We’re at the “good tzar, bad boyars” point of regime dysfunction.

remember when Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story to "wait on more reporting" but then uncritically published random unnamed administration officials claiming Jonathan Ross had "internal bleeding" with zero corroboration

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

This is the stupid shit that needs to stop. Seriously. No. Wrong. This LIE that "my vote must be earned" is the most over-privileged BULLSHIT ever invented. Voting is your civic duty. You owe your vote to not just yourself but to every vulnerable person and citizen. Withholding your vote is STUPID

once again: the civil rights movement is worth studying not just because they were right, but because they won www.liberalcurrents.com/how-to-win-a...

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

Will Stancil is chasing ICE through the city in a 15 year old Honda Fit and you’re posting.

Rich cultural text that Will Stancil is in the streets of Minneapolis fighting ICE while the ten thousand losers who want him to dead are petrified of No Kings events because they might see a mom with a cell phone. Just a perfect distillation of every discourse.

better child care benefits _are_ correlated with higher fertility rates in EU nations. it's just that they still don't seem to bring them up to replacement rate

am I irrationally annoyed when people use "Sephirothposting" when it is incorrect? yes! Sephirothposting is dramatic and apocalyptic but self-aggrandizing. Seiferposting is poor-me whining. Kujaposting is like Sephirothposting but there's actually a real thing to be mad about.

These are absolutely monstrous people "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

They fucking did this shit after W and Trump 1, how did it fucking go, I forget

the Minnesota Minuteman has a nice ring to it

THE MINNUTEMEN

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves. Once again, no. The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

The way to scare libertarians about the ICE shooting is to ask them to imagine: what if that was you dropping off your girlfriend at her elementary school?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

*holding my cellphone up to someone’s face and shooting them in the head* Yeah people are gonna love this. I’m gonna be so exonerated.

I'm going to be real with you JD Vance, I don't think a video where the secret police murder someone and call them a bitch makes them look good

Can't pardon state crimes, so that just creates a DOJ task force whose job is to comb ICE and CBP records and forward the incriminating information to state authorities.

Just gonna say yeah I think it's antisemitic to protest outside of a synagogue and chant "we support Hamas here," like that is in fact a threat of murderous violence.

No one who watched that video came away thinking ICE was trying to restore law and order in Minneapolis. The takeaway was that ICE was *perverting* law and order.

elites have got no idea just how apocalyptically angry ordinary people are about this shit

Yglesias attempting to troll Good's death and getting no engagement really shows that the ex-Vox pundit sphere is completely toast. They can't get anyone to even get mad at them anymore.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

They are going to Epstein Files a murder

What the Good murder has galvanized is that the decent citizens of America are done playing games. And we will demand Dem leaders stop as well. It is our moment in history and we will seize it or history judge us accordingly.

It's also clear that the way we will live together as a nation is to beat the Right into submission by any means necessary.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Credit to Jeffries where due, he got his vote on ACA subsidies

Specifically, watch for people to point to some of the very posts on this platform, and to public statements calling the ICE agent a murderer, to claim they are incitement or stochastic terrorism and outside First Amendment protection and advocate prosecution

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

The killing of an unarmed woman by a masked federal agent in Minneapolis is a moral outrage and a betrayal of American values. There has been no justification offered—only deception and deflection from those in charge.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

The person shot in Minneapolis was driving a Honda SUV covered in bumper stickers. She wasn't a fucking domestic terrorist. She was a resident concerned about her neighbors being kidnapped.

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Calls to "wait for the facts" is a cipher for something else in a world where three videos of the incident in question were immediately, widely available.

Insane thing to say. There’s fucking video. We can see the shooting occur.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Walz directly challenging DHS is good.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.
