The changes of our times go beyond Trump or Brexit or any particular figure or national event. Nor is ours a time of reduced support for liberalism. Instead, writes @polphilpod.bsky.social, the center-right worldwide is collapsing into fascism, while liberals consolidate the opposing political bloc.

Lifting the curtain on extraordinary accounts of orphaned elephants going above and beyond to help their orphan – and human – family. Think Emily forming a circle around her Keepers when lions approached and Tundani charging downhill to face predators: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/n...

I went to ICE headquarters yesterday to demand accountability. No one is above the law, and every single person who has been assaulted by an ICE agent deserves justice.   Our next steps are clear. No more funding for ICE. Investigations must begin. Kristi Noem must be removed.

This is one of those guys who thinks he can beat a bear in a fight.

Trump supporter Júnior Pena falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, are ‘all crooks’

I'd like to experiment with the aerodynamics of various sandwiches. Toasted? Rye? Roll?

I support Mega ICE detention centers. (the inmates are ICE)

Bluesky: Mainstream media is lying to us and are on the side of the fascists. Also Bluesky: I'm going to read just the headline from this mainstream media account and accept it as the truth.

I think we're reaching the burnout stage for a lot of people on here. This is different from the crashout stage, which is characterized by blind panic. The burnout stage is when accounts just start posting cranky mockery in response to Democrats doing literally anything, like kids in need of a nap.

This but Abolish ICE

only finished 2% behind an unopposed candidate

well since @sunnmcheaux.bsky.social doesnt post on here like that, I figured I'd share his video here for him Because of a time like this

This has been a mission of the Congressional Democrats. All of their communications and files obtained from the agencies are safely stored (for now) from the executive reach.

Live updates: Free to access * More than 200 in Maine arrested by ICE so far, DHS says * Asylum-seeker taken by ICE had no criminal history in Maine, attorney says * Wife of detained man says he was moved despite habeas petition and judge’s order

The Rams lost and they deserved to lose because Puca Nacua has absolutely dogshit vibes and is a piece of shit

"They are a timely reminder that ultimately it's up to each of us as citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and hold our government accountable." Yes. We, voters, are responsible for our actions. And our inactions.

Being forced into work and cancelling all days off is one small hope of getting the MPD to hate ICE as much as we do.

This video on Reddit shows ICE agents in Minneapolis in the process of detaining a man who is struggling with them. Suddenly, one agent fires their gun, and then other agents repeatedly unload bullets into the body which becomes motionless. This is horrific to watch. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

This week’s Recap with Rick: voting no on more funding for ICE, rejecting Trump’s budget cuts to critical programs, and meeting with delegations from our Arctic allies

New #TikTok update gives the government access to your “sexual life” and sexual orientation

From 2006. Always listen to Veronica Mars.

Bus driver obviously has places to go, and he's not getting paid enough to go to Davos.

Remember folks, ammunition is far more important than a gun. An ak47 can fire 50k rounds before the barrel gives out. Old man ammo dump > gun enthusiast garage of guns

Bluesky has the magic of early social media (complimentary)

A bus driver in Lviv let a stray dog ride with him to keep the doggie warm. The driver is a war veteran. A lot of businesses in Ukraine are letting stray animals stay with them during this freezing weather.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Staying home in the face of Trump's potential presidency is absolute moral cowardice. There's no justification for not voting.

This is no longer about enforcing immigration law at all. I cannot fund an agency that has repeatedly abused its authority, violated due process and is operating in such a provocative manner under this administration.

Virginia's Democratic-controlled Senate on Friday approved a constitutional amendment that, if approved by voters, would permit lawmakers to redraw the state's congressional lines, potentially netting Democrats up to four U.S. House of Representatives seats.

Avelo Airlines ended their contract with ICE. How did organizers do it? "Like the historic grape boycott or the more recent Tesla Takedown movement, it required a mix of local and national organizing, direct action, and political pressure alongside the better-known boycott." We can fight AND win.

Firing Tomlin won't solve anything. All the problems with the Steelers leads back to the cheap-ass ownership who refuses to pay for anything. The only benefit of firing Tomlin is that you'll get a few years of 0-17 records that forces owners to care about winning in order to sell tickets.

Compared to Saturday and Sunday Bluesky is not being the Sports App

Sound like a homeland security issue with a lot of unrest. Perfect time to call in the National Guard.

sauvignon bloc

i believe the photographer who is taking the photo is Christopher Katsarov of the Canadian Press, and here is his photo

Argument against ICE coming from the right: Trump kept illegal immigration down perfectly in his first term without ICE going wild. Let's go back to that.

What makes this different from prior years is: 1) Weakening of Russia. Russia has lost influence everywhere (slava ukraini) and can't support their allies. 2) CW: praise for Israel and Trump. Yes, it turns out killing and destroying military targets does weaken regimes 3) An even worse economy

This is why it's a good thing all the Democrats are tying current news headlines to "egg prices" MAGA is losing appeal on immigration, law enforcement, and foreign policy so they're retreating back to the economy. Too late, Dems have already reminded people the economy sucks too.

There will always be a group of people who push violence and hate to gain power because they are sad, pathetic people. It takes constant vigilance to keep them out of power. Their uniforms don't matter. We can destroy the old ones, but they'll just invent new ones.

He worked as a police officer in Detroit, a city where daily challenges teach people to act quickly and take responsibility for other people's lives. Today Rebar is in the warehouse of hospital where every outing can become crucial for the injured.

The thing I always come back to is how many people never despaired against longer odds, and how arrogant it would be to put myself above them.

The National picks the most striking images from around the world

We should have never forgiven NYT for this stupid ass apology of an article for sane washing the WMD Iraq bullshit. They were shit back then and they're shit now. www.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/w...

Maduro's regime wasn't based on personality or personal loyalty to Maduro. He inherited a system created by Chavez with power split between multiple key figures. It's a hydra, not a snake. The Venezuelan government and military is still intact. They're still running the country.

I love Britta from Community (Gillian Jacobs) shows up in Minx as a feminist living in New York. Britta wasn't lying!

あけおめ！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

DK should be able to do whatever he wants to this guy, rt if you agree

All of these people are the last people we want influencing AI policy, even if you're a fan of AI.
