Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained." This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

Are we being told we have a risk of death for a year after a Covid infection? No we are not.

“Sweden sacrificed its seniors to the pandemic and used its schoolchildren as guinea pigs. Its government plied its people with lies about COVID-19 and even tried to smear its critics.”

Even the official Iranian government numbers say 2000+ victims bsky.app/profile/shas...

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA. The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet. Evan Greer writes for EITM in this latest op-ed. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The road to the current state of the US is lined with signs that read "Wait and see", "Don't overreact", "Ignore the doomsayers", etc.

I think posts that contain AI images and video should have to be clearly marked as such, and have a system tag… and users should be able to opt out of seeing all AI tagged posts.

BREAKING: We've found 40+ cases of agents using banned chokeholds & other moves that can cut off breathing People have had seizures. They passed out. “I felt like I was going to die” said 16-yr-old citizen Admin won't say whether any agents have been punished www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Anyone with even a passing familiarity with Gen X knows exactly why so many of us cheer on authoritarians. I thought my peers & the kids slightly older were the absolute worst growing up, but thought we'd mellowed after having kids. Absolutely hate that middle age has proven me right.

According to email documentation in the Epstein files, Bill Pulte’s grandfather allegedly worked with Jeffrey Epstein in 2004 to help broker a real estate deal by which a Russian oligarch disguised a $100 million transfer to Donald Trump.

Trump managed to shift public opinion on immigration to the highest approval it's ever had just by being this horrifying, imagine if we took advantage of that. Because right now? NORMIES HATE ICE.

Cancelled and they did ask me if it was about ICE and I said yes. Not the hugest traveler but I used Hilton often. Every person who calls, no matter how small their hotels counts. They will be having panicked meetings this week if the trickle turns into a flood.

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

this is not a party gearing up to even pare back funding, let alone abolish ICE. I cannot stress enough that it'd be cleaner and easier to just get rid of every last one of them via primary than try to figure out which is worth saving

A faith-based community that truly follows both the teachings of Jesus *and* accurate science on COVID! 🤯 This is a must-read. “We insist on trying to protect each other frm unnecessary suffering & death in the face of the threat posed by a novel virus whose long-term effects are still unknowable…”

Officers who shatter car windows aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. One officer who smashed a window in front of a local TV reporter got a senior ICE position overseeing operations on the East Coast. (Published July 2025)

It fucked my cycles up for 7 months. And it's an abortifacient.

They want you to "quit demonstrating"

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

There was no good version of DHS, it was not created for good reasons, ‘terrorism’ has always been a bullshit claim to justify surveillance, harassment, detention, occupation and war.

Now there is an update which shows even mild covid can impact the brain. We need to stop seeing it as ‘mild’ as any infection can lead to long covid. bsky.app/profile/cord...

It's important to know who said what and when because 1) it shows who to trust in terms of analysis 2) it shows potential targets of the state who to trust in terms of protection. If they had power and didn't take Epstein or ICE seriously before 2025, they're bullshitting now. And that's dangerous.

And to me, it's not "doomerism" to say "this is what is happening". It's doomerism if that's followed with "and you can't do anything about it/shouldn't bother resisting". Being prepared & sharing info about reality is extremely important to properly resist.

god, there’s apparently ICE agents in Bemidji, in northern MN. Bemidji is between my reservation and two others. there is very little diversity besides the Indigenous population. truly terrifying with how vulnerable Native women especially already are.

Another friend witnessed ICE pulling up on the sidewalk and grabbing a woman wearing a hijab and shoving her into their car and driving off. No conversation, just snatch and grab. We are being terrorized and we still have politicians being dumbasses about it.

A friend who is working to organize rapid response told me this yesterday: ICE is snatching people as they get out of their cars at gas stations, leaving the cars at the pumps, often with the doors wide open. People responding have to move the cars and then find out how to reach family.

"shitting on ai makes you sound like a Luddite" oh okay, thank you! Luddites were cool as hell

It’s astounding how certain people get so bent out of shape by things that do not affect them in the slightest. Like, I’m sorry not sorry you have to be aware that a person who is different from you or who makes different choices than you exists. Fuck off and get some therapy.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I despair over science teachers who don’t understand science.

This is 100% correct. The lack of N95s in Canada's hospitals reflects the scientific illiteracy of medicine's metastatic management class - the same narrow little pseudoscientific club currently grabbing power over every area where science touches society in the US - and in Canada now too:

" “There is even less justification for allowing healthcare workers to wear no face covering at all,” they said. "

"There is “no rational justification remaining for prioritising or using” the surgical masks that are ubiquitous in hospitals and clinics globally, given their “inadequate protection against airborne pathogens”, they said in a letter to WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus."

"All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience." Must-read from @michellegoldberg.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o... 🎁

There was heavy bombing all through yesterday afternoon and evening in Gaza, shaking the ground and scaring Samaa's children. This feels like full-blown war. Please help the family if you can. tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily @mommunism.bsky.social @pepsffk.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social #MutualAid 🍉

This is so true! Even for the 500-word poem I just wrote, AI could never have made the deep connections of symbol, language & flow of argument that my own heart, mind, experiences & synapses did. I'm also looking forward to reading Anna O. Law's book:

Please tell me that SOME DAY people will understand how communicable diseases actually work?? Please???

In conclusion: (2/2)

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but the flu is getting out of hand. And we needed to make a post about it. Here are our pretty direct thoughts, because sometimes our social media manager/infographic designer is tired & can’t think of a way to put it more gently. Please make good choices. (1/2)

Repeated infections before you've even recovered = progressive immune damage. That's why it's taken 3 years for TB to explode. Frankly, this is exactly what @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social was forwarning. The #Leonardi_Effect is everything we were both suggesting 🚨😬

Dammit Amazon why are you delivering packages in the middle of the night in heavy rain and not so much as putting a plastic bag over them!?!??

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

I had no idea

ICE has recently bought the capability of monitoring the location histories of entire neighborhoods worth of phones. The data is likely harvested from apps that sell your data, which filters up through data brokers and eventually to companies that sell to ICE: www.404media.co/inside-ices-...
