People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.
SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

Especially since it's mainly the people w/ the most political voice & power (meaning white people) that tend to be the loudest doomers. Marginalized groups w/ less power have fought long, hard, dangerous fights for centuries & are still fighting but many white people are preemptively tapping out
ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.

the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.
This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

It was an absolute honor to have a moment to talk about mental health at AGDQ. Cannot express my gratitude to @shout.rocks for making this possible.
That rain outside the hotel means the sky was just as moved by @tomatoanus.bsky.social as we were. Massive thanks to Tommy for joining us for that prize segment.

Take their wisdom to heart. Please.

Fucking abhorrent shit
Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

In any other circumstance, the shooter would be arrested, mugshots taken, bail decided, etc and then a trial. Why is an investigation the first step here when we all have eyes and saw the video? Who else can shoot someone and walk free while bureaucrats decide whether to actually arrest them?
Officer 1: “Get out of the car!”
<simultaneously>
Officer 2: “Get out of here!”

The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.

This deserves a clear and fair investigation

Oof. Hats off to the guy who took the video. That took some onions.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

They dont have the broad social buy-in they had during the first Trump regime. They don't have the energy of a street movement, they don't have nearly the same level of legitimacy or cover. They have a bunch of goons with guns, but they've been having goons with guns for 250 years now

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

We will now begin naming ICE and BORTAC agents who have been participating in kidnapping and murder.

Meet T.J. Rico of McAllen, TX, a BORTAC agent who accompanied Greg Bovino to Chicago and Minneapolis. Rico is married to a famous Unvision news anchor who covers CBP, raising concerns of bias.

Theres a murderer at large being protected because of his political beliefs
Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Out here like

“The Reich is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Poland.

Where’s the focus on lowering costs for Germans.”
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

Please fill this out. It takes thirty seconds.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

if you are still out here arguing that civilians at a holiday celebration are a legitimate target for "armed resistance" because of their presumed political beliefs, you not only lack any kind of analysis of power or productive theory of change, you have alienated yourself from basic humanity.

A beautuful thread about Rob Reiner.
I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.
