Dev techniques like this are fascinating, and you can learn a lot of cool tricks from seeing how it's implemented. Also, you should go play Tactical Breach Wizards.

Plugged away today to make sure that Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars will be invested to continue funding all this:

I just thought everyone should see this

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

With a walking lighthouse simulator and a pottery warrior brawler, it's sad to see that Double Fine has just become another trend chaser

"I'm with the executive branch. This warrant, issued by the executive branch, says I can enter your home"

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

Worse still, father and son were sent to *different* detention centers. This is the kind of evil that shouldn’t be able to hide behind “just following orders.”

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

average bluesky user

it's this kind of shit that makes me insist on the specific accuracy of the Nazi comparisons, these people arent being treated like property theyre being treated like vermin

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence. This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

X the Everything App is doing so poorly they have now started stealing ideas from Bluesky but doing it worse

Seattle Public Schools warned that ICE agents might be trying to draw out families who intended to bring their children home from school after news of ICE activity.

One of the Seattle middle schools where students had to shelter in place today because of ICE activity is named after a US citizen of Japanese descent who was sent to the Minidoka concentration camp as a teenager.

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Important perspective from Greenland.

A normal attorney who was the subject of this memorandum would walk into the ocean and never come back

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"

this MLK Day, if you care about rights & have a mind for resistance, read his "Letter From Birmingham Jail" now. it's a must read. "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." nul.org/news/letter-...

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.

Literally, kidnapped!

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

“Wolverine looking at picture” meme but for RAM

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

This is a great analogy but I’d add that since we were allies with Denmark, perhaps Japan or Korea would fit better.

This, right here 🎯💯. I’ve been trying to communicate this to people, as a native 🇨🇦, for a year now. Again, the fact that this wasn’t immediately seen as a presidency-ending, beyond-the-pale thing for all 535 Congresspeople, the media, & the public is deeply ugly & shameful for us as a country.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

That is an AMAZING ad. Standing ovation.

Reminds me of one of my favorite memes:

insofar as regional identity is one of the things driving pushback, Philly seems like a bad target also insofar as i've met people from Philly, Philly seems like a bad target

Im sure it’s already been said, but sending ICE to Minnesota might end up being Trump’s Operation Barbarossa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

Incredible report on how patriotic Americans in Minneapolis are dealing with the invasion of Miller’s Gestapo.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

My last two shots before my world went dark.

has anyone done a wellness check on Nick Adams (just to make sure he’s not doing well)

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.
