This is Minneapolis:

You go to the local park for an Art Sled rally. The turnout is robust even though it’s 11 degrees and protests are occurring in multiple places around the city. Over half of the sleds have an anti-ICE theme.

We really threw all that soft power in the trash, because it's not manly enough or some bullshit like that. Really tragic to see.

if you see this symbol/flag/sticker around this is good, we need the AIM here real fucking bad right now
American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

spotify is a machine that steals money from musicians and gives 250 million dollars to joe rogan (www.theguardian.com/technology/2...)
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

The amount of ICE agents slipping on actual ice is out of control lmao. They really sent motherfuckers into Minnesota in the middle of winter who don't know how to run in snow let alone on ice. It's having an effect that makes people less afraid, like someone straight up jumps on this ICE loser lmao

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.

What does that say about the Democratic establishment?

Primary season is on right now, folks.

We all deserve better.

Extremely unusual that the Bluesky team is working late on a Sunday night to verify Canadian political parties and elected officials who are rumored to be mulling over a coordinated X ban with Australia and the UK.
