‘The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.’
I don't think it matters whether or not Alex Pretti had a gun www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

in case you missed it, I WAS ON NPR TALKING ABOUT COW TOOLS THIS MORNING AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT:
A lot going on in the news, but if you want a small break, I talked with @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social about "Cow Tools" and cows using tools www.npr.org/2026/01/25/n...
Videos of cows using tools are drawing attention back to a cult-favorite cow comic
A recent study that shows how cows can use tools recalls the controversial 1982 cartoon from "The Far Side" comic strip called "Cow Tools."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).
Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

something else that’s really clear is the extent to which Trump himself is checked out and declining and Miller is running the show
Trump used to have some lizard brain sense of optics - not an understanding that things are bad but an understanding that they looked bad
that’s completely gone now

the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

There is a direct line between the IDF using Palestinian children as human shields, and ICE using 5 year olds as bait.
That line is that the IDF trains ICE. That is what the training is in "they just need more training"

Some motherfuckers can read "Grapes of Wrath" and somehow decide that the banks and cops are the heroes
every election cycle for ages now, and the morons and freaks keep sending a GOP supermajority to #okleg.
They don't uphold "Oklahoma values," unless those values really are "screw the poor" and "whitey uber alles." At this point I'm not sure Oklahoma *has* any values left.

Come on, stop this shit. It’s a colony. I’m not defending Trump or the US here. Half of the episodes of Borgen were about how the Danes still think of Greenland as a colony and feel vaguely bad about it, sort of. Greenlandic Inuit are still treated like second class citizens in Denmark.
