there are so many well-paying gigs available right now for saboteurs and whistleblowers

I don't know how United Nations, World Bank or G20 events go ahead properly in the US now It's not safe for global participants to travel to the US, and in any case, State Dept just froze visa processing for 75 countries www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

“Scrambling” to undo your own, Constitutional authority 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

oh, the pentagon runs the FBI now?

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Amazing how quickly the pretext for invading a city just falls away. The circular justification in Minneapolis is now “we are punishing the city for resisting our punishment.

watching the USA collapse in real time is wild.

ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs." Via reporter @ericazurek.bsky.social www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

At this point it’s going to be surprising if many countries send their World Cup or Olympic teams here, let alone if any fans actually travel here to see it.

Breaking WaPo: The FBI executed a search warrant this morning at a Post reporter's home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified materials. 
It's highly unusual and aggressive for law enforcement to conduct a search on a reporter's home.

New: I got body camera footage from a case in which a cop used Flock to wrongfully accuse an innocent woman of stealing a package: "Nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing about it" www.404media.co/cop-used-flo...

goin' great for operation chucklefuck

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

More gold-toned signage has been added to the White House exterior. (It continues to look more and more like a memory care facility…)

Someone inside DHS leaked the names of 4,500 ICE and CBP officers to a nonprofit that tracks ICE. About 80 percent of those name are active. www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-d...

Bidens job as President was first and foremost to protect the United States of America from enemies foreign and domestic and he fumbled the bag like none other before him. You could say, ultimately, he is the sole reason we are here. He was the only person who had the immense power to stop it.

There’s no bottom

holy shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

This administration is utterly evil and perverse from top to bottom.

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen announced that "If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU."

DHS and ICE continuing to use Chinese drones - as featured in the video below - is illegal under laws passed in 2024 that required U.S. federal agencies to cease using them by late 2025. dronedj.com/2024/11/15/u...

gamergate ass government

The public sentiment on ICE is rapidly souring and any Democratic politician who still has a finger in the wind should be getting the message clearly now.

Trump take coffee

As others have noted, "Abolish ICE" is in positive territory without Democrats even pushing the message. If they actually leaned into this, they could easily move that number much higher.

When I started writing a book about the origins of the Civil Rights Division and its growth into an important government agency, I didn't realize it would need to become a how-to guide for rebuilding it.

There may be a day when my assumptions about anyone with “critical thinker” in their bio are shown to be wrong. Not today though.

This is the first time Scott Adams made me laugh.

This is happening because Flock's data export system has relied on each and every one of its police customers to properly redact files. If even ONE of those customers messes up the redactions, they end up revealing targets for entire networks. This has inevitably happened multiple times now

New: Police have released info about millions of surveillance targets nationwide from thousands of different police departments because of a public records redaction error in Flock data. Reveals active police investigations, border patrol & ICE targets, lots more: www.404media.co/police-unmas...

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

perfidy (concealing a military object as a civilian object like Hegseth apparently did) is both morally abhorrent and also puts EVERYONE in danger because it erodes existing and pretty-dang-effective norms around “don’t shoot at civilian aircraft.”

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

your best sign that abolish ice is the only way forward is third way opposing it

Took longer than promised but thank you Joe.

To an extent I appreciate the need to take the Alberta Independence movement seriously but the irony of trying to host your separatist event at “Canadian” Brewhouse to be told to leave and then pivoting to “Swamp Donkey” needs to be highlighted.

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.

the tech world increasingly uses religious/mystical language to claim some kind of non-understandable superiority.. which makes sense because that's what toxic religious leaders have been using to gaslight their flocks for thousands of years, it's well worn, over-promise/under-deliver strategy

Watching them all fall in line to brazenly lie to protect their new secret police/terror squads from accountability for shooting a scared mom in the face 3 times, is a reminder (in case we still needed one) that it’s no where near enough to just replace Trump. It’s the entire immoral & corrupt GOP.

"One year into his second term, how has Trump performed on the economy? The answer is: not good. Not good at all. Other than the depths of the Great Recession and the covid pandemic, job growth in the first year of Trump’s second term was the worst in *over two decades*" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

The next time you're on a commercial airplane wondering if you'll get shot down because you will be mistaken for a warplane, be sure to thank Donald Trump for making that more likely.

lol owned

Actually, I'd say they're even worse. Jim Clark and Bull Connor largely focused their abuse and assaults on African Americans who were taking part in public civil rights demonstrations. Greg Bovino is invading private homes and workplaces looking for his victims.

thanks to inflation "days" means roughly 30 minutes

Several things at once: 1) I don't care if Epstein wrecks their reputations 2) It's still good they're fighting it because (a) it's good to have Epstein in the news, unlike Trump neither of them hold any office nor are running again (b) their stonewalling highlights Trump / DOJ / GOP stonewalling

btw bluesky is having its biggest month in a while by the math
