this whole saga has given me an immense newfound respect for Ken Jennings

*creating a digital witch-hunt with the stated purpose of socially shaming open source maintainers out of the community* I did this to HELP programmers

Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Lol

NEWS --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman are introducing a new bill to strip ICE officers of qualified immunity, making lawsuits and prosecutions easier. They also say agent who killed Renee Good should be prosecuted in Minnesota. They break this news on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2051...

Holy fuck they actually did it

Mamdani’s New York is out of control

oop

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

no im a guy

you think you're the cypress but buddy you ain't even the cassidy

i'm a programmer for autodesk fusion 360, and i'm proud to say that i hate engineering and all its practitioners

LISTEN UP, LIBERAL. THERE ARE THREE GENDERS: MAN, WOMAN, AND PACMAN

i didn't know Pac-Man could be nonbinary. maybe i'm a bad person

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

in 2017 we basically ran everyone who took this tone about heather heyer out of society. they had to reregister their dns in russia

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

It’s the perfect distillation of their perverse authoritarian worldview: words, rather than existing to describe things, exist to IMPOSE meaning. This woman was not shot in the face by ICE because she’s a terrorist, she becomes a terrorist because she was shot in the face by ICE. Grotesque

These monsters cannot coexist with a rationale and stable society, you cannot divide the world between people for whom words have meaning and people for whom anything is as true as it needs to be to justify every horrific urge that flits through their hearts. It’s them or us, them or us

What our cops need is better training. Then they could kill bystanders with one expertly aimed bullet, instead of three haphazardly panic-fired ones. They could do trick shots and stuff.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

noem’s only regret is that her goons didn’t kill the dog too

impeaching Noem is the compromise position

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

“in america, you deserve to be murdered by the state if you have gender pronouns in bio”

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

But bluesky is boring

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

"I just don't see how the cold blooded murder of a mother in Minneapolis is going to bring back the 5 for 5 deal at Arby's"

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Destroy ICE and prosecute every single one of its employees

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I'm at the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity and the crisis of impunity

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Hilton Corporate to give Minneapolis shooter double rewards and extra pancakes on next visit.

ICE's execution of a civilian in broad daylight is just a distraction from the cost-of-living crisis

Ok Dems, precedent is set. I expect Netanyahu blindfolded and handcuffed onboard the USS Iwo Jima on January 22, 2029.

if you tried to do this in the us, you'd have a billion dollar conservative moms group lobbying against it 12 hours later and credulous news articles taking their claims seriously in 24 bsky.app/profile/davi...

this shit is completely insane on all fronts but they still haven't articulated an actual reason to pursue greenland. i'm pretty sure he just saw it on a mercator projection and went "that's big. i want it"
