Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The thing you have to respect about the Blue Sky community is you can find some person out there to hate on any Democrat politician. Bernie, AOC, Newsom, Walz, Harris, Biden, Clinton and even Obama. Sometimes I think they forget who’s President at the moment entirely.

1. The great thing about America is that I had the freedom to watch either the Bad Bunny or the TPUSA Halftime show. Or neither. I choose C. Nothing against M. Bunny, I am sure he was an exciting and fun performer this evening. And I would get out of my burning car with 5 ICE goons in it to see…

Isn’t it about times states, looking at you California, New York and Illinois in particular start letting Trump know that if he messes with the elections all bets and bonds are off. Those actions would amount to taxation without representation. We have left a tyrant on such grounds before.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something I should point out as what’s going on in my hometown radicalizes me a bit. At heart I am a centrist. I have voted for both GOP and DFL. I was raised by Blue collar workers. My 1st political hero was HHH. Up till Trump I had quite a few conservative friends. Now I am angry and frustrated.

May I suggest that when there are trials for what is currently happening, and there better be trials, they be held in Minneapolis.

I think Trump wants out of Minneapolis. It’s not the optics he wants out of this. But he wants to not be seen as losing. Minnesota I urge you, don’t give him the opportunity to declare any type of victory. You must crush him, and see him before you and hear the lamentation of his MAGA.

My son and I are going to start some research into a Civil War soldier from our town who was a UW grad, school teacher who joined up into the Iron Brigade as a Private rose to become a Officer. Fought through the war and became the Superintendent of the Soldiers home in Milwaukee that stands today.

What are the odds the NFL does a moment of silence for Alex Pretti. I mean they did one for Charlie Kirk. Just asking.

Democrat leaders. The fight is in Minnesota. The people are defending democracy, their neighbors, their cities and their homes. Why are you not there. Pick up a whistle.

Every person on here talking about impeaching Trump is delusional, stupid, or has memory loss. If you somehow get enough Republicans to grow a pair and vote to impeach you still need to get another feckless group in the Senate to convict. The solution is not in DC. It is in the states.

I do enjoy Bluesky but not as much as pre Musk Twitter. But two things currently bug me. Lack of edit functionality and all the people posting about impeachment like they forgot that Trump was impeached twice and was then reelected. It’s like they still think impeachment is a magic anti Trump pill.

Currently on episode two of Death by Lightning. Excellent production with very good performances by Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfayden. Garfield has always been one of those what if questions of US history. How would civil rights been changed if he had lived.

So we are faced with a heartless party of people who only care about enriching themselves or a feckless party of people who only care about keeping the status quo in place for their comfort. A major reorganization is needed.

Democrats seem to be really bad at this politics thing. Is there something else that they could do that would be beneficial to the Country?
