Truth. They’ve been in LA, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and SLO counties this entire time.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

To quote Andrea Pritzer, "The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards. "

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification? Is this right?

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

Obama actually won his Nobel Peace Prize.

my library weeded a Marie Kondo book today. i think it’s what she would want. 📚

“Do you believe deadly force was necessary?” TRUMP: “They were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.” Apparently being disrespectful is punishable by death now

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

Is it illegal to flee the scene of a crime? Yes. Was there some crime committed that ICE was responding to? Almost certainly not. Even so, if you flee the scene of a crime, the penalty is not death.

Shot her point blank and then prevented/did not administer medical aid. Arrest and charge all of them.

Can’t lie - this is where my mind went to first when the news broke (once an MLB employee, always an MLB employee I suppose). Hoping all of the winter league players in Venezuela and their loved ones are safe. This whole mess is absolutely maddening.

ICE just dragged innocent cooks, dishwashers & landscapers through our city streets, tortured them, said they had no claim to seek asylum, sent them back to Caracas, and then back bombed Caracas. Disgusting. Awful. Criminal. They have no right to pretend they care about the Venezuelan people

WHY IS THE US DECIDING WHO GETS TO RUN ANOTHER COUNTRY??

Why are we capturing the leader of another country? And his spouse? What the hell is going on?

Discovered a very shallow pond in my living room this morning (thank you, CA storms), with the Christmas presents right in the middle. Happy Christmas Eve!

Is all of LA being evacuated? What’s with the rapid fire public safety alerts?

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

On a completely different note, something that did not disappoint this week was Burn Order by @maddow.bsky.social I’ve read many stories of Japanese-Americans during WW2 but the way this podcast strings it all together is stunning. And it’s happening again, to different groups, 80 years later.

What did I just watch? Jake Jagielski and back to being hot chef Gabriel get mere cameos while the pouty mama’s boy is the entire season? My cheesy, campy check out of real life show blew it. On a day that I REALLY needed to check out. I want those 5 hours back.

When your party controls the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the Presidency, you don't get to blame anyone but yourself for your failures.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

In complete shock. Honored to have met him. Thinking of his kids. I can’t even imagine.

We just had a threat assessment presentation from a lieutenant whose child survived a school shooting. Someone injured in that shooting is now on lockdown at Brown. Two students lost their lives just trying to prep for finals. And our feckless government will continue to do nothing.

In other words, this administration did not do its due diligence because they are too consumed with making sure that people looking for work at Home Depot or dropping their kids at school are ripped from their families. apnews.com/article/laka...

"Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us." Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.

Stubbornly refusing to turn on the heater in Southern California since 2010. (It is pretty chilly in here though.)

Also one of the most genuine and nicest guys in MLB. Rest in peace, Randy 💛🤎

Charlotte’s not messing around.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Bill Clinton is not protesting the release of the epstein files and I’m not hearing of any Democrats that are fighting the release of the files.

There is more to this than the obvious corruption. I suspect it is the latest attempt to withhold the incriminating Epstein files. If DOJ has an open, ongoing investigation into Epstein again, it can use that fact as a pretext for withholding any documents, lest it undermine the case. So shady.

I’m so proud of us, California 🥹 And we celebrate with you, NYC!! And Virginia and New Jersey and Pennsylvania too 🍾🥂🍾

Never been happier to have muted all the words related to the most insufferable MLB organization.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social fyi, ICE roughed up and pepper sprayed in the face protesters in Durango, Colorado who protesting ICE kidnapping a father and his two children *by mistake* www.denverpost.com/2025/10/31/c...

The Blue Jays were the true winners this season. Their heart and team spirit are unmatched in baseball and any other sport. Minor league players became stars. Stars became superstars. Thank you for the memories, the fun and the great season of incredible baseball! #BlueJays

When ICE can target people on tips from internet trolls or because of their criticism of a foreign government, ask yourself—how long before they take issue with you? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

Since the corrupt federal government is now attempting to interfere with our state election in California, find a ballot drop off location and get those ballots in early! caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
