Since 9 11 I have been warning people to familiarize themselves with this definition specifically to avoid government actors using it to label any of their enemies.
Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

You know how they immediately started digging deep into Alex Pretti's past to somehow justify his murder? They know that we'll do the same thing to those shooters and that we'll find a lot worse than a busted tail light.
This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Personally, I don't want Noem fired. They're going to try and scapegoat her and send her out with all the sink of Minneapolis on her. I want a thorough investigation into all of the orders that were given and how they were carried out, and everyone in a position of responsibility put in jail.

This seals it. The guys who are working for ICE have less training than someone who has binged a few episodes of Law and Order.

The Ecuadorian government said a US ICE agent attempted to enter its consulate in Minneapolis, prompting it to send a formal protest note to US authorities. CNN has reached out to both the State Department and ICE for comment. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/3M3Dfw2

In simplest terms, One Battle After Another is a good film and sometimes it's beautiful, but it didn't give me much to think about except for the nature of resistance. Sinners gave me a lot more to think about and was just beautiful on top.

After all the people I saw trashing Star Fleet Academy online, I was waiting to have one of the episodes not be great. Still waiting.

Hilarious. You buy a car for certain features, use those features for a while and then have the people who no longer own that car revoke those features unless you pay $100 a month extra.

Remember when EVs were supposed to save the consumer money on upkeep?

We all know what Twitter turned into, but it's important to remember what it was before Musk. Sure there were toxic elements but there was also Gail and a few other people like her who had an uncanny ability to mobilize the good elements to do good things in the real world. Maybe bsky can do that.
I was thinking about my favorite Twitter moment and it was definitely after the George Floyd murder, I started a pop-up charity for Black causes where comics creators donated art and more. We raised over $400,000. Not one cent for admin, all volunteer.

I declare "Give Back to @gailsimone.bsky.social Day."

Gail, as you reskeet this: what is the favorite thing you did in a comic that is only possible in a comics medium?

Fans: what is your favorite Gail moment (socials and or comics) and why?

If your supervisor shows you a physical memo ordering you to break the law, you do not follow it. You ask for a written copy (and then hopefully pass it on to journalists). The alternative is that you're breaking the law and they're the only ones with their asses covered.
This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.

This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Stop worrying about being thin. Worry about being healthy. Stop worrying about being a man. Worry about being an adult.
Stop worrying about being loved. Worry about being kind.

One of the lessons here is that if you elect leaders who will condone genocide from their allies, you should not be surprised when those leaders turn out to be monsters themselves. You should not be surprised when you have to pay a price for that.

Beware!

You may have seen posts about Ukraine sharing fake strategic information to the US and this information being subsequently used by Russia

- LCI is a highly credible source (it is TF1's news channel)
- But no such claim has been made during the segment when they were supposed to be made
Confirmed that LCI highly credible & no such claim. The story is mainly about France replacing U.S. in providing intelligence support to Ukraine and what are France’s capabilities. If they had proof that US relays intelligence to Russia that would be the story.

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

Since their founding, the Black Panthers have understood what the fight was about and how to fight it. They have been in this fight since before most of us were born. Listen to them. Follow them.

Imagine if 15 Israelis had died in Tel Aviv yesterday.

Imagine the MSM and the political outcry.

Israel killed 15 people in Gaza yesterday including women & children - not a f*kiN word.
🔴 Israel killed up to 15 people in Gaza yesterday, including women and children, wiping out entire families. The pretext was an alleged clash with fighters in western Rafah 2 days ago...

Follow the thread below for the sequence Israel itself laid out for the killings it carried out yesterday: 🧵

ICE Goon: But we're still allowed to shoot 'em, right?
A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.
