the fact that I can actually do that hurts me. the fact that this is proving that point hurts me.

Mate, embarrassing isn't half of it. If Americans do not stop what the US is doing at home & threatening European democracies with abroad, then all Americans will be labelled responsible just like all Germans were in the 1930s and 40s.

FURRIES RISE UP

Bovino isn’t cosplaying Hitler. He’s cosplaying Himmler. An American left that can’t tell the difference had no business talking about fascism. by Curtis Yarvin

Imagine if ICE stopped the same teenager 2 or 3 times, just because he was the wrong color. What if they stopped him more than 2 or 3 times? What if they stopped him 5 times? Imagine if they stopped him 10 times. Or 15 times. Or 150 times. Lots of innocent Black men have been stopped 150+ times.

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

sheriff: hold up, why is this one's picture so cute on the wanted poster deputy: oh, he didn't like the one that was up there so he came into the station and we took a new one sheriff: HE WAS HERE AND YOU DIDN'T ARREST HIM??? deputy: ah...eto... sheriff: HOW DID YOU GIVE HIM A FILTER, IT'S 1839

The general theme of this commentary is "stop asking MN companies to ban ICE from their properties." The argument is that enforcing the ban would fall to individual low-paid employees, who would be placed in danger. tcbmag.com/should-busin...

Trump’s USA is getting left behind again.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

to despair and embrace cynicism was to hand powerful weapons to the enemy

Labor calls a general strike in Minnesota to protest the ICE invasion of the state.

in random news… @evystadium.bsky.social has more. full story by @mjgault.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/theres-a-loo...

To those who claim: "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism": Have you considered cannibalism?

What I’ve learned about American politics the last decade is there is an annoyingly sizable population that does not actually believe in anything and simply imprints on the latest thing they heard on the radio like a duckling

ICE is randomly killing American citizens and I have been unable to find a job for the last year. But the wine mom next door is always hassling me about composting. I have never felt more politically homeless.

NEW: I spoke with this bishop, who offered more context for his (entirely unprepared!) remarks. Turns out other bishops (e.g., in MN) agree with him, and he recalled the moment he told local priests to get their wills in order. “There was a little gasp,” he said. religionnews.com/2026/01/15/t...

only pedophiles invest in #$TSLA

Russia may be able to control Shahed drones via Starlink within days, potentially making them resistant to electronic warfare jamming and significantly more accurate. Ukrainian expert Serhii “Flash” reports the first confirmed use of Starlink control on a BM-35 drone today.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

Another common thread between Chicago and Minneapolis enduring these occupations:

This is State Rep RJ May (R-SC). He's a MAGA politician who ran on the platform of 'protecting children from democrats & trans people.' He was awarded "Legislator of the Year" by MAGA org "Moms for Liberty" ... Today he was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison for distributing child pornography.

Chicago cops steal not just phones from people. They steal money too. They do this REGULARLY. It has been documented over and over again.

I’m honestly surprised Denmark hasn’t officially invoked Article 4 against the United States yet.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Govt of Canada Communication: THEN vs NOW

Pulled it out as an image in case people want to let it fly free

Big "lick me all over" energy here. Beef fat is delicious.

It's so real. I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me. I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild. People are DONE.

Keep up the attacks on @jcsalterego.bsky.social! He’s giving into the pressure! The tyranny of jerryskeets is almost to an end!

Flock left at least 60 of its people-tracking cameras live streaming and exposed to the open internet. The exposure was initially discovered by YouTuber and technologist @bennjordan.bsky.social. We talk about it. Listen now: youtu.be/tSd0nXolnIs?...

First, if you haven’t looked yet, what major publication is running the “ICE is so unpopular its own agents lie abt their jobs” national-news political story? NYT? WaPo? Ha! No. Second, for YEARS they know they’re hated. And that hatred grows. They’re scared. Thus the bluster.

Is it just me, or could AT Protocol be useful for things like getting LXMF destinations, sharing public keys, or even as an alternative to linktree, for all sorts of things?

The national media, the ADL, corporate leaders, etc. are not revisiting their decisions about Musk now afaict. Musk is just allowed to be a very public Nazi accelerationist as well as a CSAM publisher without any mainstream scrutiny.

Everyone wants a revolution. No one is willing to be mildly inconvenienced to get one.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were army officers under the Qin dynasty. Ordered to march their soldiers to the defense of a frontier city, they were delayed by rain. The penalty for being late under Qin law was death. As the penalty for rebellion was also death, they decided to take their chances.

Oh hey, @bennjordan.bsky.social made a really cool video for the fun times ahead, for the future anarchists in your life.

If you guys think the economy is in a bubble now, wait until you see what happens when the central bank is directly controlled by online reactionary shit posters.

YOU, AN ACTUALLY SERIOUS PERSON: This is an unprecedented government crisis ME, SEEING THE CHECKMARK: Bluesky's got the juice!

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance. Here’s how hackers are shining a light on it—and why that matters. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Whoa‼️ This article from 2014: US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them. And remember, Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer, a veteran, and spent over a decade working for DHS.

Filing a report about Twitter on the App Store actually works, everybody do it

Slightly diminish a band: Violet Femmes

that time of year again!

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

The new ad campaign for X is nothing if not honest...

Another thing about the Boston Massacre is John Adams' famous defense was less about right to counsel, which wasn't in question, and more demonstrating British troops could and should face fair trials w/ local courts and juries. Thus the Declaration's grievance about when they stopped allowing that.
