ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Very interesting! Alex explains in the thread, but the tl;dr is that many Japanese users are fleeing Twitter for bluesky because of the reported addition of the "edit" button that lets anyone modify any image you post with AI. So artists are understandably very upset.
UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.

Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

There will be so many deaths and assaults found from these people
Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough…

So the gang is expanding its ranks, recruiting *private bounty hunters* to track down immigrants at home and at work

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Bari Weiss is really bad at her job, until you realize it's her job to be really bad at her job, in which case she is excellent at her job

It's funny how many are indoctrinated to think politicians don't owe us shit. Yes they do! Their job is to give us what we want & need. It's bad enough that the politicians don't think they owe us anything, but the fact that they've brainwashed so many to agree with them so people won't even ask?
