Some Republicans are expressing “deep concerns“ about Homeland Security murdering people. But what will they say two weeks from now? We remember how they acted — oh so briefly — after Jan. 6.
The Republican Party is a traitor party. It must go the way of the Whigs.

I will be calling both senators and my Congressman tomorrow and every single day this week.

According to congressional staffers I know calls are better than emails. Light up their phones!

NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NONE.

We don't need body cams. We don't need training. We need ICE *abolished*.

NOW!!!
Friends, I recommend you ALL get on the phones and or send emails first thing tomorrow telling @democrats.senate.gov NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NONE.

They are, per Chris Coons, planning to negotiate body cameras. This willl not change the violence, the invasions of our cities.

Don't let randos into your chats, sure, solid advice

But DO let them into your contrived honeypot chats filled with your most competent shitposters spinning increasingly ridiculous yarns to hold their attention.

Now THAT is praxis.
Important: Kash Patel’s egregiously anti-first-amendment statements here and Cam Higby’s claim to have “infiltrated” huge ICE-monitoring chats do NOT mean Signal is somehow “compromised.”

“An asshole manages to get added to some massive + intentionally minimally-screened chats” is not surprising.
FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says
FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.

Legacy media created a new professional standard after decades of bad faith attacks: that if one side is lying, it’s biased to privilege the truth.

This reminds me of 7/21/97 when three undercovers walked by me in the lot and one was doing chew, another was wearing a cowboy hat, and the third was Black. 🤣
Do you know any locals’ Signal group chat? I’m kind of antisocial and I’m quite nervous to ask. Like, is there a group chat, maybe like a Democrat group chat or an anti-ice group chat? Thank you. Would you like to move this toward message so nobody else can see it?

I think we can all agree that it's a great thing that the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl.

I reached out to a friend in the Minnesota Orchestra to check in on him and he's hanging in there but said it is a nightmare there.

He shared this mutual aid link with me and asked me to share it.

I donated $20 to three organizations. Looking for 10 people to match me.

For those unfamiliar with Edina this is the Minneapolis equivalent of a Westchester socialite walking down Fifth Avenue singing "John Brown's Body."
They got Edina Moms excoriating the Administration and signing off with a a land acknowledgement. They are so fucked lol

Tim Cook being at the White House tonight of all nights for a private screening of MELANIA is so deeply embarrassing.

If I had any backbone and wasn't so deeply ingrained in the Apple ecosystem I would get rid of every one of my devices and never look back.

Cue the 1984 Macintosh ad. 🤦‍♂️
On tonight’s White House agenda:

Trump and guests will get a private screening of MELANIA, the documentary about the First Lady, @thr.com reports.

Attendees include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Mike Tyson, per the article.

Timeline cleanse.

With my wife off to Hawaii to guest conduct, 11 and I hit the National Gallery of Art today to escape this cruel world and had a room full of Monets almost to ourselves.

We got to get really close to a couple of them and then I showed him how they come into focus as you back up.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"

And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”

And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.
Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I know forecasts change all the time but as of two days ago this storm was bringing us 21 inches and now it's down to 9.

That will still cripple metro DC but 21 would have really made things go sideways.

I've developed a game plan for when ICE hits my neighborhood. Who I am alerting and how. That doesn't seem imminent but I'm prepared for when they do because they will.

Also just purchased a bunch of whistles to hand out.

Are you ready for not if but when they hit your town/neighborhood/street?
