Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

If lawfully carrying a firearm is automatically grounds for getting shot and killed by federal agents, then the 2nd amendment is a lie, and does not exist.

Today is always a good day to:
* update your passwords
* turn on two-factor authentication
* use a malware detector, such as
Bitdefender or Malwarebytes
* use an ethical VPN
* use a password protector
* use a firewall
* delete your Facebook/Instagram/X account

America's religion is capitalism.

The color green trumps white.

The 1% and all the Trump bootlickers are fine with fascism unless it hurts their bottom line.

That's the only thing that will end their complicity with this terrorism.

So, use your dollar. Boycott. Strike. Shame them. Mock them.

In three years either ICE will be abolished or the USA will be a police state. Hard to see it ending any other way.

Apparently, I have been given 2 strikes by Bluesky moderation for drawing comparisons between ICE's actions and the occupying British force that led to the American revolution, and I'm not sorry at all for it. It sucks if history is inconvenient for you, but pointing it out is not inciting violence.

My son is 6, and I can't imagine how terrified this poor boy must be, several states away from anyone familiar, all on his own. This is infuriating.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Low IQ garbage people, but somehow master-minded a $19 billion dollar theft scheme.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Don't know who needs to hear this, but firearms are still incredibly cheap, legal, and easy to buy. I don't care where you live in America, there is firearms training available to you, and there are places to practice and build comfort, familiarity, and safety.

This is increasingly a challenging problem that faces Festival International de Louisiane here in Lafayette. Our lineup typifeatures more than 50 artists from 25-30+ nations, but that becomes more difficult to program with each passing year.
“It’s completely hopeless now to tour in the U.S..” Many overseas musicians, theater companies and others face new and seemingly insurmountable obstacles to perform in the U.S. with the Trump administration's travel restrictions on 19 countries.

I cut down 7 trees with a chainsaw yesterday and today, and man, I cannot recommend that enough for burning off stress and getting out some aggression. Just blast some Run the Jewels in the earbuds, and fuck shit up.
