Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

I had folks telling me yesterday that Patriots owner Robert Kraft has actively distanced himself from Trump. Well....

Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.

Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*

The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

Cathedral Basilica of Saint Cecilia in Albi, France 🇫🇷
It is widely considered the largest brick building in the world. 
The cathedral was built in the Southern French Gothic style between 1282 and 1493.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil

A timelapse of the enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest in Chicago yesterday (Sun Jan 25, 2026).

They’re trying to tell you it’s a Minneapolis story, that protests are small and confined.

They’re lying.

How the Bernie Goetz Shootings Explain the Trump Era A notorious event in 1984 divided New Yorkers in ways that feel extremely familiar four decades later.

Best thing I've read in the Atlantic in years

A Trump regime thug shot an unarmed civilian in the face at point blank range with a kinetic impact projectile, leaving him permanently blind and with shrapnel in his eye and skull for life. The 21 year old, Kaden Rummler, barely survived the attempted murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Let's not forget this!

So he's sleeping in the Oval then?

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

Conservatives, liberals shift gun rights arguments after shooting Some gun rights backers cite Alex Pretti’s gun as a justification for his killing in Minneapolis, while gun-control supporters dismiss its relevance.

Look, I'm glad we're having a conversation about the hypocrisy of the legal logic used by America's gun nuts. But can we stop pretending this is a new thing? They have never advocated for universal access to firearms. They only want their team to be armed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

(As an aside, the fact that these ideas go back to our inception when only 6% of the population could vote, thus sustaining that minority power largely explains why the most democracy-fearing members of the Supreme Court are all "originalists". But I digress.)

"What we're seeing on TV, it's causing deep concerns over federal tactics and accountability…We believe in federalism and state rights, and nobody likes feds coming into their state...Is it to deport every single non- U.S. citizen? I don't think that's what Americans want.”

State sponsored racism. As an instructor of both literature and history, these actions by small, frightened, ignorant bigots appall and enrage me, to say nothing of the sorrow I feel for the students.

You don't need to defend yourself or your service.
My sincere thanks for your service and your desire to make our country better.

It’s clearly TWO Americas, because for some of us this has NEVER been true

Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

The next time a Republican talks about Alex Pretti bringing his gun to the protest show them these photos.

Just a reminder that the paper is owned by one of the wealthiest men in the world who recently paid $40 million to distribute a documentary about the first lady.
