I simply do not think it behooves us to think "bad thing cannot happen" despite years of lived experience and thousands of years of recorded history showing otherwise. Bad thing can happen! Often because some people WANT bad thing to happen and good people don't recognize it and stop it.

Hey. Heard you were talking shit. Well that's very mean, stop it or I'll cry

RIP Tom Clancy, you would've loved this shit

This is simply anti-human technology.

“They’re starting to resist more. We’re gonna end up shooting some of them.” — leaked ICE footage

if you don't know there's, like, A LOT of furries in cyber security and NatSec and Intelligence and all sorts of places you absolutely would not expect furries to be

Here's how to politely ask in Mandarin if you can have another humanitarian ration 請，先生，可以吃更多飯飯嗎

this fits neatly within my view that every household should have a Stinger MANPADS system for home defense and every neighborhood should have a NASAMS system for community safety purposes.

Well that simpering statement from Tim Walz last night really worked well www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

What's up YouTube, today we're dismantling every "national security" initiative from 9/11 onward.

If you're still on X you simply need help.

If Shapiro raised his voice to me I would calmly pick him up and put him on a coat hanger

Microsoft is out here quadrupling down on AI while Windows becomes a bug-riddled useless mess where I need to spend like 1-2 hours daily finding workarounds when their jank-ass vibe-coded apps stop working. It's intolerable.

Whiskey Fridays are for We The People. We will not be denied.

Counterpoint: X has never worked better

happy whiskey friday with tony dokoupil

Society simply sucks to raise a kid in, unless you are wealthy or live next to family who help (and then it is merely unpleasant). Everything surrounding kids is wildly expensive, they're not allowed to do anything on their own anymore, most schools have become a resemblance of child prisons, etc

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Idk how else to explain this but: Ben Carson is Herman Cain, but Herman Cain isn't Ben Carson

Really, the baseline here is reminding people that they have rights and agency and that they can collectively resist. That validation of grassroots activity from political leaders helps people continue to be brave in the face of oppression.

Would like to see governors and state legislatures get state defense forces doing this, too. Puts less onus on civilians and ICE chuds are less likely to get violent with people in uniform.

Ah. Nevertheless,

kinda funny how House politicians are reducing themselves to Tech Sales roles. Buddy, these companies already have a small army of people to do that and the benefits aren't as good as Congressional benefits

State defense forces recruited from state employees could get numbers to match these deployments very quickly. You’d have trained, paid, uniformed staff observing and swarming ICE instead of exclusively relying on volunteer civilians.

Look, at a certain point if the state won't take action for its citizens, it needs to empower the citizens to act on behalf of the state. It seems like crank sh!t, but State Defense Forces are real. 20 states have them. They just need to be reimagined, expanded, and democratized.

It seems like crank sh!t, but about 20 states currently have active State Defense Forces. They're just small and barely funded. Call your governor and reps. Demand that they revive your State Defense Force and reimagine it as a force for civic engagement and community protection.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

@governorwalz.mn.gov could reactivate the Minnesota State Defense Force and actually provide the security that the police and sheriffs refuse to provide, AND YET

the glowing stove coils look so inviting and comfortable. What if I just ... no. unless ...

who up slouching they ass toward Bethlehem?

I am crying

here is a video i just wanted to share with my FBI agent

👏 reactivate 👏 the 👏 Minnesota 👏 State 👏 Defense 👏 Force

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

Surrender the murderer to the people.

What I've observed about UX: the original sin of UX is that it is FUNDAMENTALLY about saving The People In Charge from themselves. This requires telling them that they are wrong. The People In Charge often* HATE being told they're wrong. *If they lack wisdom and self control, which they often do

Seeing some articles going around that Mamdani's "collectivist" agenda for NYC goes against American values. Guys, some of the earliest states are "Commonwealths", the US Constitution says its purpose is general welfare, the earliest communities had churches as collectivist community buildings, etc.

"stop putting surveillance everywhere" proves yet again to be the winning position. If you want to prevent traffic fatalities in cities and towns, the first second and third best way to do it is to physically prevent reckless driving with good infrastructure.

Ok there's a lot of pressure so maybe I'll make 2027 my year

This is slavery.

I kind of worry that the American military is somehow negatively polarizing itself into learning the WRONG lessons from Ukraine in a "not invented here" sort of way. WE didn't learn the lessons, so the lessons must be wrong.

We're in a golden age of scams and unless something changes, history suggests this leads to people Burning It All Down
