Been one of the younger members of a large Facebook group of rock music critics and adjacent pop music lovers for 15 years now.
Mostly white men in their 60s and 50s who grew up on The Clash or Hüsker Dü.
Mods just banned a guy who’s been there since the beginning because he’s pro-ICE. Beautiful.

This is self-evidently true, and also apparently too difficult for many people to wrap their minds around
Seems that “abolish ICE” or, really, any political reference to ICE as a concept captures both ICE and CBP in one swoop, which may become a problem when it’s time to develop abolition policy, but in the meantime is a convenient rhetorical device.
All the focus is on abolish ICE but CBP seems honestly the worse of the two. Bovino, today’s shooting, and Ross was former CBP.

It's wild that the names of the victims are Good and Pretti. If it were a novel you would roll your eyes

The age of consent and unearned superiority
darkly amusing that when like a literal federal paramilitary is on the streets, one of the Reason writers is "can't we get along?"

Gonna drop this in here like a Friday night bad news dump, but we’re nearly 6 weeks post-op and my headaches are as bad as ever. Again, this isn’t quite evidence the surgery failed, but let’s say I’m not super optimistic right now.
Appointment with the surgeon Thursday. I’ll know more then.

Pretty fun when the Crown Victoria you’d assumed was a cop because it tailed you for a mile finally passes and reveals an Umbrella Corp bumper sticker.

remember when erick erickson was haha’ing about tossing his opponents out of helicopters?
The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.
miller is regularly blamed but vance is not held to any account at all for having started the chain of events that got us here

Not that I expect much strategic thinking out of these people, but that Trump and Miller chose to make their first domestic battleground a part of the country broadly associated with kind, middle class Americans with fun accents is, to put it mildly, fucking idiotic.

Do not understand why Dem pols get dunked on for saying “fuck” in official statements, as if every public utterance isn’t a kind of performance meant to convey a mood or call citizens to action.
What you find cringe is literally, quintessentially politics.

The killings will continue until you give us the state voter rolls
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

The thing about the “acktually armed resistance is the only way to revolution” reply guys is that the ones who aren’t feds have no plans for armed revolution: they just want an excuse to stay at home and jerk off while feeling morally superior to the people doing the actual work or resistance.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I don’t say this to be glib, I’m just observing that Bluesky is packed to the brim with 37 year old white men who regularly attend protests, so I think this event is going to play out a little differently On Here than most.

I’m on Instagram telling people not to watch it. There’s no good reason to unless you’re a journalist or public figure.
The people at social media companies whose job it is to filter out murder and CSAM go insane. It is not your civic duty to also go insane.
