maybe I'm just old and cranky now but as soon as I realize I'm talking to a right winger I don't go "look at this cool bug I found" and I have firmly come to believe dunking on a right winger is Influencer behavior that usually comes with a flimsy ideological pretense but is really just aura farming

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

The organization carrying out the mass kidnapping and disappearance of children is staffed with sex pests? Imagine my shock.
Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children
Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

It's so disgusting to me the centrist Democrats just openly colluded with the Trump administration to lie about ICE pulling back and knocking it off, hoping to trick everyone trying to stop them into going home and accepting their evil. And then to get lectures from who, Wil Wheaton? Fuck you all!!!

🚨"They're stealing the car!"

As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolis—in front of an elementary school—then chased him. After failing to catch him—they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

You have to be your own best friend. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself credit and the benefit of the doubt. Think about how you can help yourself after a hard day. I didn't say spoil yourself/justify selfish actions - I mean actually be a good friend, as you would be to someone you care about

Wasted Ink has been in operation for a decade and they deserve all the support they can get to make it another ten years. If you're in Phoenix, you can go directly to the storefront to support, but there's an online shop and/or they're also accepting donations for the coming zine fest.
In a time where zines and free press are being challenged daily, we ask for your support! We're celebrating distributing 15,000+ zines over the last 10 years and we want to continue our meaningful work.

Any amount helps!

There really seems to be a lot of kayfabe happening right now. Trump is pretending to de-escalate to placate Dems so they don't demand reform, and Dems are making up fake reforms so they can pretend like they made changes while they vote to fund DHS.

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Something I’ve been thinking about is how the right complains about “paid agitators” yet there was a ~36 hour window in which we saw dozens of huge right wing Twitter accounts being managed from overseas. I just do not trust the internet as a barometer of how people feel about politics anymore.

Schumer's conditions for continuing ICE funding

- no more killing white people
- ICE agents have to wear a special lanyard to be identifiable
- ICE agents wearing masks has to be optional now, not mandatory

There may be exceptions, but accounts that are like "Resistance Grandma" with a bunch of slogans in their bio and high follow and follower count should always warrant suspicion. I have them on a mute list and it's greatly reduced the flow of misinfo & ragebait.
Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

I literally was in immigration court as a 5 year old but I'll have shitlibs fully become conservatives the moment I talk about democrats also being complicit in the torture and oppression of my people. They'll be so abusive, call me insults short of slurs, call me tankie.

Word has gone out in conservative internal communication channels to present the post Pretti moment as a sea change "pivot" moment. "Feds are now cooperating with local law enforcement" is one of the talking points.
Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."
