Can't be Whiskey Friday fast enough.

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

you love to see it there’s simply no viable way through this that does not involve prosecutions

Sam Raimi tell us how to make the perfect mixture for fake blood. “A good thick mix of caramel syrup, red food coloring, a little blue to give it that unaerated look, and a bit of coffee to make it dark... I don’t mean to brag but hello, I’m here, I know how to throw blood.”

We will crush the skulls of our enemies beneath our boots and hear the lamentations of their women. <loses humiliatingly> Look, I think it’s time to turn down rhe temperature a little. Why are you so divisive?

i wish mr. bovino an unremarkable retirement right up until inauguration day 2029, which is when i hope the tribunals start

the optics of who they kill shouldn’t matter as much as they do but they are important and in Alex Pretti they have killed someone that they simply cannot successfully “he was no angel” history has turned on less

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is: 1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which 2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that 3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

IL congresswoman Delia Ramirez addressing now the crowd as well, calling attendees freedom fighters. Just to give a sense of scale for how many people are out here in the snow and cold, this is just the outer fringe of one half of a block of Congress Plaza, which is completely full.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

TikTok’s transition to Trumpist ownership is apparently a mess. The TikTok subreddit is full of posts complaining about nothing working and people deleting their accounts. www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

This is so smart of the New York Public Library.

The nurses are pissed

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

there we go

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

This is the way. Any 2028 Dem candidates need to start saying that on Day One: (1) all ICE agents fired; (2) pensions/benefits defunded; (3) forced to pay backpay as restitution to victims; and (4) only way to avoid prison is to become a cooperating informant

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

this is worth watching in full Seth Moulton figured it out! Seth Moulton! none of the rest of them have any excuse

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

just thinking again about how MAGA’s attempt to suppress all criticism of Charlie Kirk created a backlash so intense that he is now probably the most abjectly Internet-defiled person in human history

incredible work by the Forward who found the one Jew in Greenland so they could work the Jewish angle on the Greenland story (spoiler alert: he does not want Trump to take over Greenland)

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

Medieval Scribe Keeps Forgetting ‘Whence/Whither’ Rule

As someone who volunteers in local Democratic politics I want to once again remind the Bluesky community that the Democratic base is your friend, and LIGHT YEARS ahead of the national party leaders on literally every issue

I do love the musical stylings of Malort & Savior.

NO

the median voter wants no taxes & no debt but still healthcare & pensions, they want clean energy, clean water, cheap beef, & cheap gas, & they want a bruising take-no-prisoners military that embraces lesbians & furries & single moms without threatening anyone's masculinity

Verbal assault or, as it's legally known, "not assault"

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

They are kidnapping non-white people, regardless of status only to sort them out later, often not even taking them to the federal building but abandoning them beaten miles from where they were. And they are brutalizing witnesses, most of whom are white citizens who only have whistles and phones.

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.
