'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

We can’t body cam our way out of this. We have to change everything.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

ICE is law enforcement Border Patrol is law enforcement The cops are not coming to the rescue The cops are the problem

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

“Outside agitators” is older than Putin; I am begging white people to crack open a history book about Black Americans for once

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Mood in minneapolis right now

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

ICE exist to do the federal leader’s dirty work. Local pol-ICE exist to carry out local leaders’ dirty work. They perform the same functions but operate under different “jurisdictions.” Everything that you see ICE doing is also done by local pol-ICE.

Also thinking the problem with Trump is how bad he makes America look is white people problems. The problem with him is his actual harm oppressing folks.

its like they dont understand you can slam trump for high grocery costs AND shooting moms in the face

I think “a masked paramilitary squad is being sent in to US cities to kidnap people and send them to concentration camps” is the kind of thing that helps elect people everywhere in America

PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

"In fact, I think that the Nazis should have been trained better!" - Some of your favorite Democrats

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training." They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis! You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

NATO is bad and all, but I never thought it would end because a narcissistic moron doesn't understand Mercator projection

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

I will continue to beat my drum about how all of white folks efforts against fascism in this country are in vain until they are interested in dismantling whiteness. Even as these fools pat themselves on the back at how great their fight’s going while they never think of how they oppress us.

“ICE needs more training” is an echo of the weak circa 2003 democratic stance that “we need more body armor in Iraq.” It’s a wish washy poll tested bit of pablum meant to appeal to some mythical middle. Like ending the Iraq War the only real position is to abolish ICE.

The US and Germany looking at Iran like “only we get to do our citizens like that, tf is wrong with you”

Charlie Kirk got bumped off in an intrafactional gang war and these violent maniacs wanted to blame everybody else besides the guy who actually popped him

🤷🏿‍♂️Um... It already is a daily occurrence? There were only 6 days in 2025 that US cops *didn't* shoot a person to death. These shootings mostly happen at traffic stops. Again, some things that happen to Black people every single day, only become seen as horrific when they happen to non-Black people

we have an expanding secret police force kidnapping people a genAI app says are brown enough and putting them in concentration camps here and abroad and now killing people in the street and zero Dems are on record saying we should abolish this police force

Gotta say to the reply guys that y’all have been telling me “your analysis is a stretch“ about presidential politics since 2016 and perhaps at this point you can see why I think you should shut the fuck up and let Black women make some educated guesses in public

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The good news for Trump is that Democrats friggin love imperial warfare, they live for this shit. And what a boon for cable news. America is back, baby

I TOLD YOU BRO. I FUCKIN WARNED YOU DAWG

It's outrageous that Trump started US imperialism, Obama would never

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

Hey I think Joe Rogan would be an amazing boxer can y'all let him know

It's like people need to be told that everything's gonna be sunny & alright with the empire because that's what they need to believe to hang on & they shame you as a doomer for noticing it's crumbling. Shit is bad & on a logical trajectory to get worse. You can buck up to survive it, though.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Everyone who participated in the firings, prosecutions, blackballings & penalization of the people who found it ironic that the 'Sin of Empathy' and 'Gun Violence Is The Cost Of Freedom' guy got shot in the neck (including moderation here). You guys are fucking clowns.

all i'm saying is that there were better options

Wild that "double tap" was a term coined during Obama's drone war but we might not be ready for that conversation

Poncho Sanchez Bob Dylan Gil Shaham Santana The Neville Brothers

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

And remember. The tech that is producing that Grok tweet is propping up maybe 1/3rd of the stock market. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

ICE is basically the comments section with weapons.

The amount of hopium around this is all too familiar Let's get serious, there's very high odds we never see the worst of it and Trump survives it

I would love people who oppose all violent resistance to fascism to explain how they intend to survive fascist violence? Do they simply think the fash won't come for them or...?

"renting a house from the bank isn't so bad, why not just make it for a lifetime with no equity and morning to pass on to your heirs" great take NPR

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.
