There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Los Angeles is destroying itself and it is so sad to watch

i don't view people with the standard blue profile pic as individuals. y'all are like ants in a hill, all working toward the same goal of making me kill myself

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

fuck you. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. THEY KIDNAPPED A BABY TODAY AND USED HIM AS BAIT TO KIDNAP HIS FATHER. ABOLISH THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS.

A culture where this kind of overt we're-breaking-the-law-and-have-to-hide-it can happen and filter down the ranks and go for months before a whistleblower reveals it, as opposed to everyone immediately going "hell no that's crazy and illegal," is not fixable or reformable. Burn it to the ground.

We have an executive branch that's on a crime spree against the American public. The other branches of government can use their constitutional powers to put a stop to this. If they decline to do that the only other remedy is in the declaration of independence

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale. It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment. Read it here: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

ICYMI: Here's my op-ed in the NYT today about Trump's occupation of Minneapolis and other American cities, and why it's uniquely dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o...

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

"the guy pooping in the reservoir is criticized by both sides, therefore he must be doing something right" please use your fucking brain

News outlets declaring “Trump Accepts Nobel Peace Prize” is a red alert state media indicator

every time i log on something horrible is happening but also people are trying really hard to help

If our authorities exist for the protection of the people, then the laws should exist for the protection of the people, not the protection of authorities. If the law exists for the protection of authorities, then the authorities do not exist for the protection of the people.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

They later claim he “reached for something” after illegally searching him and discovering a legally owned firearm in a conceal-carry state. The video contradicts them. If refusing to “carry papers” gets a U.S. citizen assaulted and arrested, this isn’t law enforcement. It’s a police state.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Treaties are federal law. As a signatory to the 1949 NATO treaty, the U.S. is barred by law from attacking another NATO member. Therefore, an order to draw up plans to attack Greenland is an illegal one. Military leaders are obligated to disobey illegal orders. Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess we’re about to see if the Republicans would rather go to war with Europe than stand up to Donald Trump.

Not to ring my most rung bell but this was also the successful strategy with the mueller report by having bill barr release a false memo so the media would write “no collusion” headlines and by the time the full report was published two days later it didn’t matter what was actually in it

"Stop treating the Trump administration as if it's acting in good faith, recognize that it is clearly engaged in bald-faced lying" is such an important message

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Also, ICE is effectively the paramilitary arm of the Republican Party, so any Democratic party strategy that doesn't start with abolition is just head-in-sand stupid. Reforming ICE is not possible, and leaving it intact is not compatible with democracy.

It feels like the admin’s defense of Renee Good’s murder creates a self-fulfilling prophecy for future killings: Justifiably scared people attempt to avoid Feds because they see what can happen, their attempt to flee is deliberately mischaracterized as “weaponizing” their vehicle.

So many electeds have grown so comfortable with play acting learned helplessness. Local governments don't mind getting sued when they trample on the rights of their residents. But ask an elected attorney to get creative on resisting ICE + deadly feds & suddenly they don't have any power.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

The purpose of journalism, especially when reporting on authoritarian actions, is to say what happened, not say what a wrong or lying person claims happened

News outlets that play the lie from Noem/Trump about the ICE murder and ask Dems “what do you say to that” are 1) endorsing the lie as a valid view & 2) affirming DHS/WH strategy of lying and knowing it will be treated as true The Dem response should be “you saw the video, what do YOU say to that”

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

“are you saying we should just ignore the people who think wokeness is the biggest threat to modern civilization? thats a lot of people” yes that is exactly what im saying, they are morons

“but andrew half the country thinks biden stole the election” they are stupid and we can call them stupid and dismiss their opinion

More and more people are saying it. Call stupid people stupid. Enough already. You are able to live without Smallpox because of a vaccine and post on your phone because smart people made those things. Shut the fuck up if you're an idiot and be thankful

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Because these are highly educated people in the highest positions we surely underestimate how much of jurists like Alito's *news* comes in the same Fox bubble as most voters on the right. But over and over their communications betray just that.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This is the crux of it

it's good that people who work for ICE are being ostracized by their communities and confronted at their churches. that's actually what living in a society is

Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

Tldr: cops lie almost every fucking time

Look, Donald Trump may have had a lengthy, well documented friendship with America’s most famous pedophile, and he may have spent decades giving quotes like “if there’s one thing I love, its beautiful girls—young ones, too,” but I just need 4-5 more drops of damning evidence to buy these accusations

It’s enraging the extent to which the corporate media is not relentlessly covering and showing this brutality.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

A really good read here
