they did, in fact, take decisive action. in the midst of these hearings congress passed the third enforcement act, called the Ku Klux Klan Act. the grant administration used that authority to virtually eliminate the klan, which did not resurface for another 50 years.

it’s super cool that the federal government are trying to propagandize on an official government account using images you’d see on the t-shirt of a guy making his first appearance on three counts of sexual assault of an animal

I likely wouldn’t hate them as much if they literally just said “we have decided to start a new religion where we worship Donald Trump”. I would think they are all stupid as fuck but where they have the gall to call themselves Christians it fills me with an indescribable amount of anger.

These people are all apostates and heretics. I’ve come to understand the hatred that helped lead to the 30 Years War honestly.

If you’re in Minneapolis and you’re willing to do a little high-intensity driving and you think you’re capable of paying very close attention to your surroundings on the road, I can definitely teach you how to do this

Dred Scott was 1857. Lincoln was elected in 1860, war started immediately after he took office, he ignored DS as invalid, the slave power was militarily crushed, and the Constitution was amended to explicitly overturn it. You could hardly pick a worse "liberals didn't fight hard enough" example.

Finally getting that authentic Bluesky experience

Rest in Power, Scott Adams

anyway as i have said many times — and literally just wrote on saturday — i think we should abolish ICE as well as unravel DHS and i welcome elected officials who embrace both outright but i am also aware that any senate majority will contain moderate and conservative democrats who need an on-ramp.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.

Say what you will about Nick Decker, but...

there’s a lot of not getting scared of crowd control shit in these clips

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

No more Yale Guys. Society has progressed past the need for Yale Guys

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. @startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

Today’s events have me thinking about how in 2003, when ICE was first created, neo-Nazi Tom Metzger made a post on the White Aryan Resistance (WAR) forums encouraging members to join the organization and claiming that he had connections to the agency’s leadership

Alea iacta est

If everyone involved isn’t sitting in a Hennepin County cell at the end of the day, our leaders have failed

They need to arrest the shooter, and arrest anyone - Bovino, whoever - who attempts to obstruct the arrest of the shooter.

It's a great day to remember that there is no reason to defend an alcoholic who betrayed his country in exchange for a bunch of filipino maids and a sports car

I had an old post on Twitter about this. The US spends about 18% of its GDP on the social safety net and 3.5% on military. Germany spends about 24-25% of its GDP on the social safety net and 2% on the military. Our military spending is not why they can have nice things or why we don't.

Looking very strong Mr President Sir

i keep staring at this and it gets dumber. "neoliberalism" from "the enlightenment period" is one thing, but if your idea of fascism is literally just "a government willing to kill dissenters," then to be frank you don't have a good grasp of what "fascism" is either.

AHHHHHHHHHH

RIP karl (brainnotonyet), you fuckin sucked dude. lmao

off in the distance, I’m hearing a sad trombone noise

Put a pin in this, I'm still trying to confirm 100% but it sounds like the assault force consisted of C Sqd and 3/75. OPE was indeed conducted under the AUMF. Total control of VZ comms. Recent defections helped the CIA greatly. Maduro recorded constantly to refute any future torture allegations.

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Following his remarks, the former mayor Adams told the assemblage that, "The designs of the lion are draughted in an ink subtler than any eye." He then held aloft two aquamarine crystals, transfigured into a spiritual form, and went up to the Great House of Lemuria, beyond the dance of the stars.

Imagine that this was your heritage—a civilizational project stretching across generations and ethnicities, dedicated to freeing the world—and then you’re like, “No, I’m a conservative, I don’t want that. America is stored in the balls.”

This ICE post is a reference to a Rhodesian Army recruiting poster ("Be A Man Among Men") that's very popular with white supremacists.

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

You can criticize that chatbots are convincing people to commit suicide and criticize that we have a society that doesn’t provide adequate therapeutic resources at the same time; and in any case, we would arrest a therapist who convinced their patients to commit suicide instead of promoting them

Thinking that all this AI discourse is gonna get me to re-read The Screwtape Letters

This kind of AI is essentially demonic, more and more people are saying

The American officer corps not reconciling with how a guy like Flynn could reach the highest levels of American military intelligence is part of the reason we’re in this mess

Its insane this dude was the director of intelligence for CENTCOM, director of intelligence of the Joint Staff, director of intelligence for ISAF, and director of the DIA (under Obama)

La Femme du Raciste... *blows huge cloud of cig smoke* ... est morte

Cannot overstate the white hot rage it fills me with that fucking Moldbug, of all goddamn people, is somehow instrumental to this whole project
