Absolutely frightening to watch this. To say they are disappearing people or kidnapping is not hyperbole after watching this.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Standing against the rise of authoritarianism in our land of freedom with many fellow lovers of democracy. #NoKingsCLT

Thanks for this reminder!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

seriously, what what a piece of shit thing to do. imagine this idea forming in your brain & just following through. no impulse control. juvenile brain function. years of training telling you all your peers are totally down w/ what you're about to do. what a bad organization this guy's a part of.

Watch this ICE officer casually raise their rubber-bullet gun to shoot an unassuming Australian journalist in the back from behind as she does a standup at the LA protests. Now consider again who the “lawbreaking terrorists” are in this situation. bsky.app/profile/dell...

Stop taking this administration at its word

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

He's doing it to evoke fear of any opposition.

We got one!!

Vim is the original escape room

OK, I LOLed

Defunding NPR is defunding local public radio. During Helene Blue Ridge Public Radio was invaluable and the only way a whole lot of people got needed information when the internet and cell service were unavailable. Public radio serves local communities

Hate to lose an unbeaten streak to a referee.

Anyone checked their Signal chats this morning?

It is time for bravery by our leaders.

This is some sick shit

Government is a social contract of a people with shared agreement of a set of rules on how we should treat each other as humans in society. We are at the point of having an argument about whether we should retrieve an innocent man "accidentally" sent to a concentration camp.

Deeply appreciate the Betty White Summoning Circle I noticed at a USPS counter this week. 🕯

Wow, what an ending in the tournament this year! #Masters

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon referred to AI as “A1.” We’re ruled by the stupidest, most incompetent people in the world.

I am so tired of O'Leary.

America First (to the bar!) policy strikes in Belgium. www.brusselstimes.com/brussels/152...

Maybe this is wish casting, but maybe there is opportunity in a post-MAGA world where we can begin to advance progressive populist priorities like better mass transit infrastructure, a better healthcare structure that serves the society, prioritize a strong social safety net for our population.

Between that and the cramping from all the quick-walking (not running!) from hole to hole, it is going to be carnage out there this week! Hydrate while enjoying the cheap beers and egg salad.

Like for not jumping out of them due to the market crash?

Enjoying our first trip abroad in #Rotterdam after a week in Turkey. Hate that we haven't done this before. Really interesting experience getting out of the US.

I love this last line: We are the ones we've been waiting for. The power is always with the people. We sometimes forget that. But when it is remembered on days like yesterday in the US, it is a tremendously powerful reminder. Let's keep the pressure up!

Shout out to the top five offs in the world, dance, blast, strogan, David Hasselh and hands.

There is a French woman sitting next to me at the gate listening to the sax solo in Careless Whisper, and I don't know if I will have a more perfect experience today.

NORTH CAROLINA! Some fucked up shit happened yesterday for our courts. Today, let’s protest! Find a rally near you. ⬇️ handsoff2025.com

Hank Tough, legendary bare knuckles boxer who came to prominence in the 1930's fighting rats in NYC, would be gearing up for a blockbuster match against Pizza Rat were they both alive to see today's news.
