This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

It's genuinely kind of funny that the ALL-AMERICAN MAGA HALFTIME SHOW is going to have the guy who sang this as its headliner right in the middle of all the Epstein stuff

“That guy is a trip!!” = I invite you to say something negative about that guy so we can both trash him.

Impeachment is the only Constitutional check Congress has against a lawless president and talking about it would be a good start to reasserting Congressional power in the future. Assuming of course Congress wants to do that

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Oh my god she admit it

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Umm… hard NO to this. Has this master of strategery learned nothing from Trump’s behaviour? No amount of appeasement nor pride swallowing will satisfy Trump. It just emboldens the next ask/demand. Firm resolve. Build what’s in our control. And stay the course as a sovereign nation. 🇨🇦

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

There is evil and then there is this

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

The TACO cycle: Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank. So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Canada's EV deal with China shows how U.S. belligerence is driving allies away. It also is stranding the once-powerful U.S. auto industry, now doomed to make domestic gas guzzlers and exist as a footnote globally. @ryanlcooper.com reports: prospect.org/2026/01/20/h...

This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

99% chance this is what they mean

even aside from the casual racism this nitwit deploys, imagine how dumb you'd have to be to not understand why people might more readily protest a murder carried out by their government, for which their government is unrepentant, than than a murder by an individual.

this is wildly illegal and the courts will rule it such, but congressional democrats should be thinking long and hard about the terms under which they will agree to continue funding this government

Basic, simple, health precautions based on data and science - overreach Secret police, military invasion, summary executions, ethnic cleansing, and concentration camps - not overreach

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

they are already turning this into a "debate" and an excuse to scold the left www.thefp.com/p/the-right-...

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
