This is a much better picture of him, crying and running away

“And then everything goes into this markdown file” is the computer programming version of “and I don’t even need a real toilet because I have all these empty mountain dew bottles already”

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Demand the name of the shooter.

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Italian journalists of RAI (the Italian major TV and public station) stopped and threatened by ICE. This should not be the narrative the US government wants to send abroad.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

🚨Kristi Noem and Jacob Frey appeared on the SAME show right after another and this is a must watch: NOEM: I'd hope Mayor Frey will set up a peaceful protest zone…so we can work together. FREY: 1st Amendment speech isn't limited to one park or one section of the city… so no.

Dave Grohl, from the Foo Fighters, brings a little boy up on stage, asks him what song he knows on guitar, and he starts playing “Enter Sandman”. The crowd goes wild.😎💙😎💙😎

Sen. Ruben Gallego on Trump trying to take over Greenland: "This has nothing to do with actual security concerns. This is the president being an idiot."

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

Trump: "It's actually a legal definition -- 'whole milk.' And it's whole with a W for those of you that have a problem."

Minneapolis tonight.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it. Next week is what will break you.

If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this. It'll take a strong stomach to read this "gift" link.

Gallego voted *yesterday* to confirm another Trump nominee for the Defense Department.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

The current US administration really doesn’t want you learning the truth about #Israel’s #genocide. syzito.xyz/@fkamiah17/1...

One good thing about me is that my brain works and I don't fall for Orwellian, propaganda nonsense like this. The Israelis are breaking the ceasefire and NBC News is actively running interference to support the Israeli government (as are most other American corporate media outlets).

You guys caught this too, right? “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.” Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.” 1/2

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

These are the men you need to worry about in a women’s bathroom.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings. “It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale. This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading: www.thenerdreich.com/joe-lonsdale...

Been getting a lot of pushback, especially on Threads, so, Mea Culpa: In hindsight, had I known that calling all Trump supporters racist would hurt their feelings and make them so upset, I would have done it much sooner. Sorry, I'll try to do better.

The law applies to all of us - including federal officers. We recently put the Department of Homeland Security & US Department of Justice on notice: they must halt all unlawful actions by federal officers in Oregon, and we are actively monitoring federal conduct. No one is above the law. #orpol

A senior Israeli official makes the case for killing 100–150k Palestinians per day and refers to it as a “golden opportunity” on Israeli TV to a receptive crowd. Descendants of the hoIocaust.

Israeli snipers were casually using Palestinian children as target practice, and then laughing about it. This was 7 years ago. But sure…tell us again how “it all started on October 7th.” It never started on October 7th. “There’s a little kid.” “Do I shoot him?” “No.”

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"
