many people are asking... under what pretext does Immigration and Customs Enforcement feel that they have any grounds to threaten legal residents that "agitate" them?

Honestly, still have not seen a good theory for why this happened other than “they’re fucking idiots, man” but concerned for my family there.

Someone said the scolds need to log off When It Happens, so I’m just gonna get this out of the way now: I do not feel like Americans really have anything to celebrate if the only thing that stops the brutal ascent of fascism in this country is our decrepit leader dropping dead while still in office.

There are people in my home town & places I frequent, who pose a threat to my physical safety and the safety of others. When bsky moderation censors accounts like @bywayofplymouth.bsky.social, not only does it make us less safe, but it also erases their entire backlog of research which we rely on.

Ten years ago today, on Feb 6th, 2016 an itchy little slimeball named Roosh V planned on having a “mens rights” rally that, among other things advocated for “the legalization of rape on private property” – It was a pro-rape rally, and people responded as you might expect.

I’m trying to detox from politics for a few days and it’s been going ok, but I was at a greasy spoon diner in the middle of nowhere in some NYC outer borough and saw a “Trump blames intern for racist lion king video” headline on cable news and… man I’m so glad I have no idea what that means.

NYC mayor is going for the cheap pop with the urban explorer voting bloc

It’s me. I’m “no one”

FINE 😡

this isn’t what america is about vs this is all america has ever been

i dwell a lot on how i seem to have flunked out of a professional career in journalism & digital publishing, but then i look at the people who are succeeding in this industry, in this climate, and i am glad i don't have anything to do with it.

we are entering the A Las Barricadas phase, ok

It has not been a good time online for survivors of CSA this week, or police brutality the past couple weeks. Text your friends, maybe.

Idk man, I definitely remember needing to blow up my entire social circle more than once in my life because we found out someone in the scene was actually a disgusting but well connected pervert.

love & rage

🙏and also with you🙏

you guys, anarchism and communism will never work because of human nature. also, if you ever see anyone doing either of those things successfully, that’s not politics, it’s just humanity

The white race is an arbitrary collection of people from diverse ethnic & cultural backgrounds who are permitted to benefit from light skin privilege in exchange for their tacit approval of, support for, and participation in the systemic oppression of people of color.

actually we said that in like 2014 but libs mostly responded like this. anyway, the election & everything else worked out fine for you guys, right?

The Trump admin didn’t pick Minnesota to “practice on smaller cities” – they want a rematch at the 2020 uprisings. When they send CBP/ICE to NYC (and, ffs they’re already here) they are going to target NY districts 3 & 4 in Long Island, and the outer boroughs. Not the city, certainly not Tribeca.

Y’all are never going to believe this, but back before the 2010s, you’d pick an apartment because it was in a neighborhood where your friends lived and had business you liked. Ya know, instead of just… being at the top of the list on streeteasy when you sort from low to high.

Pam Bondi’s big list of heroes who will never have to pay for a coffee or a beer for the rest of their lives.

Law enforcement is supposed to operate with the consent of the population. When an entire population tells federal law enforcement to stop & fuck off, they are supposed to stop & fuck off. One of the last things I would ever call myself is a “patriot” but this is absolutely foundational to the USA.

anti-deutsche in shambles

Thread from the ICE facility in Portland last night: People rallied after border patrol executed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Early in the night some barricades were put up against the gate where the feds typically come out of, including a dumpster that got rolled over.

been watching NFL via bootleg canadian streams, and so many of the ads make a point to mention they're canadian companies or made in canada

the government gives you two choices: either you are someone who lets the state violate you & your neighbors rights with impunity, or you’re a “criminal terrorist”

"we shoot at you"

I used to love this at old g20 / antiwar protests… we’d block an intersection and the cops would try to get us to disperse and go up to the front and ask “who’s in charge here” and someone from our group would yell back “who’s in charge here!?” and everyone would raise their hands.

Tens of thousands of people told the Feds to leave town yesterday. I do not care if one of them had a gun.

Haven’t been able to concentrate the past few weeks, even though I’m sleeping and drinking water and getting outside. So I figured maybe I’d take a break from weed for a bit. But now I still can’t concentrate and also I’m in a bad mood about it.

Thousands of people in Minnesota have taken the initiative to self-organize mutual aid and community self-defense formations to protect and support their neighbors, in response to brutal state repression, without the permission or direction from their elected leaders... If anyone needs an example.

I know there’s a lot going on but I just wanted to mention that iOS liquid glass also sucks and is bad

Wish there was some way I could earn a living just beating the shit out of people in the NY Post comments section.

this is important because it means you can disregard all those people who said ice was bad 20 years ago.

see, you can’t tell Americans that they are all subjugated peasants. everyone in America must be reassured that they are simply a temporarily embarrassed colonizer king

hey, did you ever look at the total disregard and lack of urgency that the ruling class has had about all the irrefutable proof that capitalism is making our planet’s climate inhospitable, and then think that it’s kinda weird they didn’t really seem to be very worried about any of that ..?

Alright so I just watched Cherry 2000 and I have a lot of thoughts, but the first thing I’m struck by is … this dude fully intended to stick his dick in his robot wife, a home electrical appliance, while it was sitting in an inch of water and about to short circuit.

what level of hating Americans are you on right now ? > I am happy that Howard Lutnick got yelled at at Davos You are like a little baby, watch this

Just went to my local food distro for the first time this year, and apparently the communist mayor and his trash police are trying to evict us.

trying to explain what a todo list is to my cat

I know that I am a cynical bastard, but I want to be clear that I would lay down my life to protect Yoshi2.0

Yeah, well… I guess if you plan on physically removing 100 million black & brown people from the US population, you gotta cut corners somewhere

Nah. No way man. This sounds like some crazy thing a leftist would have made up in 2004 to try and trick you into thinking the patriot act was going to be a bad thing.

i just pressed record on a 90 minute DJ mix session for the first time in idk how many years. unfortunately for me it turns out it came out basically ok and was kinda fun, so i might be forced to post it and then make another one.

How does the weather know that it’s the weekend and that it’s time to start raining?

Carry your passport or don’t, but you absolutely do not and should not comply with federal agents asking for “papers please”

I have vivid childhood memories of Seattle police beating WTO protesters on TV while my pro-union parents watched aghast as Clinton criticized them. I went on to get my ass beat repeatedly by cops under Obama for protesting the war, bailouts, ICE, police brutality & etc I’m not gonna vote for that
