This is something I've wanted to talk about for a while as a white guy who was born, raised and has always lived in the rural Deep South. The people who told me there was a devastating pandemic on its way were the first to deny it when it arrived. The ones who swore up and down that--

In the end, all that matters is what you actually did - not what you thought or imagined. Time flies and our actions define who we are. I’m proud of what I’ve done for my community and my family. Thank you to everyone who chooses, every single day, to do something for Ukraine.

Hey folks of Minneapolis!! If you need a tow truck, don’t use Cedar Towing & Auction !!!! One of their tow truck drivers attempted to drive his truck through the protest of people today while proudly wearing his MAGA hat

So ya I watched the ICE perspective video and he 100% shot her because she annoyed him and then only vaguely registered he'd killed an actual person not an NPC.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

This is, in fact, what they think The ideology being pressed here is that a certain group of people has the right to cleanse the world of everything and everyone they find annoying through lethal violence

two ICE guys are standing at the airport. "Isn't it amazing that only a handful of men can hijack those huge machines?" says one. "Don't be stupid," says his buddy, "They wait till it's tiny up in the sky."

Several people have died in ICE custody and because of ICE detention. Renee Goode’s murder is a crime everyone could plainly see but make no mistake, there are many families who will never see their father, mother, sibling, or parent again because of ICE.

this isn’t a year old yet but fuck it after what happened today I think it’s time to reflect on this thread from last february a little ahead of i’m kind of shocked both by how accurate my analysis was and how thoroughly most of the people who get paid to do shit like this dropped the ball

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

"The bottom-line is this: When an overseer tells you to do something, you do it and you don't get beat." Rep. Hunt has apparently never found a limit to the number of boots he is willing to lick.

I think a lot of folks thought Dems losing all levers of power would punish them by forcing them to clean up Trump's messes. Now that they're finding out they actually eliminated Dems' ability to stop this, they're crashing out over the realization they've just made things permanently worse

The right wing crazies win because everyone knows they are willing to cut the baby in half (literally and figuratively) and we aren't. Cool we're the real mom because we don't want the baby to die. Solomon is *NOT IN CHARGE* of real life and they're gonna kill the baby whether we give it up or not.

The abduction of Nicolas Maduro was clearly a crime against international law and good precedent - but can you imagine the doubts about Ukraine’s actual sovereignty if in the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine most of the soldiers killed defending Zelenskyy were foreign?

Please watch this video it's so fucking funny it kills me every time to just watch this fucking dude activate goddamn psychic powers he seems to think all human beings possess. An absolutely exquisite 52 seconds of your time

If he carries on like this it's going to make the FIFA Peace Prize look ridiculous

Never before seen footage‼️ Tornado genesis of the Clear Lake, South Dakota tornado earlier this year. @myradar.bsky.social #tornado #weather

i think kathy hochul is converting to islam

this is such an important thing to recognize and call out the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

my miele arrived

Mr Clooney! I have a great idea! Film one more Nespresso commercial, for old times sake, and give us 1/10 of what you earn from it! www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Happy New Year, Bluesky.

Rest in peace to Mike F, one of the all-time greats

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

One of the best to ever do it

You have to admit, it is darkly funny that she was right about the elite pedophile conspiracy all along but accidentally joined it.

Best bait I've ever seen

Honestly the only Stranger Things media that matters

There are three pathways to peace in Ukraine: a just peace through Russian defeat, an unjust peace through compromise, and genocidal occupation euphemistically called peace through Ukrainian surrender. Ukraine is working towards the first goal, Europe for the second, Trump for the third.

[holding hostages in a bank vault] “I join the cops in wanting to resolve this dangerous situation”

every squad has the oblivious homie. except mine i guess

Still kind of baffled by the security guarantees talk, US and EU - people who’ve been watching russia break every single law, kidnap children, loot, rape, torture and kill en masse, bomb cities and blow up dams, occupy NPP for years. Those people are going to 100% help next time, pinky promise?

Can’t argue with that

No matter how grim your holiday may be, someone out there is making it grimmer for themselves by choice

This morning my son came up to me asking “Is this real or a toy?” waving around what I quickly realized to my horror was a broom with a dead mouse stuck in it. At least we now know where the funny smell was coming from 😆 Merry Christmas everyone!

I've got a very special Christmas Bundt cake in my screenshots from several years ago.

I’ll just note that the US didn’t do this to China, which outright bans US social media websites

On behalf of everyone who wants SCOTUS to uphold birthright citizenship, I beg Stephen Miller to keep tweeting.

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

We had this rubbish in our village with the key complainant arguing it would be an eyesore, when she lived in a giant, ugly, modern house looming over the village. "Perhaps you've seen it." Fuck off! The solar is not directly visible from nearby, not even the many footpaths in the adjacent hills.
