One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad is very much worth your time.

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.
This Is Ethnic Cleansing.
Dear Humans,

Just read "Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza" by @peterbeinart.bsky.social, and I found it eye-opening. I already supported the Palestinian cause, but to see my thoughts made so clear is refreshing. I only hope more people engage with the book

NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE
According to President Trump, the US has attacked Iran. He says, "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!"
Watching hassan, and yeah, this Iran situation is making me feel like im suddenly very afraid of the Soviet Union again.

Really wanted climate change to be the worst part of being alive, not nuclear holocaust

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric
Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me.

His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard.

This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

this is an amazing article but is topped off by the fact that these south african “refugees” are asking their embassy if they can go back to south africa lol

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

They are not following the law.

Now there's a surprise.
NOW - I am outside Adelanto ICE processing facility with @chu.house.gov, @congresstran.bsky.social, and members of @chirla-org.bsky.social and the @aclu.org.

I came here to conduct Congressional oversight. Instead, they denied us entry and locked the gates.

We will not stop demanding answers.

This stuff is worth a lot more to us than putting together the purest protest we can imagine, or worse, turning all the discourse into a compare/contrast with whatever ideal protest we each imagine bsky.app/profile/lore...
ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection.

They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

long live Los Angeles
Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

the actual best thing about Portland is that it has fewer cops per capita than basically any city in the U.S. i hate every single one of these gutless cowards. fuck you and your fucking badge. i say this from a position of journalistic objectivity.
I am outraged about L.A. right now. ICE invaded this city, and they are voicing their concerns, only to be met with the president deploying the national guard, which last I checked was not his job

Trump is making the situation worse. Stay safe out there, guys. It'll be everywhere else soon

something i’m noticing is there’s lots of people not at these protests and have zero interest in ever going to one of them telling the people at these protests how to properly protest

Video of an ICE caravan just ramming people

If Elon was any good at being an asshole corporate director, he’d send Trump a passive-aggressive email at 4.59pm this evening and then immediately turn on his out of office for the weekend.
