The gulf is infested with sea snakes if you aren’t aware. If my sailors are jumping off the goddamn ship into sea snake infested waters it’s time to go. They can’t even do a port call, half those sailors ain’t coming back on board

Aside from the obvious human catastrophe here…people think nuclear carriers can just stay at sea indefinitely and…while that’s almost true in THEORY, machines break. especially in salt water, oxygen and heat. It’s not meant to do this, and will be in dry dock for ages eventually.

"The officer feared for his life." Is so funny to me, because as a woman, if I shot a man in the face every time l've felt afraid, the streets would be lined with bodies.

The man who shot and killed that woman in Minneapolis today had the word "police" on his chest. But these ICE agents are not police. We don't have a national police force. Policing is state and local in the US. "Police" implies local origins, understandings, connection, and accountability. 1/

With news of yet another DHS shooting breaking, a reminder that DHS’s initial statements should not be trusted without further verification, given previous post-shooting statements which crumbled under further investigation. In addition, be wary of short context-free video clips shared virally.

EMERGENCY RALLY IN RESPONSE TO ICE KILLING MINNEAPOLIS PROTESTER

TODAY, 6PM, FOLEY SQUARE

January 7, 2026

HANDS OFF NEW YORK CITY STATEMENT


Murad Awawdeh, President and CEO of New York Immigration Coalition and spokesperson for Hands Off NYC, released the following statement: 

“Today’s news from Minneapolis is a tragedy and marks a violent escalation in ICE’s tactics and the state’s repression of political dissidents. Let’s be very clear: ICE and the federal agents are the ones sowing chaos and violence in our cities — and are now killing people who oppose their fascist abduction program.

“This tragedy did not happen in a vacuum. It is the direct and predictable result of a federal agency that has been allowed to operate with impunity, secrecy, and unchecked force. When masked, armed agents are unleashed on communities with no accountability, people die. The responsibility for this violence lies with the federal government and the political leaders who continue to enable ICE’s terror campaign, 

“We stand in solidarity with rapid responders in Minneapolis and the communities across the country who are choosing to build a movement grounded in love, solidarity, and unity.” 


In Solidarity,

Hands Off NYC

The video of Vought talking about how glorious oranges is an imperfect instrument (people laugh 😒) just underscores how smug & arrogant these people are: they clearly think they have the direct line to God, who, amazingly, tells them everything they want to hear & justifies their every whim.

ABC has a lot of talent working on shows and broadcasts who are the only reason anyone watches them. Maybe they all need to step the fuck up. I hear Dennis Miller is available. And Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio too. It's not like they can't find anyone else to fill up their programming.

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.
The changes made by Elon's coders are focused on "creating new paths to block payments and possibly leave less visibility into what has been blocked."

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which disburses funds to PBS and NPR stations, gets $535 million a year in federal funding. So any official who seriously wanted to achieve billions in cost savings would start elsewhere – like the $874 billion spent on national defense.

Senator Susan Collins is supporting Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
"After extensive consideration of her nomination, I will support Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence. As one of the principal authors of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 that established this coordinating position, I understand the critical role the DNI plays in the Intelligence Community. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, however, has become far larger than it was designed to be, and Ms. Gabbard shares my vision of returning the agency to its intended size. In response to my questions during our discussion in my office and at the open hearing, as well as through her explanation at the closed hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Ms. Gabbard addressed my concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden. I look forward to working with Ms. Gabbard to strengthen our national security."
