White ‘Moderates’ and Despotism: An Example from the Archive | Historian @wihorne.bsky.social looks back at a letter written by a Bucks County teacher to President Lincoln’s Secretary of War to draw lessons for today about resistance in the face of white supremacist threats to democracy.

On this day in 1847, Missouri passed an act that prohibited Black people from learning to read and write and assembling freely for worship services. The act also forbade free Black people from migrating to the state.

Well, lets talk about it. Here's a non exhaustive list of groups the gop has said they want to send to camps, or have actually put into camps/segregated from society 1. Black people 2. Indigenous people 3. Homeless people 4. Disabled people 5. Mentally ill people 6. Polticial opponents 1/x

URGENT: Gaza starvation took my son’s health, and now it’s stealing his sight. He survived hunger, but he’s going blind. I am begging you to help me save his eyes before darkness takes over. He deserves to see the world. Please help! Verified by: @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/5f2429cda

Yeah personally I can say this looked like police blitzing the park near my house and sweeping up a bunch of people for petty crimes while gleefully talking shit to anyone who may question them while threatening to “visit” people’s apartments.

“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups… “Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

I just think a country with no real social safety net to speak of could stand to tack a bit left

Also overnight, this Omni 767 landed in Cameroon. This is likely a third-country removal of non-Cameroonian migrants with withholding of removal orders to their countries of origin. Cameroon has been in an armed civil conflict since 2017, with deadly clashes occurring as recently as last Monday.

It snowed overnight. Now I don't want to go anywhere.

You can understand media consolidation into the hands of the very wealthy not just as a product of wealth concentration but also as a means to defend it, with Bezos at the Post being the most obvious example

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

"Kordia has been held at the Prairieland detention facility in Texas since then, despite a judge twice ruling that she poses no threat and may be released on bond." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Don't put nothing about me in no chat GPT

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Platforms bend over backward to help DHS censor ICE critics, advocates say Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem sued for coercing platforms into censoring ICE posts. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Why did they put a cop in a punk band British tv show? Like in the place the clash come from? why would you do that? Cops cannot be riot women I'm sorry thems the rules.

That one second with her was stolen from her father

In a functioning society, this evil company would be put out of business.

Y'all when I tell you that this current paradigm of "AI" being shoved down our throats does real, persistent harm, and that said harm will fall first on the most marginalized and then on everyone else, this is the shit I mean. I mean god DAMN.

Just finding out now that the CEO of Chuck E Cheese is mentioned in the Epstein Files

This is so deeply fucked. I wish these people would just admit they hate the idea of democracy and get it over with. This kayfabe bullshit is just silly at this point.

This small school district kept losing students to ICE. So it mobilized. wapo.st/4cvaYtc gift link

“As someone who’s an immigrant, who comes from places and has stories from relatives about what can happen when accountability of the government is not there, you feel even more motivation to protect what America has promised in the Constitution.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

I am in Newark New Jersey seeing New Edition, BoysIIMen, Toni Braxton... #blessedasfuck

I know the best fucking people in Jersey City.

The Republican agenda is cutting health care to fund tax cuts for the rich + concentration camps. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I had a very emotional day. Watched young ppl organize. Now I'm sitting in a bar while my son takes a girl for valentines bubble tea down the street. All the feeeeeelingsssss.

"We all know data centers are a need" nope. Nope they arent a need. Water is a need. breathable air is a need. Not data centers.

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.

When you think about it, weren’t we all kind of created because of amorous mothers, even if we aren’t radioactive terror hogs?

Mostly I miss Twitter for moments like this when I need to tell Terrence McDonald he's damned to hell for writing these words "Newsom/Sherrill ’28?"

Honestly if you want to know what will be coming in the future on the federal level listen to this podcast that goes over Florida state legislation from @jasongarcia.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

So much organizing happening In New Jersey. Map is filled ❤️

Ok we are staying near Derrydruel in County Donegal for a few weeks this summer. So northwest Ireland people, what are the must do things? We've been before to the area and done the major tourist stuff, but what local food, nature, art stuff would you recommend?

Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.

Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.

And Bonnie is retiring 😭. NJ needs better congressional people asap.

I try to imagine what this must feel like for people I know who have spent their entire career fighting to expand voting rights.

The NJ state Assembly committee advanced three immigrant protection bills BUT key protections were weakened. Bill A4071 (which codifies the ITD) would also allow deportation based on accusation, not conviction. As Katy Sastre said, "What we need right now are more protections, not less.”

Seeing a serena williams weight loss drug ad makes me incredibly sad. Must every woman shrink for you fuckers. Where are my embiggening ms marvel injections.

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

They are death camps Just because the death is currently haphazard and technically unplanned Doesnt make it less of a death camp

This is just unconscionable man

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”
