Just spoke to CA Senator Benjamin Allen’s office (reps mostly coastal communities in LA and parts of the hills/WeHo) - he is on the committee that will hear this bill next (Judiciary). Sounds like he is supporting but if he’s your state senator give him a call to make sure: 310-414-8190

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

States have the right to prosecute federal officials for acts that violate state law and are egregious, unreasonable, or unauthorized, so it seems like a court could reasonably be asked to find that the federal government owes a state, at the very least, the name of an agent who kills their citizens

it kind of seems like a state that has been told it will not be shown evidence or provided with the identity of the shooter if a federal employee kills their citizens in cold blood on video should maybe take that sort of thing to the courts to work out the federalism issues there

Fun fact! Supreme Court Barnes vs Felix - 2025 A police officer who steps in front of a vehicle is defined as “officer-created jeopardy” and DOES NOT legitimize deadly force.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

In response to the murder of Renee Good, every U.S. state can and must pass a version of the Illinois Bivens Act, allowing anyone to sue a person who violates constitutional rights during civil immigration enforcement. Call your STATE legislators. Explainers: verdict.justia.com/2025/11/14/t...

this is just a private equity equip list

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/07/i...

I can't go through all 50 and look for it rn but if your state has a Bivens Act already introduced, tell me and I'll repost for people in that state to call their reps about it

For CALIFORNIA: You can call your state senator and tell them to support Weiner's SB-747 as amended: legiscan.com/CA/text/SB74... (There is some weird political game playing nonsense where old versions of this bill had some behavioral health stuff lumped in, careful what version you read.)

I think this is right. The master logic of this administration (and its associated industries) is speed and scale. Flooding the semiosphere with incongruous narratives and actions is part of the 'strategy'

One year after the devastating Eaton & Palisades fires, we’re still waiting for the White House to release funding that families desperately need to recover. The fight is far from over, but @padilla.senate.gov and I are working everyday to make sure Californians get the assistance they deserve.

It has been a year since the fires in Southern California last January. Trump lied to disaster victims – federal aid still has not come. He's punishing people because of where they live, including the many Republicans who live in Southern California. We need to deliver this aid immediately.

Trump and his administration claim that ICE officers face tremendous danger while they're on patrol. However, the data tells an entirely different story.

Context: A decade ago, Border Patrol agents had to be ordered not to put themselves in front of moving vehicles as a pretext to use deadly force www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/new-dir...

read this shit and if you are in a position to make decisions about punditry, stop platforming pundits who aren’t clear-headed about the fact that this presidency is a 4chan op that took the White House, not the coherent outgrowth of a consistent ideology

people who aren’t overthinkers (she types, as if she’s really going to find THOSE in the millennial poster retirement home): wtf does the inside of your brains sound like? Is it just sunshine and birdsong in there?

“Competitive salary” ok, but what division is it competing in?

The U.S. attack on Venezuela has led to a surge in antisemitic rhetoric online, as we’ve seen waves of antisemitism after most major news stories for years. What separates this is not the occurrence, but the incredibly high engagement we're seeing online. Take this post with nearly 2 million views:

this thread is making me really want to teach adult literacy, but how do you get the people who need it to realize they need it, much less be willing to admit to a stranger they need it?

There we go. That there’s a headline.

at least once a week I open Facebook and just scroll my feed telling people I know and like in real life that the heartwarming dog story they just shared was generated by an LLM, at best to farm revenue from Facebook and at worst to create a list of easily fooled targets for high-lift scamming

My MiL asked me to help her with her Facebook app recently and it was appallingly full of scams, propaganda and AI bullshit, and nothing at all about the people she actually knew and followed. I've kept my Facebook locked down for so long I forgot how bad it was if you're not tech-savvy.

I had meningitis in high school and was in a coma for several days. When I came back I had to relearn how to read fucking compound sentences bc my working memory was broken. Vaccinate your fucking kids.

And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.

can we upgrade it to "America first referred to a hit list" yet

Trump is the first US president to bomb 7 countries in one year. Based on verified reports from Al Jazeera, Fox News, Washington Examiner, and CBC, the seven countries targeted by US strikes under Trump in 2025 are: Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

At the end of a very long Saturday, this is where I landed: “Where we are is an extremely difficult moment, and that is reality, but it need not be where we go. In this moment, then, there is a chance to create a better America, as hard as that might be to see this weekend.”

people in LA will put "I'm laying low this weekend" on the RSVP when they haven't showed up to anything in a decade girl how long is your weekend and where do I get on THAT calendar!

hey @forbes.com can we get an update on this

Statement on Trump’s military actions in Venezuela.

Jack Smith: The evidence made clear that President Trump was, by a large measure, the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol as part of this case does not happen without him.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

does Qatar just have nothing better to do than play "psst, pass it on" with literally all the worst people and groups on the planet? what is going on here

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.
