I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

Absolutely unimaginable cruelty and ghoulishness.
Yeah, one can't just "rein in" this kind of heartless and immoral monstrosity with some narrowly structured reforms with focus group tested buzzwords from fancy consultants in DC. If you think that's enough you are part of the ghoulishness.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

👇!!!!!! I expect that a very credible death threat has been picked up by his security team, that it has been tracked back or ultimately linked to someone who is, essentially, untouchable, & this is a preemptive attempt to defuse the threat.
INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

I assume Thomas Massie is getting death threats. Every Democrat and every Republican that crosses Trump (eg. Raffensperger) gets them. Only Massie knows how credible they are.
However, still jarring to see these half-performative, half-serious statements being issued by a sitting Member of Congress

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley.
They’ve been locked up for 130+ days.
I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.
