For many years, ICE has focused its attention on people with some kind of interaction with the law enforcement system (statistically a low-level offense). Being fingerprinted gets people on ICE’s radar. Detaining people with clean records was a fairly low priority. Under Trump, that’s changed.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

"You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half." Right about 1:03 he makes a little heaving whimper, then you can see her start to crack & then suppress a smile followed by adjusting her clothing & hair to cover for it.

man, this has got to be a golden age for pre-teens who are just champing at the bit to use the f word

The people showed up for democracy today. Not for this fascist.

If one of them had a joint it would be *perfection*.

Funny, that... 🤔

...or they had, & so planned this one to resemble that as little as possible while still technically providing the bare minimum definitional features & following orders to the letter but not one iota more. 🤣

...or any other day, for that matter. ❤️

No Kings

Active Duty Military or National Guard?

1. People seem upset that I associated the language in Trump’s Gold Standard Science executive order with the science reform movement, in this Guardian piece. “Trump would have attacked science anyway” Of course. But it’s not Trump that is the biggest concern. It’s the courts.

God is angry. No Kings.

Awesome job, Devils. You detained a SOLDIER ON THE WAY TO THE VA. Front page heroic actions, preventing a veteran from getting care at a hospital. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Here's one for @madameaskew.bsky.social 🫶

Please. I’m begging people to stop sharing memes and posts telling people to sit down if a protest gets escalated. This is going to get people seriously hurt or killed.

We do what we can, when we can, how we can, & do better as we can, but cut some slack where we just can't. The work is never Done, & we can never do Enough, but that doesn't make it not worth doing. Do it anyway.

“We’re not a king at all, thank you very much,” said Donald Trump on Friday, using the royal “we.” You cannot make this stuff up.

Working at the Hotel Pfister gift shop in Milwaukee, I sold a USA Today & Alka-Seltzer Plus cold medicine to Michael Stipe. I later learned he'd flown in, booked into the hotel, & hit the road to Madison, where Tori Amos was playing with a cold that night, so I infer the cold medicine was for her.
