I'm genuinely boggled by how "give them bodycams!" became the cause du jour here. Is it because liberals think bodycams are somehow defensive? Years of cops having them have shown that they do fucking nothing.

Also: THEY RECORDED THEIR OWN MURDERS ON THEIR PHONES.

don't fall for charlie hebdo's criticism of ICE & the US...they still are and will always be an anti-Black, anti-Muslim & anti-immigrant rag!

just a month ago they had an extremely anti-Black and misogynoir cartoon of Senegalese-Gambian journalist Rokhaya Diallo

once again, fuck that racist rag
Wow.

Amazon has only launched around 180 of its Leo internet satellites into orbit and astronomers say they're already obnoxiously bright.

that's kind of a problem, since Bezos plans to send up another 3056 of them.

Amazon’s 180 internet satellites are already too bright. It wants 3,000 more.
A new study determined 92% of Amazon Leo’s satellites may currently impede research.

A lot of people seem to be arriving due to my post about divesting from Amazon, so if you'd like to support me in leaving the platform, you can check out my books on my personal webstore!
I released 2 trans books this year.

The 1st is a romcom where a guy falls in love with sexy Totoro at a drag show

The 2nd is a soulmate romantasy where a guy cursed with immortality has to make amends for his past by healing other people's soulmate bonds

"The government knew of the horrors at Fort Bliss."

"[B]efore the two men died, a coalition of civil and human rights groups sent a letter [..] warning about 'alarming' conditions at Camp East Montana."

As I said, democrats don't oppose ICE on its principles, just its aesthetics.

Biden and Kamala bragged, repeatedly, about having expelled and deported more people faster than Trump did. But without the bad vibes.

Walz is continuing that fascist tradition.
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

There's not going to be a White House press event about this. There's not going to be a media blitz about "domestic terrorism" around this incident. No one in the administration will tweet about this. All because white supremacist violence is encouraged by the state.

in the most charitable version of these events, a less-considered downside of collecting information on every protester you can is that if you end up killing one of them later, it’s gonna look a lot like a hit
CNN is reporting that federal authorities may have been collecting information and "documenting details" about Alex Pretti before killing him on Saturday, and that officers tackled him a week earlier. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...
Alex Pretti was in earlier confrontation with federal agents who tackled him, broke his rib, sources say | CNN
Federal immigration officials have been collecting information on protesters and agitators, sources told CNN.

DHS knows who did it! Evening news said their investigation found that 2 of their thugs shot Alex, that means they know *which two guys shot him*

They have the information, they are not giving it to us
Who shot Alex Pretti? It’s a simple question. Demand an answer. Or admit that they are in fact Secret Police and you don’t live in a free country.

dear future me, when you're trying to remember why you hate Wil Wheaton, if nothing else it's because he compared not wanting your country to support a genocide to "wanting a pony"
But they had something to vote for, it was and is called 250 years of flawed American Democracy.

They demanded a pony, and when they didn't get one, they had a tantrum, and now we are all suffering. Of course I will blame them. They failed the easiest open book civics test in history.
