“For weeks, Democrats have pushed to require ICE agents to obtain the necessary judicial warrants ahead of any murders they plan to commit,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a joint statement on the current Homeland Security funding bill

Statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council in support of a General Strike and Day of Truth & Freedom on January 23rd.

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue

If simply acknowledging the FULL history of this country makes you uncomfortable imagine how those on the shit end of the stick feel. Then tuck in your main character feels and get to work. Like the rest of us are.

our wife is an Oscar nominee @solomonmissouri.bsky.social

Ryan Coogler’s blues-steeped vampire epic “Sinners” led all films with 16 nominations to the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday, setting a record for the most in Oscar history.

I was just watching this series of videos of this woman who was assaulted in a club and injured and the club reacted terribly but her "friends" failed her so much. I really need y'all to actually care about the people you hang out with.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

This part. Right here.

The least of my worries is some dork overseas hating me man my neighbors are kidnapping & killing my other neighbors

Anyone who thinks European libs "suddenly now" hate the US is a fucking mark Europe has used USA as a foil to disavow their own European colonial history and racism for decades, European libs and even leftists insisted racism only exists in the US and that USians are *various phobic stereotypes*

it's the same picture.

"did you see my story in signal" is a waste of typing. no I did not because why would I do that? why would YOU do that?

It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

It needs to be said that it is extremely telling of what role ICE is ultimately playing in society that schools respond to it as though its a horde of potential mass shooters.

Great feedback, team. Keep it up.

I get the jokes about ICE coming to Philly next and haha we're not the one. But first, they're already here. A man died. Neighborhoods are being terrorized already. And if there is a larger presence coming our neighbors need support and help preparing so maybe add that to making jokes, okay?

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

I cannot stress enough that the admin would still be doing the shit they are currently doing if the Epstein files never even existed. Not everything they do is related to the Epstein files.

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything

trying to spend some time testing staging.blacksky.community so we can all get up out of whitesky. also there's @spacelawshitpost.me over here. win/win

Bluesky runs an appview. Blacksky runs an appview. A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever. To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline. One has new posts from Łink. One doesn’t.

I see the ICE just got onto Bluesky and was immediately put on the "literal fascists" block list. LOLOLOL

“don’t take the bait” is the latest utterly meaningless catchphrase some liberal think tank cooked up, anyone saying this is not plugged into what’s happening and can’t and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

North Minneapolis has organized patrols. People been making sure kids get to and from school just like im other places. For days. North Minneapolis residents have been organizing food distribution here and all over the metro..

Philly's not even one of the big ICE target cities right now but folks are dying and communities are being terrorized. It's more than what you're seeing getting national attention. Everyone needs to be connected to their community and ready to protect each other.

it seems impossible now that at one time in my life I'd spend all day all week with people then go out with the same people on friday nights. truly a ploycule with no benefits.

this is such a great conversation. made my morning today.

I just watched this cute video of someone opening a gift from their mom and realized it's been years since mine was capable of giving me anything. and that I'll never get another gift from her. I'm not sure what the last one even was. mourning someone who is still alive is hard and confusing.

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

blacksky coming through for the people. again.

I am begging: Do not learn how to do activism or organizing from social media influencers. Do not join massive unvetted Signal groups promoted by “revolutionary” influencers. If you want to be an activist, you need to be embedded in local community with people you know and trust. I am BEGGING here

Nothing captures the messaging gap between this country's parties like the way Republicans whip their supporters into frenzy over things that aren't real and how dems will look at kids being flashbanged by an occupying force of secret police and say "pls don't do anything dad is gonna be mad :["

American cops 🤝 American feds Absolutely will on purpose shoot you in the fucking face, shooting your fucking eye out if they feel like it, and they do

hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk

Rest In Power

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder. Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

wait, hell got another pile of shit today?

I was trying to help a friend get her mind off something and told her about the time I got my hair caught in the velcro of one of my wrist braces and she laughed so hard she fell off her bed and sprained her wrist which was a distraction so I did a great job there 😭😭😭

If only there was someone who could do something. Like an official? Responsible for the city? I dunno, someone like that.

white people desperately trying to protect policing as they notice the rising consensus for abolishing ICE

This whole list is good but this is the key: they are coming to your town too, the time to organize is now not once they touch down.

We’ve been trying to tell y’all for years.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

I just watched a video of this woman talking about how she burned her actual butt from a pot pie and I may never stop laughing because WHAT DO YOU MEAN 😭😭😭😭😭

If they don't, what happens next is on Democrats, too. Hold the perpetrators accountable or give ICE permission to summarily execute civilians at whim. These are the stakes.
