I find myself shaken by this one. Without criticizing the person who took the video, I don't think I could stand there and watch, and not shove the ICE agent and yell at the kid to run. And they could take me to jail for that, but I don't think I could just stand there and let them abduct a child.

The cruelty is the point.

I feel like the most "Bluesky is a sports app now" ramble is about why Jerry Reinsdorf won't sell the White Sox. Basically, if Reinsdorf sells the Sox, he has to pay capital gains on the different between the amount he purchased the team for and what he sells the team for. But...

Fascinating. China is already producing enough solar panels to replace the existing global energy supply in the next 10 years. But storage is a major issue, and in the meantime, it's upending markets all over the place.

Trump as a T-Rex impregnating European heads of state is some true weirdo pepe the frog shitposter thinking.

Let Bluesky cook

For 15-20 years now, we have seen tech companies' valuation be miles above their income or profitability because of speculation as to what they'll be worth in the future. That rarely happened with previous industries. Perhaps when the AI bubble bursts, that will end. in other words...

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

It is WILD watching the post WWII world order that ushered in previously unimaginable prosperity disintegrate in real time. Carney may not be my favorite on a lot of issues, but his leadership on this front is very good.

"The longstanding U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over and middle powers like Canada must pivot to avoiding falling prey to further "coercion" from powerful actors" says Canadian Prime Minister Carney www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If this turns into a trend, watch out. This is America's most critical weakness and obvious way for Europe, Canada, or China to absolutely tank our economy. It will take a lot more than a single Danish pension fund to do it, but if this is how the whole EU pushes back on Greenland, we're boned.

Can anyone explain why, for no discernible reason, I hate Carson Beck's face? I'm not trying to be mean, but I see that dude and I get mad about it.

I know the odds of this being true are vanishingly thin, but I really need someone to confirm this.

@minakimes.bsky.social Can you please put the tape of the interception in the Buffalo game that cost them their season side by side with the tape of the non-interception on the Rams last touchdown drive tonight? I honestly thought the BUF one was a catch, but then I thought the LAR one was an INT.

The lack of anger is offensive to me. This isn’t some theoretical debate in some bougie poli sci class. Mothers are getting shot in the face in broad daylight. If you aren’t going to go scorched earth over THAT, you need to resign immediately.

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

Every Dem should be saying it

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Swear to God, I trust people just a little bit more when they know what Hamm's is.

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

huge congratulations to @froggyblink.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the assignment on the first-ever skeet to feature a functioning $TSLA cashtag

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

I am just a pollster, standing in front of a bunch of elected Dems, asking them to lead on public opinion rather than hedge and tiptoe and moderate for fear an imaginary future backlash that will probably be manufactured by the right wing ecosystem anyway, regardless of what Dems do or don’t say.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

JD Vance: “This guy was hit by a vehicle & dragged just 6 months ago & needed 30 stitches, I’d say he’s probably a little jumpy.” The Vice President just handed Renee Good's family a negligence cause of action against ICE on a silver platter. He admits it was foreseeable that this could happen!

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism https://theonion.com/dhs-warns-any-action-by-americans-will-be-treated-as-domestic-terrorism/

It's so disheartening that Democrats have pivoted to using "lower costs" instead of "higher wages." We don't need cheaper goods. We need more money in the hands of the middle class. Lowering costs is almost impossible without contracting the economy and exploiting people. Higher wages is EASY.

"Minneapolis prosecutors must try. Not trying would make them complicit in this evil." Elie Mystal is probably my favorite legal scholar of this era. His moral clarity is without peer in the field.

There are violent thugs roaming freely on our city streets today. They just work for the government.

I just have to go full Chicago homer and say Elevated tracks FTW.

That Tampa Bay's owner had to sell because a hurricane screwed his relocation plans but Oakland's owner had like three stadium deals fall through boils my blood. I love baseball but it's so almost impossible to even like MLB.

Opened the app to say tell @espn.com I never wanna see Pat McAffee for any reason and this is the first post I saw. I can find that kind of bloviating roided out blowhard at every gym in the country.

Why is it that @espn.com airs NBA G-League game during the summer but can't put together a baseball clip show? I remember when they were a sports journalism outfit and not a bookie that broadcasts off-brand sports.

The only correct response to this kind of trash is, "shut up, you whiny lil bitch."

I used parental controls to lock myself out of all the apps that provide content on my phone and it's awesome. No Google/Safari/Instagram, even this one. Just email, maps,spotify, photos, and banking. Shit rules. Tune out! The world's happening out there. Not in here. Be free!

Seems like he's going to siphon voters away from Adams more than Zohran. Can anyone tell me how plurality results work in the general election? I assume it's a runoff, right? Or is it RCV in the general?

One thing that disappoints me about BlueSky is that Vance says something racist and everyone rushes to repeat it as if that’s not *exactly* what he wanted. Stop being dumb! Just ignore it! He wants free publicity

After trying to raid a baseball stadium we're just not that many steps from "ICE Deports Apple Pie"
