Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

A judge ordersed DHS to treat people at 26 Federal Plaza like people, and not cattle.
DHS decided that only applied to the 10th floor, and so moved detainees to the 9th.
They are all Trump's willing executioners.

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

One demonstrator said they attended the phallic protest, at which people pelted federal agents' vehicles with sex toys, "because "ICE likes to bend over for Daddy Trump."
'Operation Dildo Blitz' Anti-ICE Protest in Minneapolis Ends With 50+ Arrests
Protesters in Minneapolis threw sex toys at federal agents to protest ICE crackdown on immigrants. Arrests were made as demonstrators shouted insults. What drives people to such extreme actions in the fight for immigrant rights? #Immigration #Protest #ICECrackdown

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.
Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Some years ago, a friend of mine was nursing his wife through her final illness. She had played with the ASO, and told her husband "The one good thing about dying is I'll never have to play under Botstein again."
Jeeeesus
I mean TBH this isn’t the most shocking turn of events. Botstein’s sense of self-importance has never been in question.

PSA: There have been many text-based scams posing as "fundraising" campaigns. One of the 🚩: if you reply "stop" (or "end") and you don't get a confirmation response, it was probably a scam.

An excellent & detailed discussion of the Kent State massacre & what came after.
Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

Very useful thread!
1/7 You know how we use AI chatbots like ChatGPT to answer questions now? 🤖
Well, bad actors have figured that out too. They are actively trying to manipulate what the AI tells you.
It’s a new tactic called "LLM Grooming." Here is a simple breakdown of how it works. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.
