holy crap y'all, here's the killer combo:
1. a directory of all starter packs - blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
2. a tool to turn packs into lists - nws-bot.us/bskyStarterP...
3. a layout where lists can be columns deck.blue (bsky.app/profile/spen...)
🤯
deck.blue is a gamechanger -- use a one time app password to keep your secrets safe(r)

All this talk of productive calls with Trump, Bovino leaving, some ICE agents leaving, etc, doesn’t matter if this shit is still happening today 🤬🤬🤬
1/27/2026 - Minneapolis

ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone

They did not have a warrant

Good for her. It isn’t every day you get the chance to tell a SCOTUS justice that he’s full of shit.
NEW: Marimar Martinez, the woman shot by Border Patrol in Chicago only to be criminally charged (and cleared), seeks to modify a court order so she can "disclose case materials … to the public."

Her atty, Chris Parente, points to events in Minneapolis as well as writings by Justice Samuel Alito:

Stephen Miller’s wife reacting this way to someone literally pointing out what the constitution says is pretty telling

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

protested in a very conservative town where I live today,and it went really well. At two intersections, in 30 min sessions, I had two signs: one said RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. The other sign said, on one side: IT'S THE LAW other side said: TRUMP PROTECTS PEDOS. 95% of the reactions were supportive.

Defendants in the ongoing DOJ voter rolls litigation (including MN as such plus some already granted intervenors) should file this letter immediately along with a motion for applicable sanctions and also asking for a criminal referral.
Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.
JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

This is the whole ballgame folks. If they can cover up a public execution and get away with it, nothing else matters and we are living in Russia. Talk to your people; have the tough conversations with family.

Genuinely take the time to read this comments

If there is anyone in your life you've been avoiding taking to about this shit now is the time to press the issue

Make them answer for this

Make them answer for their ideology

Make them answer for the 2nd amendment. Push push push push push.
Wow, the MAGA pigs really have lost even the Reddit conservative community now - the one that WAS on board with “well, killing Renee Good was justified because she was a lesbian bitch”

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.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

The Trump administration's refusal to stop lying about this latest killing reminds me of how Hitler refused to let German generals tactically retreat on the eastern front starting in 1942

Keith Rabois is a ghoul. Then again, he has always been one, preying on those he can prey on. I have been appropriately critical of techies, but it appears they have taken it yet another step further into unhinged cruelty.
