@ross.house.gov your constituents are watching.

The silence from the snake-flag crowd is deafening.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

state-sponsored child trafficking

Obviously true. The Greenland thing is so unpopular even with the GOP base - it gives them an out if they'd rather have Vance now.

I haven't seen leadership like this since McClellan.

ICE detention centers are rapidly becoming extermination camps. Yet another layer of depravity from this truly evil government.

This is kind of funny when it plays out in real time on bluesky, ends with everyone safe, and most importantly is not a heavy-handed metaphor for the American presidency.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

The civility police lose their minds when you accurately describe a racist person as a “racist” but this is nothing. Imagine if a Democrat talked about red states like this.

Nothing describes the far Right's racist pathology like someone using the phrase "Somali sympathizer" like it's some kind of epithet

There needs to be far, far more shaming for people helping this administration's terror campaign. Whether in the courts, as ICE agents, or working on the Project 2025 policy side - don't touch them, but hound them, scream at them, and make sure they feel the fear they're inflicting on Americans.

Sad Nazi is sad. Everyone else is happy.

It's the kind of thing that would be reserved for the Christoph Waltz character in a movie.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

‘Roger Fuckebythenavele’ from Chester County Court Plea Rolls, 1310. He was supposed to be arrested, but could not be found. Over the next year he would be named in the records 6 more times, eventually named an outlaw. I HAVE SO MANY Qs, ROGER FUCKBYTHENAVEL. (Best not to have answers, prolly.)

It has been a joy to watch Denise every week for the past 8 years. Treat her well, Liverpool. We will miss you, Sully.

Peter Pomerantsev called his book about the information environment of Putin's Russia "Nothing is True & Everything is Possible" to convey how important turning it into an unnavigable morass of lies was to consolidating autocracy there, precisely because it made cynicism the main rational response

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point. When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

It's definitely Scarry out there

Probably the most comprehensive description of all the facts of the shooting as we know them.

*taps sign* @ross.house.gov

There are shitty people on the left too, but I can't even imagine the worst leftists doing something like this. Right-wingers are a special brand of horrible.

It's time. We are beyond finding a compromise with this.

JFC. Simply by not burning down the Whipple building, the people of Minneapolis showed more restraint than any ICE officer has ever shown in his life.

I feel like Sarah is getting at an important truth about our chattering classes placing more importance on language games than the facts and concepts communicated by language. "How do you feel about the president being called a pedo protector," not "How do you feel about him protecting pedophiles."

fucking cowards

Voting is a strategic act, not a moral one. Stop acting like you're endorsing everything a candidate stands for if you vote for them. Vote for the best available option and work to move public opinion.

"If you can keep your head while those about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you" - Rudyard Kipling, literally the bard of British imperial masculinity "Fucking bitch" - Jonathan Ross, after executing a mom who was insufficiently deferential

I am imploring people to stop saying we won't have midterms. Trump can't cancel them. States run their elections, not the White House. Assuming we'll never have a say in who governs us again is spreading authoritarian propaganda and panic. Don't wallow in despair, find a candidate to support.

This feels like a @socialistdogmom.bsky.social greatest hits tweet

There are literally zero Jews who would ever be OK with a government having a list of Jews. That has never turned out well for us.

That's the fucking problem, Mike. An organization designed to abduct people while operating outside the Constitution should. not. exist.

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

There is of course no obstructing occurring, just filming and mockery

I wrote about Renee Good, Venezuela, Greenland, and what it means to be a human being. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is extremely important to note that no obstructing is actually happening. They’re mad about DOCUMENTING and INSULTING.

Right. Putin wants this because a) Greenland is unimportant to him and b) he wants the precedent of powerful countries taking over everything in their neighborhood so he can justify his Ukraine war and probably a future one in the Baltics.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

These are LEGAL immigrants.

so, turns out that shifting the washington post rightward did absolutely nothing to protect them

This visibly gets to him so people should keep doing it.

This from the people who wanted us to think that shoplifting in San Francisco was the end of Western civilization.

ICE agents are fucking stealing and selling peoples’ PHONES

In this video agents tell a woman to move, which she starts to do and then stops because a white haired woman was crossing the street (in a cross walk!) in front her. They then reach into her car making it unsafe (to them) for her to drive. It's honestly impossible to comply with these people.

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

Saving lives is THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF FIGHTING AIR POLLUTION

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny - health care subsidies - seeing pronouns in an email - being suspended from a social media platform - pride month - baking a cake for a same sex wedding - legal rulings against donald trump - EV benchmarks

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
