I can’t get the face of this autistic woman out of my mind.

She was driving through an area where ICE was active when they forcibly removed her from her car. She was on her way to a brain injury clinic appointment. She screamed as they carried her away that she was autistic and had a brain injury.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital

What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

It makes me really happy that people like Dave Letterman and Rick Steves turned out to be solid dudes.
LETTERMAN: “.. CBS News is a wreck. It’s just gone. .. The integrity of CBS News .. has been trampled on, pissed on and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.”

As a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence, I cannot describe how much it pains me to hear the Vice President say we owe a debt of gratitude to man who shot a woman in the face and then called her a fucking bitch.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

man I can't stop thinking about how that could be any of us, if things don't change eventually it's going to be.

it's easier to imagine my husband's blood on the car seat than it is to imagine an end to all this, what the fuck do we do with that other than decide to do what must be done.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

the president should be a person we can go a few days in a row without thinking about. our brains simply weren't made to think about a president every waking hour. it's unnatural.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

This is certainly not a new or unique take, but Kevin’s parents in the Home Alone movies really are terrible, terrible people.

The NFL pregame used Isaac Hayes' Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymystic, a phenomenal song I know best as a reliable choice when I had to run to the bathroom as a college radio DJ.

“I personally like raccoons,” said Samantha Martin, an officer who works at the local animal control. “They are funny little critters. He fell through one of the ceiling tiles and went on a full-blown rampage, drinking everything.”

I understand the “love your neighbors regardless of politics” ideas. But this is what happens to me. I ran for office a few years ago as a democrat, and ever since the fella who kindly cleans the whole streets walks refuses to do mine. Nobody talks to us. Fuck Trump and his cult.
