After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

In the four years I went to the University of Arizona I don't remember a football game ever having a lightning delay. Now we have our second delay this season!

The first one lasted two hours. Hopefully this won't be as bad.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

If you don't think Republicans do purity testing, you haven't been paying attention for the last decade. That's all they've been doing since Trump came along.

You know why the Republicans continue to win? They’re loyal to their party. None of this kind of circular firing squad purity testing. It will continue to sink us. Save those conversations for after we wrestle control from the fascists. I’m just saying. It’s go time and we need a solid line! ✌️☮️🕊️

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Let's also recoil in HORROR at Cuomo's answer to the obligatory running-for-NYC election bagel order reveal:

“Bacon, cheese and egg on an English muffin, and then I try to take off the bacon, but I don’t really take off the bacon”

“The bagel I try to stay away from, to keep my girlish figure.”

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Ok there were two right answers:

S-Tier guaranteed NYC electoral win: Plain or everything bagel with lox, cream cheese, onions, and capers.

Runner up but also accepted: Bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything or plain bagel. (must list bacon, egg, and cheese in the correct order)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
