AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

It's so real.

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.

I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.

People are DONE.
i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

It's never been a simple thing for me, I'm a musician, but good headphones and speakers are just non-negotiable for me. There's good deals out there these days and you truly just hear more of the music, in a fuller, richer way. I've heard new parts of songs after switching to better speakers.
Like fancy salt, what’s a simple thing that you’re bougie about?

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

...Anastasia Berg recently used the language of students turning "subcognitive" due to overreliance on Gen AI, which is a nice complementary concept here: Gen AI as threatening the development of basic cognitive competencies that make navigating the world meaningfully as a human being possible.

I remember hearing a south asian socialist activist say that a lot of socialists make excuses for not organizing and gaining power. It's purity tests, it's frustration at the establishment, it's uneducated voters. And? You still have to organize and gain power. There's no alternative.

The central contradiction of conservatism is pretending to always be under attack (protein has never been more popular) and also pretending they're strong scary men with big, hard dicks. Which is it, are you vulnerable or strong? You're definitely some cornballs, but what else?

ICE was literally kidnapping babies out of their sleeping mother's arms under Trump 1.0. It's not the fucking training @markwarner.bsky.social it's the organization. They're gangsters, giving them more target practice isn't gonna fix things. You gotta shut down ICE. End of story.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

Whoa‼️

This article from 2014: US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them.

And remember, Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer, a veteran, and spent over a decade working for DHS.

What's delightful 2 me is how the scholars go (paraphrasing) "it probably wasn't a sex toy, they probably used it as as a novelty or drinking vessel at parties." My brothers and sisters in Christ, that's even funnier.

It isn’t difficult to hold 2 thoughts, side by side, at the same time:

The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, & protection from state violence.

The US & Israeli governments have caused great harm to Iranians and don’t have the best interests of the Iranian people in mind.

i remember when the computer still demanded blood. my dad's Tandy took a mere pinprick from your finger, which was a revolutionary advancement from the bulky machines of the 80's that required a thimbleful to access usenet for a day. that itself was an improvement on the pint needed to join ARPANET

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Even in death, women are denied the bare minimum of respect.

This pathetic, rage-filled coward—after murdering her in cold blood—called her a “fucking bitch” mere seconds after shooting her dead.

The contemptible misogyny doesn’t even pause for a corpse to cool.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."
