I see that Bluesky's Transparency Report of 1/29/26 reports a fivefold increase in government records requests in 2025, compared to 2024. There were 1,470 of them. This is in "PART III: LEGAL & SAFETY."

You know what this is a good question.
Has anyone from Bluesky said yet whether they’re getting these subpoenas for user data from the Trump regime?

To be honest, I wasn't planning on sticking around that long.

That said, I feel bad for Keith Richards.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.

They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.

Stay vigilant.
Stay united.
Keep fighting.
We will win.

This shows how big, big numbers are. Note that some in the criminal cartel in DC want to imprison and/or deport 100 million.
Fun Fact: 100% of the time when I send this link to Reich Wing trolls in arguments they go dead silent and can never even pass the challenge of scrolling to the bottom of the page

They're too weak to handle statistics and real numbers, they prefer lies

Hey. Your feelings & needs matter-- even if you don't understand or can't perfectly express them at this second.

A thing that can make trauma recovery hard is, it often feels "natural" or "right" to kick the sh*t out of ourselves-- because that's what we know. It's what we were conditioned-- brainwashed-- into believing "should" happen. To stop feels "wrong," like an "undeserved" "cop out."

No matter how sh*tty we feel today, we owe it to our "parts" & inner child to not revert back to ignoring them. They're worried we'll abandon them when the going gets tough. We need to reassure & show up for them-- especially on the sh*tty days.

When ICE gets caught lying to be able to eat at a restaurant with the very people they’re terrorizing, the community used video surveillance against them proving they’d exited a confirmed ICE vehicle and entered the restaurant.

The crowd then lets the agents (scouts) know exactly how they feel.
