Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

We have safe houses, and she has observed shift changes, guys!!!!!!!!!

“I’ve been infiltrating Seattle Antifa for over a decade. I know their inner workings” - (I did not catch the journalist's name, but I am dead)

Rachel @rachelaveryy.bsky.social · 16h

This is so god damn embarrassing. I cannot believe this is our administration, and people support this.

Rachel @rachelaveryy.bsky.social · 16h

Nothing is funnier than the White House explaining that Bella Ciao is Antifa’s global anthem and to be aware of this during a live presser 💀

Brandi Kruse is fucking insane

The irony of calling 'antifa' masked terrorists while ICE are the masked terrorists

Rachel @rachelaveryy.bsky.social · 16h

During the white house presser, they just said they "found the girlfriend" of the "founder of antifa".

They are so fucking stupid

Well @danyeal.bsky.social got me the greatest gift that I will use to bully the MAGA men

I do not recommend losing your wallet (but hopefully it’s really at your house and you just have bad memory) before getting on the ferry for the sounders game

For this week’s “two fun facts” at work, I dropped my favorite: I show up in Wikileaks from the 2016 Nevada Democratic State Convention. The reactions are always entertaining.

Ok, so while this is objectively bad and state-sponsored terrorism, it’s also hilarious that they think 30 people are going to be able to keep up with the particlecannon firehose that is the internet/social media on a daily basis.

They’re trying to moderate at scale, and that shit don’t work.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team

Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Case in point here:

Mr. Will @wm.hdly.io · 5d

ICE agents tear-gassing neighborhoods while sitting in their cars is some messed up shit. As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say, “cops are great.”

I needed to send a client to the HUD site for resources and I am so fucking embarrassed for what is on the page right now

It’s honestly fucking embarrassing that he manages to rant endlessly while saying absolutely nothing. How do people walk away thinking, “Yep, this guy’s a genius”?

Rachel @rachelaveryy.bsky.social · 8d

This might be one of the most painful ramblings I’ve heard from Trump, yet.

Rachel @rachelaveryy.bsky.social · 9d

This is the very best news

I lived in Vegas for 13 years and not a day goes by that I don’t miss Red Rock and Valley of Fire. Thanks for sharing 🥹💕

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

this gem was posted on the thread, too❤️ @weareecs.bsky.social

a screenshot of a reddit comment that reads "We went to our first game mid sept and sat in that section. They had chanting going the whole game and it was awesome to hear the passion and energy the whole game. The flags were all about that and every other cup holder throughout the stadium had a card that helped dissuade people from talking to ICE and how to handle that situation in both English and Spanish. It was such a strong gesture that we are all one in the same fighting the same fight for the good of people!"
