New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

Also for the most part, the sports people on Bluesky probably already agree with you politically! That’s why they left Twitter. I’ll start looking for the exits when I see the @harrisonbutker account everywhere on here…

"I want to be upfront: This parade is going to cause a lot of damage. Our street is not very wide, nor is it built to accommodate a battalion. Flower beds will be trampled. Sidewalks will be razed. Don’t worry, I’m going to pay for any necessary repairs with all of your money."

This was really good, though we suppose it's inevitable that once "Social Media" becomes "Mainstream Media" it loses its value as a place for activists except the ones that support the goals of the particular platform owner.
