressman @repbillfoster.bsky.social happily voted with the MAGA Trump agenda, and the vote passed.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered? Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done? Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?

Wow, seems that @gog.com has decided AI is more important than supporting artists and games. This might be the most offensive betrayal of "people that should fucking know better" for AI that I've seen so far. Probably not, but it feels like it. www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/gog-...

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Here’s some info on Allen, Oren, and Tal, three brothers mentioned in those documents. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Trump says China will not let Canada play hockey after they sign a trade agreement.

COLBERT: “.. Do not compare ICE or the border patrol to the Nazis. .. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.” @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

It is not, and it has never been, about protecting the children It is always, always about domination and control

Even if everything the administration is saying about Pretti was true, which it clearly isn't, wouldn't 10 shots be excessive? I'll admit to my complete lack of experience, but even copaganda has taught me that much. Immediately putting the shooter back in the field also seems bad psychologically.

I just got multiplr strikes for saying his back was turned.

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

The whole interview is worth it

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

They’re kidnapping, trafficking and torturing children in MN but hey Amy’s having fun! @klobuchar.senate.gov

This photo will be everywhere for the next week. Pls credit prominently. Richard Tsong-Taatarii/Minnesota Star Tribune Every journalist covering ICE risks their lives. Tsong-Taatarii has been an NPPA Photographer of the Year, rec'd a World Press Photo award, and was on a team that won a Pulitzer.

Just noticed this new FAA NOTAM from Jan 16th, which prohibits drone operators from flying within 3000 feet laterally or 1000 feet above DHS, DOD, and DOE "facilities and mobile assets, including ground vehicle convoys and their associated escorts." tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=d...

I will admit the high price of groceries is really hitting me right now because I’M BUYING GROCERIES TO DELIVER TO MY NEIGHBORS WHO CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HAS SENT AN OCCUPYING FORCE OF FUCKSTICKS TO MY CITY.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Germany sends troops to Greenland. Germany has seen this movie before. They played the bad guys then. They want a different role in the sequel.

This dude rules

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

Somewhere in Minneapolis, there’s a teenage girl hiding in an attic, writing in her diary.

She’s always shooting her own dogs 😔

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

Happy anniversary to the last time a Republican actually took a stand

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want? M: *yells*

The previous modern standard for murdering people en masse while effecting an arrest warrant involved members of a Waco religious cult (76), or group home occupants (11) in West Philadelphia or the Chicago abode of some Blank Panthers (2 dead, more wounded). Trump now holds the record.

I've already made multiple "that's the [____]est thing I've seen all year" comments, and really should be stopped. Although after the frustrations of the end of 2025, I'll forgive myself as long as I get it out of my system by Saturday.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
