When I left the polling place during the last general election I had to wipe away a few tears that just would not stay in because I knew it would be the last time I would be voting in a fair election in this country

We need the music more than ever. Share widely, play on full repeat. And thank you Bruce. Jersey lives.

We already knows their names and faces. They're our friends and neighbors, our parents and children, our colleagues and clients.

Goodbye to the Butcher of Minneapolis

WE CAN SEE THE FUCKING VIDEOS, PENDEJOS

Turn it up fuckin loud.

For anyone still asking, didn’t you learn your lesson? I don't like sharing this, but here’s a lesson those people should learn themselves, those people who are inflicting this terror on everyday citizens, and those citizens who still support them. 1/

He was a nurse. His last words were "are you okay?" She was a mom. Her last words were "I'm not mad at you." Then they were both executed with multiple shots from masked paramilitaries acting with impunity.

For those who weren’t alive back then, the death cards scene from Apocalypse Now, playing out in our time with ICE agents leaving them in the empty cars of people they’ve abducted

Germans know their Nazi fashion when they see it "Does my Nazi haircut make me look short?"

His name is Liam. He’s a 5yo pre-K student. ICE agents staked out his preschool, followed his father home after he picked him up, then used Liam as bait to get the family to open the door to their house. 1/

Bring on the CMF Party. She is absolutely right.

When people who aren't tuned in ask, well what are they doing that's so bad, what are they breaking, where's the real damage, what does it mean to me, it's often hard to answer because they've flooded the zone with so much shit, human scale gets washed away. Here are four excellent resources 1/

The United States has lost all standing in the world, and even within our own country, except among a minority of rich white supremacists and those who walk at their heels

Trying to read a book and instead checking back here every 5 minutes

Major historical moment happened today in Davos at the World Economic Forum, with the extraordinary and sadly brilliant speech by Canadian prime minister Mark Carney. 1/

Chicago stands with Minneapolis

Lifelong Rams fan putting aside personal preferences to stand in solidarity with my community. I win either way, and I reserve the right to celebrate either team, but this year especially this means more to Chicago and people I love: friends, neighbors, everyone here still standing tall. Bear down.

Hope people realize that on the other side of this - social media needs to go - brokers trafficking in individuals' private data need to go, taking almost all of the digital advertising industry with them - which means paid access for most media, and - media needs to be re-regulated to some extent

We didn't have ICE or DHS 25 years ago and we lived just fine, until a lazy, incompetent president ignored the warnings from his own intelligence services. A lot of us said back then we would regret the establishment of these departments and the enabling laws and budgets, and here we are.

She still fucking had a pulse when the EMTs arrived 15 minutes later. Affirmative duty to immediately render aid is Minnesota law and DHS policy. That entire fucking crew, from the shooter who ran away, to those who blocked medical aid, should be charged, prosecuted and convicted for murder.

Criá cuervos, y te sacarán los ojos. Raise a flock of crows and they will pluck out your eyes.

“I wish I'd never seen your face or heard your voice You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit you out Open up this wound again Let my blood flow red and thin Into the glistening Into the whiteness Into the melting snow of Minneapolis”

We all knew this was going to happen the moment he appropriated the Club World Cup trophy and pocketed one of the athletes' medals

Any asshole can learn to fire a gun, and eventually every asshole does

"This is not a civil war. This is a federal invasion by a mafia state." And of course, you can’t vote out the mafia. Sarah is one of the best and most necessary writers of our time.

Can't imagine what the 2A people think about this, or what one is eventually going to do about it.

Of all the horrifying incidents and videos from the last year, this one stands out. How any woman in the country could condone this how any husband, father, brother, boyfriend could stand down if this happened to someone he loves...

This is what Stalin did with Lavrentiy Beria and other heads of the NKVD, leading to Beria’s famius quote: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” 1/

You really have no idea what it’s like unless it’s pointed at you, until it’s going on around you. And it makes you feel that everything you knew about this country, everything you’ve been taught, everything you once believed, all the good stuff, is a lie.

Would rather live next to someone who crossed a desert to become an American, than someone who would watch an execution of another American and say she deserved it. Why is it they don’t need any evidence to believe a lie, but all the evidence in the world isn’t enough for them to believe the truth.

We are NOT having it. State of Illinois and City of Chicago filed suit this afternoon in federal court against DHS/CBP/ICE, Kristi Noem and others regime officials including Todd Lyons and Gregory Bovino. 1/

The reason we're getting inundated with AI slop and other content sludge is because for so long we tolerated memes and gifs generated by content farms generated either for profit or propaganda purposes. 1/

EPA just said fuck you, fuck your children, fuck your grandchildren, there's money to be made here. "In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives"

DHS posted this on X on New Year's Eve. There are 350 million people in the United States. 250 million are white. What do you think they mean here. What could they possibly be getting at.

Not just rhetorical that the regime immediately and loudly labeled Renee Good a domestic terrorist to justify her execution. That's because they changed the definition of what a domestic terrorist is with an executive order (NSPM-7, link below) back in September. 1/

Don't know why I can' get this scene out of my mind these days

Scary how true this is

For all cops and other agents of darkness who ask if we've "learned our lesson," here's a fucking lesson for YOU to learn: Had an uncle, Guadalcanal Marine, tough as nails, dropped on the island w/ a wooden rifle and bayonet and told to fight his way off. 1 in 5 of his company made it out alive. 1/

I’m a fan of a different team, but I am so happy for the city of Chicago tonight. Wowowow that was absolutely insane.

He wasn’t shooting a “terrorist,” or even a stranger. He was shooting his mother, his teacher, his wife, any woman who ever had any control over him.

The video released today is evidence of premeditated murder. It's a public execution. A snuff film.

Guys like that never keep their families, and justice often comes in the dark at the kitchen table in the middle of the night with a bottle of liquor in one hand and their service weapon in the other.

Was a nice try, but we didn’t make it to 250

Look, the point of reading history is not to be some smartass about all the bad things that happened long ago and far away. The point of reading history is to be able to recognize what's about to hit you square in the face.

Don't see this every day. Nationall Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Won’t be long now before Americans get an unwelcome education in what constitutes an illegal order

They got their trigger incident (always knew a white person would be at the center), now they’re diverting agents to force a showdown with the Minnesota National Guard so the dictator president can invoke the Insurrection Act. Always thought Chicago would be ground zero, but here we go.
