The same day Alex Pretti was murdered, Apple CEO Tim Cook, pictured here smiling with notorious sex pest and accused rapist Brett Ratner, enjoyed a gala screening of BRIBE: The Movie at the White House. Think Different, kids.

How bad have things gotten in one year? People are now dying in "the camps" - with deaths in ICE detention at the astounding rate of 1 every 3 days, including a homicide by guards at the biggest tent city in Texas Inside America's humanitarian crisis. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/deat...

UPDATE: The US House just passed H.J.Res.140. The bill overturns the 20-year mining ban protecting the beloved Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota. It's the nation’s most visited wilderness, sustains 17,000 jobs, and generates more than $1 billion in sales every year.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published Sept. 2025)

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

It's a bummer Mendoza is going to end up a Raider. He's a very talented player. That was fun to watch.

New report from doctors shows the Iranian regime slaughtered 16,500 protesters during the communications shutdown.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death. The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post. This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide. wapo.st/4qR1T1U

For a Right-wing culture that loves nothing more than complaining when everyone gets a trophy, they're notably silent when whiny baby President mugs a woman to get her Nobel prize.

Mafia takeover of America complete. Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Gaza Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members.

Protester is 21 yrs old. ICE agent dragged him and held his head down in his own pool of blood, mocked him about losing his eye. They fired pepper pellets at the HEAD of a witness recording the incident.

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Make it viral.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

The President is literally endorsing the crazy conspiracy reasoning of a multiple murderer. An assassin. Is running Venezuela putting him over the edge? Think of how Melissa’s and Mark’s family feel when they see this. But that’s the point, the President doesn’t care.

Ugh.

The only man less competent to "run" a country than Maduro...

If I want to hear from average Americans about the news, I'll go to social media. We need journalists to seek and speak the truth to us.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Walking into 2026 like Victor Laszlo ... 🗃️ #HATM www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOli...

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

This message hits hard.

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

Metaphor

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.

Buddy every time I've heard about Jacob Wohl in the news, it's been about something astonishing illegal that he's at the center of

NEW: U.S. Military Willing to Attack “Designated Terrorist Organizations” Within America, General Says “That is one of the concerns with the administration asserting that the President essentially has a license to kill outside the law,” says expert. theintercept.com/2025/12/16/t...

For decades we have competed with UNC for talented PhD students interested in studying European politics. Sometimes they won, despite their significantly lower stipends, in part because of their great Europe center. So much for that.

How fascism works

So, this happened😱 no one is talking about it.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting. Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.

>Recites pro Hitler speech entirely from memory >does a random martial art move >refuses to elaborate >leaves Just the kinda guy we want running the panopticon

Did he just notice this? There's nothing "conservative" about half of the Trump policies The Heritage Foundation has backed.

They want to withhold federal money for a state’s infrastructure if the state has a law that protects its residents from the downsides of AI.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Disbar the lawyers.
