What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Little bit wary of centrists who post lots of "AHA! SEE! Farage wants to privatise the NHS!" gotchas coz we already have a government right now that's doing a bit of the ol' that and they should probably pipe up about it if they feel so strongly about the NHS.

It's "go woke go broke" until there are mass protests on the streets and then we're all "paid actors". We're either rich elites coining it in from pretending to be leftwing or we're squealing blue hair piggies jealous coz we've got no money. It can't be both.

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault.

I’m not linking but I just read a columnist (one of my favorites) say Trump “has no ideology beyond his own power.”
Ten years in, this trope should die. Trump's ideology is white supremacist and that goes a long way in explaining his imperialism and protectionism.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Starmer has the worst political instincts of any party leader in history. His entire strategy is trying to appease a bunch of people who already decided years ago they hated him. Meanwhile he's pissing off everybody who tolerated him.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Gavin Newsom used the 1st episode of his new podcast to torpedo his viability as a 2028 presidential candidate.
Having Kirk on to talk about trans rights is like interviewing Andrew Tate about sex trafficking.
Newsom didn’t even try to push back when Kirk started calling trans women "young men".

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.
