Logging on and discovering that you are God to some random cult might be the most terrifying online experience lmao

Listening and learning from the bizarre land known as "Britain" in which a scandal may cause a political official to resign rather than post an AI video of them dumping their own feces out of a F/A-18E Super Hornet on social media. Truly an alien culture.

DHS is now the NKVD spying on and knocking on the doors of dissents archive.is/FhDwF

Chicago students, we salute you! On Monday, students at Roosevelt, Mather &other north side Chicago high schools walked out to protest the Trump administration's deportation atrocities & to advocate for immigrant communities. We applaud these young leaders, fighting for justice now & for the future.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

More relevant than ever

If the government has nothing to hide, the government has nothing to fear

🤳❌💰🧊 There's no time to lose! Call your senators, and tell them to vote NO on funds for DHS & ICE, vote NO on the spending bill. Find your senators' contact info here: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

There's a woman on this train who literally grabbed the flag off of the side of her house pole and all to bring to the protest

Don't go out into >3 inches of snow in non waterproof boots, kids

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

CHICAGO SHOWED OUT. Here's the start of our day of protest. #AbolishICE @caarprnow.bsky.social @chicago-cata.bsky.social @icirr.bsky.social @ocadchicago.bsky.social

📢❌️🧊 Today, 1:00 pm - Ida B. Wells Dr. & Michigan Ave. Bundle up - be there, Chicago!

Protest breaks out at Dilley immigration detention facility holding 5-year-old Liam Ramos www.tpr.org/border-immig...

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Proud Kristol Democrat

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Steal His Look (OSHA rated chemical and impact resistant goggles are OP)

I find the timing odd that yesterday thousands took the streets in Minneapolis peacefully protesting and this morning someone else is murdered.

ICE just shot another person in Minneapolis @apnews.com

Today I learned that ~75% of my church's congregation are gun nerds, which wouldn't be surprising if it wasn't for the fact that my church is Episcopalian

The Jackson Family experienced a traumatic incident during a peaceful protest that left them w/o a car & unable to work or care for their six children. Please consider donating or sharing their GoFundMe link to support them during this difficult time. Thank you. www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him

Yesterday I saw MAGA freaks arguing that liberal women are on SSRIs and hallucinating so they're attacking ICE agents. In my naïveté, I thought "that's the most delusional explanation I'll see for awhile" just for this to come sliding in less than 24 hours later. These people's brains are gone.

As He died to make men holy LET US DIE TO MAKE MEN FREE

Randomly met @illinoismanfella.bsky.social in a bookstore today when they saw my NAFO backpack

We are not here to debate. We are here to dismantle. ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.” It’s intentional. It’s deadly. This weekend we gather to demand accountability — and to build power. #ICEOutForGood ❌🧊 Find an event near you: social.demcast.com/s/ptlja1Z7

I am pretty much the archetypical "moderate Democrat" and normally I get very excited about words like "institutions" and "bipartisanship." But this is not the time. And it is absolutely maddening to me that these people can't see this.

P2025 Durbin strikes again

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

Action organized by Immigrant Rights Working Committee of CAARPR: 🚨EMERGENCY PROTEST & VIGIL TONIGHT🚨 Gather at Little Village Arch in Chicago to protest the brutal murder of a community observer in Minneapolis by ICE. ❌🧊 Little Village Arch, 26th and S. Troy Today, Wednesday 1/7 at 7:30 PM

Dispatch from the front line of the information war today:

What's the functional difference from shooting a protester from the side of their car three times and then physically blocking medical aid and hanging a protester?

Protests breaking out across Iran. LFG. Liberty needs a win.

Why is bluesky

I often think about Orwell and his rage at leftist thinkers getting so far up their own asses into theory that they forget that the real world exists outside of the ivory tower

Sorry poor people, we can't help feed you until the Revolution
