This is what ameirikkka has become.

The "fork in the road" memo that disenfranchised and devalued so many of our civil servants was sent one year ago today.

Minneapolis is NOT calming down...

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Kristi Noem is not bad at managing immigration enforcement, she is full-spectrum bad at all aspects of her job www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Seems like a good moment to go back in time to LA - when ICE and CBP were a "kinder, gentler" bunch of thugs. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Samuel is definitely worth a follow on substack. Haven't checked to see if he is here on Bluesky. substack.com/@bannedhisto...

Good thing that security guard was there. Omar was about to whoop that dude’s ass. 🤣

May we honor his memory by removing these motherfuckers.

Over the next nine months, pay attention to what Trump's friends in social media—Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison—choose to censor. In the past 48 hours, it's been information about Epstein and ICE: two topics critical to 2026 GOTV efforts for Democrats. These men work for the regime.

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Amazing that a San Francisco PD officer was actually struck by a vehicle of an actual alleged criminal and no one was shot and killed. Amazing.

Trump says gas prices are going down - they're actually up this week

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

⚡️ Mass Russian drone strike on Odesa kills 1, injures 27, more may be under rubble. Odesa was the hardest hit among Ukrainian cities overnight.

The shine remains off.

Here is a beautiful smattering of what regular ol' people are doing to help their neighbors and protect out country from the facsists within. substack.com/@terileigh/n...

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Accurate and disturbing.

We can actually predict polar vortex events now by monitoring Ted Cruz flight patterns

Perfection

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

A simple diy anti impunity protest idea from Europe, you can also swap out Trump for Netanyahu or Putin. #3E

Alex Pretti, the man shot and killed by a federal immigration agent on Saturday, was an American citizen and ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. Read more: https://cnn.it/4rjCSwF

So due process to be executed in the street is not brandishing a gun, and having it taken away before you're executed?

Rittenhouse was their hero. He brandished his weapon and killed two people. Alex was help a woman who had been physically assaulted. He did NOT brandish his weapon and somehow THIS IS THE DOMESTIC TERRORIST. Republicans are the biggest hypocrites to walk the earth.

Yesterday we learned that a racist Trump supporter assaulted a nonwhite Democratic congressman. And it’s not even a big story. Meanwhile, Republicans drone on about ‘left-wing political violence’.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

In his recent op-ed, Oleh Kotsyuba of Harvard University’s Ukrainian Research Institute compares the current protests in Minneapolis to Ukraine's 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity, noting similarities in both the staging and spirit of both events.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Jan. 25, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Well, isn't that convenient.

So they just keep showing the same gun for everyone they shoot?

I guess it's a thing now. Two nights in a row.
