once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment

What if we kissed at the local salamander crossing @brightsides.bsky.social

Wheeler Wildlife Refuge, today. Sell all my cameras, buy 600mm lenses and just shoot birds. Don't tempt me, I'll do it. Ft. @brightsides.bsky.social

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend. Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

Good catch.

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... "A prominent anti-DEI campaigner appointed by Meta in August as an adviser on AI bias has spent the weeks since his appointment spreading disinformation about shootings, transgender people, vaccines, crime, and protests."

It’s always exactly who you think it is. Every time.

Read. And support mfp.

At the beginning of the pandemic, a guy tried to crash a hijacked train into a boat because he thought all of the Pizzagate babies were in there. One of dozens of things from that year that went basically uncovered outside of my beat.

(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad

Fyi one of the Kirk videos is incredibly graphic. If you're looking at media of the event (especially on Twitter) make sure your sensitivity settings are where you'd want them to be.

Bessemer, Alabama. @brightsides.bsky.social hollering at me to pull over, there's a car on the roof. Kentmere 200, Zeiss Nettar that I somehow took apart and reassembled and it still works. I'm as shocked as you are.

Not sure what to do about the fact that this country’s latest illegal war is being waged by a presidential administration that consists, top to bottom, of people who lie about everything, all the time

Being a millennial is just: Watch a bunch of people die on live television in middle school homeroom See America get excited about killing Middle Eastern people - literally forever apparently Being in debt Everyone asking you why your whole generation is so depressed and anxious all the time

“This is not constitutional!” I cry as the temu-bought katana enters my belly

They're bringing back dump shit from the y2k like war with Iran when we could bring back cool shit like Less than Jake

They are driving this shit into people’s backyards. Jesus.

People like when you unapologetically stand for something, specifically the working class. This shouldn't be seen as some super lefty position, and we shouldn't need a poll to tell us it either.

“the US public needs to know that the routine vaccination of approx 117 million children from 1994-2023 likely prevented around 508 million lifetime cases of illness, 32 million hospitalizations, and 1,129 000 deaths” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

UPDATE: The Los Angeles Press Club has filed suit against the city of Los Angeles and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell in the Central District of California's federal courts over its actions toward journalists covering anti-ICE protests in recent days. /more

Way to set the tone, Mark. 😁

Anyone but Putin.

So the guy who can singlehandedly set US tariffs on smartphones is launching his own US smartphone company do I have that right

Minnesota aw enforcement officers on Sunday night arrested Vance Boelter, who is accused of assassinating state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband at their home as part of a larger plot to kill Democratic elected officials. From our sister outlet, @minnesotareformer.com.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

This makes my night. Some of the best (and most ridiculous) work I ever did is in that repo and now it’s not lost to time.

Got fired from the drive thru for telling customers “The root of your suffering is your desire”

Some women want love. Some seek power and money. Some seek attention and fame. Me? I just want to know who the administrator of DOGE really is. My manifesto, my magnum opus—“The WITAOD Chronicles”—is out now. ⬇️ 👇 www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

I’m just going to say that “Road Rules” should never again be considered a qualification to be Transportation Secretary.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

just another day in the exoneration/no angels pits

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

the most cruel administration of all time. them being this outwardly evil genuinely might be their downfall in the end

It would be so funny if they excommunicated him

making it clear how normal and deserving of custody i am with my cool truck

i hate how accurate this has been

I'm so sorry.

they look at russia — a stagnant backwater — with envy

There it is. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

(AP) — Trump invokes Alien Enemy Act of 1798, assuming wartime authority to speed up mass deportations.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Meet the new deputy director of ICE. A political operative with no law enforcement experience who graduated from college 5 years ago. She can’t even fill in for the top job because she’s not eligible. www.hstoday.us/subject-matt...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
