Of course

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Why are they sending witnesses to Whipple?

NYT video analysis confirms victim’s gun was removed before he was shot. So he was unarmed. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-federal-agents-video.html

The whole interview is worth it

Had the passing thought today that if ever there was a time an EMP might get dropped on an American city, it's right now. The videos coming out from citizen observers are the only factual record of what's happening, and they will want to stop that. (And 'they' are not a foreign entity.)

THEY'RE MURDERING THE HELPERS

“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.”

no matter what trump or anyone in his administration or any republican or any random shit online says happened to alex pretti, we know what we saw. never forget that you KNOW what you fucking saw.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

What a wild ride.

I can buy an Olympic medal off of eBay. Doesn't make me an Olympian. Doesn't mean I earned it. And everybody knows it.

Trump Admin Went Easy On A Red State After Punishing Blue States For The Same Exact Thing Mississippi caught a break on an embezzlement scandal that funneled money to Brett Favre and others.

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.

Figured I'd try to distract myself last night before bed by watching the first couple episodes of All The Light We Cannot See. Perhaps there are some lessons in there that will help me figure out how to deal with all this <waves hands around>

Just curious -- where's the Executive Order that dismantled the Hatch Act? Did I miss it?

Do with this what you will.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.

“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”

What has America become?

I mean we already knew this but it’s nice of them to advertise it for us

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

I want us all, but men in particular, to really, really hear these words.

"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."
"I thought someone was going to kill me."

Just finished the finale of S3 of And Just Like That, and uh... Carrie's book ending? A woman in 1864 faced with being "on her own" is not the empowering message Carrie seems to think it is. Did she not see Little Women?!

Every time a queer/trans person (or someone who they can label as such) commits an act of violence, it is used to demonize the entire community. And yet, despite the fact that cis white men carry out the majority of violent acts, this same demonization doesn't seem to occur. Convenient. 🤔
