ICE intentionally barks conflicting commands to give themselves a pretext for violence. They are the gestapo, they are brownshirts, they do not protect our country. They terrorize it and bring with them death and misery.

TIL that coal plants and nuclear plans both use the same hyperbolic cooling towers, which made this article's image look to me like a weird photoshop job.

I haven't seen many posts about the amazing bike lane stuff going on along Market St in Old City. They streets are being absolutely transformed. It is great.

Cherelle Parker has gone out of her way to not poke the bear. I can't imagine she's happy at all with Bilal putting Philadelphia on blast like this. And talk about the wrong messenger! Bilal's not in charge of the cops. If commissioner Kevin Bethel said this, it would be very different.

What inoculated me from the L&O copaganda (I do like SVU!) was a cop telling me to straight up lie to get a guy convicted. Guy had broken into my car, but escaped capture by wielding a screwdriver. Cop said: say you saw him with a knife. I never saw him, period. Forevermore: do not trust cops.

In which DeSantis says drivers can mow down protesters if they fear for their life. In concert with the Minneapolis messaging, the perfect distillation of the MAGA worldview: death to protesters, be they on foot or in a car. Death to thee, not for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DXB...

1. The first thing that should be said about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer is that the victim’s name is Renee Nicole Good.

60 Minutes, and all of CBS, is dead, now a propaganda arm of the administration. A truly sad loss for the American media landscape.

"Worthless." You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Her name was Renee Nicole Good, and she did not deserve to be murdered.

ICE is the Cylons, and we all need to get aboard Battlestar Galactica.

ICE tracks phones durably, long after the protests are over. Do not bring your phones to protests. Airplane mode might keep you safe, but it is not guaranteed.

- Do not bring your phones to protests - use (non-GPS-enabled) walkie-talkies to communicate, and use coded language - if you bring a camera, disable GPS and location archive.is/HYbBG

This is relevant to current events. Bovino et al will arrest people for *being opposed to the actions of ICE and DHS*. This is totalitarianism, this is the gestapo. People are dying and the FBI is getting in the way of holding those responsible accountable at the state level.

Our FBI and the administration condone and protect the murder of citizens. This is, of course, what cops do all the time, but it is even worse on a federal scale, and applied to anyone who dares to even observe what is happening. Things are Very Very Bad.

The Kash Patel FBI is complicit in the atrocities perpetrated by ICE and cannot be given control of this investigation.

This one goes out to all my former mutuals who screamed at me about Columbia protesters when I balked at the ADL defending Musk.

ICE is now straight up just attacking schools. This is a ground assault on a Democratic city by the administration, full stop. And they want people to fight back so that Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act.

That is Jeffrey Young Jr, our District 5 councilperson who got into office because a POS attorney named Kevin Greenberg sued to disqualify everyone else. He is, believe it or not, worse than Darrell Clarke. Just a trainwreck.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

ICE wants protesters to die. This is the intended result of their actions, and the message they want to send: resist us and die.

Everything about this is horrifying and sickening. ICE straight up murdered a woman - shot her multiple times in the face - and DHS is smearing her as a domestic terrorist. This is the same administration that is whitewashing J6. And the ICE thugs are likely J6ers.

There is not going to be a comeback. Market East is dead, killed by a collective unwillingness to take any chances or poke any bears. The mall is a hostile space that feels eager to eject you and the sidewalk abuts blocks of sealed-up entryways. The only good thing going on is the new bike lanes.

I've always avoided putting my development projects on GitHub because it feels like putting my eggs in the same basket as everyone else. And, well, I was right not to do so. www.404media.co/github-ban-s...

If you've ever wondered "how did the Germans let it happen" - well, look around you, it is happening here.

January 6, 2021, remains a dark stain on our nation’s history. This was an attack on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our democracy. Five years later, we must never allow Donald Trump or his extremist allies to whitewash the violent events of this day. (1/3)

You categorically cannot *overstate* the viciousness of slavery.

In which Robert Cherry, of Broad and Liberty, accuses the exhibit at Washington's house in Center City of "undermin[ing] exalted notions of Washington and exaggerat[ing] the viciousness of slavery." Hot, reprehensible, hateful, execrable and ahistorical trash. broadandliberty.com/2026/01/06/r...

Fetterman, once again making everyone who voted for him regret their decision for the 1000th time. Fuck this dude.

Confession: I'm an oldhead who still signs emails.

Yes. Yes we are.

Re: waiting rooms: "To enter, tap your registered SEPTA Key card, Senior Fare card, Reduced Fare card or CCT card on the card reader located at or near the entrance door. Waiting areas are open during posted hours only; entry outside of these times is prohibited." No access for cash or contactless

Looking forward to whenever PATCO gets their act together with contactless payment. If SEPTA can do it, so can they.

Kind of amazing how I see comments that disparage biking and running and new housing and basically anything that isn't pro-car, always with a nativist "transplants suck" bent, and then the accounts are almost all "I LOVE OBAMA, DEMOCRACY NOW"

This is fucking insane. Hotels, specifically @hamptoninn.bsky.social, cancelling reservations because people live too close to the hotel. Not out of concern for out of towners, but as a blanket policy to keep indigents out. Hateful, hateful shit. Fuck Hampton Inn.

"Won't people think of the fascist thugs and their FEEELINGS?" - this trash take.

Generally, when it snows, I shovel my house and two houses down, because I know the people who live there, and I'm out shoveling anyhow. It's a courtesy, and I don't mind, and I don't expect accolades. But this article sez *not* doing that makes you a bum. www.inquirer.com/life/inq2/sh...

3 out of 4 Gen Z Republicans think Hitler was a "great leader", "under[stands] where he was coming from" or thinks his brand of nationalism was "all that."

Tom Cruise was fantastic in Magnolia and Tropic Thunder. He's a true chameleon and stellar actor who's outsized star power has kept him in crowd-pleasing blockbusters. I will definitely go see this. And yes to the poster art!

He's absolutely on point about how to reach everyone and drive usage of public transit, but there is also the question of where to get the money that was previously provided by fare capture. That number is not insignificant, and the MTA is not awash in a surplus of funding.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Your daily reminder that an administration that is anti-anti-fascist is, by definition, pro-fascist.

That is also definitely a crop of a long zoom shot which has the effect of flattening a face and removing perspective, which is 100% unflattering in all circumstances. This is a hit job, well-executed.

This kind of reminds me of Philly's City Hall, which was also much loathed upon its construction. It has interesting features! I like it! More weird buildings, please.
