i’m BACK and i’m WETTER than EVER

skill issue. those guys are my friends

paigeheads stay winning

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

straight up doing a pump & dump on the likelihood of them being able to prosecute a journalist. what a time to live through

it’s surreal the extent to which this lines up with previous accountings of ascendant authoritarianism. watching from afar as everyday working stiffs in Minneapolis are shot through a cannon of radicalization while all the people around me just kinda grimly shuffle on is bizarre, dreamlike

twilight zone

From someone on the ground in Lewiston, Maine:

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

A small, ancillary detail in this horror that made me cry

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

early contender for thread of the year

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Meanwhile.

imagine paying billions of dollars to give nazis COD-style first-person snuff films to pass back and forth like memes. i am begging people with influence in this country to please fucking get serious about the situation we’re all in, who these people are, what they’re doing

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

the most Minnesota sentence you can possibly think of www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Lewiston, Maine: “One property manager whose tenants are almost exclusively African immigrants showed a reporter a form being passed around so undocumented parents could designate temporary guardians for their children in the event of their arrest.”

We tend to think of things happening in the present as the endpoint of stuff that's been percolating for decades, but it's also the beginning of new things: These are formative events that nobody living through them will forget, and we have no idea what seeds are being sown for the future.

I keep thinking about how Frances Perkins, maybe the most transformational cabinet secretary in modern history, witnessed the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in her youth, and the things the people on the ground in Minneapolis may live to do.

the heroism of ordinary people is life-affirming. we are always capable of rising to the moment. solidarity forever

they're fucking broken, the one thing you can't do as fascists is run away

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim

the valiant defenders of Minneapolis secured an absolute *haul*

At some point, you just gotta assume that every major media outlet in the country supports the government murdering its citizens.

they have extracted all the semen from every ice agent who plugged themselves alone in a marriott bathroom and now the president is going to drink it

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

important thread. they are doing ethnic cleansing

On this day in 1983 we released the single 'The Cutter' 🐰
