I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.

"fuck yeah now everyone hates us"

"Oh no now everyone hates us"

one of the most important lessons we can learn in this moment is that we have no democracy. There is no consent of the governed. Elected officials do more to stifle popular will than fulfill it. We have no democratic input on national security or economy, abstracted away behind bureaucracies.

When a little Nazi turd gets added to your Signal group chat by accident, you can in fact just start a new one without him in it

This is happening! An NH friend of mine lives just across the river from Maine and works over there sometimes. He said the locals are already picking out ICE agents at restaurants and bars, on the streets and at stores to berate them and run them off. Mariners will just say people are "from away"

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.

Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.

Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

SCOTUS refused to block a lawsuit from family of Amir Locke, a 22-yold Black man killed by Minneapolis police during no-knock raid. The officer sought qualified immunity, but lower courts said bodycam footage was too unclear to support his defense.

Amir Locke’s family will get their day in court.

There are more and more stories of ICE/CBP sexually assaulting people, abusing partners, drunk driving etc. While the people they shoot in the face - that they justify doing so i the name of law and order - are guilty of such crimes as ::checks notes:: existing

Contradictions as a tactic allow fascists (and others who abuse their power) to operate in multiple realities.

It’s tough to pin them down because they always did something that runs opposite to your accusation of wrongdoing.

Until every taqueria is open and partying without fear of ICE, I'm not letting off the gas

There are multiple approaches to building your group. You can vet heavily, which keeps the group small and prevents you from building numbers (at least at any decent rate). Or, you can accept and integrate quickly and risk being infiltrated. Pros and cons to both. Quantity has a quality all its own.

The fact that they are making Bovino the fall guy shows that they are worried, but it does not mean that any policy changes.

It's a signal to increase the pressure even more, not back down.

Like he’d have a 30 point increase if he dropped the ferret Nazi stuff and just did queeny there should be live productions of Evita on ABC stuff

The two Senate Republicans who've been pushing hardest for an investigation into Alex Pretti's death--Tillis and Cassidy--were also among the top-10 Senate recipients of NRA donations in 2023. Which makes me wonder how big of a role the NRA played in pushing for Bovino's ousting behind the scenes.

This goon hit himself in the face with the kickback from his “less lethal” and was halfway to water boarding himself with his own blood. Still wouldn’t take off his mask though!

Ugh, this is all my fault, I mistakenly added the editor from The Atlantic.

And that's not even incorrect! Mr President sir, your most wet, serpent-like vizier has wrecked your approve/disapprove numbers on the only issue where they were actually positive. He is trying to wreck your legacy sir! Think of the Ballroom

She appreciates Mr. Farage’s support, though.

kier starmer will do anything to get trump to like him

again, none of this is a crime, so writing it in the opsec app for opsec chats would not have made a difference. they’re just finding people they think are soft targets and backfilling justifications

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

At the nurses strike outside of Montefiore Hospital in the freezing Bronx, nurses and residents take a moment of silence for fallen nurse Alex Pretti

Greg Bovino won't see the posts you make riffing on his stature and job loss (because they took his social media accounts away)

IMO, Kash Patel may or may not be smart enough to intentionally throw this out there to scare people away from using Signal at all, thus pushing them towards using more easily-monitored digital comms in the demonstrably false belief they’re all “equally bad.”

Let’s not give him the win regardless.

As others have noted, huge Signal chats are basically the same as large minimally-screened in-person organizing meetings.

There’s always gonna be a trade-off between accessibility, speed, and security when rapidly responding to emergent events.

CANMN is an extremely good place to send some inside thoughts money www.canmn.org/donate

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

one thing i am going to do is every time i wanna post something that could get me in trouble i will post some mutual aid links instead so please know every time you see a link it is because i am keeping an inside thought inside www.standwithminnesota.com

FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.

Important: Kash Patel’s egregiously anti-first-amendment statements here and Cam Higby’s claim to have “infiltrated” huge ICE-monitoring chats do NOT mean Signal is somehow “compromised.”

“An asshole manages to get added to some massive + intentionally minimally-screened chats” is not surprising.
