I deeply dislike that the internet became real life.
Everyone at the helm of our political and media spheres are social media addicts. I really preferred when I was the one terribly online and they were the boring adults.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

I don't like intellectual sloth.
Relaxing once in a while, that's great. That's good for anyone.
A life of intellectual sloth, of turning the brain off after high school-- not so good.

Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae will skip a sumo award ceremony where the PM traditionally hands out prizes to champions. The dodge seems aimed at avoiding a challenge to Edo-era rules that prevent women from entering a sumo ring.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.
E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution
In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

It is really important that we understand that women do not have to dress a certain way in order to be undeserving of having AI deep fake porn created of them. It is central to my message that they are never asking for it.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.
They hate women & it shows.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

I am glad to see countless US folks now reaching the conclusion that voting "Democrat no matter what" is not acceptable when they're supporting murder or genocide - the US was always going to implode into fascism unless the Democratic party was forced to be better than "we're not the Republicans".

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?
Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

I understand why people are comparing the ICE shooting to the abuses we see from the IDF but it’s important to be aware that while this kind of thing is very Israeli it’s also very, VERY American.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
