Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

amen to this.

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

eg bsky.app/profile/dani...

some people can have good intentions, be decent humans and solid representatives in normal times, and still simply not be built for moments like these. and those people should be nowhere near power right now sorry

Maybe it’s cuz I lived in the Twin Cities. Maybe it’s cuz I don’t think ICE should be allowed to execute people like they’re Judge Dredd, Maybe it’s cuz we are run by people who are openly coy about being fascists. But I’m really fucking angry.

We’ve seen this in Chicago. Now we’re seeing it across the country. ICE is a lawless secret police force and must be abolished. This is fucking horrific.

This is genuinely one of the most horrifying things I’ve read in a minute on this website.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

from what i’m seeing, it appears corporate press is treating trump’s takeover of greenland as an inevitability rather than the fever dream of a dictator

Our Sunday sales lately? Dogshit. What to do about it? Puzzling…puzzling…GADZOOKS! THAT IS IT! PUZZLES! AND ALCOHOL! PUZZLES AND ALCOHOL! This Sunday for $25 we’ll give you 2 drinks, 2 shots, AND a 252 souvenir Nisei puzzle to solve and keep! Other bigger puzzles to do for free too.

I genuinely expected them to show this and reference its "youthful, playful vigor."

In this Ohio diner, recidivism is a fake word they put on the ACT to make OSU's best football recruits "academically ineligible." But they do know this: The fact that so many pardoned J6-ers have been rearrested for other crimes is proof of woke police bias against patriots.

J6 prosecutor: “It’s more maddening than it is anything else. I spent years of my life watching the events of that day unfold in front of me again and again and again. I spoke with dozens and dozens of people who were there that day and who are still dealing with the trauma.”

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

every few weeks you guys show me a new and worse “dumb guy’s idea of a smart guy” but yarvin is still a standout in that arena

thread of responses from MLB clubs w/r/t Venezuelan players/staff

I wish people were spending some time on the sort of Court and Constitution reforms necessary to prevent another Trump or this Trump getting away with another January 6th. Because a better Attorney General ain’t gonna cut it.

"Their idea of improving this state is being a parrot for Trump. I'm not going anywhere. You can make your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body. I will fight this thing to the very end to make this state better. And the Q I think they need to decide is when will the guy in the WH resign?"

Trump incited the Jan. 6 insurrection, in hopes of interrupting certification of the 2020 election & destruction of ballots. He got nearly $60M in settlements from platforms for their removing his accounts in the days after. Bolsonaro incited a coup in Brazil and got 27 years in prison.

21000 days ago (July 9, 1968), the All-Star Game in the Year of the Pitcher fittingly finishes 1-0, the first All-Star Game ever to feature only one run. The National League scores once in the first inning, then it’s zeroes all the way down.

But Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t think Benetti is funny, guys! I will never forgive Reinsdorf for chasing away Jason Benetti.

sure sure you can have hegemony by trade, ideology and cultural influence, but does that make your dick hard?

i haven’t been posting as much lately because i find everything that’s going on to be overwhelming and i have trouble even mustering up anger over it tbh. not because it’s not enraging but rather because im afraid there’s no bottom once i start down that path and i need there to be one, you know?

ICE alerts are coming fast and furious today. Just sucks. I don't even know what 2000 agents would do in Minneapolis besides crash a lot of cars. At that level they'll be crashing into each other regularly.

“I do not defend Maduro. I point at him. But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.”

After 13 years on Lexapro I recently switched to Prozac and I'm like...oh...is *this* how I'm supposed to feel? Who knows if this feeling of calm will last but I'm sending this skeet to encourage you to maybe try another medication if you are on one and still miserable all the time. Love u guys.

Join us in wishing @michaelstipe.bsky.social a very happy birthday today! 🎉

Donald Trump’s unconstitutional military action in Venezuela is putting our troops in harm's way with no long-term strategy. The American people deserve a President focused on making their lives more affordable.

Those sorts of violations are not uncommon as small businesses like the centers are often challenged to meet all of the regs. This is the indication of a well run state program-regular visits with reports including accountability. All of which were publicly available to the right wing troll

This is crazy man. Bluesky is the only place I “promote” my newsletter or post my stories. I’ve also never done a public sale before because I hate promo. As a woman in sports I also have to fight the understandable survival instinct to make myself small every day. this is v v humbling!
