I guess we are doing intros here. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in SUD. My page is a mix of all my interests and I refuse to make a solely professional page. Expect cat photos, plant photos, sci fi book recs, harm reduction, and me getting to rediscover my love of New England.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

At the rate this weather is going my candy cane decorations are not going to be able to removed successfully from the ground until April. We don’t seem to be able to have enough days above freezing for the ground to thaw and let me pull them out.

Interesting how quiet those first amendment auditors have been when there is a genuine threat to the first amendment. Haven’t seen any of them out there observing ICE

When I teach Vietnam, I explain that opposition to the war really grew in fits and starts. Some big rallies and visible protests, but also a steady stream of celebrities and ordinary folks breaking with their priors and taking a new stand.

This last month, this last week, feels like a real shift.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

“Signal is a honeypot” is definitely what I’d say if I was a fed who wanted people to move away from platforms I don’t have a backdoor to.
The sudden intense uptick in posts claiming Signal is insecure without proof other other than alluding to special knowledge at a time when successful organizing via the app has been critical to success in MN reads as a grift at best, and an op at worst.
Stonekettle Station (Jim Wright) has been here on Bluesky 4 a while. It seems that the community here got riled abt something he said. Well, the community here is wrong. Not 2 say the guy can’t make a bad comment sometimes, but if u follow what he has 2 say, you’ll know he’s anti-MAGA & quite smart.

Simple, clear, direct.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The script they are using to justify the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti was workshopped and tested on the unlawful killings of Black men and women by the police. Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, etc…
