“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Let's all be very clear that ICE and regular cops refusing to identify themselves in any official or legible way is creating a situation that allows murderers and non-state kidnappers to successfully impersonate law enforcement. We had kidnappers do this in Philly this week in ICE costumes, too.

Dear News Networks: The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

Every Minnesotan is yelling at all of you to knock this off. Not competitive districts. Lege is not in session. You don't even go here. This is bad enough without the rest of the country parrotting this. Just. Fucking. Wait. For. Local. Reporting.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

The LAPD "kettled" (coralled) these young peaceful protesters at 715pm. Curfew was at 8pm. The cops held them surrounded until 8pm & began to arrest them one by one. They weren't told on what charge. www.instagram.com/reel/DK3JPKg...

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Trump in 2011: "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective..." This video aged well because it reminds us that Trump has always done Nazi 101 and accused his opponents of what he actually does.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

A shop was like "Our pride flag disappeared & we were afraid it was a hateful person", then they played the security footage & it was a large man emphatically singing Sia's "Chandelier" while swinging on the flag, accidentally breaking it, continuing to sing show-must-go-on style, & stumbling away 💀

This is always such a difficult task in translation. How do you represent accents and meaningful shifts in language without unintentionally signifying something in the target language?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
