Trying to imagine creating a trailer like this for other wars. Imagine the French popping this out in 1778.

There was that whole World War 2 thing.

If we had some real journalism they would play this video the next time she is interviewed and ask how she squares that circle.

reader you are not prepared for the embedded audio here

Guy there are flying robots that can drop knife bombs, and little helicopters with bombs attached to them that can blow up your head. The funny walking robots that you could AT-AT are not the scary thing lol.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to getting peed on while taking public transit is “toughen up” public spaces should be safe and pleasant, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

Truth has inherent value.

For my Midwest homies, Bosco Sticks

I think a good rule of thumb is if you upset someone your first thought should be "Hmm, what did I do to upset them?" And not "Hmm, how can I prove they shouldn't be upset."

Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison suspended two officers for coordinating with Border Patrol in violation of department policy. He said he “intends to terminate them." Our public records request showed two more instances of officers calling immigration agents, with @kobylevin.bsky.social:

You should automatically acquire citizenship if you have a kid who’s a citizen at birth

This is just made up nonsense. It's no different than saying the core principle of communism is pogroms and mass starvation.

I think we should start referring to the big cities of the US as the heartland. It's a much more accurate comparison, since cities are what pump innovation, culture, and money all throughout the country.

I re-read this and basically every single line is a dig against Trump. Amnesty, peace, the Midwest, high energy, the assassination attempt, union leader etc. I have to admit Newsom has a great comms team.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Every time the "pregnant women are special" trope is used in sci-fi or fantasy I just believe it wholeheartedly. Like yeah of course their magic is stronger or they can sync with the giant robot better.

Extremely funny that he is STILL mad about the kickoff rule. It might be the thing I've seen him be most consistent on.

Just had to help someone figure out how to get to the waterfront in Seattle from the airport. Definitely seems like signage should be reworked.

I also recommend this for anybody who has an interest in safety or security. The basic ideas talked about are relevant in any field where you want to build a system that is resilient to human error. I'm in cyber security and found it very relevant to my mindset.

Amid growing affordability concerns across the nation, President Trump said he is looking to drive housing prices further up, not down.

"Democrats can't abolish ICE right now so don't ask for it." Republicans spent decades screaming "End abortion." Then, when they had the power to do it, they basically did! Repeating out loud what you want to happen even though it can't right now is good politics!

I'm willing to compromise and have every single person involved in this merely put in prison for the rest of their natural lives.

I don't think I've ever worked 9-9, not even once. I've pulled a couple late nights as I'm sure any sysadmin has, but I reckon if you have to do 9-9 that you fucked up somewhere.

I stopped trying to explain any.kind of flavor after a European said root beer tastes like toothpaste. Realized I have absolutely no idea how anybody tastes anything at all.

Hey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social: You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.

Walz: "We're no longer having a political debate. We're having a moral debate."

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

"You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple."

Love to see a ratio like that

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Regarding ICE murdering citizens: Charge them like anyone else. Accountability de-escalates. Inaction guarantees escalation.

I think it's best for my mental health to stay the hell away from the internet today. But, now and forever, fuck ICE

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

I.E. these 7 people specifically voted to murder people and abduct 5 year olds and use them as bait.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

If I didn't live in Washington, I'd want to live in Minnesota.

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition. They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

This is a nearly.daily occurrence at the Federal Way station.
