Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I legitimately didn't see that this is dated TODAY; I assumed it was like a year ago. Please stop talking about Gavin Newsom as if he's a legitimate candidate for President in 2028.

so maybe a little sulfur-y? perhaps...like Brimstone?

The horrors persist. And people are gonna make dance music about it youtu.be/wm6VaIPyc8U?...

On top of everything stupid about this, mofo wants to start a war in THE ARCTIC in JANUARY?

I've been wondering why the Department of Labor of all departments was wading into the topics they were in their social posts.

I monitored Nazi terror Telegram channels from 2019 to 2022 or so and it's hard to overstate the degree to which DHS's X account mimics the tone, aesthetic, voice, and language of those cess pits. Whoever is running socials for them has obviously spent a lot of time in that space.

Giving MechaHitler access to classified military networks is literally insane.

I've gotta say, harmonizing the idea that executing protesters in Minneapolis is cool with the idea that executing protesters in Iran is evil is one hell of a heavy rationalization lift, even for the MAGA crowd.

Every now and then I catch a look at myself in the mirror in my office and I’m like “yes I am an award winning, internationally recognized legal technology expert…”

So like half of the World Cup teams can’t compete here because this administration froze visas for their countries…

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

"ICE agents should just have badges and nameplates" "Or, hear me out, how about a QR code that you have to have a phone for, and have to get up close to scan, and the officer has to hold still, and no one can ID them from even a short distance, and maybe it has malware in the code too?"

This is an example of sousveillance, when ordinary people turn the powers of surveillance back onto the powerful

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

In a recent symposium on M&A, I heard something really striking: firms contemplating deals have created go-teams of lawyers in the event that Trump becomes interested. They’re ready to negotiate directly with the White House. My brain kept picking over exactly what was wrong with this.

Since a few people have asked, it's quite easy these days to extract text from any image. There are many tools that will help, but here's how I do it.

Justices should not own individual stocks. If mutual funds, other blended funds & bonds are good enough for 7 of 9 justices, then Alito (28 cos.) and Roberts (2 cos.) should join their colleagues & sell their shares insideclimatenews.org/news/1301202... @mlavelle.bsky.social.

just had thought about covering Greenland with legos as defensive measure against invasion and sort of went into hysterical laughter we live in the dumbest timeline

Libraries and museums are not neutral.

So do we think they know how to dress for the weather?

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

The interviewer gives Trump as an easy out to say acquiring Greenland is in the interest of the US and he's like "No, no, this is about my psychological need to own it."

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
