People Magazine is incredibly clear eyed about ICE being a terrorist organization. I’ll probably buy a subscription because of it:

Just thinking through the analogy. "The Night King, I don't know him very well, but he's a tough guy, very tough, very strong. I mean, he's leading an army of the Undead, I wouldn't mind having one of those. I think we could get along very well, actually."

He’s right, but I’ve got a whole pile of those lines by now. I count them at night like Arya Stark.
It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

Anybody know who's still advertising on Musk's CSAM-machine? I sure wouldn't want to buy products or services from somebody who was okay with that.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

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

The FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge was prosecuted by Idaho. The federal district court initially dismissed the charges but was overruled by the Ninth Circuit, allowing it to proceed. The case only ended when a new district attorney was elected and decided to drop it.
Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

FYI:

In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

The next time someone proposes elaborate tech that is supposedly equivalent to taking X number of cars off the road, counter with a policy that *actual* cars off the road.
Today in the New York Times:

"One year after the start of congestion pricing, traffic jams are less severe, streets are safer, and commute times are improving for travelers from well beyond Manhattan."

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

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…
