[butterfly meme] is this deescalation? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

That’s my country, that’s right 🦅🦅🇺🇸💪

The whole fucking point is to accept personal risk as yourself and dare the state to do anything about it. You are there to be seen, known, and heard. Not to cosplay as an antifa super soldier.

30 minute epilogue let’s gooooo 🔥🔥🔥

I don’t think this is a particularly hot take. As we keep telling a particular federal agency, wearing a mask generally indicates cognizance of guilt and an intent to do something illegal. Protest works best when done confidently and unashamedly

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

ICE agents would be disqualified from working in California law enforcement and inside the public school system under a new bill introduced in the Legislature this week.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.

If not Gestapo why Gestapo? Not even Gestapo shaped, just fully and clearly Gestapo

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

If my own current rate of opinion change is anything to go by, it’ll become the broadly conservative position by summer

ICE are paid agitators

They’ll start pushing for disarmament of residents soon unless you can prove your loyalty. Second amendment for me, not for thee

One of the couple of platforms I wrote down if I were to run for city council was, “anybody who was a member of ICE after February 20, 2025 should be ineligible for hire by the local PD.” One month to decide you’re still on the wrong side. Those left don’t have the moral standards I want in a LEO.

it is true that some Americans waved the flag as they committed unspeakable acts of evil but other Americans waved that same flag marching into battle against their own former slaveowners you get to decide who has the legitimate claim

This is insane because 1. The Hybrid was the LPA - they already know what their *own* process said the community wanted. 2. I know for a fact they got somewhere on the order of 10,000 written public comments from South Bay Forward's campaign in recent days. And they still listened to the NIMBYs

Cool meanwhile in Los Angeles our transit agency has come out against housing and our shitty fucking metro board is caving to NIMBYs on extending the Green/C/K line south. This fucking place man

Note: If you find it, you do NOT want to push the "prices go down" button

Absolutely incredible case of being confidently wrong on the internet. No notes!

I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!

things are bad! (gift link)

Mamdani : "abolish ICE" *crowd of old wine moms goes bananas cheering, hooting, hollering* Schumer : "erm excuse me we need to stay on top of kitchen table topics like more itemized deductions on new pergola construction at The Bailey's summer home"

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

Why tf would anybody be heavily weighted in US equities for the next 3 years? #$XMAG at most & Europe/China funds are the only logical conclusion at this stage

im getting disturbing reports that donald trump is doing exactly what he said he would and the results are exactly as disastrous as everyone said they would be

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Me, a fucking idiot: I wish more people care about civil military relations

How it started/how it's going

Michael Lewis’s latest “Who Is Government?” really solidified the fact in my view that of all the Number One things, reminding people what government actually does is a big Number One thing dems need to do

If the basic project is expanding and straightening the American empire, everything this administration has done - destroy soft power, wreck alliances, abandon shared ideals, withdraw for the intl institutions America built, and general erratic behavior - will have the opposite effect.

Transportation equity is not a new idea. In 1920 the El Paso Electric Company operated 103 streetcars on 64 miles of track, carrying 19 million passengers a year in a city of 78,000 people.

I’ve been waiting for a video telling one of these guys their grandkids are going to be embarrassed by them

Trump’s never committed to anything, why start now? Everything this guy says is “uhh, maybe I’ll do it, I might not! But I could. But I probably won’t. But we’re looking at it!” A decade of this. I don’t know how men hear it and think he’s a paragon of masculinity. Certainly not my definition.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Comments showing one of the biggest long-term damages done by Trump & the Republican Party more generally over the last 25 years is making almost half the country completely distrust the military, which like it or not is(/was) required for a stable US-led hegemon

By what authority, the man just put it in a truth social post and hit send

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

In Minneapolis

Look I know that “diversity is our strength” is cringe but: diversity is our strength. People who come from distinct cultural practices actively serving in community with one another. What a blessing to live in a world where that happens.

This is where it would be useful if the political media would take notice of the fact that DHS literally keeps using neo-Nazi slogans, language, memes, and imagery in its official social media.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

Superb thread actually

This is what electing "the party of small government and freedom" looks like.

These protesters are absolute saints, self-restraint levels not seen outside of some monasteries. I’m ready to throw punches after 30 seconds of watching this

Finally, some good fucking news

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.
