this country is extremely large and while this makes it hard for the kind of overwhelming protests we see in other countries to work (where one of the only the major cities is the capital, etc) it also makes repression on a large scale hard they need a lot of guys! they don’t have enough guys!

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.

I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.

The fact that JD Vance is the face of the administration’s attempts to smear Renee Good is noteworthy, because they always trot him out to defend whatever they know is indefensible. Both because he’ll say literally anything and because even they hold him in contempt.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Vance is genuinely deranged, these people are broken inside and our greatest advantage is they don't understand they are the freaks.

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

Queen shit

Hennepin DA asks for submissions of videos and photos of the killing to her office so that they can develop independent body of evidence and ensure it's collected and preserved independent of feds. Reading between the lines, they're moving forward with an independent investigation but nervous.

removal from app store + google play probably fatally wounds the entire global right wing movement and significantly hinders musk’s own ability to get involved with elections both here and abroad

ICE are the Stasi of the Trump admin and they should be named and shamed forever. We need to figure out creative ways to unmask and identify them because we are still at a point where social and material consequences matter

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

I just can’t get over how their immediate response was to smear the victim. No pause for investigation, just dive right into inflaming the situation. I can only assume they’ve been baiting for real violence against ICE and when it didn’t come they just made it up. They want the conflict.

I think it's pretty clear that they want to provoke confrontation, and they want ICE agents to feel tense, frightened, and threatened—antagonistic to the public, grateful and loyal to the administration that "protects" them. They want excuses for violence, and a militia eager to deploy it.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Dropping these people into an active volcano is the moderate position.

I don't think you can truly grapple with where we are, and how we come back from it, without recognizing this is not a constitutionally legitimate government and he is not the lawful president of the United States.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: you don't have to force yourself to watch, even if the video isn't explicit you don't have to see someone die out of a sense of moral obligation we, as a society, must respond to what happened but traumatizing yourself is not praxis

ICE just murdered one of your constituents Amy, is that worthy of a tweet?

Message discipline is good. Health care costs are important, but stop treating Trump's threat to invade Denmark as an eccentric peccadillo. It would be a world historical disaster that increases our chances of dying in nuclear war.

Kind of wonder if there’s people out there who only ever got their news from CBS Evening News wondering what happened.

You don't hate Republicans enough. They are so much worse than a basket of deplorables but what makes it even more frustrating is the amount of tears they'll shed if you call a spade a spade.

WELP

the lesson here is clear; don't leak this shit to the NYT and Wapo. leak it to Marisa Kabas. Then the NYT will rush to publish without crediting her.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

placing a little 💣 sticker on today’s page in my new 2026 planner and hand lettering “we illegally overthrew the Venezuelan government 😮🤬” in flowery script

The reason you go scorched-earth on this is the same reason we should have gone scorched-earth on impoundment; you can't stop it from happening, but you absolutely need to stop it from becoming a normal part of politics. You have to draw a line.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

this is basically what makes me concerned about a Yoon moment after the 2026 midterms with a D victory. when the lines haven't been drawn for other things, what sort of muscle exists to prevent an executive self-coup?

What the ever loving fuck did I just wake up to

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

The split-screen here is unbelievable - first from yesterday, the others from 2017. Musk’s Twitter has truly driven us mad. People absorb far more of their beliefs from their social environment than they realize, and we’ve created an environment where being a gutter bigot is the baseline expectation

I need the most late-Romanov vibes you have. Oh no, that's too late-Romanov.

Until Kari Lake seized control of USAGM and collaborated with Elon Musk's DOGE to dismantle the Voice of America, the VOA Persian Service had a 24/7 satellite TV channel, multimedia website and five social media platforms reaching ~16% of Iranian adults.

As someone who has read The Stand too many times I would like us to stop calling it the super flu 😭😭😭

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

it’s pretty telling that for all the various Republican assaults on government few have been as thorough as their holy war on the CFPB, which has been a scorched earth affair since day 1 bring it back with a vengeance and staff a personalized new department for every big Republican donor

This Nazi passed a bill to imprison trans kids' parents two weeks ago.

Famously Sauron is known for never allowing his home to he penetrated by intruders.

Again,

Once you're *really* good at fleecing the federal government, you realize you can do it more effectively from a seat in the U.S. Senate.

deadass?

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

This is giving malicious compliance (and likely on the part of just a subset of the agents who were pulled into redaction work, or this would’ve been discovered within hours of the site going live)

People, I'm BEGGING you: If you are going to share that leaked 60 minutes segment, INCLUDE SOME COMMENTARY in your post that makes it necessary for readers to have access to the full video to understand the commentary. CBS has a deep black eye over this and the odds that they'll look to punish ppl
