Fuck that's powerful.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

To commentate Valentine’s Day, community members and Recovery Bike Shop help put hearts along central at spots where our community members were taken. In the last 3 months at least 38 people have been taken around central Ave.

The unspeakable evil. I wish I could manifest the thoughts I’m having now about the weapon makers and sellers and investors and the people who use them.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

I just realized that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio could easily turn that halftime show into a banging Broadway musical. That would be fucking amazing. Make it a happy ending East Coast and West Coast Puerto Rico love story. Family reunion, wedding, lots of queer cousins! It has it all!

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

I was about to mock them along with everyone else, but then I thought about what an undeniable temptation to tamper with some food there would be if I were cooking for or serving certain people.

incredible that you guys laid off your fucking war correspondents so you could report on the mid-level real estate market in New York City. Truly, this is the kind of thing that will drag the Post out of the trash pit.

In 1986 I was a year from graduating college, pretty newly out but very out and proud, and IIRC my gf and I drove three hours to see "Desert Hearts" in Atlanta. It's hard to explain how groundbreaking it was.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

"We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over," Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. "In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution."

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

Wait, so if they have spare FBI officers available to raid the Fulton County Election Hub, I can only imagine that the Epstein files are finally redacted and ready for release. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

4) And they STILL haven’t released the Epstein files.

Now, riddle me this: how does a FedGov created by a Constitution ever outgrow that Constitution? Of course, it can’t. So he’s saying that there is no FedGov, and there is no LocalGov, there is only 🍆🥔. IOW, HE JUST TOOK ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS AWAY.

Well, instead of respecting the core of federalism, he’s shitting on everything everywhere all at once. Every gd thing in this exec order is a full frontal violation of the Constitution based on easily disposable lies and bogus law.

E.g., in CA, and everywhere else, that includes power to hire and deploy public safety personnel, to plan and administer public infrastructure, and to enact zoning and building codes and to guarantee compliance whether he likes it or not.

E.g., in MN, and everywhere else, that includes power to investigate homicides, no matter who did them.

Our Federal government was created by our State governments. Those state governments agreed to share some powers and to reserve others. Among the ones they reserved is what we call the general police power. It’s the power to regulate, legislate, and enforce all matters not explicitly ceded to FedGov

H/t to a fellow Alt for sharing this (you know who you are 😉) FedGov has declared itself exempt from the Constitution, all of it, basically. Let me walk you through this so you’ll understand all the ways this is a direct attack on every American. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

🔥 @RepWesleyBell: "I don't care if my mother is in the Epstein files, we need to see 100% of the Epstein files to ensure that we are doing right by these victims."

I did great at my work conference in Nashville but now have a sore throat, coughing, and low fever. I brought anti-bacterial soap and a nail brush to evade norovirus, and used it. I did have to talk to a lot of people unmasked, but usually for less than a minute. Staying at home for now.

FWIW if Tim Walz was on whatever they call MSNBC now and said "The New York Times is printing lies about what happened in Minneapolis and I urge you to unsubscribe" a handful of the very specific people who actually care about somebody saying something like that would hear it

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

I had to click on this because it really should read, “How to dress like a sapphic age-gap romance MC, probably written by Harper Bliss.” Was disappointed to be faced w a 32 question profiler. But happy you could select gender other than m/f.

Funny the White House didn't research the photographer. Who I am kidding, due diligence from these clowns? lol. Anyway. Vanity Fair wasn't a hit piece, that's how Christopher Anderson photographs his subjects. Not his fault the Trump Admin is fugly inside & out. nymag.com/news/politic...

I love city winter.

I can hear acorns hitting rooftops, sheds, cars, traveling down bouncing through leaves and limbs all over the neighborhood. There’s not even a breeze. Just a bounty of acorns.

For more on Rev. Woolf, who appears to have been arrested today: he published an editorial with @rns.org literally this week titled “Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE” —> religionnews.com/2025/11/13/w...

I will admit I peed myself a little at beekaki.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Just finished listening to this and … wow. What a beautifully crafted romcom that is so much more than just getting in your feels. I cried more than once, some happy and some sad tears. The narrator is perfect. It whips you right into the moment in the first scene and it took me on the best ride.

Outkast and CHaRM are holding an electronics recycling drive in my hood today to celebrate the 25th anniv of Stankonia!

The comments to this article are also interesting

Ms Rachel just called Andrew Cuomo a raggedy old racist bitch

Attorney General Andrea Campbell and 21 other state attorneys general filed suit against the Trump administration for “unlawfully” suspending SNAP payments set to run out Nov. 1 amid the ongoing government shutdown, officials said.

This is exactly the kind of post that taught me how to dig to the beginning of a thread on Bluesky.

Excellent breakdown thread.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.
