Since this app is getting more traction and I'm gonna try to use it more, I'll do one of those corny intro posts:
Hi, I'm Josiah. I produce a podcast called @fruitlessmedia.bsky.social about politics, media, history, religion, etc. It's pretty eclectic, but fun. I did a few pods before that.

We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.
How stupid do they think we are?

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

The NRA has been nothing more than a grift to take money from suckers so they can buy politicians for fun manufacturers for decades. So it is truly priceless to see them respond to the government executing people in the streets by basically saying ‘Jokes on you assholes, we’re with the jackboots.’

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

If the Dems could muster anything more than mealy-mouthed condemnations they would be pulling Assad numbers in MN for decades off the events of today alone
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

Conservatives are already rapidly seizing on the idea that the person murdered by ICE had a weapon as if that justifies murder and it's like you guys your whole insane fantasy for grounding the right to bear arms is a situation where citizens feel compelled to defend themselves against tyranny.
