So apparently the new owners of the US part of TikTok are massively throttling political posts that are critical of ICE. Who’d have thought? It almost makes you think relying on corporate networks to keep us connected is a bad idea.

Before everybody gets too excited about ICE backing off in Minneapolis we should consider that this is entirely to make it harder for Dems to vote against ICE funding. It’s a feint. Dems better not be dumb enough to think their work is done.

Why we need good journalists - what a missed moment! This should have turned to convo to “wait, this is a stunning change in GOP policy around 2A! Tell us more! What changed the president’s thinking about this?” And then we would have seen Kash shit his pants on air.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Maybe I’m old fashioned but I think the director of the FBI should be familiar with US gun laws.

@wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social Metro, I beg you, please make old fashioned bus timetables available on your web site. Yeah I'm old but the classic paper timetable that told you the frequencies/times for both directions 7 days a week were really useful! On your web site....

Seems to me that if you’re in a state with a stand your ground law, and an ICE agent came running toward you, if you shot them in the face you’d have a decent chance of getting way with it.

In theory the idea that simply carrying a gun (not displaying, pointing it at anyone, etc) isn’t reason to kill that person should not sit well with the 2nd Amendment crowd (who lean strongly republican). Are they really down with the idea that carrying a gun makes killing you ok?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social so you guys found a way to keep ICE $ flowing and ICE agents executing people in the streets of an American city. Are you proud?

So finally did it and made the jump to an EV, and I think there's an argument that incentives for them aren't needed because they're REALLY GOOD. I know MAGA hates things that don't kill anybody, but future Americans will probably like their Chinese-made cars.

Hypothesis: people on Bluesky post things like a screenshot of some social post without saying who it’s from or why the context is as a way to signal “I’m so dialed in, if you’re not, you’re a loser.” Maybe uncharitable but maybe why this place feels increasingly like X minus Nazis.

Can we stop called what ICE does “immigration enforcement?” There are now more ICE agents than cops in Minneapolis. What we are seeing is the federal government invading an American city because the the locals don’t support him. It’s unlikely to be the only place this happens.

ICE just shot someone else in Minneapolis, and apparently they are now carrying long guns with rounds designed to bounce around inside the body to cause maximum damage
Why the hell are they armed with 5.56? Those rounds travel at 3200fps - they should not be used in urban areas, way too much risk of collateral damage. Cosplay assholes!

This should be a national shutdown
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You cannot fund the federal government if this is going on. This is basically the President starting a civil war in our streets. If you vote to keep the $ for this flowing, your party is deservedly dome for because it's been so useless.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Imagine if the House and Senate minority leaders were capable of speaking this clearly.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I think the some House Dems need to introduce a bill formally labeling ICE a terrorist group. No, it won’t pass. That’s not the point. The point is to get that fact into public discourse and the Congressional Record.

Only today did I realize that both times, the president went obviously senile in office AND HAD A NAME ENDING IN -ONALD!
