If ICE murders a baby, JD Vance and the dog killer would be blaming the baby for it.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever. If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

I feel like Sarah is getting at an important truth about our chattering classes placing more importance on language games than the facts and concepts communicated by language. "How do you feel about the president being called a pedo protector," not "How do you feel about him protecting pedophiles."

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

not exactly a healthy market, huh

Do NOT give people home or business addresses in Bluesky DMs. Bluesky DMs are not currently encrypted. You should only do that in Signal.

i serve the lord not a draft dodging coward goes way harder than it has a right to tbh

I’m guessing this is how I found out Scott Adams died.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.

You know I used to think the bit in the bad Batman movie where they lure all the cops into the sewers and seal them in was unrealistic but I’m coming round

Extremely unusual that the Bluesky team is working late on a Sunday night to verify Canadian political parties and elected officials who are rumored to be mulling over a coordinated X ban with Australia and the UK. When there's smoke, there's fire.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

dark comedy idea - anime in which protag thinks theyve been isekai'd but actually theyve just been kidnapped by north korean agents and brought to north korea

Interesting take about the relationship between SV culture and its strangled density growth contributing to fascist sentiment among SVVC class

A theory: tech converged on the "global village" metaphor because SF is small both physically (47 sq mi) and demographically (870k). If it had been allowed to grow into a real city, maybe we'd have been spared these metaphors. It all comes back to housing, is what I'm saying.

This feels a bit like an inflection point and an opportunity for @eurosky.social

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

I have a note: journalists shouldn’t post AI slop in a time of national crisis

"A chronic, devastating cancer in American society is prominent Democrats outright refusing to share their constituents' urgency and horror in the face of what is being done to society by Republicans..."

ryukishi07 is really remarkable. he's like... the worlds first "lolicon" guy to get so into girls that he got into what they grow into. it's really something. I didn't think that could happen.

are you kidding me? It says *excellent* things about the state of the novel. The merit of a thing is not its capacity to insert exploitation.

now I'm not a marriage scientist but I suspect that discouraging online dating is not going to *increase* the number of marriages that happen

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

Macross M3 is a Flight-Combat Sim based on the classic 80's anime, Macross. Players pilot Valkyries, Fighter-Jets that transforms into mechs - to wage war against the Zentradi. Unfortunately the Space Opera turns into a tragedy, marred by awkward, cumbersome controls, and severe performance issues.

The Threads vibe is so hard to describe. It’s dire and dumb and full of engagement farming but then you also get accidental perfect posts like this.

Mikumo from Macross Delta!! I absolutely adore her and she's my favourite idol her voice is so beautiful and powerful. I wish I knew more people who loved Macross because it's such a wonderful franchise 💜🫶

Accurate. You will understand Hideaki Anno infinitely better when you start watching tokusatsu.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

still a very very solid space combat experience. Doesn't waste your time and gets you into the thick of it, with an easy to learn, hard to master flight and combat model. I still can't leave my shield at home to master jump tricks.

The USA has the capacity to do anything it wants, to anyone, anywhere. But it cannot control the consequences of choosing to do it.

with all of the stories about the rise of solar energy we’ve seen in the last few months it kind of feels like America is doing regime change in order to secure the rights to billions of dollars in blockbuster gift cards
