Please watch this….

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you're wondering what the tech bros are planning for the world, you might want to check out my conversation with @gilduran.com of The Nerd Reich today at 5:00 on my YouTube channel and Facebook. Gil has been studying their ideology for years now, and can walk us through it.

Finishing Ned Blackhawk’s ‘The Rediscovery of America:Native People’s and The Unmaking of U.S. History, and while delving into Henry Roe Cloud and Elizabeth Bender Cloud, he briefly mentions that whey would have been a are and influenced by Theodore Roosevelts’s 1906 Commencement address…

Sounds about 99 billion too low

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.”

Ban drivers getting away with manslaughter and murder

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

For anyone that wants to read an engrossing novel about what kind of future this is we’re possible living and moving towards, check out @lailalalami.com ‘s Dream Hotel. Then get offline, maybe forever…

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

The Indian Removal Act was bitterly opposed in Congress and the nation. It was and is widely believed that Jackson pushed it through by bribing the last, recalcitrant votes. It's a landmark in the legal history of cruelty, and it should have a remembrance day of its own.

We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

Day by day, we’re seeing the Justice Department effectively decriminalize and wave away crimes by Trump’s friends and instead selectively focus investigatory resources on Trump’s adversaries and enemies. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/crime-is-n...

Fuck the @nytimes.com for its relentless pursuit of ‘careful and deliberate’ treatment of relentless, malevolent, destructive forces in our society.

every day is a good day to put NYT in its place

Donald J Trump, can lick my ass. We have no President. Fuck all these sycophantic goons. Teams of ignorant fucking cowards.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly. www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...

Explosive original reporting about Trump's plans to drastically restructure domestic law enforcement to target immigrants en masse and crack down on opponents.

President Trump is pulling federal funding from PBS. He can’t have a smart, curious, and inspired populace and also get away with his infernal bullshit. His agenda is to destroy American democracy and, in the process, loot all of our resources that he covets. open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...

Has someone made a resistance translator for the NYTimes? Because, we need one…

Truly an abomination, to the point where I don’t even see how their political calculus supports it

Today is Stevie Wonder’s birthday. Do you know how a great man celebrates another’s birthday? www.anildash.com//2022/01/17/...

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...

Here in North Carolina, we have a statute, section 15a-401 of the NC Code, that requires police officers to identify themselves when making an arrest or during the functional equivalent of an arrest. There's no equivalent federal law, but there needs to be. Might be something for Democrats to push.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

Elizabeth Holmes defrauded investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars, put people’s lives in danger by giving them false blood test results, and is in prison for 11 years. And now her husband is starting THE SAME COMPANY. White privilege is a performance enhancing drug. shorturl.at/dTC5d
