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.

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.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

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 IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

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

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

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.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 1d

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,

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

I truly believe the Democratic Party has no idea the amount of damage they have done to their brand by failing to hold the GOP accountable, while simultaneously alienating their base.

I'm genuinely scared for midterms.

I have never been more disappointed in the DNC than over their response to these candidates. I am a lifelong Democrat. I am proud to be. But they are violating everything we believe in. Young people are on fire for democracy and they are trying to smother it for fear of losing power they don't use.
