Dipshits on Bluesky: What do you expect? Dems are in the minority and have no power!
Me: They currently have the power to shut down the government and extract real concessions.
Dipshits: No, just give the Dems money so they can keep giving Trump everything he wants.

Eoin Higgins recently pointed out in an interview with the Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman that today’s technogarchs “don’t think that they owe anybody anything, they don’t appreciate that they live in a society.”
What happens to the art market when humanity stops mattering?
In a world now governed by force—as US president Donald Trump and his circle would have it—rather than shared values, art risks being relegated to a power play of ‘proven brands’

It’s Time for Concrete Action on ICE. Sadly, We Have the Democrats.
Democrats have offered cussing and scolding after the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We need a real plan of attack, now.

Amy when you’re done self-promoting do you think you could go get that kid out of that concentration camp
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.
And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.
I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Reading between the lines of Homan's reprehensible gangsterism, Trump is trying to find a way to withdraw and save face.

If the secret police can’t be secret then why be police?
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

why do you think you know what's in grip for the next 11 months? this issue has moved 30 points in last 10 months
“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:
- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions
He doesn’t even *ask* for it.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Bellingcat has further analysed videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. The footage shows an agent wearing a black beanie step behind Pretti. His right arm then appears to recoil at the same time the first shot is heard.

Reupping this for the day crowd. I've been hearing a little about a lack of actual communication from the VA to staff after Alex Pretti's killing. I want to find out what is actually going on. Reach out on Signal @ nslayton.12
I'm a reporter and editor with Task & Purpose. I want to talk to VA employees, better yet Minneapolis VA ones. What has the VA said to you after Alex Pretti's death? Has there been any message? Any asks not to discuss? What? Will protect sources, use 1st names only, etc. Signal handle is nslayton.12
