And the worst keep sharpening their claws
They're peddling in their dark fictions

Well, we just hem and we haw

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.
I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

They never wanted "small goverment," just a goverment they control weaponized to harm the people they don't like.
The anti government militias were never anti government, they just hate Black people.

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts.
Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

Yes. The point of outright lies contradicting what we can all see isn't to convince anyone in a genuine debate, it is to assist their confederates in creating enough noise, they hope, to bring the truth into doubt for those who aren't going to review the evidence.
I contend that they aren’t manufacturing evidence to convince people in reasoned and logical argument. They are manufacturing props to be used in a fantasy performance among people who collectively agree with the make-believe narrative of that performance.
“For the Trump administration, these creators don’t just amplify the White House’s messaging, they manufacture the evidence to justify it.”

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿♂️
They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.
No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡
And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Details remain unclear: on the one hand, there's a video showing thugs murdering a woman in cold blood. On the other hand, the New York Times is a propaganda arm of the fascist state.
ICE officers in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman in a car, but details of the shooting remained unclear, with conflicting accounts from local and federal officials. The shooting took place about a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Follow updates.
Live Updates: Minneapolis Mayor Disputes Federal Account of Fatal ICE Shooting
Immigration officers opened fire on a 37-year-old woman in a car, who a federal spokeswoman said was trying to kill them. City officials disputed that account, describing the shooting as an overreaction.

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

Trump's conducting illegal kill campaigns and military raids and 7 of the 47 Senators in opposition just voted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Pentagon. We can dream of what it will take to change the party eagerly cheering the killing, but a good first step would be opposition from the opposition
