Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."

That's a death threat.

If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.
One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

Firing Bovino but not restoring this baby to his family tells you all you need to know
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

the main difference between the twitter algo and the bsky algo is that bsky doesn't reward the current thing as much

so, niche posts are more likely to be read on here, while stuff about the big news story is likely to be read on twitter

Bovino was demoted for embarrassing Trump, not because he was doing things Trump didn't like

how fucking stupid do you have to be to try brutalizing your citizens into compliance in a nation whose founding mythology states the people must start a hunting season on those that try that

the 2026 meta is getting a swarm of polecats to do the correction fishing for you
stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
