Stop fucking quote-skeeting people to dunk on them.

Who here -- in the lefty bubble that is Bluesky, home of the nuclear block -- feels that they ever get caught unaware of any right-wing viewpoint, talking point, catchphrase, code word, or shibboleth?

Rewatching The West Wing as background noise while working. In S1E5, Josh talks to his therapist and the entire tone of the show shifts for a few minutes. I wonder how different things would be if they'd really leaned into that.

"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

A weapon that can be used like they're using ICE/CBP/DHS must be melted down for scrap.
I'm not asking for reform because arguing on paper about what ICE has to do is not the fucking point, because--and this is important--they are not following the fucking paper.
I said "abolish" and I did not stutter, because if fascists goons can take over every four years, there is no paper reform.

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

Do I really need to see state-sanctioned murder from multiple angles again and again on every social media platform?
There must be a better way to hold power to account than traumatising everyone on social media. Leading to greater anxiety and reduced use of tools that help us to be in community.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Turn off autoplay video if you haven’t already.
I just accidentally saw what appears to be the video. Be aware that a video is out there. But yeah, it seems there has been another shooting.
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
