I make it a general rule to block people who follow thousands of accounts. it comes off as bot behavior, and i assume most of the time it isn't thanks to Bluesky starter packs, but I'm just not interested in showing up in someone's following timeline if its a constant stream of random bs

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

DHS funding ran out at midnight last night, triggering a partial government shutdown.
Republicans had a choice between supporting massively popular, desperately needed restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol or shutting down DHS. And they chose to shut down DHS. 🧵

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

there has been a repeated and calculated effort to not only go after Black activists and journalists but also to go to extreme lengths to try to rob them of their dignity and create racialized propaganda. this is vile, vicious stuff and it needs to be called out directly
Civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong's latest brief reveals the backstory of her arrest in a footnote. Feds refused to let her self-surrender, taped her arrest at a hotel, and broke a promise not to post it on social media, she says.
The White House then digitally altered it to smear her.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.
