Why should she fear?
Even if there is a power transfer. . . Dems failed to throw Trump in jail for 4 years.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

It is no longer reasonable to assume decency or honesty from any ICE agent.

Act accordingly. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. They will kill. All in order to hurt your friends and family for not fitting their broken definitions of what an American is.

Don’t play fair. ICE won’t.

Remember when Biden got into Office in 2020 said “nothing will fundamentally change” and then gave our Covid relief money to the police directly after the largest mass protests against police violence in American history.

I do. And in part, it’s why we are where we are today.

Wagatwe Wanjuki @wagatwe.com · 1d

we showed the brutality of the anti-Black (and anti-ally) violence by police in 2020 (and before) yet we still got Trump for a second term and police violence has only worsened.

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 1d

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Just in case someone missed this detail:
Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck

Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

We know it’s frustrating to see bad behaviour elsewhere. But trying to police the entire internet isn’t possible for any team — and making exceptions about when to do so only adds confusion and inconsistency. 9/9

1.c. and 1.d., Ellis doesn't have a problem with.

DOJ is going to ask clients if it's any problem b/c the contempt risk might cause agents to hesitate with enforcement.

Plaintiffs' lawyer: "We would ask them to hesitate before shooting priests and journalists."

something else I didn't even mention was that because of that whole situation, the person we were upset at you for not banning talked about me on his podcast.
I was doxxed a week later. my phone number, job, email, family members, *previous places of residence*
it specifically mentioned him in it

Hi Aaron, a thread.
The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing.
I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 1d

1) This was a spam network shared internally at Bluesky for investigation on spam likes. 2) I misclicked/unclicked, but a harassment bot picked it up 3) I continue to be harassed about it a year later

I'm offering a genuine response that I don't see the need for this continually to be raised.

This is literally what the talibangelicals believe. Jews must be collected in Israel as the blood sacrifice in their G-bus summoning ritual, and then after it manifests it will genocide the infidels everywhere like some kind of Lovecraftian eldritch abomination
