I've not gotten some letter like this nor any other high profile trans person I know. This wild rumor has been circulating and no one can substantiate it. Seems like a game of telephone that's inducing panic.

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech.

This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights.

This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Avelo Airlines’ decision to drop its ICE contract shows that immigration enforcement isn’t inevitable; when communities organize, target corporate complicity, and refuse to normalize deportations, even powerful agencies can be forced to back down.
Here’s How We Pressured an Airline to End Its Contract With ICE
ICE is not invulnerable. The Avelo Airlines win proves what happens when we refuse inevitability and fight together.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

you can’t convince me that he didn’t know exactly what he was doing when he called renee good’s WIFE her “friend”
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about.

It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home.

Minnesota absolutely should prosecute Ross for homicide. I'd think a second-degree murder charge would stick.
Hollywood trained people to think "no FBI cooperation = no case." Wrong. Under the rules of evidence, eyewitness testimony is proof. Video authenticated under oath is proof. Minnesota has both. You don't need a ballistics report when multiple witnesses watched an ICE agent shoot a woman in the face.

The way the “news” media is now “interviewing” Grok, a thing that doesn’t make any sense to do, and readily accepting its false information that conforms with the self-serving view of the world they want to report to confuse their readers is *precisely* the point of LLMs as a new form of knowledge.
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

US Border Patrol shot and injured two people in Portland on Thursday, just one day after an ICE agent named Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

“We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts,” said Portland Mayor Keith Wilson.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

The time for state police to arrest the ICE agent is yesterday. You may still be able to do it now. Once that's done, start investigating those who participated in the cover-up.
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"

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

Two people shot, reportedly alive in Portland. Posted a couple of minutes ago that they killed them, but that was straight up wrong. I'm very sorry about that, and sorry if I led to confusion there.
