It's cool when a member of Congress says there's no point in standing up to the bully who is literally taking our tax money.

I'm trying to encourage better Bluesky practices to avoid these ↓↓ and limit spread of mis/disinfo:
context-less images
theft from indy journos
covering watermarks or adding new ones
incorrect description
no sources

MisIDs
As a start, I'm asking if people could name sources. 🙏🏼

Avelo Airlines thought it could profit off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive deportation flights.
But you grounded “ICE Air” and showed that organizing still works.

If we had reason to be outraged before by the murder of Renee Nicole Good, video showing the deadly ICE agent spewed "f**king bitch" after shooting her makes even more clear this man belongs in jail--& this masked & armed police state must come to an end. The Trump regime defending this is criminal.

Really beating that cognitive dysfunction rap.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

It’s impossible to “just follow orders” if one ice agent says “move your car” and another one says “open your door”…those orders are in conflict. Follow one agent’s orders and the other will shoot you in the face for not following his.
