these people know how extreme they are

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

On moral disgust: "Just as neural habituation can drive ethical collapse, it can also drive escalating spirals of virtue, in which one honest or brave action makes the next one easier to carry out. And because our brains adapt to repeated behaviors, movement in a given moral direction can persist."

When you finally run out of fucks to give.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

“Along with billion dollar Skills Development Fund Fiasco Ford gov is speeding in school zones and stunt driving! They have one set of rules for themselves and one for rest of us and they are giving our money to their rich friends! Ford is acting like Trump.” #Onpoli 🤬

I made print copies of my book a fundraiser to raise awareness of food sovereignty/security issues in the North, but the PDF is free if you want to download + donate directly to QCFC + other orgs.

Du Bois basically did a version of this in his bibliography in Black Reconstruction

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

You need to see this:

“The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

This. And this again.

Some good argumentation around letting money affect your values: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrSs...

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

We're too busy building high cost and polluting nuclear and gas plants in Canada to build out low cost, renewable wind and solar power, like the rest of the world is doing.

Truly disgusting

ICE detained an autistic 5 year old girl in Leominster, Mass

Using this child-a US citizen-as bait to lure her father-who has lived in the country for 20 years-out so they could arrest him

How do these people live with themselves
