I built a custom Bluesky link unfurling plugin for Slack if you like sharing your favorite Bluesky posts in Slack.
#dev #bluesky I use Slack to communicate with various groups of friends, and sharing Bluesky posts with native link unfurling hasn't always been the most reliable. So, I made my own custom link bluesky unfurler for Slack! Go here to add it: bsky.connerpsmith.net/oauth/slack/...

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Really simple script. Why is this so hard?
@pabloreports.bsky.social: Are you concerned about DHS keeping watchlists of American protesters?

REP. MOULTON: Absolutely. This is state-sponsored terror ... We start by not funding DHS. We gotta crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

Does she want to run for governor?
Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

That's our mayor! 🤩 (We're from Minneapolis) (He's the worst!)

Despite the national attention Frey has received for saying a swear word, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social has been ineffective and even complicit when it comes to getting ICE out of Minneapolis. Here are some real actions he could take.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

¿por qué no los dos?
Not ICE, but CBP.

ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.

One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

If Graham can hold up this bill for venal and treasonous reasons, then @amyklobuchar.com & @smith.senate.gov can block the whole spending package until Dems get the GOP to agree to clawback ICE detention funds.
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

What the fuck, Walz?
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?
