“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

They are trying so hard to make something happen in Portland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Here's a book rec that is pure fun, no politics, the way art should be: 1984 (Orwell, 1949): A thoughtful office worker & a free-spirited woman share a sweet romance. They discover fitness and mindfulness together, and find an amazing life mentor. 😊 #SARCASM #booksky #scifi #book #bannedbookweek

Looks like DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is headed to Portland to continue her "war zone" tour in the USCG C101. I would expect increasing shows of force and attempts by the feds to incite violence in the overwhelmingly peaceful PDX area. #adsb globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ae10c1 #portland #fuckICE #pdx

PORTLAND INVASION: Incoming reinforcements by DHS helicopter N479C enroute to base at Hillsboro Airport. Keep your heads up! Track on ADS-B: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=a5e2bb --- #fuckICE #ICEraid #ICEoutofPortland #ICEAlert

I hope the universe love you today.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

I like to read books that are pure escapism, no social commentary. Here's another rec: THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE (Robinson, 2020) A cozy workplace drama about civil servants, featuring innovative financial tools and beautiful descriptions of Swiss alpine scenery! 😊 #SARCASM #booksky #scifi #book

DHS transport over Los Angeles! Homeland Security airplane N917A running callsign TROY329 is likely heading to Coronado (Naval Station North Island) but may be doing surveillance flying at only 10k feet passing LA. Keep your heads up! ADS-B live track: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=acb0ac

Continuing my series of book recs featuring perfectly neutral reads with zero social commentary: PARABLE OF THE SOWER (Octavia Butler, 1993): A practical guide to urban gardening and staying hydrated during long walks! Also, great tips about building community! 😊 #SARCASM #booksky #scifi #book

SUSPICIOUS: US Army Black Hawk Helicopter 96-26697 has made transit from Fort Knox, Kentucky straight to Downtown Chicago today. Track on ADS-B: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ae0d20

Continuing my series of totally non-political reads: THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA (Philip Roth, 2004): A nostalgic family story about stamp collecting and a boy's fascination with aviation! Neat alternate history where a famous pilot becomes president! 😊 #SARCASM #books #booksky #bookrecs #fascism

Some online say 'keep politics out of book communities!' So, starting a series on fun, neutral books: RED RISING (Brown, 2014): A sweet story about a driven young man who gets into an elite prep school & learns about networking! Great lessons about climbing the social ladder! 😊 #SARCASM #booksky

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

So, the shooter is anti-ice but just shoots detainees? Explain it to me like it’s not a major bumbling attempt to create a false narrative.

And these morons in the trump admin really think they're pulling this whole thing off too. Back slapping and high-fiving about how good they got those Antifa guys now. Absolute clown show. Not even good at crimes, cover ups, and conspiracies. Get a better plan you foolish imbeciles.

Here is some *interesting* information: • 9/23 at 12:20pm FBI airplane N708JH arrives to Dallas • 9/24 at 6:30am a shooting occurs at a Dallas ICE facility • 9/24 at 11:10am FBI N708JH departs Dallas en route to DC #ice #dallas #fbi

Heads up CHICAGO! DHS thugs flying overhead - track DHS Helicopter N893N on ADS-B globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ac51a5 Currently circling Maywood with unknown intent #chicago #ICEoutofCHI #chicagoinvasion #iceraid #fuckice

LA INCOMING: 0916, 4:05pm - Border Patrol Blackhawk N814KB which has been used in numerous raids previously is heading northbound along the SoCal coast. ADS-B: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ab191b • #iceraid #iceoutofLA #fuckICE #icealert @stopice.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

LA HEADS UP: 0916 2:40pm - This is sure far inland for the DHS operated USCG to be flying and straight for Down Town Los Angeles. Track chopper 6055 on ADS-B to keep an eye on what they're up to. If nothing else, it's an intimidation flight for sure. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ae6ce9 • #iceoutofLA

Expect a further escalation today Chicago resistance! Overhead we have DHS helicopter N203Z with unknown intent. Track the fed live on ads-b globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=a19f67 • #iceoutofCHI #dhs #chicago #ICEraid

SOME GOOD NEWS. What a hit and what a great call.

Breaking News: An ICE officer fatally shot a man in the Chicago area who was resisting arrest during a vehicle stop and tried to drive his car into ICE officers, a representative for the agency said.

www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/12/i... well this is all around a bad thing. #icealert #iceraid #iceoutofCHI #iceoutofLA

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

09/10 - 12pm PDT: Very likely a surveillance drone overhead Inglewood/Hawthorne/Willowbrook at the 110/105 interchange. Tracking out of March Air Reserve Base in Moreno Valley where previous Fed surveillance aircraft have originated. #dhs #iceraid #icealert #nokings #adsb

Heads up north Chicago region! DHS is overhead and that usually means they’re planning some kidnappings and harassment #icealert #iceraid

Feds may be up to something in LA: Army Nat Guard chopper making surveillance rounds over DTLA, MP, Alhambra. I've seen this airship previously and may be an emerging pattern. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ae600d _ @peopleoverpapers.bsky.social @iceblock.app (data only account) @stopice.bsky.social

Unconfirmed: Poss deportation flight. Interested in any info to the contrary. Tail number N996GA a GLF5, which was registered the the US DOJ until 2022, now owned by a known ICE contractor Tannjets, flew transatlantic Miami → Africa. Suspicious at best. @jjindc.bsky.social

Coast Guard 2706 lining up for landing at Alligator Auschwitz. Seeing increased transports in and out of the site. Could be related to the reports detailing a halt in construction and legal attempts to close the concentration camp entirely. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Before Monday morning's ICE pride parade at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, a US CBP Blackhawk helicopter (tail no. N814KB) took off from Coronado and landed at Long Beach before joining the show overhead. Anyway, this chopper is on the move again today. globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=ab191b JIC 👀

Sad game but proud to be a Duck! You know the program is in a good spot when not winning a natty is considered a failed season. Looking forward to another memorable season next year. As always, Go Ducks!

I read 39 books in 2024. Here’s my top 7 with reviews of my top 3 below.

Go Ducks! #b1gchamps

First undefeated regular season since 2010. First team to go undefeated in their first year in a new conference. 440 YPG. Allowing only 16 PPG. Heisman candidate QB. In the words of Coach Lanning: "Who cares?" Only thing that matters is what happens in Indy. 🦆 #GoDucks #CFBPlayoff #UOvsPSu

Never a doubt! 😤👎👎 #GODUCKS

Tired of living through future disaster movie b-roll tbh

11-0 😅😅😅

America.

Currently deep into 'Green Mars' by Kim Stanley Robinson (1994). There's something to be said about reading a 700-page book about terraforming another planet while doomscrolling about this one. The corporate politics are... surprisingly relevant? What's everyone else reading these days?

Made the difficult decision to leave behind an online community thats unambiguously just no longer for me. I’m hoping BlueSky truly is the greener pasture it appears to be. Good riddance Google+.
