Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter. name a fucking high school after him.

The power of Baked Potatoes and grassroots logistics will abolish ICE @hollyanderson.bsky.social @channel6.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

friendly reminder The things you believed were right yesterday are still right. They'll be right if they put you in jail. They'll be right if they shoot you. They'll still be right when these people are dead and dusted and gone. which they will be

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

operating under the assumption that you’re exempt from violence just because you’re currently choosing differently than those who’ve already been affected is naive at best and horrifically holier than thou at worst.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Don’t let Trump’s incredibly creepy birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein make you miss another letter in which a member of Trump’s beach club jokes about Epstein showing “early ‘people skills’” by selling Trump a “fully depreciated” woman

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

So please, do not move forward as normal. This isn't normal. It's imperative to put pressure on Microsoft to end this. Whether that's by canceling Game Pass, refusing to cover their games with your normal cadence on your platforms, or to pressure them internally as employees. Now is the time.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

We are living in one of the few times in human history where you can buy a loaf of bread and if it says it’s made with wheat flour and salt and yeast and water and nothing else, it’s probably made from just those ingredients, and some people want to END this.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

@edsbs.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

Wine Moms etc. @hollyanderson.bsky.social @channel6.bsky.social

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

detroit's proposed change to defensive holding >>>>>>>

It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

once again, a "constitutional conservative" is without fail a bootlicker looking for a boot

SOCRATES: I am wiser than this man; he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing— DARRYL, SOCRATES' FRIEND (Editor's note: There is no historical evidence that Socrates actually had a friend named Darryl. This is likely a character invented to facilitate the joke.): fuck him up socrates

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.

Money really can’t buy you love, and it increasingly seems like the answer the nation’s ultra-rich have to that problem is to destroy and disarm anything they believe is even remotely critical of them. It’s a tragedy, really. Modern Shakespeare tale kind of stuff.

think being online has radicalized me against reflexive contrarianism and irony-poisoning

This is gods football by Notre Dame

happy MLK day everyone. a quote that’s been stuck in my brain heavy over the past few years

Never going to forget or forgive a single fucking person who supported him.

AOC on the Dem strategy against the trans sports bill today, where they argued it would protect "predators," and ended up losing just 2 Trump-district Dems on it:

full court press all four quarters play to the damn whistle

Every other year or so, I've written a new recipe for the Honolulu Blue Kool Aid cocktail, since 2015. It's also never just a recipe because I have a lot to say about life and a little about the Detroit Lions. This year it's about the LA fires. #onepride www.prideofdetroit.com/2025/1/13/24...

@fourverts.bsky.social mood for the 2nd half

Detroit Lions = America's team

@grubb.wtf start a sonic chant!

It’s not just that the billionaires control the economy. It’s not just that the billionaires increasingly control our political system. It’s that these oligarchs also control the media and the information the American people receive. This is a very dangerous situation.

The infiltrator’s name is John Williams. To learn what he revealed about the paramilitary movement — and how a mole managed to become a senior leader in a major American militia — read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Ann Telnaes, who has worked at The Washington Post as an editorial cartoonist since 2008, says her cartoon criticizing billions currying favor with Trump was spiked — and now she has quit the paper

the funniest thing to me about instagram AI bots is that facebook / meta is basically admitting their platform is dead and has no exponentially growth outside of this they're trying to find new ways to boost engagement so they can sell more ads, but can't sell AI as "organic" engagement to corps

individually concentrated wealth is incompatible with healthy society

I hope the sands of time wash away all of humanity’s works except for this one quote

Sure feels like the packers are just getting out game planned today, feels like the Vikings are playing a step ahead
