Professor Peterson response to censorship at Texas A&M. (philosopher) king

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it. Treat any Trump official accordingly.

Impeach Noem. Every Dem Representative should be saying this. Get this off the ground now while it’s hot. Raise its public salience. Then squeeze.

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.

I hadn't noticed this but the victim is clearly trying to wave ICE through, and then they jumped her.

Another popular MAGA snuff video . . . Thanks @badiucao.bsky.social.

"So Trump, Vance, and their hirelings stand behind all the masked, unidentified and untrained ICE officers, no matter what any of them might do, no matter how unjustified or indefensible any of their acts. I’m just one citizen. But I stand with Renee Nicole Good." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Experts don’t disagree about vaccines. Yes, every now and then a bad egg is produced. But if you’re a scientist you know how hard it is to gain consensus on ANYTHING, and vaccines are one area where we have, overwhelmingly. Unfortunately the US has hatched the bad eggs and then crowned them.

#Venezuela was a distraction. #Epstein

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left www.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Five years ago.

This is what Captain and Senator Mark Kelly posted on Facebook. Please read every word.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth. This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

"The hero's journey always begins with the call. One way or another, a guide must come to say, "look, you're in sleepy land. Wake. Come on a trip. There is a whole aspect of your consciousness, your being, that's not been touched." Joseph Campbell

Mayor Naomi Soto outlined legal protections during ICE, announced police assistance for property retrieval, and directed affected families to community organizations for support. thepalmspringspost.com/palm-springs...

Denying medical assistance is unacceptable in any circumstances. Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organizations from providing services in #Gaza and the #WestBank, #Palestine. https://ow.ly/XQwE50XR5OE

Jack Smith in just-released House Committee interview … about Trump: “The attack that happened at the Capitol … does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit” youtu.be/1NOVLkzycPI?...

Can’t have humanitarian aid groups that tell the truth, deliver aid, save lives, and don’t randomly massacre people trying to access aid.

Just a few examples of FBI/DOJ documents that haven't been released: The 2019 prosectors' memos on co-conspirators they considered charging. The 2007 60-count draft indictment of Epstein. A raft of victim statements detailing abuse from powerful men. And much more None has been released.

Bring honor back to your house, Mr. President

1. BREAKING Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

📌"Missing are FBI interviews with survivors and internal DOJ memos examining charging decisions — records that could have helped explain how investigators viewed the case and why Epstein was allowed in 2008 to plead guilty to a relatively minor prostitution charge." Impeach Pam Bondi RIGHT NOW.

🤌

The dictator's disgusting name change for the Kennedy Center can't be done without congressional approval. But as usual, Trump doesn't care about the law and simply changes the facts on the ground. He must be stopped. He's ruining our country.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

In my furious revulsion at what Trump said about Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, I missed that it was Michele who took the flattering cover photo of Trump for his book, The Art of the Deal. Impossibly, this makes his reaction even worse.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

MERCENARIES: A Video and Poster Campaign to Counter ICE Recruitment "They are not protecting our communities—they are trying to destroy them. They aim to wear down our ability to identify w/ each other, our ability to feel compassion.
If they succeed, all of us will be in danger." @crimethinc.com ✊🏼

Yep

You know who actually look like badasses? Coast Guard interdicting a submersible suspected of carrying drugs.

Well… yeah. Most of us talked about that at the time. Hegseth revealed time on target and a whole bunch of other information that could have gotten troops killed.

Well, an independent investigation now confirms it: Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots during Signalgate. Our servicemembers deserve leaders who never put them at unnecessary risk. If Hegseth had a shred of decency, he’d resign.

This is all true but 1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law 2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.

A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney. https://cnn.it/4oqqiJU
