I have long admired @meredithmeredith.bsky.social, but this elevated my regard even more. Now, get back on the porch with the little dogs @askbillmitchell.bsky.social before you get really hurt.

he is such a treasure

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

E-Verify isn't super controversial, but if you want dems on board... do this:

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

#GVerse #Disturbing - Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under #Shit4Brains and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share. Repost!!!

As I write a new constitution for humanity... can it be in .yaml format?

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

Keep on keeping on

sometimes I wonder reps, sens, govs, presidents etc should have to be anonymous and are hired and fired purely on metrics

"As civil servants we took an oath that we took very seriously, and we continue to try and serve the public the best we can. We see [our MSPB appeal] as a continuation of that effort.” — @not-young.bsky.social

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Pertinent comment
