Liam has been on my mind constantly the past 2 weeks. This picture was seared into my brain; it is evidence of the total lack of humanity within this administration.
Many thanks to @danilawaart.bsky.social for allowing me to recreate this beautiful work as crop art.

"The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

They're afraid.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Minneapolis’ Hotel Workers Are on Edge
Staff across the city told NOTUS how their lives have changed since the start of the federal immigration operation. “It's frightening,” one said.

Portland, last night, Saturday, 31 Jan, did anything catch on fire?

Dan ⤵️ an expert on these types of weapons, wants to know. @dankaszeta.bsky.social
In this sort of situation, it is important to notice if any of the tear gas/smoke grenades set anything else on fire. Did someone lob one into a trash can or dumpster? Did stuff catch fire
Does anyone know what kind of gas they were using?

The Trump administration sent two dozen federal agents to arrest two journalists who certainly would’ve turned themselves in with their lawyers for processing if called. It’s absolutely perverse and a waste of resources meant solely to intimidate

Inexcusable that consumer chat services are citing the fraudulent "Grokipedia." The worst offender, OpenAI, refuses any responsibility for the output of their products. Reprehensible. #ai https://www.theverge.com/report/870910/ai-chatbots-citing-grokipedia
ChatGPT isn’t the only chatbot pulling answers from Elon Musk’s Grokipedia
Google’s Gemini, AI Mode, and AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft are starting to cite Musk’s Wikipedia knockoff.

Many major air carriers allow ICE transfers on regular passenger flights but strictly prohibit shackling. Liam and his dad would have had ICE agents “escorting” them on the flight.

There is no way to track ICE transfers on passenger flights, per longtime ICE tracker @tomcartwright.bsky.social.

Re: Delta

Nick Benson (@ottergoose.net) has watched every ICE flight out of MSP board and hasn’t seen any children. We know from court records there was a narrow window from when Liam & his dad were captured and when they were removed from state. Delta had the only flights to Texas in that window.

Seems like Delta—or at least this Delta first officer—is trying to make up for flying Liam and his dad to the ICE detention center two weeks ago.

Folks are debating whether this is satire or a bit, astroturfing or a corporate front group, or an authentic effort to protect billionaires (weird)

I study astroturfing and corporate disinformation campaigns - I have an ongoing project on ballot measure astroturfing - so let's nerd out on this
We've received a lot of comments from the Bluesky community tonight, so we want to take the time to clarify our positions.

I’m so annoyed that people seem to think the individual involvement absolves us from doing any kind of systemic analysis 🤡

It’s annoying that you have to clarify that the existence of an underlying systemic issue doesn’t absolve the individuals doing harm and that that’s not just taken for granted

Part of what I’m saying is that university presidents and finance apparatuses knew and supported these relationships

We can and should blame the individuals named in the files but they represent a larger structural phenomenon and it’s not just rape culture

On this day in 1978, the US Post Office issued its first stamp honoring an African American woman. Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist & suffragist who freed herself & hundreds of others from bondage before becoming a Union scout, spy & nurse. Trump doesn’t want her image on the $20 bill. #WeTheMen
