WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

The flopsweat desperation of an administration that can feel the walls closing in, just smashing and grabbing everything they can before the reckoning comes.
And it's coming in one form or another -- the Epstein Files, Trump's death spiral, maybe just the midterm elections. And they all know it.

I don't know about all of you, but I am finding it difficult to process Venezuela, Greenland, Minneapolis, and the Fed all at once.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Bro, they are closing schools because teachers need time to make virtual options for non-white students because lawless federal paramilitaries are terrorizing them.

Here's what it looks like if you put all the ICE shootings I know of from the last year on a map. For no particular reason other than that it was just handy, I used the 2024 Presidential election map.

LLMs promised to *increase* knowledge. What actually happens is the opposite. We cannot trust any information any more. Our beliefs become harder to justify & truth harder to establish. So we end up with LLMs destroying trust in knowledge - a serious threat to modern society & the good life.
This Maccabi Tel Aviv/policing/AI story is wild!
Often it’s not the use of AI, per se, that’s the problem.
It’s the uncritical acceptance of the stuff it churns out.
YOU HAVE TO FACT CHECK AGAINST ORIGINAL SOURCES.

This should be a national shutdown
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Fuck Target.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
