Trump’s America. 🇺🇸 (H/T Sidewalk School)

This how the richest man in the world, who we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville, talks about the homeless.👇🏽 @GovBillLee @mayorpaulyoung @MemphisChamber @SenBrentTaylor (Reminder: he is reportedly a regular ketamine user)

One thing that's tough for people who just join the Fediverse, like most of the folks on #theforkiverse , is that there are self-appointed experts who reply to their public posts saying that "the Fediverse" doesn't like that kind of content. This is untrue. They don't speak for all of us […]

Deputy AG Todd Blanche: “No, we are not investigating.” 🤔 The message: ICE can murder citizens with impunity in Trump’s America

Retired peace professor Barbara Wien says she was confronting a threat to her community, but the government says she’s the threat. She protested at Stephen Miller’s home. Now police are investigating […]

The #minnesota #nationalguard “are not deployed to city streets at this time, but are ready to help support public safety,” MN’s Dept of #publicsafety said in a social media post that included pictures of Guard members gathering bags of equipment alongside a row of trucks on a snowy road […]

1,500 #soldiers on standby for possible #minnesota deployment, reports say, as #state mobilizes #nationalguard The soldiers are on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence escalates in Minnesota, according to the Washington Post. It is typical for the #pentagon “to be prepared for any decision […]

The #army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case “violence” in #minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of […]

Honestly, thinking #greenland would have any interest in becoming part of the United States is like expecting #willtrent to want to go back into an abusive foster care home.

Witness video showing federal agents shooting into window of a house in Minneapolis on January 14, after 911 was informed there was a child in the house. DHS has issued its usual statement that the shootings were defensive. The video indicates not […]

Where would you rather live?

It occurred to me how important Gov Tim Walz' statement to his citizens to record ICE is. It's evidence. And for those who say "It won't matter, they're all masked" : you forget there's a bit of unmasking, de-anonymizing cash involved. In order to collect their ICE and CBP and DHS bonuses for […]

I hear it's 8 inches of snow by the end of today, more snow tomorrow. It's still relatively warm, in the mid 20s F (-3.3 C). Good temperature for snowfall. By Tuesday we're in the single digits F (about -15 C), hopefully too cold (too dry) for snow, but we'll see. We need the snow, we're not in […]

Briliant!!

Whenever you see what #ice is doing in front of cameras, you must imagine what they're doing where nobody can see them--like in the concentration camps the USA is building. It's easy to read those words and much harder to fathom what they mean; that this is happening in our day and age, in what […]

I just can't with these people. 🙄

A federal judge banned Los Angeles Police Department officers from using some so-called "#less-#lethal" launchers at protests, after finding that the department violated previous court restrictions by using such projectile weapons to disperse crowds at last summer's mass demonstrations against […]

black lives matter crowd cares about renee good “all lives matter” people justify her killing Very interesting

My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border #police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated […] [Original post on masto.ai]

This is the guy we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a gaping hole in Nashville?

Check it out. Getty Images #photographer assaulted by #ice in #Minneapolis. He throws his camera to an associate before they drag him away.

Everyone gets TRUMP BABIES and your doctor is a ROBOT!!!! What could possibly go wrong.

Then in 1952-1954 came the future of movies: anaglyph (aka red/blue) 3D:

By the 1940s, thanks to amazing technical advance, the future arrived not just for postcards but for education. The US military bought 100,000 viewers and 6 million reels to educate soldiers and sailors. 3/

There was another wave of 3D during the rise of coin-operated machinery. Here, a device from 1905. 2/

In honor of Meta's latest announcement, a thread on 175 years of 3D failure. Let's first go all the way back to 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. No less a person than Queen Victoria was impressed, kicking off a fad that quickly sold over 250,000 units. Turns […] [Original post on sfba.social]

I did not know, and I am ashamed to live under a system of racism that spans the highest offices, to sentencing, to profiling, to hiring, to media and beyond. Minorities are constantly under attack here: intentionally, unintentionally, and even inadvertently.

Got ripped off on an online purchase over the holidays for about $44.00 Sent dispute to bank/visa. Bank disputes my dispute and rejects. Just got off the phone to learn the person who reviewed my dispute lied about the answers I provided in their dispute form as cause to reject the dispute […]

The weirdest excavator I’ve ever seen! I think they’re referred to as spiders and they can lift each leg independently and widen or narrow their track whilst the cabin does a full 360. There must be a temptation for the driver to play all day. One was inaction this week, clambering down into the […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fj/114024334222739130 Think of the folks at Palantir who built this. https://www.404media.co/elite-the-palantir-app-ice-uses-to-find-neighborhoods-to-raid/

Look, I'm not saying Canada should surround and seize Washington D.C. to save us from fascism. I'm just saying that in case they *do*, I've plotted out three invasion routes they could use without being cut off from certain critical supplies.

"Of all the tools that I use to maintain my equilibrium in these dark days, none is so important as remembering the distinction between happiness, optimism and hope." An important reminder from the brilliant @pluralistic: https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/15/how-the-light-gets-in/#theories-of-change

We're not mocking Jonathan Ross because he suffered internal injuries; we're mocking him because he DID NOT suffer injury and the government and Fox News is lying about it. #abolishice #reneenicolegood #ice #jonathanross #dhs #Minneapolis #JDVance #kristinoem #norepublicanseveragain #USpol

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

“President Trump has no roots on our island,” a Greenlandic spokesman said. “Epstein’s island, on the other hand, must stir many happy memories for him.” - Andy Borowitz

Chuck Schumer again says that in 2026 Senate Dems will be focused on “affordability.” He is a disgrace as Senate minority leader. The Trump executive branch is occupying a U.S. city, rounding up people on the basis of their skin color, shooting at and killing citizens for peacefully protesting […]

Gov. Braun cuts funding to Martin University in 2025, citing his desire to rid the state of DEI. Now, the university, Indiana's only predominantly black university, is closing. https://youtu.be/fNPpROaQ8Qk #indiana #uspol #education
