We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Last post before I log off again this is extremely low stakes given the rest of the AI bullshit being inflicted upon us right now but there's going to be a big sports scandal in like 2 years because someone was using a chatbot to like evaluate draft prospects or

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

Exclusive: Detention Center Captives Are Throwing Lotion Bottles Wrapped With Notes to Organizers Outside Otay Mesa Facility ~ L.A.

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

thought this was a shitpost and oh jesus

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.

This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Holy shit. The Biden DOJ investigated Ilhan Omar???

Walz comparing the ICE raids to the Holocaust makes him going on that podcast and saying he hopes Tom Homan works with local law enforcement and does night raids so much more fucking horrifying, he's describing his desire for a quiet and orderly night Holocaust

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Y'all see what time it is?

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

What's more powerful than their guns?

This.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

the sooner they all realize this the better.

#ICE is LITERALLY in every corner of the Twin Cities right now. In case you don't know, here are the areas with the confirmed sightings as of 1/9/26 at 11:00pm: - Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan - Richfield/Bloomington - Midway/Frogtown - Como/Dale - East side/Maplewood - North Minneapolis - Shoreview Arden Hills - Blaine - Columbia Heights - Shakopee/Prior Lake - Inver Grove Heights - West St. Paul - South Saint Paul - Lakeville - Brooklyn Park/Brooklyn Center PLEASE stay safe! They are detaining and harassing US citizens so if you can help it, STAY HOME!

ICE is currently raiding an apartment complex near my home in Savage. Lots of children screaming. This is completely unnecessary. I'm certain these people being terrorized are hard working, law abiding individuals.

&S!#% &S!#% My brother's construction site was raided by ICE this morning and 6 people were taken (they came after he left to a new site so he didn't get taken, but some of the crew did). MN companies need to do a better job at protecting their employees. They know ICE is present visibily in the Twin Cities so they need to not send their employees to work until ICE ain't roaming the streets!! &$!#% &S!#%

Ice is on 24th right by the resource center just started beating on someone for being under a blanket @highlight And if you question me saying this I witnessed it with my own eyes! They headed Southeast. White Jeep wagoneer grayish blue I think Toyota minivan

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good
at the site of her murder

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Screen shot from the show Andor. Someone says to Mon Mothma “They [meaning the Empire] don’t even bother to lie badly anymore.” Mon replies “I suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

This one is resonating today. #Andor

I am begging you, as an American, to boycott the Olympics, boycott the World Cup and sanction us

yall wanna still talk about how the dems would never support this?

In 2026 we're not sharing grifters to dunk on them. We're not spreading hate on the skyline in order to make a point about that hate. We're not quote skeeting small accounts with bad takes. We're just not gonna promote hostile stupid thought to our friends

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

This is disgraceful. They should be at home with their families. Instead, Trump is forcing them to walk around in the cold for his fascist national security theater. DC is absolutely dead this time of year. There’s nobody here to “terrorize.” Just pathetic all around.
