I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Honestly trying to perform immigration arrests in crowded baseball stands surrounded by people who are two beers in and enthralled at every immigrant hitting dingers on the field in front of them seems like a nightmare

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

An important thing to remember about a certain government official now being on bluesky is that he recently insinuated he’d send ICE after somebody on Twitter. It’s very fun to dunk on such a massive loser but keep in mind his response may involve the FBI

Impressed with what Lander is doing here, and how he is doing it: Using his standing and platform exactly the right way, for the people who need his help; putting his body on the line because he knows he is awarded a level of protection from the regime’s abuse that more vulnerable people don’t have.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

thinking about how josh barro used to host "left, right and center" on a liberal public radio station, and he'd be "center" and liz bruenig would be "left." incredible range of opinions that's represented in elite discourse.

ny times reporters love adding a "bluesky is going to hate this article!" addendum on here because they both resent criticism and resent having to post their work on the only platform that doesn't throttle outbound traffic lol

This is rhetoric — the writer deciding to make their point about the ease of distraction through a cascading series of ever-escalating nested clauses to a buried crucial point. Just a masterclass in sentences that demonstrate their point not just through their information but their structure.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Obviously it's not exiling people to torture prison or leaving hundreds of thousands to die without essential medicine or food but stuff like this and Terry Moran is pettily but definitely establishing the premises of absolute dictatorship
