Actually I think I’m totally fine saying that I would not vote for Newsom. You can’t hold me hostage with a white “centrist” (read: 80’s Republican) Democrat anymore. He can go drum up some other “centrist” (ie 80’s Republican) votes to make up the difference.

Boomer Jews like to cite how many Jews were on the forefront of the American civil rights movement (& it’s true! ie Jews were co-founders of the NAACP!), but a lot of times they use this fact to elide the Black & Jewish struggles instead of as proof that our values demand we stand up for justice.

Here’s something I want to know about Pluribus (and I haven’t finished it so MAYBE they get into this but I doubt it?): What was it like for that mouse and that one scientist when it was JUST them in there? Cuz I feel like it must have been WILD lol

Mark my words he will FALL APART by Super Tuesday. He has no genuine charisma & no political courage. Someone—my money is on Pritzker—will EVISCERATE him on the debate stage à la Warren with Bloomberg & he’ll whither on the vine.

Rioters are painting TUNNELS on ROCK WALLS right in front of ICE agents in order to make agents CRUMPLE THEIR NOSES AGAINST THEM

Interesting which stories don't get held for "a few more phone calls" www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

They should eat shit instead.

Pretty striking how much braver ordinary people are than any of our elected leaders, isn’t it.

Skill issue.

The Make-A-Wish President

I would never fight with anyone over this cuz I know it’s a very personal and visceral thing, but I think hovering to use a public toilet is silly. You think your sweet little butt is so much more pristine than anyone else’s? We’re all disgusting, just sit down.

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Zdeno Chara at his number retirement ceremony: “When I was a little kid…” Fan: “WHEN?!???”

Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Nobel Peace Prize

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think lots of people actually forget that he briefly used the national guard to bolster ICE activity and has been categorically stopped from being able to continue this practice. He sows so much chaos that wins limiting his aims don’t always remain at front of mind.

Nah.

Hey you know what I don’t like? “Heartwarming” ring camera videos. I’m not “awww”ing ubiquitous surveillance, sweetie.

They are doing real harm wherever they go, but there is also a reason they have to go from city to city like this w/out ever “succeeding” at any sort of clear objective: not close to enough manpower, terrible planning, dogshit morale.

"Don't take the bait" entirely elides the fact that ICE's presence in Minneapolis or LITERALLY ANYWHERE is unjustified on its face, period, end of. ICE is unneccesary and unlawful. It is, as ever, on the fascists to stop doing fascism, not on the people targeted to comply by being shot and abused.

wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Fuckin losers.

please do not read any of the secret documents I left in my unlocked car when I ran away before. I was scared and had to run away to get a bigger gun and it’s not fair for you guys to grab those documents while I was gone. those are mine, and I need them for my big mission. please give them back

When was the last time this city—or any city—had someone out selling tourists knockoff mayoral merch?

It’s funny to act like what’s happening with Stephen Miller’s Gestapo running roughshod through US cities is an elaborate electoral trap set up to get Democrats to say Abolish ICE, which will cause Republicans to win again

I feel insane.

This is like when they switched to QR code menus during Covid instead of investing in better air filtration systems in communal spaces. I’d say “you so close!” but they are…not close at all.

Our message to the Trump administration is loud and clear: ICE out for Good.

Men will literally go undercover w/a roving band of thrill-seeking bank robbers for whom they develop a grudging respect before being exposed & nearly killed by them, hunting down their leader & letting him surrender to the power of the ocean rather than go to prison instead of going to therapy.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

This guy is a hero on par with that flight attendant who argued down a rude passenger, resigned over the intercom and went down the emergency slide.

Abolish ICE.

A really fun thing you notice when your mom dies on New Year’s Day is HOW many people ask “How was your New Year’s?!” throughout January.

ICE is carrying out unconstitutional operations so they actually have no “authority” hope this helps, Will!

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

Here’s a 1984 take for you: Something MAGA is too dumb to get—besides for the foundational fact that THEY are “The Party” not the rebellion—is that The Party understood that “War is Peace” was essential to getting the buy-in of the populous. “War is War Get On Board” isn’t the sell they think it is.

I think they really miscalculated how many Americans honk it to fascist memes online vs how many like seeing images of an ACTUAL gestapo roaming American streets.

90% is hilarious. 90% of their own KIDS aren’t happy to see them.

Bovino: "Something else here as far as what happened in that Target store is truly I felt sorry for the public, and the reason for that is by and large 90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions."

I added captions to this video of people heckling Greg Bovino leaving a Target in Minneapolis, and there's so many people yelling things at him it's like a comedy skit

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made

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

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Trump testing the “Too Dumb To Fail” theory of governance.
