You really can’t make this shit up. Live ammunition detonates over I-5 and damages CHP vehicle being used for Vance security at Pendleton. This, after the VP mocked Newsom’s safety concerns about live rounds being shot across the nation’s busiest highway. Haven’t seen a WH reply since.

'An archive is the raw material of history... Furthermore, if that archive is the archive of the BBC – the British Broadcasting Corporation, paid for by you and me over the last century – it belongs to us. It is our history.' @ericawgnr.bsky.social on BBC restricting access to its written archives.

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are. You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends. We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process

Tho tbh "a guy whose songs said the capitalist system was hopelessly corrupt and should be violently overthrown becomes a Wellness Influencer" makes perfect sense in the same way "the logical endpoint of punk rock ideology is becoming a repo man" does

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

honestly, I do wish social media would allow you to just fucking block all of a particular sport. *looks around at other complaints* "Damn I really wish people could just show me basic dignity and respect as a human" well, this feels very invalidating to my sportsball complaints.

You’re on social media but think you’re above being targeted with and impacted by propaganda 🥲

@govpritzker.illinois.gov protect your resident’s right to peacefully protest dammit!

State troopers are paid and controlled by the Governor and legislature. It’s time for Pritzker to yank the funding of State Troopers in IL to do any activity in support of ICE. Why the hell is any state entity working with ICE?

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have To say Don’t bait them. pay them DUST. Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target . In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

Zoom should be available for every court proceeding, every time, everywhere. Courts are already too opaque and inaccessible, and expecting people to drop everything and show up to sit for hours is just ritualistic for its own sake and effectively prevents poor and disabled people from participating.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

My friend is a pastor in Buffalo. Their pride flag keeps getting stolen.

Is Pritzker’s ISP attack peaceful protesting trending yet? How about: Illinois PD attempt to brain Congressional Candidate? Pritzker = Oligarch = Enemy

Pritzker has unconditionally endorsed State Police as they beat the shit out of anti-ICE protesters Yet another Tough Talking Wealthy White Guy fails us, who could’ve predicted

Absolute queen

Folks on the right scream about how their tax dollars being used for social programs is “theft” That they do not “consent” to helping the disabled, the homeless or the poor Yet when thousands of people in Arizona are being taxed without representation because Grijalva can’t get sworn in? Crickets

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

He's stuck in a racist driven time warp of his own choosing and always has been. WASPs at the top of the American social hierarchy; women, non-white people, and non-Christians are relegated to his limited trope-driven warped mindset. Pritzker is right. www.rawstory.com/jb-pritzker-...

I am heartbroken to learn that the remains of 14yr old Samuel Bird have been found. My heart is with his mother, his family, friends, and community. No family should ever have to endure this kind of pain. Rest in peace, Samuel.

Pritzker is unsurprisingly using Illinois paramilitary forces to attack the public instead of to protect the public. His actions matter more than his words. Why should we care if ICE terrorizes the Chicago public if he's just willing to do it himself?

It’s so frustrating to watch Pritzker say this why he’s allowing the state police under this command to enforce Trump’s agenda. He may be content to sit on his hands for the next few years, but his constituents increasingly are not, and he’s failing them. Getting out of the way is his best option.

This is why I'm not currently a Pritzker stan. These are the guys he sent and isn't properly overseeing

Do you ever ask yourself why Pritzker hasn’t told the Illinois State Troopers to stand down?

As Pritzker said, they don't need the national guard here - home grown troopers are perfectly happy to beat, brutalize and suppress protesters, clergy, and people of conscience!

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

I keep seeing people talking about how one day ICE is going to face their own Nuremberg trials. I've got some bad news for y'all about the actual Nuremberg trials.

Another example of 'get in where you can get in' and everyone can do something of use... blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/16/a...

Pritzker should absolutely say something here, but we’re going to see these scenes play out across the country, and the Democratic Party in general needs to come up with a response that doesn’t throw the people they’re encouraging to take the streets under the bus.

In our regressive/repressed culture, it's the MOST important thing for men to do. Patriarchy is bad for EVERYONE.

I've been laughing at this for days now. I think it might be the funniest post on Bluesky

We’re back at the Broadview Processing Center protesting ICE this morning. The good news? They tore down the unlawful fence we demanded come down. The bad news? We’re still lacking accountability, transparency, and our First Amendment rights. Join us today at 1930 Beach Street. See you soon.

wildest thing about the Young Republican Group Chat is how many of those fuckers are over 30 like yea 14yo Black kid : HE MIGHT HAVE HAD A GUN 35yo republican operative talking about slaves and gas chambers : HE'S JUST A CHILD

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

When you type "I don't know why there aren't thousands of people protesting x, y, z," I beg you to begin by saying why YOU aren't protesting x, y, z.... [It's incredible annoying]

Cool art to share over on my Patreon. For those invested in my "I snarked about plot holes in a bad book and now I'm writing a novella about it," this is one you don't want to miss. www.patreon.com/posts/update...

These children are missing. They were taken from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. If you could just share this video, it would be a great help. #blacksky #missingchildren

George Jackson in "Blood in My Eye" 🖤

This is your semi-regular reminder that National Guard armories have never been easier to raid.

John Brown did nothing wrong! The Oberlin Raiders did nothing wrong! Radical antiracism is always right regardless of the law!

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

Sure, AI might cause utility bills to rise, and need land that could be used for housing, and deplete our dwindling water supply, and steal artists' existing works and sometimes future jobs, and makes disinformation spread more easily, but hey — at least we can see cats dancing on 2 legs w 6 fingers

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

We gotta stop talking to opps unless we setting up a fade. This is NOT a street discussion.
