I'm pinning this.

Bluesky moderation is a sad joke. They'll ban an early user's account for a meme (Link) but they'll allow a stochastic terrorist to remain (Jesse Singal).

I hear moving to a different PDS is a good choice. I'll be exploring that.

@gregpak.net has a great thread here...

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

To fascists, people enjoying their lives will always be terrifying.

Their entire idealogy is based on fear, hierarchy, and oppression. Living without fear, as equals lifting each other up means their destruction.

I've met these two wonderful parents before. i was reporting on a roundtable discussion of trans parents held at the HRC HQ and then we all went out for dinner afterwards. after dinner Keisha and Sean insisted on walking me all the way to the metro stop to make sure i made it okay.

Sara Luterman @slooterman.bsky.social · 3h

“Keisha and Sean became determined to fill this resource gap. They’re among a growing group of Black parents who are building a support network.”

No one was helping Black transgender youth. So these parents stepped in.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Such disingenuous bullshit.

You have to be blind to not see the utter bias shown by the DNC and it's leadership towards corporate centrist candidates.

We're all watching the NYC campaign. We're all watching the DNC fail it's voters.

Your base is walking away.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

At a press conference today, the mayor of Everett said there was a knife found in the child’s possession but *no* gun. I followed up with ICE and asked if they stand by the screenshot shared yesterday. Spokesperson said DHS was working on a response. Five hours later, still nothing.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
