Just spitballing here, but maybe in the land of the free we shouldn't have a pedophilic ruling elite class, police who kidnap people off the street, and concentration camps?

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

So about those Epstein files?

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Oh, Ann Arbor... *sigh* How do I explain Ann Arbor? Y'know, I don't think I can. IYKYK Just know that they're trying. Probably even genuinely. And like good parents, keep in your chuckles & eyerolls until they're not looking.

Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.

finally a good dating app

BREAKING: Chief Judge Schiltz sets a contempt hearing for Friday in one of the hundreds of habeas cases in Minnesota pending as a result of Operation Metro Surge, ordering acting ICE Director Todd Lyons personally to appear in court and face contempt. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

furries say fuck ICE 🐐: @grapeschitz.com 🐕: @doubledogx2.bsky.social 🐆: @snepstuffs.bsky.social

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Can’t believe I used to live outside in this stuff

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Everyone has a part to play. Even—especially—the person who moderates the subreddit for videos of people patting their cat on the butt really rapidly.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Fuck ICE.

I am not endorsing this outcome, I am simply noting the fact that, throughout American history, the archetypical community self-help response to out-of-control thugs executing unarmed people in the streets has not involved very much formal legal process

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

the normal thing that the state authorities can do if they do not want civilians deciding to try to retaliate us to charge those who commit murder, even if they are feds, and force the federal government to defend withholding them in court, which they will likely lose

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

- cancel all EOs - fire political appointees - strip clearances - appoint special prosecutor for DHS - hire a zillion IGs - investigate and prosecute crimes - investigate and refer policy violations for disciplinary action - recode ICE and CBP jobs out of 1811 series - revert name changes

Good thread on AI in education.

I informed my workplace that I will not be at work tomorrow in solidarity with the Minneapolis General Strike.

The Senate is on recess this whole week. The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right. That they are not is a choice.

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Worth reading as much of this thread as you have time for.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it."

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

This entire thread, up- and down-stream of this post, is a good one to give a picture of what's up with the good people of Minnesota. NEVER MISTAKE KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS. You will be firmly reminded that your behavior is unacceptable. The degree of firmness depends on your willingness to learn.

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.

one of few human obligations nearly everyone agrees on is that to avoid living in such a way that a sentence like that must be written about something you’ve done to a small child

Lots of extremely unusual helicopter activity in Southern Michigan. ICE abducted someone from my town of Troy just a couple days ago. Who knows what those fuckers are up to, but get your whistles and watch out for each other.

Ops is not easier or lesser than writing code to build products and features. What's darkly ironic is, if anything, the opposite is true. Nearly all the hardest technical challenges are found in infra. A key function of ops is to absorb hard problems and make it easy to write and ship features.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately. The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

speed running a civil war and WWII the same time is so absurd that even Louis XIV wasn’t quite that filled with hubris

Read the thread.

never forget: you're dealing with the state that captured a confederate flag during the american civil war and has been saying "oh you want it back? come get it then lol" ever since

i dunno what you can say to get electeds to do anything if “they flashbanged a baby” doesn’t do it
