Did I follow you? Follow backs are optional. A follow from me is a nod and a hello and just an indication I expect to see interesting skeets. A following back, to me, is a handshake and and a hello, and it's never something I demand. I'm not here for 'engagement' from or via bigly followed accounts.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

At a moment when liberals are finally recognizing that they will live in a dictatorship unless they undertake real resistance, attempting to smear anarchists by association with the Trump regime is perhaps the most pointless and irresponsible thing a centrist like @ezraklein.bsky.social could do.
Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace
Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative—in other words, to become anarchists.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Training!? Ffs it's not training. No amount of training these thugs will change their hearts
I'll preface this with saying that I'm a liberal and think liberalism is good, but the mewling about training from so many Dems is an absurd example of liberal proceduralist pathology.
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."
