Imagine where we could be right now if even 10% of GOP voters made the choices Bill Kristol & George Conway have made instead of what they did in November 2024. Imagine where we could be if only 23 GOP officials in Congress could find an ounce of patriotism & courage now: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Democrats in 1996 caused Trump’s thugs to murder legal citizens in 2026. You heard it here first.

Imagine saying the problem today is ICE “decided to enforce the laws” to own the libs.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.

This taek only makes sense if you ignore the massive differences between the U.S. and other western democracies. Also, you seem to think the U.S. is just and fair and not racist or sexist.

i like to take breaks from being Online, but they arent very long cuz i need to make sure everyone is still insane

My simple take is that if you use the murder of yet another person by Trump's goons as an excuse to hate on Democrats you're pretty much lost and any attempt to return you to your senses is effort that needs to be spent elsewhere at the moment.

I don't want to amplify this account but I do want to point out that actually Gandhi's nonviolence worked out pretty well

"I'm not even mad at you dude" "Are you okay? The language of modern day terrorists, apparently.

Love it. Make blue states better til the rest of the country catches up.

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE. 518-474-8390. This is important.

this is correct and the more people who call it out, the better. if you are blaming democrats, you are doing the republicans work. PERIOD.

You can guess the top comment on this actually fantastic post.

Yes.

Accelerationists don’t like what accelerationism brings.

Stop blaming billionaires too. There are only 924 billionaires in America as opposed to 245M eligible voters. They can't buy your votes. Voter apathy and white supremacy has led to today.

Now this is true.

Sigh. True.

White Americans have long been able to safely assume that their whiteness would shield them from the most violent and arbitrary uses of state power. But history also shows us that white people who stand up for their fellow humans who aren't white can inspire murderous rage. bsky.app/profile/atru...

checking in on the republicans social media now. a lot of silence In the last hour Lindsey Graham is posting about carbon monoxide poisoning hazards. Massie posted a cartoon attributed to "Nicksdankmemes" of Trump shoving him out a window

This is pathetic and even worse millions are ready to buy it.

I don’t recall the civil rights movement asking for now caring about elected officials doing photo ops. They wanted laws changed/executed justly.

Thank you! Finally.

Boom.

Probably because I live 10 minutes away from ICE hq in Massachusetts, and we’re protecting our neighbors here. ICE is everywhere. I’m sick of you fucking people. You don’t have a fucking clue what is happening on the ground. We aren’t advertising it to the government on BlueSky, you idiot.

/8 And as your fellow Americans — neighbors, colleagues, even family and friends — justify this and even celebrate it, that they would absolutely do the same if you were murdered — only thin circumstance prevents it. Treat and mistrust them accordingly.

This.

Another reminder that as busted as the Times is in their c-suite, their video analysis team is routinely excellent

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Everyone’s dunking on the gas mask part but don’t sleep on “they’re well written” 🤣🤣🤣

I wish deep within my straight white cisdudeness this would be true.

Waiting for the armchair experts in Supremacy Clause and law enforcement self-defense claims and our current federal courts to rush to say “NOT FAST ENOUGH DEMS”

People who think they are teaching the party a lesson through their vote are playing a fantasy game in their minds. Such lessons do not and cannot exist in a mass democracy. Each election is a brand new attempt by candidates to win a majority; it is not a reiterated step in an ongoing game.

A lot of people in 2024 who wanted to "teach Dems a lesson" suddenly don't like the syllabus. And they especially don't like that they rewarded Trump with so much power that nothing can be done about it until 2029. They said this was their 1968. Welcome to Kent State.

I guess I was reading “you can take my gun from my cold, dead hands” in a very different tone than the NRA intended it.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

“Why aren’t Democrats telling people who believe they have complete immunity that they don’t have complete immunity?” is the height of extremely online leftism.

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

ICE is executing protesters the right way. by Ezra Klein

To the reflexive haters, “gathering more information” = building a legal case for arrest and prosecution that won’t be laughed off by courts, ICE and Trump. Also, if you translate this from Minnesota nice it’s 🔥🔥🔥

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

To put a finer point on it: Republicans have embraced the “insurrectionist theory” of the Second Amendment—the notion that you have a constitutional right to stage an armed rebellion against the government if it becomes tyrannical. Now they’re lining up to say ICE can shoot any armed protester?

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

Also, look up 1957 Arkansas for a crash course in “who controls the National Guard”.

I’m calling it now: MAGA scumbags will mock him for being a male nurse.

Taking a closer look after a prior thread I deleted & something I’ve noticed more & more is that many of these agitating white Canadian accounts talking about “what Americans aren’t doing” have that weird AI lighting sheen on the faces of their avatars. IYKYK Be mindful of whom you engage with yall
