It’s exactly this morally clear

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

if you've recently updated your phone or the bluesky app and had previously turned off automatic autoplay for videos and gifs, you may have to go to settings and turn it off again (that was my experience, at least).

I have seen this photo like fifty times in my timeline and it's gorgeous yes but also it's giving me agita because she's like a centimeter from setting her own hair on fire, and I don't mean that in a metaphorical sense

Just when you’re thinking everything’s horrible. Via @danaelkurd.bsky.social, whose humor and heart also make things a lot less horrible.

if you're an authoritarianism scholar, please write that gambling for resurrection piece for a public audience you've been thinking of writing

this week, we examine Monday's security council meeting on Venezuela & consider whether the UN can survive its central contradiction laid bare again: what does it mean when the two pillars of the UN—the great power compact & the underwriting of post-colonial sovereignty—come into conflict like this?

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

Protests mounting against ICE in various parts of D.C. tonight. In the middle of the U Street corridor, occupying the intersection with 14th Street: “Remember Renee Good,” one of the many signs here reads.

please accept this photo of a dog who's wearing a turtleneck and has just received a greenie

start with what it is (not what it isn't) focus on why they're lying (not their lies) make it about them (not her) eat their frame

variety.com/2026/digital... every single bit of pushback matters

Safety will come from ICE agents experiencing consequences for unlawful actions. States should be able to impose legal consequences at the state level, and they have to at least try.

some people love quoting "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must." That was Athens saying that at the height of its empire. Few of those people seem to remember what happened to Athens the very next year.

This is incredibly well done, and totally damning. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

New: Gov. Hochul is set to propose an expansion of universal pre-K statewide, funding for Mayor Mamdani's 2-Care program and pilots of additional child care expansions in select parts of the state. The pair will be in BK this morning with more details www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

Five years ago, this great moment was captured on video:

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

The UN entities the US is leaving:

US withdrawing from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as well as the Framework Convention on Climate Change. Just a big f-u to nature.

good

one net effect of this will just be to make life a little harder for Americans in ways, they can’t quite put their finger on, because some of these organizations do the invisible work of multilateralism that enables contemporary life; another will be to hold up progress on most shared global goal…

framing ICE as an anti-civilian and unaccountable paramilitary organization strikes me as exactly correct (I mean substantively, I’m not talking about strategy)

We’re hosting a national rapid response call tomorrow night to go over concrete next steps. Please circulate - we need a national response. More details to come. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

the question of what to do with a violent organized group after you’ve decommissioned them is a serious one that a lot of policy and scholarly work explores, and we can’t treat the question as illegitimate. If your call to dismantle ICE is serious then it also implies that plan made seriously.

We're hiring for a campaigner to lead our work with local Indivisible groups in defense of immigrants under attack by this regime. Please apply or send around to folks you think would be a good fit! ats.rippling.com/indivisible-...

NEW: Mayor Mamdani addresses ICE terror in Minneapolis "The news coming out of Minneapolis is horrific. This is one part of what has been a year full of cruelty... We are going to uphold our sanctuary city policies. We are not here to assist ICE agents in their work”

Renee Nicole Good. identified by her mother after being murdered in front of her wife by ICE today. And then she and her murder lied about in an appalling, reality-denying, & cruel manner by our ostensible President. Together is the only way we build liveable todays & tomorrows.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

one of the funniest things about social media is the seeming compulsion absolute strangers develop for aggressively restating your point back to you

This is true. But what is happening is greater disillusionment with law enforcement and the criminal legal system. Majorities now regularly report that they do not believe people are treated equally under the law & that the system doesn’t work. That’s not a solution but it is a political opportunity

I used to work on a team with people who had to watch very bad videos professionally, and let me tell you, there is nothing that makes it worth it if it is not your job and your mission

In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

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

“You can’t kill us all, Nazis” is particularly remarkable and moving because ICE agents could of course kill everyone literally there

it is also all one thing, their lawless and aggressive behavior and their lawless and aggressive behavior abroad; they want domination and obedience, and they want you to praise their ugly hearts for the privilege of subjugating yourself to them.

Abolish ICE, and prosecute everyone involved.

if you haven't already turned off auto-video play, the best time to do it is now

looks like ICE just murdered someone in minneapolis. now let's talk about the price of eggs

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

RIP Hobbes you would have loved Calvinball (I'm sorry)

There are four Republicans currently serving in the House in seats in or near NYC. If Conway wanted to take a whack at the GOP, he could run in one of those districts. Instead, he's trying to steal one of the most liberal seats in the country, to make it more conservative. Fuck that.

This part has really stuck with me: www.thehandbasket.co/p/kavanaugh-...

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.” This is Nick’s story.

so sassy

if nothing else why not show ALL OF NATO, OUR ALLIES, that the AMERICAN OPPOSITION PARTY is AGAINST THE FORCEFUL ANNEXATION OF GREENLAND

get him out of office so these fucking lunatics don't try to TAKE GREENLAND BY FORCE
