Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

From @ebonstorm.bsky.social “Empathy discovered after the fact — especially when experiencing the results of your hostile decision-making — is anything but. It is regret seeking sympathy. No true connection to the need for empathy has been established.” - Thaddeus Howze #TheAlliedForces

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

'He sulked, he slouched': Analyst claims 'puny' parade left Trump miserable www.rawstory.com/parade/ #TheTacoBell-end certainly looked rather miserable at that puny parade. Melania was falling asleep, and most likely would have preferred to be shopping! #LittleMarco kept yawning! Great times!😁

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

As a 22+ yr milspouse - this is a really serious reflection on very poor unprincipled Army leadership. Every single one of those officers asked to vet their soldiers should have absolutely refused. And they know it.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

What more do you need to see? The President of the United States wants his Immigration czar to arrest the Governor of one of the most populous states in the country.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Folks saying nonviolence "isn't effective" are missing one fundamental thing... context about what you mean by "effective." Does violence cause more terror? Create more immediate obedience? Sure. Is that what we're optimizing for? Folks terrorized into performing submission?

I was asked to write a thing for a cool thing. I can't make promises on things unless I've already done the work, so I went ahead and secretly wrote the thing weeks ago before starting negotiations. I just reread it and sat back and said, "Damn. I really wrote this? It's good!" What a feeling.
