I think it's highly limely that more ICE Agents have criminal records than the immigrants they are trying to arrest.

🤦‍♀️🤯. So, ICE shows up in your neighborhood AND YOU’RE just TRYING TO GET HOME. It’s freezing outside 6 kids in your car.. so OK genius Higbie tell me what they should have done. I’m all ears.👂 Perhaps ICE shouldn’t have been there in the first place… 😒

I'm not taking any stance on the validity and I certainly am not here to lecture the people of Minneapolis on how to endure the unendurable, but people aren't screaming that nonviolence isn't going to work because it has no history of success, they're screaming because it does & people hate it.

White supremacy explains many apparent contradictions. Conservative calls for free speech were always about freedom to use slurs without sanction. Calls for small government were always about denying Black folks rights and state protections. This is conservatives achieving their goals.

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Oh I love this.

Has anyone made the connection that these ICE assaults, because let’s be honest they’re assaults, are concentrated in Ilhan Omar’s district & she is up for reelection in 2026?

Also: you CANNOT fucking pull a gun on someone while filming on your fucking cell phone. If as a LEO your judgment is the situation has reached the point where deadly force may be warranted & you need your gun out, not having your full attention on it is at BEST depraved indifference to human life

Just look at this happy warrior. Makes me proud to be from the Land of Lincoln.

That Maduro bet may be the pinnacle of financial nihilism to date, in that it raises the question of whether gambling markets are now directly setting political policy. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

I just watched Hank's new video. Let's review the reasons plastic is bad: a) it uses fossil fuels b) it's getting everywhere. It seems like this video proves that a) is irrelevant...so why don't we solve b) using a hole in the ground. @hankgreen.bsky.social 1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=325H...

Not even hypocrisy. Apples and oranges. One was trespassing and involved in a violent insurrection. The other was in a public space exhibiting her right to peacefully protest. There was zero threat.

The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

ICE didn’t just shoot a woman, they blocked the ambulance. Eyewitnesses say thugs parked SUVs to delay lifesaving care and refused to let a doctor reach her body. Then DHS spun a story to justify it. It’s murder. Call it out.

This is a very sad sight to watch for so many reasons

IR people who decry gender studies or arguments are fish refusing to believe the study of water is important.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

This looks like 1,000 videos I've seen from authoritarian states

Ban stock trading by lawmakers in Congress. Full stop.

Hidden within every Republican is a human being still capable of telling fantasy from reality. We just have to figure out how to help them get in touch with their inner human.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

NEW: A judge in the Kilmar Abrego case just UNSEALED a Dec 3rd order showing DOJ lied to the court when it said that Blanche's office didn't have anything to do with the decision to prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Do you need an airplane to fly across the country? (The short answer is: No, you can build your own airplane.)

Want to see what Marco Rubio sounded like in 2016 before he sold his soul for a little bit more power and the chance to remain relevant in a corrupt and fascist Republican party?

At this point, Trump is not a mere politician but a symbol—a representation of the Schmittian capture of America under his watch. If you're a supporter, you know with full conviction that there's nothing you can do that he wouldn't pardon. You support Trump—that's the only thing that matters.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Soon after the county announced charges against Clint Massie, the sheriff began receiving calls from alleged victims across the U.S. Two of them, he realized, were sisters. Neither knew what had happened to the other, or that each had come forward. With @startribune.com

This probably isn’t a good idea. Are sailors really going to want to be assigned to the USS Pedophile?

Boycott CBS.

He’s almost there Donald Trump’s a victim A victim mentioned thousands of times in charging papers and a personal friend to the perpetrator Make them say it

The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night. We are watching a cover up in real time. This is file 468.

See that’s the kind of talk that gets you buried in an unmarked grave on a second-rate golf course

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers. I use social media to talk to people about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

Instead of a thousand words. Our kids live their childhoods under Russian attacks and in the darkness 📹: nadiia.valerievna

it's not great that the President makes up so much random bullshit that he can publicly declare acts of war and everyone has to wait and see if they're real or not

I wonder if people nicked named "Al" as short for e.g. "Albert" are suffering from discrimination lately because in a lot of fonts it's hard to tell their name apart from "AI" as in "Artificial Intelligence."

I'm oleander-critical. King Mithridates didn't poison anyone with oleander honey, because oleander has no nectar, as everyone knows.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Russia has lost over 1% of its pre-war male population of fighting age to take just 1.45% of Ukraine's territory the last 3.5 years.

Progressives are missing an opportunity by failing to tie the pro-natalist and pro-immigration arguments together. Old people think Elon’s robots are going to change their bed pans, but their only actual hope is currently being abused and deported. newrepublic.com/article/2040...

LEAVE! Leave now. Pass Go. Go around the board twice. A man who isn’t happy about your accomplishments will work double time to make your life a living hell. Ask me how I know. LEAVE.

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"
