The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

To my followers in the US: If you are able to - and if it is safe for you to do so - please get to a protest this weekend. We’ve reached the point where we need to be in the streets. It’s time.

yeah, i think something is happening. i don’t think people have been mobilized like this since at least 2020. i’m only in my info bubble so i could be wrong. but this feels like it’s a different scale of public activation than we have seen in years.

This is unsettling. A journalist and Minneapolis resident feels that he has to *evacuate his family* because of the federal government. 2025 was Wile E Coyote running off the cliff. 2026 so far feels like we realized it and are now in freefall.

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town. In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

who’s being shitty to trans men. stop it. those are the bros

you should hear what this man has to say

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Cis writers’ trans characters: “This is Lyrica Womanheart, her power is she has no definable personality beyond serving as a gravitational center for word boxes that vaguely gesture at discrimination and she SUPER strong.” Trans writers’: “This is Debby and she’s a bitch. I’m gonna torture her.”

Minneapolis is completely unsafe right now. ICE has been in 6 different Targets in the last 24 hours. They are setting up checkpoints on highways pulling all the brown people over. I scared away unmarked ICE from the market by our house after dropping kids off. #AbolishICE #Minneapolis

who up balkanizing they united states

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

If one can believe in the passage of time, it's been 13 years since my brave little pooch did nothing in the face of chaos. Thank u for allowing him to burn. 🙆 🙇

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

My roommate is a teacher and has reported that ICE has been hanging around Septa stops and depots in the interest of abducting kids on their way home because they aren’t allowed to enter schools. They claimed to be part of a “Septa Strike Force” which does not exist. Boost if you can.

the phrase “without further ado” is further ado

Seeing a lot of false postings out there. Despite the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's recent closure, PBS and NPR are still VERY MUCH ALIVE and active. They're just more dependent than ever upon the generosity of Viewers Like You! Please support your local station! pbs.org/donate

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

Considering most of the people doing this are paying for Twitter, I don’t think this is going to lessen it all that much

40% of Bluesky have been contestants on Jeopardy making us a very smart website but all of them came in third so its not like that impressive

oh word, might check it out

"hated Hulk Hogan" turning out to be a useful marker of allies in times of trouble

"finished that up, let me just open bluesky and WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED NOW" - me, six times a day

cool zone sucks, do not recommend

I need so many things to stop happening in so many places all at the same time.

oh no.

From a reporter for KGW News in Portland on X: Police are responding an incident in SE Portland- this is an OHSU Adventist Health Medical office. ICE agents are here. Unclear what happened.

ICE/CBP just shot two people in Portland.

So Dan knows what pirates are now?

Now would be a good time to re-read this article wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...

If you’re in Minneapolis and need a place to just BE right now, Big Hill Books and Birchbark Books & Native Arts are both open and ready to welcome you with open arms.

Okay, so it looks like the Bluesky search term lag is just long enough that it's missing the oldest reference to Jonathan Ross, the DHS agent, but was catching everything I thought to test for comparison. Apologies for the false alarm.

Quick reminder now that the killer has been identified

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.

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

don't bring your phone to protests, people. use a digital camera if you got one.

I understand the difficulty of indicting the guy when they don’t know who he is and all the evidence has been seized, but this is a really great way to get protesters and observers to decide the state won’t protect them against ICE, and start carrying, and then something really bad happens.

Just a day after an ICE officer killed Renee Nicole Good, in a widely condemned shooting, DHS says on social media that it is accelerating it's actions in Minneapolis and that will "not be impeded." Their post says: "See you on the streets!"

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.

good morning to everyone who can't focus today for shit

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

The advantage to working ass early is that you can watch a decent chunk of Awful Block on AGDQ

sometimes you remember that Pete & Pete are in I Saw The TV Glow

I've been bouncing off Donkey Kong Bananza a bit, but I just played it now and it felt so cathartic. On a day when it feels like there's nothing I can do as an individual, it sure felt good punching and wrecking shit in a video game.

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational
