it’s such a weird conceit of American journalism to enforce the batshit idea that people will only trust us to tell the truth if we ostentatiously lie about our (supposed lack of) personal opinions

I agree w this, network effect is key. but also, it would help Bsky to have a Getting Started feed that includes a mix of top accounts, tips on how the app works, useful posts (ie Mayor Josh), that can serve as a welcome-and-onboarding flow for new users who don’t know the Old Ways to find follows

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was? Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.

Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

This was incredibly effective in downtown Portland as well. Many battery-powered ones break down into two pieces and are light and small enough to fit in a backpack.

The trick on Bluesky is - DO NOT argue with sockpuppets, burners, bots, or otherwise ill-intentioned accounts with 5 followers, nothing good can come from it - DO argue with actual people with 5 followers because you have something emotionally that makes you do it, this is poster’s code

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Yeah, they’re in general doing a good job with the Murderbot show, but this week’s epi was a miss. The dramatic parlor room scene was so dull and every joke fell flat, esp what’s her face. Introducing an OC after cutting some of the PresAux crew can only mean she’s a Chekov’s gun of some kind…

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.
