ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.” ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Inventions used to be so cool. It'd be stuff like "Here's paper to wipe your butt, in a condensed roll!" or "We made metal boats that move in the air!" or "We added cocaine to this drink so now it's medicine!" but now it's just all "We added more misery into your misery square, get fucked."

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total bsky.app/profile/pink...

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!

Please note that, unlike the president, the deputy chief of staff does not have immunity from prosecution for official acts per Trump v. United States

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness. The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires. So they go for the media-bait illusions of power. Like this. Profoundly weak flex.

I really hope the Gaza flotilla finally breaks the siege. With everything going on that would make my month.

It's so nice to see a bunch of faces of genuinely good people. Like, I can genuinely have kinship in my heart for them without not knowing if they're a turbo bigot. It's hard to describe. I haven't felt this way often since covid began 😌

I am yet to hear any republican, let alone Trump himself, explain wtf "transgender for everybody" even means and how it would be bad

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Great plan by the administration to continue pissing off the entire country with insane, unpopular overreach

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

hey what if instead we burned your entire exploitative empires to the fucking ground

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

Update on this: The City of Evanston isn't waiting for Flock to take the cams down, and staff have covered them up with bags and tape. Writing up a quick story to post before I go do (another!) citywide site visit to confirm all are covered (Picture taken yesterday by @joergmetzner.bsky.social)

Rep. Summer Lee and other lawmakers are demanding that Israel be held accountable for the violence perpetrated against Palestinian Americans by Israeli soldiers and settlers. “The grief and outrage of the families of American citizens killed and detained by Israeli forces was palpable,” Lee said.

As a furry who goes out of their way to make new friends and cultivate my community whenever possible this (well documented) problem is just alien to me. I am grateful for what our community offers, despite its flaws.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

*sigh*

It is very funny that the "bigger tent" crowd always tries to argue that we need to stop advocating for positions that would grow the tent. See also Ezra Klein arguing we need anti-abortion candidates in states where abortion is an overwhelming a popular issue.

don't worry guys, microsoft respected the IDFs right to privacy blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

A ludicrous, important read by the good folks at Wired. Take a moment to comb it

a general strike shut down italy on monday in support of palestine & now this is happening. international worker solidarity still has power!!

WOOT 🙌

NOW WE ARE TALKING

So the original reporting of a big organized attack was nonsense, they may not have the actual shooter at all and they are inventing charges to just rope more people in

Worst political instincts of all history

HELL YEAH PRESA EVERYWHERE ANY WIN BIG OR SMALL Glad our man's is out

Funny that I haven't seen a damn word in the media about the Epstein birthday book and the Trump paedosketch since Kirk got merc'd Interesting!

I'm going to be honest with you, man. I dont think that happened

I wrote for @theguardian.com this week (also in print in this week’s @streetroots.bsky.social) on Portland’s investigation into permit violations at the local ICE facility. It’s one tool for a long process that could ultimately provide some accountability, with eviction unlikely, but in the toolbox.

The primary argument for cancelling Kimmel is that he jumped on information about the motivations of the shooter too quickly.

I want to emphasize how unusual it is for an FBI director to be putting out evidence like this on Twitter within hours of a shooting. This is not normal. This is the kind of stuff that can compromise investigations.
