Two years ago on my birthday, I responded to a food photo posted by the great @nigella.bsky.social with, "This looks perfect for my birthday today." Her account wished me a Happy Birthday, which moved me deeply because of life-things at that moment. It's a sweet gesture for which I'm ever-grateful.

They are filling immigrant prisons with non criminals.
NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Alleged leak from a dispatcher on the ICE shooting in Portland.
Looks the victim said he tried to run, and ICE said he tried to run them over.
Not suspicious at all in light of Minnesota.

Every once in a while a Dem. politician will say, "We CAN walk and chew gum at the same time." This here is not what they mean, but it is always what they do.
Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.
Alexander Van Hook is confirmed 53-40 to be a District Judge of Western Louisiana. According to @senatepress.bsky.social, the Dems yeas are Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Peter Welch (VT). Angus King (I-ME) was also a yea.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

People who think that there are paid crisis actors protesting are out of their fucking minds. First of all, there are a lot of really terrible actors out there. Second, if an actor really did get a job as a protestor, people would know about it. They’d be hashtagging that shit.

Crazy that the NYT actively worked to remove our last president for having old people problems *and* install the corrupt, racist, insane orangeman as his replacement, then occasionally admits they knew what truth was all along and decided alternative truths made more money.
