@deptofwar.bsky.social is violating the Bluesky TOS. I’m asking Bluesky users to call attention to this with a blackout.

If people like Laurene Jobs want to jump start positive change they should finance some free, FM radio in rural America. Thousands of stations. Hire local, sane talent to run the joints. Make it pleasant to listen to. Travel through rural America some day and scan the dial - it's awful
This is unfortunately very common - and has been happening for decades. People describe their elderly parents as having been brainwashed by Fox. It's a sad situation

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
!["Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"
"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."
"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.
"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.
"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.
"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.
"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."
"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."
"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"
"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreibjwvcxk2ptdafgbwfhk4rjalweyoz3d55gl72qhwhiudhu6aywcm@jpeg)

Periodic reminder that large data leaks often have misleading information that needs to be verified and corroborated, and that just drawing conclusions without doing so is irresponsible.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Fire ripped through Jackson's only synagogue on Saturday, heavily damaging the historic house of worship in what authorities say was an act of arson.
Beth Israel synagogue, the largest in Mississippi, has long been a target of antisemites. It was the site of a Ku Klux Klan bombing in 1967.

2 more people were taken on Central Ave tonight. People at Pilllar Forum went to legally observe and then were maced, pepper sprayed, and beaten by ICE.
Corey from Pilllar is talking about the impact ICE terrorizing our community is having on his business, staff, and our neighbors.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.
An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."
