Ok, bliss, but also stupidity has to go with it too.

Agreed. And in this case, intentionally ignorant. My sister is the same way. The way she was so proud to say it was very weird.

I want to tell those people to grow up. It's a social responsibility to be somewhat informed.

MsShaunaLouise @shawnalouise72.bsky.social · 9h

I have a co-worker who proudly told me today that she doesn’t follow the news at all.

Is it me or is that a very privileged thing to say and stupid thing to do, let alone be proud of it?

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

So here for this frog inflatable semiotics

Susan (George) Schorn @susanschorn.bsky.social · 2d

The inflatable is also an aesthetic inverse of the body armor cops are now routinely swaddled in, and their masks. A frog costume hides identity with comic rather than sinister signals. It protects vulnerable areas of the body by misdirection (where IS the frog's throat??), not accentuation.

Andrea Pitzer @andreapitzer.bsky.social · 3d

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

If human beings had a thousand souls, JD Vance would happily sell all of his. Then, sneering through his beard, he would tell you you're a loser for not doing the same.

Every sign in DC marks the loss of someone’s neighbor, someone’s loved one, someone’s friend.

Every sign marks yet another step in the march toward authoritarianism.

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.
