Goodnight Blue Sky

Concerning…

The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

Well, that's a first: my cat just hung up the phone during the middle of an interview I was conducting. Pictured, Ygritte with the paw she used to commit the crime in question:

Also Jewish here! I too think genocide is bad and Zohran Mamdani is a great choice for NYC mayor. Please for all that is good in the world -- and for every survivor you know -- don't rank Cuomo. Pass it on.

It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

I’m so glad I holidayed in America last year. I don’t know when, or if ever, I’ll be back. 🥲

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

Authoritarianism happens gradually. Then all at once. You're in the gradually part.

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person. ~ Fred Rogers

This is really cool. ESA's PROBA-3 is two spacecraft that fly in precise formation ~200m apart. One acts as a disconnected occulter for the other, generating a real artificial eclipse to reveal the Sun's corona. Congratulations to Andrei Zukhov and team for an astounding accomplishment! ☀️🛰️🧪

FIRST FINALS GAME 7 SINCE 2016. BIGGEST NBA GAME OF THE DECADE THIS SUNDAY.

Damn Final Fantasy Tactics was spitting facts in ‘97

Folks in rural areas: The Big Beautiful Bill will close your local hospitals after the Medicaid cuts take effect. Tell your senators your community needs them to stay open!

Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock. He was a great friend to Gwen and me, and we will miss him deeply. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Life has bright spots. Most of them are furry and purr.

Ice said the people at Dodger Stadium WERE NOT ICE. Let Ice wear uniforms, show their faces, give Court orders, provide due process.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Good story 🤗🐏

This Juneteenth, remember that slavery is still legal in the US. Just look on prison farms, often former plantations, where incarcerated people are still toiling in dangerous conditions for no pay. worthrises.org/blogpost/202...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

And this isn't just any Dodgers game. It's a Dodgers/Padres game. Yet ICE says there's no particular reason they wanted access. Sure, Jan. GTFO.

Reports indicate chaos erupted inside a secure bomb shelter where Prime Minister Netanyahu's family were located. Settlers stormed the bunker, confronting security forces and physically attacking Netanyahu’s son in a shocking escalation of public anger.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
