Also general reminder: If you've been getting your news from social media, please don't end there.

Check your information using reliable sources & read full articles for more context if you're able.

Socials can be good to notify you about something happening, but they shouldn't be your last stop.

What happens in the video:

- ICE agents approach a car. One says "get out of the fucking car"
- An agent tries to pull the car door open & the car backs up slightly
- An agent in front of the car pulls out a gun as the car begins moving forward
- The agent takes 3 shots directly at the driver

I've found myself retyping a lot of the same troubleshooting tips if someone has problems accessing Bluesky after an account migration. So I wrote a checklist, a self-guided troubleshooting guide! So if you or someone you know finds they can't post after migrating, maybe give this a read.
Help! I've migrated to a new PDS, and my Bluesky doesn't work

spent a couple of hours moving my website over from 11ty to astro, and then making leaflet posts to render as normal blog posts (and not as an iframe embed as it is currently).

going to bed now but will make a couple finishing touches and hopefully ship tomorrow.
