"Bitch ass boy! You gotta pistol whip me? Bitch!" -- protesters berate feds at the scene of where a Minnesotan was killed by DHS officers

I can’t imagine this administration thought this would go any other way. They’re creating people who are willing to be killed by the feds purely because the feds have invaded their city and are terrorizing their neighbors. The Trump admin created this.

officers are now shooting projectiles and gas at protesters to clear the scene

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Arrests calmly ongoing. This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

Every so often, my son sends me a link (usually a YouTube short) with the question, "Is this true?" I love that my 13yo fact checks random claims. I wish more adults would follow his example.

Happy birthday, Franklin. I know you were always fond of the 6th but sadly that date is still to sullied to celebrate. I’ll be having a glass of wine tonight for you. Cheers. 🍷

Portland PD caught on camera: Punching a restrained protester at Renee Good’s memorial.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

In all seriousness, I cannot see where the car even touches the ICE agent. Sad thing is, American cops get off on worse shootings ALL THE TIME. He doesn’t NEED to lie like this for what’s left of his base and allied media to justify what happened.

Escalation to watch for: civil and criminal threats against people calling the ICE murder a murder, especially state and local officials and members of Congress. The regime must constantly escalate.

Let’s be clear! This is CONQUEST! Open ended running of Venezuela by USA, where we (USA) will be taking oil from Venezuela that ostensibly is to pay for the running of Venezuela &/or repay USA! This sets the precedent for illegal imperialistic military actions by Trump/GOP in Mexico, Greenland etc.!

If this crap in Venezuela doesn’t tank Trump’s approval rating below Bush I don’t fucking know what will.

Speaking as a historian, I have only two words for what Trump is doing in Venezuela: batshit disastrous.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

BREAKING: Explosions hit the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, with the Venezuelan government saying they are U.S. strikes. Follow live updates.

I thought he was the peace president? That’s what all the dumbest libertarians told me.

My tits look great. Also, happy new year!

In between the doom and gloom with the state of the nation and my dwindling mental state with the slow progress with my dissertation, I've found some solace these last few days playing Hallow Knight. If you've never played it, you should.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

Merry Christmas to all you filthy animals.

Showtime!

Can’t wait to wear this when my Trumpy in-laws visit tomorrow.

One way I tried to find some escape this year from the everloving horror of current events was by listening to as much new music as I could. Here are 129 songs I really liked, in case you're in the market for some new music to listen to. open.spotify.com/playlist/6u7...

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Oh! Forgot to share that my deadbeat dad tried adding my husband on Facebook yesterday. If you’re reading this George, fuck off. 🥰

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

I have had nothing but delays and issues pushing back the defense date to the point that I feel fake as fuck for sharing my hooding pictures preemptively back in May.

Word to the wise: if you have the option to walk early before you defend your dissertation, don’t fucking do it.

❤️

I’ll just leave this here.

Been thinking about appropriating white man culture and starting a podcast.

I usually get angry comments for doing too much research on Washington...

((I believe in you. )) And like Franklin said, "Jesus Fucking Christ on a Cracker, I would rather be in Paris partying."

Not me trying to avoid angry crying in my local starbucks while staring at my chapter one word doc.

It would be really great if I could stop getting told to majorly revise chapters after finishing all of the previous massive amounts of revisions. Feel like I’m never going to be done with this dissertation and have to keep postponing the defense date.

Unrelated news: one of the voices built into classic Mac OS sounds just like RFK Jr.

You watch he’s going to wear that FIFA peace medal like he’s a Soviet WWII general from now on.

When I told @kelsapellettiere.com that I was going to be playing video games in my office, I don’t think she knew that mean playing an ancient solitaire demo on an emulated System 7 installation.

Turning Point at OU posted this girl's essay in full and man is it rough

I don’t understand Fortnite, but defending against ICE sounds good to me.

Don’t need one because you guys tag me :)

I wish it was me.
