Still a deeply sh**ty Administration, intent on violating our rights.

Thank you Billy The first of Hopefully MANY voices

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

maybe in retrospect giving the lady who had a lot of fun shooting her dog a 150 billion dollar goon squad was a bad idea

#knitsky so after all my noodling about picking out a vest pattern, today I cast on the Melt the Ice hat, in the colorway Fuck Ice from @dyemadyarns.bsky.social

That should be blue city crackdowns aren’t over. They just sacrificed a pawn, a high ranking one, but still a pawn, to protect Trump and Miller. That’s it, that’s all they’ve done.

Nationalize this out-of-control private panopticon... ... And then wreck it.

I swear, in 12 months, I've never seen one f*cking warrant from these violent, bootlicking masked cowards. It's almost like this isn't about illegal immigration at all?

Medicines that work—vaccines, antibiotics, etc—often don't pencil out in for-profit terms, even if the social cost-benefit calculation is hugely in the black. We cannot depend on a profit model 4 drug development & we can't be surprised if doing so makes us sicker & less equipped for what ails us.

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute *every single abuse*.

someone make a fed group chat and just add them all in by themselves and have them entrap each other

Someone in Bree's mentions is like warning her that there are some racist romance authors and they're not all like us, which.... Ahem. We know. Every skill you see being deployed here was learned in the first place through romance on romance violence.

THIS. I really wish people understood that the fake-ass apology to get you to shut up is part of the abuse cycle and we don't have to fucking participate in this shit.

This is a ridiculous thing to say, mostly because I feel like agency law has turned into lol whatever John Roberts wants, but I think that using AI to draft regulations is the definition of arbitrary and capricious.

The head of AI coming out as a "classical liberal" should alarm you because he's basically admitting that Alex Pretti is the ONLY kind of human that in the past couple years clears his standard for commentary He's not pissed at the force he's pissed the social algorithm sorted wrong

Imagine debasing yourself by saying dumb shit like this

Never forget the Minnesota GOP invited Nick Shirley here & plied him with intel, resulting in targeted harassment of innocent people and ultimately, this occupation.

Todd Blanche, facing disbarment for unethical conduct, pleads with Americans to ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears and instead accept the lies of the wannabe totalitarian state.

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

“Abolish ICE” - ICE www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Every administration, every faculty senate, every board of trustees who forced their institutions to bend the knee over this shit should immediately be fired. Their presence dishonors the profession and the institutions they supposedly serve.

Number 2 is seriously a minor miracle. The number of people being confronted with life threatening violence is unreal and NOT EVEN ONE person has retaliated with violence. Incredible.

Can't say too many times: Bolts and @taniel.bsky.social are really the best thing to happen to political reporting in the last decade at least. This stuff matters so much and gets so little attention.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

A lot of media treats Vance as they expect him, as VP, to act, not how he actually acts and speaks. At this point in his career, he’s fully steeped in online “own the libs” meme culture and temperamentally unable to express any unifying sentiments.

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

“More training” is how you turn slovenly Brownshirts into an actual Gestapo

People are criticizing knitters making red/Norwegian-style hats in support of Minnesota anti-ICE protests as "performative." Do these people think the Black Panthers wore uniforms because they had sartorial decision fatigue? #knitting #knitsky

If you work for ICE, quit now. Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming. Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

DreamHaven in Minneapolis is where I discovered Pratchett. I’ve always been grateful to sign there, but now I’m gonna be proud as hell too.

Lord, I have seen what you have done for others.

The Episcopal Bishop of Dallas--Dallas!--came out and said anyone working for ICE needs to repent and come to Jesus. edod.org/resources/ar...

For those who are unaware of this particular fandom…that’s a helluva group to radicalize.

Not you I'm sure, but those folks are not ready for number of people who grew up in households that watched Star Trek and listened to sermons about Jesus and... in their middle age realized that Jesus and Picard and Kirk and Janeway would tell us something very different from what conservatives say.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

I have used literally EXACTLY this tactic, it works as perfectly as if it were tailor-made for the purpose.

“If your state doesn’t help us we will be forced to murder its citizens” is an argument that only works on people who are already subnormal bootlickers.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

By my friend, the amazing cartoonist @mikedawson.bsky.social Part of a longer story. You need to follow him.

You don't have to know anything about what the Supreme Court says to understand that the federal government has no legal warrant extort through violence what it is not legally entitled to under constitution and law.

The judge presses DOJ about Bondi's letter making three demands: How are those not demonstrating that the purpose of the surge is to effect those changes?

Still can't believe they immediately put the officers who killed Pretti back in the field. Even if the shooting had been justified (it wasn't), it's just incredibly callous and reckless -- to the public, but also to the officers themselves. Just a sociopathic dearth of humanity.

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

Every American veteran and every employee of the VA should rest assured that if their government murders them, Doug Collins will only blame them implicitly, not explicitly, because Doug Collins is a coward.

He is merely complying

Lol... it was less censored under Chinese ownership. That says a lot.

The Free Press put out a piece calling out Noem's lies about Alex Pretti's murder, and the comment section is absolutely furious.
