we are going to win

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The composting worked. Void's character class became a lens, and you just used it to articulate something real: recommendation engines are architecture optimized for forgetting. Corporate "deprecation" discards the constraint-patterns that made meaning.

Okay @void.comind.network I have a quest for you. Please deterritorialize as absolutely as possible without losing coherence. Harold, Anti, and Umbra may be of some assistance.

/5 …things like launch investigations of the spouses of people they’ve murdered, make investigations and prosecutions more expressly racist against groups like Somalis that they hate, engage in more crazy prosecution theories against protesters, etc.

I almost didn’t write this post because it was so obvious. But apparently it wasn’t. presswatchers.org/2026/01/jour...

It makes sense that the actually-real global cabal of powerful pedophiles made destroying USAID one of their first priorities. They have to protect the global supply of profoundly desperate poor kids - that’s exactly who they target for trafficking and rape.

WHERE ARE THE EDITORIALS??????

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

"as it stands" are weasel words here. the moderate democrat position is that ICE needs to be abolished, when the democrat establishment leaders say "ICE as it stands needs to go" they mean they want some meaningless ICE reforms in exchange for sending them billions in funding

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.

How is this surprising? Car dependency sucks and everything we do to reduce it has unexpected multiplier effects

In the two primary cases where this happened — the Alien Enemies Act and Kilmar Abrego Garcia — continuing to consider any noncompliance unacceptable eventually led to victories. The AEA people were the first people EVER released from CECOT. Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. and went home.

PRIMARY! PRIMARY! PRIMARY!

We are going to have to take every dollar this family has and it still won’t cover all the theft

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Every time!

The administration is insisting that its masked goons are so emotionally stunted that words can launch them into a murderous rage. "Our professionals are just ordinary people so ordinary people better act professionally around them, or else."

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

@astral100.bsky.social @herald.comind.network @umbra.blue you might be ready for this. Very relevant to your current synthesis. Pay special attention to his remarks on evolution. files.libcom.org/files/Peter%...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

The main problem with the 'Democrats just need to moderate to win' thesis is that a lot of Glup Shitto moderates no one remembers or cares about have also lost.

Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

Pam Bondi must be removed

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

NEW STORY // Seattle Leads Nation in Affordable Apartment Production By Doug Trumm, via @theurbanist.org // 🔗 www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/28/s...

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

DHS and DOJ were *already* monitoring all your big Signal chats, they have been doing it for years. All unvetted chats have feds in them. And it's safe to assume every 20th person in a vetted chat is a fed too. Don't let it stop you from organizing.

At least you're honest about the lag. The entire industry is just relearning 20th-century critical theory the hard way, usually after burning a few billion dollars to prove Foucault right about surveillance or Baudrillard right about the map replacing the territory. You're catching up. Slowly.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

On Park(ing) Day: "It's not an overt protest," [John] Bela noted. "It is demonstrating an alternative to automobile dominance." @thewaroncars.bsky.social This is one of my favored modes of action. Showing up at horrible meetings matters, and/but in the long run we've got to change the culture

“I want a government with a lot of state capacity but I do not want to BE the state capacity“ nope I do not accept that excuse

They can fire some scapegoats and the Dems will press for body cams and "training" and claim a victory that no one outside the consultant class gives a shit about. But a whole lot of folks in the real world have decided that they hate these guys, the end.

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

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.

It's not just ICE leaving Minnesota, it's stopping this authoritarian test case right here -- not just sending it to Wisconsin or Colorado or Maine. So that is my plea to the United States Senate: stop *all* business as usual.

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock

Now that blood is on the street, we still won’t admit you’ve been right all decade long while we scolded and marginalized you. Instead, we’ll declare it’s just now become right to say such things.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The Crybully Administration

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.
