Feeling like my BlueSky days are numbered. One can only read “all Dems are shit” so many times before you’re forced to conclude the entire site might be one big GOP op.

Worth a read evwn if you arent a believer cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/01/ever...

How is it that a movie that has already been shown to the public has no, zero, nada reviews on IMDB? Asking for a Slovenian model

Sensible and recommended thread. 🧵

Call your senators, D or R. Let them know how you want them to vote. It matters.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We’re this close to having to buy and wear a lapel pin to prove that we’re true Americans.

“Democrats can now force such a debate. It will be a debate over ICE and the Border Patrol. But it will also be a debate that goes to the heart of what kind of a nation we are, and what kind of a nation we want to be.” www.thebulwark.com/p/how-dems-c...

Today would be a good day to call your Democratic senator and tell them not to fall for the okey doke.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social wears his heart on his sleeve. I like that about him.

Well, I think it's time for the Chicago way.

They murdered this little girl. They have no remorse.

1/27/2026 - Minneapolis ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone They did not have a warrant

The laugh I needed today. Maybe you too.

This is well-done www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1dy...

Not listening to anyone who says Alex Pretti put himself in harm’s way as a justification for his murder while simultaneously refusing to condemn Jonathan Ross for stepping in front of Renee Good’s car TWICE when anyone who’s ever watched a cop show knows not to do that even once.

Everything he writes is worth reading. None worth reading more than this. Long before the occupation, we were told a lie about Minneapolis open.substack.com/pub/thewhite...

As predicted earlier this would happen. No way they were going to risk Lyons testifying under oath on open court. Now the requirement for him to do so is eliminated.

Just three more sleeps!

Please watch. Share. As Ann says, it doesn't have to be this way.

Documentaries, even about the most fascinating, accomplished, world-changing lives are a hard sell at the box office. That’s what PBS is for. Then there’s a documentary about Melania. Let’s just assume Jeff Bezos needed a tax write-off and call it a day.

Their internal polling must be catastrophic. It is probably easier for Cruz to do a 180 than most. There's no friction thanks to the slime layer.

Paging the NRA…

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the San Antonio Express-News. They’re right. I bring the experience, the policy depth, and the fight this moment demands. I didn’t come this far to play it safe. I came to win for working people across this state. Let’s get to work! #JasmineForUS #TexasTough

Well, at least it’ll be easy for Bovino to fly under the radar in retirement.

And in those kind of situations, it’s best to say nothing until you have a clarifying fact or two. Unless your actual goal is to get an upper hand on a narrative, detached from fact but welded to self-interest

January 6 2021 was a moment of national crisis. For reasons best left to publicly-available evidence, the president of the United States did not address the crisis in real time. Something leaders do. We are now witnessing another such moment. And the president is again MIA. Tweets don’t count.

The key isn’t to notice and care about the murders of Good and Pretti bc they both looked like you. The key is to care about the murders of, for example, Philando Castile or Breonna Taylor even though they didn’t.

DAMN. Watch the whole thing.

Thing of it is, if you’re trying to somehow soften the story of your goon squad murdering people in the street, your best move might not be to send in the guy who looks and talks like the muscle galoot in every 40s gangster picture whose sole purpose in the movie is to beat up the hero.

“Full confidence and trust” goeth before the fall.

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

The BBC is the world's most respected broadcaster. @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social is its most respected fact checker. Here he analyses, frame by frame, what happened in Minneapolis. Border Patrol removed Alex Pretti's gun, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 shot him — TEN times in five seconds. The Trump regime is lying to us.

So, was this before Trump tweeted that he’s “sending in Homan” or afterward? Who’s running this fucking monkey farm?

Sensing that the Post’s strategy is to condemn the regime’s actions but do so using multi-syllabic words that MAGA won’t understand or bother to look up and therefore not appear in opposition.

Fact check: there are no “violent organized protests” in the streets that I have seen. The violence seems to be coming from one side, and it isn’t the protestors. Resistance to thuggery isn’t violence; it’s obligatory for a free citizenry.

This app sucks so bad. There’s a lot of nonsense on Twitter too. But it feels less concentrated than it does here. Also, it feels like a lot of people on here should know better by now. There is no reason to continue to be so damn deluded. What will it take for folks to wake up already? Seriously?

This Atlantic article on the growing Minnesota resistance is worth reading.

ICE agents are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. They already tore off part of a woman’s hand.

Convinced that Fox is paying Brady by the word bc the man. Will. Not. Shut. Up.

I remember reading, after she was murdered, that Renee Good moved Minneapolis bc she thought she’d find community and welcome there. After this weekend’s response there to another murder, it’s easy to see why.

Your local election board would love to have your participation. Make your plans now to serve as a pollworker.

The Seattle Seahawks crowd isn’t nearly loud enough afaic. I can still hear Brady yapping.

This is the decision of someone who knows he’s going to get booed relentlessly on a massive international stage every time they show his face on the Jumbotron.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I want for you whatever you want for immigrants

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
