This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban. “I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.” Full remarks:

This is a MUST WATCH - you won't regret it. youtu.be/_FKcP8j010o

The Feds shoot 2 people…..and then…just didn’t do anything about it? Like the 2 people shot just left. After being shot. Great job securing the scene fellas.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

The regime will do everything it can to avoid that because they want their Schutzstaffel to understand that they have a greenlight to inflict violence without consequence. In fact, the regime will shield them from consequence.

Tehran 🔥👀

State of play: Forensic reconstructions disprove the administration's account of events (NYT, WaPo, Bellingcat): bsky.app/profile/elio... Local investigators being denied access to evidence (AP): apnews.com/live/minneap... Demonstrators met with violence (CNN): bsky.app/profile/atru...

A thing I sometimes think about is that these folks got madder at Joe Biden for air dropping aid into Gaza or setting up a JLOTS to do the same than they did at Donald Trump for setting up a fake aid org that existed solely to lure Palestinian into a killbox to be murdered by Blackwater mercenaries.

I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis). www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

This is what I mean when I say this. This sounds insane to anyone not already swimming in this stuff, and it’s both analytically and practically dumb to call some suburban grandma who is currently hopping mad about federal immigration enforcement a Nazi she lacks a crippling social media addiction

Thousands of protesters and community members with candles gathered in Minneapolis at the site where 37 y/o Renee Nicole Good was killed by ICE. Thousands are chanting “F ICE,” calling for justice and accountability as protests continue to grow.

People are already in the streets after an ICE agent shot a woman in her vehicle in Minneapolis today. Here are some @wired.com tips for protecting yourself from your government. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

“Libertarian” can’t deflect fast enough from the fact the state just murdered a citizen.

The wingers on (oy) "X" are all in on it being a righteous shooting, and are blaming Walz and Frey for it. Their "rhetoric" did it, you see. We are overrun by monsters. And the worst monsters of all are the ones who purport not to be on their side while taking them seriously and normalizing them.

The real issue in the discourse around Dem messaging is that a lot of posters fundamentally feel that political communications strategies are illegitimate and anything other than primal screams directed directly at their own fears and concerns are bullshit.

they're racist and xenophobic and are targeting basically everyone who isn't white, but being white won't save you either

IMO there is social value in distributing videos of state agents acting maliciously, even (and perhaps even especially) in the case of murder. That information needs to be disseminated and our current government - along with several media outlets - can't be trusted

COME ON www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Could have had Malcom Kenyatta, or Conor Lamb, but they didn’t wear basketball shorts to pressers.

The Magawaffen killed somebody. Again.

somebody pointed out on here the unfortunate tendency that if you spend all day listening to (to critique) right-wing talking points, you begin to absorb some right-wing talking points

UPDATE: It appears that the thought experiment detonated in place.

Dude was fired for……accurately referencing something Charlie Kirk said.

“Hey Doc, can you give me a quick rundown of what took you 12+ years to learn so I know if I’m getting a good deal?”

“Aldrich Ames, traitorous fuck , dies at age 84”

journalism is cooked at CBS. i’d be packed up tonight. even if you could do your job, you’d still be propping up whatever this is. just walk out. you can leave. if it sucks, hit da bricks. real winners quit.

There are 22.3 guns for every 100 people in Greenland. Not enough to stop an invasion, there’s only 52k people on the island, but a guerrilla war? Based out of the arctic circle?

If Putin’s main goal was destabilization of the post WWII world order, I’d say congratulations, white American voters. You did it.

Over on FB a guy I know posted about how he got a cancer screening, and encouraged his friends to get checked. His replies are filled with locked profiles pushing online herbal supplements. Great website ya’ll are running there.

Listen, folks, I know this looks real bad, but the important thing is that Palestine was freed and the Democrats were sent a mess- *touches earpiece* why are you yelling

i don't think it helps that you have people like Rentoul who will basically aggro Bluesky for no apparent reason, either, thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of a mean social media platform
