@bsky.app Patriots, if you feel small and powerless, here's a fun fact. It would only take 10 to 20% of Americans withdrawing their money from the bank simultaneously to rock the foundation of this nation. That's our nuclear bomb. If their b******* keeps on they best recognize.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

Throw sand in all the gears
Add friction to everything they do and it adds up. Every minute of their time you waste is a win. Attrition is a strategy
I’m just echoing others who have already said this, but it’s a good thing that it takes so many ICE agents to make a single arrest.
It makes the whole operation slower and more resource-intensive.

It feels like Andor was written for this very moment.
Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Imagine this happened in any other country: a leader attempts a coup to stay in power. He fails in the moment, but faces no consequences. Next election, with the help of shadowy tech billionaires and corrupt party Appalachian, gets into office again.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.
This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Make one of your new years resolutions to boycott AI.
In 2025, AI slop is everywhere. The best way to beat it is systemic change, regulatory overhaul. But the second-best way is by rebelling against it in our everyday lives.
That means sustained, active engagement with non-slop—real people, challenging art, new ideas—in the real world and online.

It's cute that Arkansas farmers think Chump is going to give them any money. I guess they figured since he bailed them out (from his own stupid tariffs) last time, he'd do it again.
