In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Heads up, Twin Cities—

CBP agent Timothy Donahue was photographed outside the Whipple building yesterday. In Chicago, he was documented aggressively detaining bystanders; also involved in at least one car crash.

Most importantly, he also brandished his gun at a crowd in Evanston on 10/31.

This is the heart of it.

Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.
whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

A bombshell new video shows that Good was not actually blocking ICE; instead, she waved for the agents to “go around” her vehicle after dropping someone off.

However, the agents swarmed, pulling on the doors and demanding she “get out of the fucking car!” trib.al/StJkKeI

Happy Friday, Bsky! If you're going to a protest, leave your devices at home. Dumb camcorders are preferred.

Hakeem? You voting for this shit?
ICE funding expires January 30. Call Congress to say whether you think it should be continued. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it.

Treat any Trump official accordingly.
Noem on Minnesota officials: "They have not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in this investigation."

Don’t bring your phone / tablet / etc with you to protests.
New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant

It was a murder. These people are out of control and willing to lie about it. Unqualified, racist, poorly trained goons are out there with guns.

They want to keep destroying everything/everyone we care about so we tap out. So we say dont watch the news because it’s too sad, don’t protest because it’s too dangerous. We can’t allow them to control us because we are fatigued by their bullshit. Fuck em forever

Arrest this officer now.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

I literally spend my days arguing about protecting your Private Health Information (PHI). For the love of god don't undermine my entire fucking job by giving up your health data for free. Do you have *any* idea, especially at scale, how valuable that is & how badly every company wants that info?

BREAKING

President Trump says he will call on Congress to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes.

This is very popular overall, but it’s important to note that the MAGA base has been calling for this for some time, and calls for such a ban have ramped up in recent weeks.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Evidently running KDE Plasma on an M1 MacBook Air is still an up and coming thing. I keep tripping over apps that haven't ported to aarm64 for Linux yet. The performance is insane, though.
