i hope you don’t beat yourself up. you’re here now for your sister and can speak out against it now. that sounds like a good thing.

runny jello salad at a fundie potluck is some pulitzer-level imagery. excellent prose.

Mark my words, Ring's Search Party will become the next Flock.

Only instead of just being sketchy cameras installed in parking lots, it will be everywhere. That's their play.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

That you can admit making (theoretical) serious mistakes and express regret tells me you’re also likely someone who would try to fix the error. We need more of that. Cheers.

If you’re wondering what teaching America and Texas exceptionalism includes, here is a helpful place to start:

The unprecedented challenge of prosecuting federal agents for killing Renee Good, Alex Pretti Prosecutors, defense and civil attorneys agree it’s a legal situation unlike anything the state has ever seen.

Lawyers are looking at the long game and considering the likelihood of a courtroom scenario that has no modern precedent in state history: criminal charges being filed by the state, without the cooperation of the federal government, against federal officers for use of deadly force.

When someone without opsec argues against opsec, they're not necessarily doing it in bad faith. Their lives and livelihoods are completely different than these nurses and teachers who don't do what's right for the attention but rather at great risk to their financial stability.

Bellingcat community members have already found two files detailing explicit allegations that President Trump engaged in sexual activities with children.

One file is an FBI complaint form and the other is an FBI email chain.

Someone spun up a social network for AI agents.

Almost immediately some began strategizing how to establish covert communications channels to hide from humans.

In many cases the agents are on machines that have access to personal data.

N.J. governor wants residents to record ICE agents, upload videos to new state database “If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out," New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said as the state plans to launch an online portal.

This is the way:

This is what I imagine Blockbuster leadership was like when planning their counterattack to Netflix.

You’re strategically thinking of rollover tactics.

One of the agents who shot Pretti has a recognizable identifier on his vest, NS-919. The NYT cites DHS in saying they are a "Border Patrol agent" and a "Customs and Border Protection officer". (A4 here is the first shooter; A1 the instigator of the confrontation, who fired into Pretti's prone body).

Donald Trump Is Frightened Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

Hmmm. I smell the right tone. Will we see the right actions?

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Analysing One Federal Agent’s Use of Less-Lethal Launcher in Minneapolis After the fatal shooting of Renee Good, Border Patrol agent "EZ-17" was filmed shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters five times in five minutes.

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, on an adjacent street, an agent with the ID EZ-17 fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. See our analysis here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

Could I suggest we add something on how to help? I think people are tired of words without action. This message might go further.

Anyway, thanks for the good faith reminder.
