Nerd. Family & friends, food, books, snark with my news, tech (but like, early 2000s tech), travel, history, genealogy, the woods, environment, loose jeans, and hoodies. Y’all have lost your minds. I hate the internet. Social media destroyed civilization.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social I’ve scrolled through two days of your posts and, I could have missed it, but I don’t see anything from you denouncing ICE or the terror they are inflicting on everyone, to include US citizens. Are you gonna do something, orrrrr… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PSA St. Paul 🚨🚨🚨
If they break down your door anyway (yes we see the videos)
Do not physically resist, even if the entry is unlawful. Resisting can escalate the situation and put you in danger or expose you to additional charges. Stay calm, keep your hands visible, and avoid sudden movements.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

This is so absolutely true.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

You don’t shoot someone in the head for trying to flee the scene.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter.
A ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists.
