This piece captures a lot of what's driving my frustration lately. I literally said to my husband last night, "I have to stop reading words written by idiots who think they're smart or else I'm going to turn into the fucking Joker."

See ICE? Add Heat β€’ Ill Will A meditation on civil war in America, circulated in the aftermath of Alex Pretti's murder in Minneapolis.

Only we protect us.

β€œstepping out of their vehicles will draw a crowd in minutes, if one wasn’t already following them. ICE agents can’t so much as eat or sleep without the possibility of being confronted by opposition forces.”

Let me save you the trouble of a subpoena, DHS.

You can just look me up in agency records for the counterterrorism consulting work you’ve paid me for (ISIS; Al Qaeda; far right extremism; militias; lone wolves; Neo-Nazis; accelerationism; etc.).

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

As a reactionary centi-billionaire, Musk's core belief is in his own superiority. Everything else is fungible. He will donate money, switch parties, drop business partners on a dime if it is advantageous.

He knows that only governments can restrain his greed. So he has aligned w the far right.

"The Crime of Witness" by Fintan O’Toole in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

"The videos that expose the administration’s mendacity about its own use of extreme violence against peaceful dissent are themselves products of the courage to show up [and] see for yourself."

Minneapolis city council president Elliott Payne (front left in video) has been an absolute champ throughout the ICE invasion. Some of our MN leaders have been useless or worse, but Payne and some other council members have been heroic.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Leon Botstein, president of @bardcollege.bsky.social, has repeatedly made public statements about his relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have turned out to be misleading, incomplete, or untrue. I'm going to make a thread to compile them all here.

THAT. IS. PERFIDY.

I am so sick and tired of these fucking cunts - be they the IDF or their acolytes in ICE - just going out there committing war crimes in broad fucking daylight and absolutely nothing being done about it at all. And we all KNOW nothing will be done. Laws mean fucking nothing.

Important to mask up these days in MN. I know some people who have been frustrated by the lack of masks in places indoors where important work is being done. Avoid dining indoors at restaurants too (anything where you have to remove your mask).

Some of us are due for spring boosters now or soon...

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.

Don't despair. Get mad, hone your anger to a razor sharpness, steel yourself.

No one thing will save us. Whatever you do best, do it as hard as you can against fascism, and do it now. You're the cavalry.

thread. related, my impression is a lot of higher ed administrators are significantly oriented toward making a mark on an institution in the short term so they have a claimable on their CV to get their next admin job elsewhere. that incentivizes vandalizing institutions, whether by AI or otherwise

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
