@artsmia.bsky.social , consider supporting a Minnesotan artist that had to the flee the Us due to homelessness and is now painting works like these in Mexico. I applied to work for you awhile back and have been through your doors many times. This piece should be in Minnesota with my people

Don't let Bovino be the sacrificial lamb.

Him getting canned doesn't absolve ANYONE in ICE.

Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but good because fuck that guy.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Jonathan Choe (Turning Point USA) has arrived in Minneapolis.

Choe, identifies as a journalist, but works for a PAC that supports Trump.

He claims he was detained by State Patrol during chaos and confusion.

He’s an agitator, propagandist at best.

Heads Up Minneapolis!

MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.

They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Damn, who could have guessed a bunch of Democrats teaming up with a fascist political party to censor the violence in Gaza by forcing a popular social media platform to sell to a coalition of fascist billionaires would also end up also censoring fascist violence here. Do you think anyone told them?
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

2A freedom fighters not speaking up during the ICE siege of Minneapolis is perfectly consistent.

THEY can and should have guns.

YOU shouldn't.

This is because they're cowards. They need guns to feel safe from the scary world around them. If YOU have guns, they no longer have an advantage over you

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

This isn't an angle I've considered before, but after reading this, it seems obvious.

I think Gwen's right.
I actually think it's pretty easy to explain.

Younger people didn't buy into an older neoliberal elite's prejudices, the older neoliberal elite absolutely lost their shit at the notion that they might be called on to change, and fascists exploited that reactionary moment
Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

"Centrists" are extremist capitalists. How many human lives have they sacrificed and how much human misery are they willing to impose to maintain the socioeconomic status quo that allowed them to achieve their positions of wealth and power?
the legacy of centrist democrats is that they killed medicare for all, let nazis rise to power, and bitched abiut eggs while the gestapo started the new holocaust

We're past trials. If you're ICE, you're guilty. If you're Trump admin, you're guilty.

If your paycheck comes from these supremacist groups, you're guilty.

The CoD games are right-wing, CIA-backed propaganda. "Former" CIA agents sit in leadership positions at EA.

This is the end goal of decades of direct, controllable propaganda.
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I'm always amazed at how thoroughly, mindlessly corrupt both major parties of the US political system are, and how people seem to ignore it.

Both are nothing but bribe funnels while working in tandem to strangle any threats to their respective bribes.
This is why the AI bubble is bigger than anything we've ever seen. Big Tech owns both parties and regulation is nonexistent. That's why AI is out of control, stealing copyrighted material, convincing people to commit suicide, and is operating like a CSAM factory. All of that is illegal.
Big Tech and AI lobbying 'skyrockets' under Trump — and experts are sounding the alarm
From Alphabet to X, eight of the largest tech giants spent a record of $71 million combined on U.S. political lobbying in 2025, according to a new report from Issue One, a bipartisan nonprofit working...
