Thinking about the arrival of BOP guards yesterday, and how a prominent right wing agitator outside of Broadview is an IDOT correctional officer who identifies heavily with ICE agents. The senseless, casual violence these guys are inflicting = what prisoners experience every day in this country.

🔮 You can pay Blacksky and Northsky instead of supporting a fully grown child in her meltdown Blacksky: opencollective.com/blacksky#cat... Northsky: northskysocial.com/profile/prod... Myself alongside many passionate people at Blacksky and Northsky encourage you to explore what we offer <3

Can we normalize respecting women?

damn, even the Chicago *Tribune* writers are talking about how bad ICE is

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

I was a burglar who discovered a horrific sex crime against a child and helped the police catch the man. My sentence was more than three times longer than Diddy’s.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

this should be a much bigger story

Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one. A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

Here is an excellent example of an email sent to Greylock, one of Bluesky's investors. The author hits all of the points, emphasizing how the decisions of the CEO (and CTO and others) will impact the investors *financially*. It's polite and well structured, so it will likely be read. Great job!

every ceo wants to be a poster so badly. look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power.

posting through Lowtax's ex (or widow, I am unclear on that timing) telling you ~ "hey I'm worried for you, this is who I am, please stop posting" is certainly... a choice

This is maybe the funniest thing for a CEO to have written as one of her last skeets before making bad jokes about how she hates her websites users

if lowtax's ex-wife is saying you remind her of fucking lowtax maybe you should stop posting

I replied to a thread with @pfrazee.com talking about moderation. Today I have a warning from Bluesky Moderation about a post made like two weeks ago being removed for glorifying violence where no violence was glorified. what

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov the cops you sent to do guard duty are doing guard duty for the thing you're pretending to be mad about

Pritzker is comfortable telling Illinoisans to put their bodies on the line to keep ICE accountable so he gets Resist Lib points, and yet here’s state patrol shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agents, arresting protesters and tear gassing priests. genuinely disgusting.

that was about your website allowing the n word as user names are you fucking okay rn

for those interested, this is where you pay us (Blacksky)

This is on you @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

She's right. Management and the mods at Bluesky will ban Palestinians, trans people and anyone else they dislike and then troll all of us, all with no prompting from the user base.

Here are all of the police departments out here at Broadview ICE detention center, confirmed by me and photographer Steel Brooks: Broadview, Oak Brook, Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff

Imagine being so transphobic you actively tell your userbase to destroy your business.

Your entire user base is people who fled another social media. Do you think they won't leave this one too?

Contact your state legislators and the Gov and tell them that you want them to escalate this violation of the Illinois Trust act to the Attorney General. The State Police are breaking state law by assisting immigration enforcement. Find your legislator here: www.elections.il.gov/electionoper...

I just called the governor's office because I'm deeply concerned with what I am seeing at Broadview today, with Illinois State Police detaining people who are doing what the governor has been telling Illinoisans to do: protesting and filming federal agents gov.illinois.gov/contact-us/c...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is this the picture you want the world to see? Illinois standing with ICE and the Trump administration?

border patrol agents are holding a line against protesters side-by-side with broadview police, oak brook police, illinois state police, + the cook county sheriff’s office. feds made a huge push to clear everyone from harvard street, which ice uses to enter and leave the broadview detention center.

by this metric our own Government shouldn't since he just sent State Police to beat the shit out of legal protesters to (illegally) help ICE

By the way, this is blatantly not true if you look at the way they suspended a bunch of people after Kirk's death. You can absolutely harass these people into moderating the way you want them to, you just have to be a right winger.

Jay gives the whole game away lol. If youre a big enough account youre fine. Doesnt matter what you say. The moderation rules and TOS don’t apply to you. Small enough and say rest in piss? Banned. Trans? Banned. Palestinian? Don’t even think about it. Its harassing the mods to ask this to stop :(

Meltdown May 2026 is starting really early this year

thanks for the heads up 👍

If you’re in Illinois and you’re disturbed by the images that you’re seeing of the Illinois State Police in Broadview this morning, please call now. It will honestly take 30 seconds. I spoke to a real person. Here are the phone numbers: 312-814-2121 312-814-2122 217-782-6830 217-782-6831

if you're not sure who the Illinois State Police are there to protect, here's a helpful guide: the people they have their backs to, who they are not pushing or giving orders to, are the ones being protected @govpritzker.illinois.gov has deployed the state police to protect ICE operations

Welp

@govpritzker.illinois.gov so you were just gonna tweet vaguely about this while you sent state troopers to protect a concentration camp?

Two victims in Manchester attack were shot by police on.ft.com/42KdNBd

Greater Manchester Police said that its officers shot two of the victims in the attack on a synagogue one of whom died. “It is currently believed that the suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie, was not in possession of a firearm and the only shots fired were from GMP’s Authorised Firearms Officers,”

Whoever is running DHS social media knew exactly what they were doing here. The "Mac Tonight" Moon Man meme was so prevalent on Nazi Telegram channels I genuinely didn't even know it originated elsewhere until much later.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Alpha Testing is going well! We're successfully overcoming hurdles and moving bigger and bigger accounts. Our tools and PDS configuration are improving, and we're also working on finalizing an explainer video that should help folks wrap their heads around Migration and what it means on AT Protocol.

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

start telling your friends and family now that CBS is no longer reliable, because I'm still explaining how Newsweek was hollowed out by Republican ghouls and that deal was like a decade ago

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.
