it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

the democratic party establishment pushing andrew cuomo over zohran mamdani is proof that they don’t really want to appeal to young men at all. they want to ostracize his coalition the same way they osteacized the bernie sanders coalition

Putting their bodies on the line is pretty much all Dems can do, given minorities in the Congress, but it's powerful insofar as they're seen as the legitimate representatives of the people. These are YOUR representatives they're grabbing & shoving! These are YOUR representatives they're silencing!

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

This is going on *RIGHT NOW* in Spokane.

SPD has declared an unlawful assembly and multiple people have been arrested. Police are preparing to teargas peaceful protesters.

I need answers from @mayorspokane.bsky.social and SPD about why they unnecessarily escalated this situation and supported ICE.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to β€œstand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground.

Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

"Serial rapist's treatment of his victims is once again under scrutiny". See how silly that sounds, L.A. Times? There's video of them shooting journalists in the back without warning, deliberately. The objective truth is that police in L.A. are targeting and assaulting press.

Anti-ICE rally at Seattle's Cal Anderson Park. From the fountain north the park is packed. Speeches from La Resistencia and Kshama Sawant. A rock band earlier let people come up and scream out their emotions. Micki Thorson is giving haircuts to raise money for Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.

People are in the streets because their futures are being looted from them and their families are being ripped apart.

Trump is unpopular and is sinking fast. Look at these numbers. Our greatest weapon is solidarity.

Stephen Miller presidency even more hated than Elon Musk Presidency.

SPOKANE, Wash. β€” Community members are gathering at the Spokane ICE office to protest the detainment of a 21-year-old Venezuelan man seeking asylum on Wednesday afternoon.

SPOKANE, Wash. β€” Community members are gathering at the Spokane ICE office to protest the detainment of a 21-year-old Venezuelan man seeking asylum on Wednesday afternoon. Former Spokane City Councilman Ben Stuckart wrote a call to action on Facebook, asking for support in protesting the detainment of the man, whom Stuckart became the legal guardian of 3 weeks ago

Stuckart said on Facebook that the 21-year-old has filed paperwork to seek asylum and was headed to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office for a check-in when the man and his friend, who is also from Venezuela, were detained.
A group of people was blocking the truck supposedly meant to take the men to the ICE processing facility in Tacoma, and cars are parked behind and in front of the truck.
"It's immoral, what's happening right now in our society," said a protester. "I just thought I'd sit in front of the bus and make sure that I can do everything I possibly can to not let my friend leave."

just so it’s clear why spokane is protesting and what triggered this in the first place, so it won’t get lost www.krem.com/article/news...

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields β€” and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border β€” in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Historically voters see border enforcement and treatment of immigrants already here as separate matters. They want strong border enforcement, but they want immigrants already here treated humanely. There is no precedent for Trump's terrorizing of immigrant communities to have broad support.

you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

In most countries, tourists are supposed to carry passports at all times. But we don't. It's too risky, they might get lost or stolen... I'm guessing a LOT of foreign-looking football fans are going to spend days or weeks in ICE detention because they went out without their papers.

The biggest argument against "people posting on the internet under their real names will improve civility" is the website where people will post the most ludicrous things right beside their CV.

Well after @jiachenjiang.bsky.social’s talk on managing attention at CodeMash I think I need to drop the β€œprobably” and just say I have ADHD. There weren’t really new concept for me, but more β€œHey all those things you have to do? Yeah, this is why.”

Protip on Parental IT: don't just set them up with their new wifi. Do a tabletop exercise with them to find out what they turn on and use in the morning for news, entertainment, recipes, and comms. You're doing a backdoor asset inventory, and you'll discover 30% more EPs than should exist :D
