Elon ruined Twitter

And to refer to him constantly as President Miller.

I love this so much. You are so right.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Trump Administration wants your DNA and social media Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP).

The #Trump Administration wants your #DNA and five years' #socialmedia - www.privacyinternational.org/news-analysi... and family telephone nos. "#AI tools will likely be deployed to unlock details of your life for border and immigration agencies."

Part 1 of 2 screenshots reads: "The court's patience is at an end. Accordingly, the Court will order Todd Lyons, the Acting Director of ICE, to appear personally before the Court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of Court. The Court acknowledges that ordering the..."

Part 2 of 2 screenshot reads "...head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step, but the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried an failed."

NEW: A federal judge in Minnesota orders Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to appear IN PERSON this Friday and explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt.

"The court's patience is at an end," writes Bush-appointed Judge Patrick J Schiltz, who clerked for Scalia. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A vote for ANY Republican IS a vote for Trump. There is no light between them. They don’t think for themselves. They obey his dangerous whims without question. I know I won’t be alone connecting them together ahead of the election. I just didn’t think Trump would be helping us do it! Thanks bruh! 🤷‍♂️😆

Welp. If the most Republican Democrat is calling for it, that's something.

If true, then that is an utter failure by House leadership to inform the caucus. Bye Jeffries.

If not true, then this crass apology is not accepted. Bye Suozzi.

Or maybe we just toss 'em both out.

Surprise, surprise. Not.

Nazis used promises of food to lure Jews out of hiding so they could be deported to death camps. This has Stephen Fucking Miller’s fingerprints all over it. He’s evil, but deeply unoriginal.

Minnesota elementary school telling parents that ICE is sending flyers offering food support to families. ICE is trying to bait hungry families.

This is what Tom voted to fund.

Carter calls the surge and violence another method of trying to strong-arm the state to give up voter data, a fight they've lost in the courts.

There's a pending fight in MN.

"I'm fairly confident that they will lose. They have lost all of these cases."

Carter: "The conduct we're seeing here is so much worse that the 10th Amendment must prohibit it."

Carter says of Pam Bondi's letter to the state: "It’s a shakedown letter. It’s a ransom note."

He says that Bondi demanded three things to end the surge.

"Is the administration moving the field goal, moving the goal posts? Yes, they are. That’s what you expect from someone who is extorting you."

Fox News pundit falsely accuses Alex Pretti of ‘literally’ pulling gun on ICE Fox News’ Joe Concha raged about Minnesota Democrats “gaslighting” the public about the recent ICE shootings in Minneapolis before making a false claim about the Alex Pretti killing.

Fox News in a nutshell.

Accusing others of "gaslighting" whuile gaslighting your viewers.

Good thread here on how this morning’s hearing went. Make sure to follow legal reporters doing the non-glamorous work of tracking all this crap.

After 36 hours justifying the killing of Alex Pretti, Fox News suddenly changes its narrative

Fox correspondent Bill Melugin’s stark acknowledgement that "videos appear to show [Pretti] never drew his holstered firearm" was whiplash-inducing for anyone who had been following Fox’s on-air coverage of the killing -- and it marked a major shift.

5 Big Reasons Why Electricity Prices Are So High Right Now The average U.S. household is projected to spend nearly $1,000 this winter to heat its home.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.
