Hey Buffalo! Write in @joshbunting.bsky.social for No Really We Shouldn't Have A Sheriff! Really! We should see if he can get in the results! It beats any other voting option for that position, so fuck it!

I'm still shook hearing that man tell me the Taliban killed his family and he had to leave Afghanistan after it fell but now he's thinking about going back because things are too expensive here...

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country

There are ten times as many home health aides in the US as there are miners

No one wants to hear your damn dissertation about why you are right but everyone else is ridiculous because they aren't taking your preferred line of action. YOU DO IT and stop writing fucking social media dissertations.

if you want to defend the working class? buy out a street vendor’s cart so they don’t have to choose between their income or kidnapping by ICE

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

and there it is

That very MUNDANE action that you don't take because you are too busy fantasizing about being a superhero instead would actually DO something for someone. Your fantasy does not.

I got into a conversation with one woman on the bus who told me that she didn't know that there was even a number for her to call or that there was a NYC ICE Watch hotline. She said that she was going to print out the zine and get it out to folks at her Church.

Asked my spouse if she wanted me to get her some soda, and she said sure. I asked if she wanted ice, and she replied "No, because #FuckICE"

Budapest is turning out with massive crowds for freedom against Orban's illiberalism today. At last!!

p.s. always remember to park your URL before announcing your "official launch" hotgirlsforcuomo.com

grumble, grumble

Spotify customer service is immediately ending conversations if you ask about them airing ICE advertisements on the platform. Cancel your Spotify subscription. #BoycottSpotify

I started posting on reddit and immediately regretted it Apparently wanting to start well above the living wage for a job that requires a degree and a postgrad qualification is being "entitled". No wonder no one in this country can get paid decently

Huh! Look at this! How inspiring! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

🙋🏿‍♂️I have some words! It's easier to see the destruction of physical institutions than organizational ones. If you picture the whole building being bulldozed, that's what we did to the USAID org. We've also destroyed our relationships with our allies, our foreign trade position, and the rule of law

Suck it up ranchers. He just saved your asses. Or something…

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Tish James launched an online portal for New Yorkers to submit photos and videos of ICE activity.

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives. ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal." As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.

Updating my LEGO White House

It is likely that by the end of the year Trump will draft an executive order stating that he is head of the Christian church and will require a portrait of himself to be hung in every Church in America

If you would like to support some of the families of people who have been abducted by ICE in my area during the recent federal attacks on our community that I've written about, local organizers have put together this trusted list of crowd funds.

Hi. Friendly reminder today as ICE is terrorizing multiple cities across the country at an accelerating pace— Many of us are trying to get info out to locals in our areas *fast.* We do not always have time to explain neighborhoods/intersections to people thousands of miles away.

American farmers be like, “this is what I voted for”. 🥴

Great time to remind folks that #Buffalo has an inexpensive tool library. thetoollibrary.org

I’m grateful that Zohran Mamdani speaks up for women who have been subjected to sexual harassment on the job, punished for reporting it through invasive litigation tactics, and silenced through defamation lawsuits.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free. And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.

Enough time has passed that I can definitively say that the “everyone is 12 now” post is THE load bearing post of Bluesky. The hall of famer Bluesky post. It commands respect even from Bluesky skeptics and haters

So White House construction companies: ACECO (demolition): Deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles, took down their website with contact information entirely Clark Construction (construction): Limiting Insta comments and hiding or deleting critical ones. Do these companies think we'll all forget?

"Part of the reason Argentine activists can be so public is that their policing infrastructure is less well resourced than it is here in the United States." - #Defund & Abolition are also a reproductive justice issue... lareviewofbooks.org/article/pill...

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

Been feeling this as this all plays out. Anyone who has lost standards in exchange for the naked pursuit of power is dangerous, and needs to be cut out before their rot spreads. Looking at you, Pod Save.

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

Americans need to move past "but he's not allowed to do that!" He knows. They all know. They don't care.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

The fact that AIPAC won’t endorse me is an endorsement in and of itself.

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active. Shared with permission—rapid response whistle team at Bryn Mawr & Broadway this morning.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

what will remain of the U.S. public sector is prison guards, ICE violence workers, soldiers and cops.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
