- Reposted by amber nelsonit’s true that manic consumer culture buying sprees probably point to a gnawing fear of engaging the spirit, whose demands are rigorous and whose rewards would require us to acknowledge our eternal indwelling self-worth, but on the other hand did you see how much cool stuff I have

They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

- Reposted by amber nelsonI don’t have a law degree. I only covered death for 10.5 years as a news reporter. So, someone in crim law please let me know otherwise, but I’m pretty sure if: 1) someone is pinned; and 2) his gun is taken away from him; that *then* shooting him is at least a second-degree murder charge.

- Reposted by amber nelsonThere is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy
- Reposted by amber nelsonThis is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
- Reposted by amber nelsonThere’s a straight line from "Sharpiegate" to Karoline Leavitt denying that Trump accidentally referenced Iceland when he meant Greenland. We’re apparently supposed to see Trump as infallible, so even minor and inconsequential slip-ups must be denied in Orwellian fashion. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

- Reposted by amber nelsonBen Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there. When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...
- Reposted by amber nelsonSEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

- NEW: DANISH FORCES ARE MANDATED TO FIRE BACK IF U.S. ATTACKS GREENLAND Trump says Greenland is defended by dog sleds (true). But under royal decree, Denmark’s small military presence must put up a fight if attacked. theintercept.com/2026/01/14/t...
- Some cliche story beats aside, Starfleet Academy is off to a good start. Reminds me of DS9. Less explosions, more philosophy. Negotiations for rebuilding the Federation feel like the final scenes from Enterprise we were denied.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

- Reposted by amber nelsonOnce again, Congress has vigorously asserted itself in its official capacity to act as an elected suggestion box. The majority isn't serving as a co-equal branch of government. It's just a 200-something-member presidential rewards card as those members each collect six-digit salaries for shrugging.
