when trump won nobody was like "he needs to extend an olive branch" and "he needs to move slow to not alienate people who didn't vote for him" but you're already seeing it with zohran

Abolishing ICE is necessary if we want to maintain our democracy. There is no middle ground here. ICE must end like the Securitate and the Stasi ended.

I took a peek at my Strava flybys from my First Night walk and found that a running club traced out '2026' on the Back Bay street grid last night!

@thewaroncars.bsky.social One for your files; the Oregon State Police communications division insists on describing a person killed by a driver as a "vehicle versus pedestrian crash". I mention it every time I meet a trooper, it's a horrible misuse of language.

If you ever want to make someone from another industrialized country look at you as if you've gone mad, explain to them that you can be fired for being sick. I was. This was pre-pandemic. I had strep and a doctor's note.
I was fired for absenteeism.

Let me be explicit. If you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you.
Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewables are cheaper now.

Here’s something so blatantly obvious that it seems stupid to even have to say it out loud.
And yet apparently it’s necessary to say in Trump’s USA.
Filming a legal arrest, let alone the many illegal and anonymous arrests performed by ICE, is NOT DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
Claiming it is, is fascist.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast
