😳 Isaiah Taylor of Valar Atomics—which somehow scored a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor by July 4—claimed that “a person cld hold the spent nuclear fuel from [Valar’s] reactor in their hand & get the same amount of radiation as one would expect from a hospital CT scan.”

TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

This exact thing happened to my friend this morning. He was just taking a pre-dawn walk when ICE jumped him from multiple vehicles. Only because he had his ID on them did they let him go.
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

I am extremely here for the opposition's bearhug of patriotic imagery. Resisting a tyrannical oppressor is the most American thing possible.

Also a big fan of @djinnandtonic.bsky.social's work bringing revolutionary and Civil War-era graphic design to the fight.

BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @markey.senate.gov to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents.

This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.

They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

"i am sorry for what i have done in the past and don't yet know how to fix it, but don't want to make it worse" is legitimately about the level best you can hope for someone like this to say, and it should be strongly encouraged anywhere we see it

Perhaps, in all this darkness/oppression, the world could somehow find itself experiencing not an autocratic ascent but "a new birth of freedom;" and "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" but rise while autocrats stumble and fall. Imagine.
And despite it all, this is Tehran 🇮🇷

This, and only this, will satisy them:

Cease to call them wrong, and join them in calling themselves right

Silence will not be tolerated

We must place ourselves avowedly with them

We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure

We must pull down our free state constitutions

Irrational Republican rage against Minnesota predated Trump and mainly driven by the fact that Minnesota enjoys one of the highest quality of life among all 50 states despite its location, primarily driven by decades of progressive policies.
Republican anger about Minnesota goes back before Trump. It’s the home of Hubert Humphrey and when Walter Mondale lost to Reagan, only his home state of Minnesota voted for him in 1984. Trump wanted to turn the screws on Walz after Harris picked him though

A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made.

In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’.

I have 0 regrets about that message.

This use of Grok isn't personal perversion but political terrorism: it's designed to silence women, make us retreat from public life.

Exemplified by the digital desecration of the body of Renee Good: someone prompted Grok to deepfake a bikini on her corpse.

"You're next" is the message to women.

One of the (several) problems with the demand that bystanders and targeted people be immediately compliant with ICE agents is that fleeing ICE is incredibly rational. They’re violent, piggish thugs who disappear some people into horrendous gulags and shoot others in the face.

Yesterday, ICE murdered an American citizen.

The only way to prevent future horrors is to prosecute and ensure full accountability up the entire chain of command.
