*whispers* Homan isn’t gonna do shiiiiiit

It’s easy for the administration to sell the lies because it’s simply too hard for people to believe that ICE or the police could do this. It took a mother load of effort to get them to change course. Proud of the opposition.

Anyone who’s been in a nursing home recently and who has two eyes can see this was a desperately needed rule. Is this “draining the swamp”?

Trump’s little lemmings have been on here for some time. Be careful, look at past comment and reply history before engaging. All some people care about is the reach they think they’ll get from interacting with you, not realizing Bluesky doesn’t work quite like other rage bait platforms.

“Get another job”, right? It’s that easy, isn’t it? Just quit, find another that very day?

it's not actually military service, fellas, you can just quit

Important to remember here that historically Patel has been more interested in making waves online than actual investigations. He’s always in a hurry to publish any good rumor and gets mad when people point out those pesky facts and reality.

I love that Bluesky has such a robust legal-journalistic culture now that we have at least three people live-posting this court hearing on the Minneapolis ICE deployment! Follow @klasfeldreports.com @chrisgeidner.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social and no doubt others for the latest

And yet people who can’t find their way out of a paper bag will see this as a criminal conspiracy

“The Negro’s great stumbling block… is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice.”

I fear that child abuse may never get the serious attention it deserves in large part because people tend to, have to think that abusers can only be *other* people. Facing the reality that abusers are usually people close to them is too scary. So they overlook things like this.

The guy who tried to overturn a whole election and subvert the Constitution wants people to think this is all just about enforcing borders and “the law”. And people eat that shit up happily

Treating ICE like Putin’s supporters talk about him: they cannot be stopped, but merely placated. Like the weather.

They’re comfortably within their own bubbles.

As I recall, Vietnam was the first really televised war, and public reaction to the footage helped galvanize opposition to the war in the US

When I was a teenager in the 90s the existence of "videos of people dying" was the stuff of urban legends or the supposed content of lurid, hard-to-see underground movies like "Faces of Death." They weren't the main focus of national news for weeks at a time.

Yep

Because the guy from the infomercials would be involved. Of course.

The same antigovernment types that laugh off “alphabet soup agencies” nod sagaciously as the government feeds them shit. Mmm mmm good!

With so many wins under their belt, ICE should play for the Bears 😏

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Abra-abracadabra, gonna reach out and grab ya…

My fear is that Bovino knows the public too well. They may not even care much about the video and just take him at his word to wipe their hands of the thing. It’s looking like not, all the opposition right now raises my bar for humanity a bit. Maybe reality will shine through.

My fear is that people get desensitized to this and it stops becoming news. They’re too desensitized already.

It goes back to him talking about veterans as “losers” and “suckers”. He can’t grasp the concept of service above self. It’s literally beyond his mental capacity. His whole life has been transactional, what can he get out of others?

A paywall. If I wanted to pay someone to humiliate themselves, I already have ways to do that. Never in my life could I see prostrating myself for *any* politician.

Shitty people feel very discomfited by the mention of historical facts, not the facts themselves.

Did anyone seriously think this was just about “too many vaccines” or “vaccine hesitancy”, as opposed to rolling back decades of progress because feelings?

Viola Liuzzo (1925-1965), mother of five, murdered by Klan members while she was transporting civil rights workers

Worth remembering here that Gavin platformed one of the major architects of January 6th, with the rationale that more “nuance” is needed

We are living in a South Park simulation. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are our gods now.

If Trump’s fans didn’t have situational ethics, they wouldn’t have ethics at all

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500 if he's not there, try: 1100 South Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach, FL 33480

Probably important to remember here that in many areas education on these past atrocities is either very minimal or nonexistent

Would someone be kind enough to tell me where exactly MAGA is getting this idea that bringing up Clinton every time we talk about Trump and the Epstein files is some kind of “gotcha”? Prosecute bold him and Hillary for all I care. It’s not my fault that they self-flagellate for Trump.

The cruelty is the point

I keep saying, sociopathy is a requirement for this administration

All that and more, and yet it’s just a Sunday

Not sufficiently bending the knee

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.

So the “other perspective” that Bari deemed necessary for a “full” investigative story, didn’t even want to participate themselves. *slow clap*

There will never be a low too low for Trump’s supporters at this point. Being publicly berated by a child sex trafficker facilitator as “stupid” after he made it a whole thing to prosecute Epstein’s associates, that’s a betrayal few if any will admit to. It’s humiliating and makes them look bad.

You mean to tell me Derek isn’t the impartial observer of Presidential norms he tries portray himself as? I’m just so shocked.

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

He’s going to keep asking for more. Placating isn’t really working.

For my own sanity, I have to believe that some people just don’t know all this is happening. I have to believe that there’s more rational-minded people out there.

The guy who protected a child abuser, investigating the genitalia of random kids for “safety” and “welfare” reasons. Totally legit.

The ethnic cleansing should’ve been obvious a long time ago
