I don’t understand how conservatives expect multibillion dollar industries to make decades-long investments into infrastructure based on policies that change every few weeks

​Yeah a $2.50 coin is exactly what we need /s

Somebody, somewhere, signed off on posting this to Bluesky. Hoo boy that’s bad.

🤷🏼

My “there is no threat to El Paso airspace” shirt is raising a lot of questions answered by the shirt.

it must be incredibly embarrassing to conduct a monthlong racist smear campaign against NYC’s first Muslim mayor, and then whine about not being invited to events held by the mayor you won’t stop attacking

JD Vance getting lip fillers is so fucking funny

a thing we have to be careful of is that all these people, especially Epstein, had a hugely exaggerated view of their own power and loved to claim they were responsible for shit they had very little or nothing to do with.

Raise your hand if you feel bad for them. No one?

All six U of Illinois college republicans must be embarrassed

This is the dumbest idea I have yet seen.

it’s a good day to be a Bari Weiss hater

Eg Bari Weiss and co

​Let’s watch this one. Tim Walz said that kids hiding from ICE goons were a little bit like Anne Frank, and everyone from the head of the ADL to the Holocaust Museum dogpiled on him. Temu Röhm will be condemned even more forcefully, right?

@governor.pa.gov this sucks and you need to apologize. The next democratic president is not going to be elected on being nicer to ICE.

Libsoftiktok, aka Chaya Raichik, one of the most hateful people on the internet… is attacking nurses for condemning the murder of Alex Pretti. This is the same lady who bragged about being a stochastic terrorist

Huh. Punish the children for the crimes of the father

​Somehow flew under the radar yesterday - JD Vance managed to write a Holocaust Remembrance Day post that neglected to specify who the victims or perpetrators of the Holocaust were.

Direct. Incitement. To. Violence.

Why cant people condemn the murders of 2 innocent American citizens without placing blame on the murdered alongside the murderers? “All sides” dont need to deescalate, ICE needs to stop murdering Americans. Minnesotans dont need to embrace compassion over fear, ICE needs to leave them the hell alone

I have never run a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and educating new generations on the history and legacy since. But if it did, I do not think I would go on record as pro-ICE.

Blunt rotation: John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Tucker Carlson, Piers Morgan, Richard Branson

Endlessly critiquing power, as a wise woman once said

JD Vance’s guru: ​The American left has completely adopted Palestinianism - everything is done to provoke law enforcement for a clip to create martyrs. None of these people actually care about this guy beyond how useful his corpse is in the fight against the Orange Man

Half of trumps supporters would cheer for elections being cancelled altogether. An elaborate conspiracy is a bit much

wtf is a hicklib??? I thought the honest people of the rural hinterlands were the keepers of all morality?

The lesson here is smearing an advocate for children is a failing strategy. It might seem effective, but all that’s being accomplished is building a coalition of those who love seeing dead kids, and those who are indifferent depending on the ethnicity/religion of the dead kids.

There’s an important lesson here, and it goes like this: the horrors of the world are made no less real or potent for viewing the video of a murder once or twice or a dozen times. You aren’t a sponge for society’s evil. Knowledge is power; self punishment isn’t knowledge.

The moment the first agent pulls his gun: Alex Pretti is on his knees with three goons holding his torso. This is an execution.

@steznotstez.bsky.social Jake, the thing you need to understand is that your experience is a product of your own choices. You don’t dislike Nazis. You love them, that’s why you hang out on Twitter and feel comfortable there.

Ms Rachel Derangement Syndrome has another victim

I blame the media: Nonviolent protests get no coverage. Condemnation of violent protests gets coverage, even if the violence is imaginary. Outrageous, provocative, or stupid protests sometimes get right-wing outlets covering them.

I am a big fan of the Thin Blue Line separating order from chaos. It’s a wonderful theory that should be put into practice.

The complete and total impotence of Minnesota Police Chiefs is on display here as they admit that American citizens rights are being violated (in particular, off duty police officers who aren’t white had ICE agents pull guns on them)… but they won’t endorse protesters or protect their civil rights.

Somewhere along the line we were taught to believe that education, infrastructure, commerce, justice etc would prosper best with as little oversight and as few resources as possible. Maybe the lack of that first one is what caused all this, but people are dumb and irresponsible and it sucks.

To be fair to Senator McDumbass, he is expressing his sorrow that ICE has not yet lived up to its potential

Unironically this

The Trump admin has already lost. They will have to leave, at some point

The Shapiro-interview debate shows how many people have never done a background check. The questions exist so that they can sidestep litigating your past actions (based on info they might have now or may acquire in the future) and instead take action based on the fact that you knowingly lied.

DOJ: we don’t care if ICE agents kill innocent American citizens on the street. Also the DOJ: disrupt a church service? Right to jail

The reasoning is something like “were chemical agents used against human beings? No, against illegals. Totally different.”

I’m really terrified of what horror stories are going to come out of ICE’s reign of terror.

recorded this last week

the Stancil thing really does drive home how much greater import some people place on having a completely correct billfold of opinions than actually doing something worthwhile in real life

ICE may marginally reduce the number of school shootings by giving jobs to people who would otherwise be be school shooters

terrific conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social about what's going on in his home minneapolis right now. at the end he puts it very bluntly: ICE is not an immigration agency that just needs some technocratic reforms. ICE is a terror agency operating under the fig leaf of immigration.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them
