Those satellites? They ain’t toys. They see through clouds, dark, rain—like a goddamn MRI machine for storms. They tell us if it’s a lil’ windy swirl or a fucking death blender about to gut your count...

a single marine just finishing boot has more training than every subhuman goon in that photograph
Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.
This is what America is about.
Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.
It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

I'm pretty thankful for Chris Norlund's daily commentary on what is going on. @norlund.bsky.social I think a lot of people are thinking "What is happening? This can't be real!" It's so nice to hear intelligent commentary that is easy to understand, and low in drama.
