Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

On the bright side, at least Cher's #SNL lip syncing led me to sign back in to this app for the first time in months.

Labor, Palestine, black politics. All connected.

How the Israeli Right Explains the Aid Disaster It Created The fiercest defenders of Netanyahu’s war in Gaza continue to insist that Palestinians aren’t starving.

Please read this as an example of how to do journalism in a moment of acute catastrophe and depravity incredibly well.

He challenges and contextualizes every false claim.

Thank you @ichotiner.bsky.social.

ICE offering a signing bonus and student loan forgiveness is another sign of recruitment problems. Even with extremely low standards, they can't get close to the desired numbers.

That's good (fewer personnel means less cruelty) and bad (more desperation, leading to encouraging militias/vigilantes).

A crafty lefty heterodox economist could potentially do some good infiltration work here.

A tweet by Sam Stein (@samstein) reads: “Student loan forgiveness…” followed by a screenshot of a federal incentives list. The list highlights that ICE is offering a robust package for law enforcement, including: a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment and forgiveness options, 25% Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) for HSI Special Agents, administratively uncontrollable overtime for deportation officers, and enhanced retirement benefits.

😐 So ICE can get student loan forgiveness...

Oh, he's in the files too?

History will not look kindly on the @nytimes.com.

The NYT is doing straight propaganda for Israel. It's that simple.

This is some despicable shit. Official atrocity denial in the paper. Because Israel demands it.

CBS News investigation of Jeffrey Epstein jail video reveals new discrepancies A CBS News investigation found discrepancies between the government's description of the Jeffrey Epstein jail video and what the video shows.

If you've been skeptical about the possibility of a Epstein conspiracy, as I have, I encourage you to read this incredible piece of reporting from CBS.

They present fairly compelling evidence that someone doctored the Epstein jail footage and Trump AGs Bondi and Barr and FBI lied about it.

THIS IS A TRANSNATIONAL CRIME SYNDICATE MASQUERADING AS A GOVERNMENT

Book cover HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT THE INVENTION OF DONALD TRUMP AND THE EROSION OF AMERICA By SARAH KENDZIOR New York Times Bestselling Author of The View from Flyover Country

I understand people being skeptical about anything our government does & conspiracy theories can add to that. However, when you look at the facts, the same people have been involved in this crime syndicate for decades. Highly recommend reading “Hiding in Plain Sight” @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

The Billionaires Spending a Fortune to Lure Scientists Away From Universities (Published 2024)

Scientists will now have to rely more heavily on private pharma companies' demands for what they want to develop in order to fund their research, as opposed to following their own basic science instincts. It will produce more patronage-based research, like this: www.nytimes.com/2024/01/12/b...

I don't know that he's destroying the basis of their future wealth. He's cutting out the funding for basic science, which is often the experimental, novel research that leads to massive discoveries, precisely because it's not driven by the immediate need to produce a drug. 1/2

Pat Benatar is an underrated goddess. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

Burn it down and salt the fucking earth

For those “they’re burning down the city” fools in the back who wanna bark

The history is clear of WHO the THUG is

They ask why Black people can’t get ahead, meanwhile several times in American history Black communities were massacred for being prosperous.

Another day full of exhaustion and hunger. We are still fighting the symptoms of hunger and exhaustion. I don’t know how long we will continue. We need you. Please don’t forget us .
