Mr miller sir sleep is coming for you now. The cold wind is blowing. Let it move you. Accept it. It’s time for a nap Steve.

He’s completely cooked. His grand strategy just completely eviscerated Trump’s signature policy issue and eliminated the leverage he had over Republicans and the one thing Trump hates more than anything is being failed.

Even Stephen Miller is jumping on CBP for the killing of Alex Pretti The top White House adviser and hardline immigration advocate is the latest Trump official to pivot after backlash.

Mr miller sir the president has lost confidence in you. You’re going to need to turn in your badge, your social media account credentials, and of course your DHS-issued lubricant www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Good. I don't give a shit if people think it's performative or late to the game or whatever. Every damn celebrity in the country should be using their platform to push back against fascism.

The entire power of this event comes from the fact that it does not code as “kayfabe,” and once the members of Congress are there it will. It sucks but it’s the truth.

Even if CBP doesn’t let up, the odds that Joe Q. Roganlistener cares about some agent beating up AOC is just not that high. It’ll start coming across as a photo op. That can’t happen!

Let the people of Minneapolis be the ones fighting back in the videos and stick to defending them in Congress. Trump voters and “moderates” need to be able to feel that this is an attack on normal people, not guys from the news.

I hope this doesn’t come across as craven. But, to be honest, I don’t think the Democrats should go to Minneapolis. Once there’s members of Congress on the streets, CBP will tone it down and it will start to feel partisan. This shit is breaking through because it’s so visibly just normal people.

1000 points to whichever craven NYT Opinion writer writes “Whether it’s JD Vance pandering to Nazis or Tim Walz comparing hiding from racial purity police to Anne Frank, both sides have a Holocaust dismissal problem”

It’s working! CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND ASK THEM TO DO THIS

This is the lesson over and over btw. People really want something they can believe in that they can put into practice.

She doesn’t. But Wiles and numerous others scattered throughout the administration (not to mention GOP members of Congress, who have been pissed at Miller for months now) do.

This is how I feel about all “image generation” software (granting that not every use is as evil as making fake nudes). I have never, not once, seen a use case for it that was morally above “harmless.”

You’ve got the analogy right but its meaning backwards — just like in the real mafia, when the lower levels see an opportunity to stab a higher up and take power, they’ll do it.

I know we're up against the monster of capital and all but have we considered part of our problem is that we take people's righteous anger and funnel them into a million fractured non-profits more concerned with saying the right words to assuage their conscience than action?

JD Vance's strategy for succeeding Trump as head of the MAGA movement is predicated on retaining and exciting the support of violent Nazis all around the US. That's what makes his Holocaust commemoration so unique.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

I've said many times over the past year that the task before the left of center is to build new, functioning institutions in place of the old and failed ones. I think Minneapolis is the perfect example: state and local govts no help, courts a mixed bag, but the people built their own networks

I’m going to start calling it the Department of Male Insecurity, I think

Now we’re cooking with gas

bsky.app/profile/uhac... As you probably saw I do not feel the same way about my own church. But God has used you guys to make us purify ourselves before and I can only pray he will do so again. At any rate, God bless you guys.

It’s really moving

I saw that. Holding the mass was a step in the right direction, the statement was 5% less pathetic than his previous statements but still pathetic. But honestly, he should be out there. He should’ve been arrested with those other clergy at the airport or something.

Yeah. A voice of sanity.

Like. Ok. I know that the theological “debate” here is more complex and also has been resolved between Catholics and Lutherans. But for all the terrible e-apologetics about how Luther supposedly believed faith mattered rather than works, who is it who’s actually doing the good works?

I also know that there are a lot of Lutherans specifically in Minnesota! I wouldn’t expect equal numbers. But just, you know, a little bit more public presence. Something.

I am aware that some of our bishops are slowly waking up and that a lot of priests really are troubled by this. I’m not saying it’s full Hitlerization. But the relative silence is just pathetic and embarrassing.

I’ll just be up front about this, the absolute shame I feel as a Catholic right now cannot be understated. The mainline Protestant churches are incredibly well represented in protests in Minnesota. We’re not.
