- here is the video version of this post, with a few other thoughts as well. youtu.be/wBS13rx-M7s
- the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
- friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

- over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

View full threadthis is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
- we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

- Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.
- i think standing too close to ICE is what has been getting people killed
- his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...
- Feels like a weird time to post about this but I wanted to highlight something: So dang proud of the fact that NFL Live is up nearly *50%* with women. We have consistently grown our female audience since relaunching the show five years ago. Football is for everyone.
- 🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

View full threadThose indicators are the difference between “the vehicle moved” and “the vehicle was used as the weapon.” If they are not present, certainty about intent is not analysis, it is narrative management. 6/7
- So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

- If your service isn't reliably as fast or faster than driving, you're DOA in auto-dependent North America. There are exceptions to every rule, but transit planning would have had a far better last 30 years with that principle at its core.

- for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.
- 2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.
- It’s been quite a year! I’ve spent at least 20 hours/week organizing to make my resource-rich coastal hometown more equitable. This on top of 3rd year of med school was quite a balancing act. Listen to our 2025 wins. Here’s to a 2026 with less fighting of NIMBY cities and more progress & champions.
- In Episode 2: 2025 Recap, @ctruman.bsky.social, @thewrongalex.bsky.social, @briannaje.bsky.social, & @ljwalsh.bsky.social recap the year’s organizing wins in housing, transit, & mobility in #SouthBayLA. Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... Pod Index: podcastindex.org/podcast/7634...
- wholesome. my parents will now finally understand why I run around doing all this advocacy stuff.
