The fact that the response to Hasan saying “I’ll vote third party over Gavin Newsom” is to try to harass/shame him into voting for Gavin (implicitly treating Gavin’s candidacy/views as inevitable) instead of saying “maybe we should change to convince him” is everything wrong with electoral politics.

Remember when Fortnite was a PvE game and they kept it around even though it wasn't doing great and at some point someone said I dunno, let's try it as a battle royale?

Imagine if Epic had just laid the team off after like four days.

can’t say it fills me with pride as an american to see a bunch of australians responding to videos of police brutality with variations on: “this looks like ICE. this looks like america. how far have we fallen?”

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Catnip is a helluva drug. #caturday

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

This was my boy Timba a few weeks ago.

At my job "my cat looked sad" is listed on the confluence page as a valid excuse to take time off.

Cat tax included. This is Jalad.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Happy #caturday from the babies!

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Woke up to find Timba in the window bed.

I hit my Fitbit step goal by pacing in my house.

Let's all never go to work again.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Oh so now that the police in Minnesota are also being stopped, and having guns pointed at them, it's becoming an issue?

People are praising this police chief for "speaking out". Why?
This is a Republican fucking standard. "If it's not happening to me, it's not happening". Thanks for the, help 🙄

The median Minneapolis moderate right now is like “GET THESE CRIMINAL GHOULS OUT OF OUR CITY” and working arm-in-arm with DSA. People not from here cannot comprehend the degree of factional rancor that instantly evaporated when the men with masks showed up

Guessing he wasn't a fan of the inescapable sense of guilt that comes with unnecessary separating families in the name of the law storyline.

About 20 hours of sleep all week until yesterday. Last night, without the time pressure of work squeezing me on both ends, I only pull 4.

*Gandalf voice* for he both hates and loves the kittens, as he hates and loves himself.

I've been struggling with finding any moments of happiness outside of being home with my wife and cats, but these pictures I took of Jalad made me laugh for like 20 minutes the other night.

Make no mistake, this is what they support.

I find it amazing that the President of the USA tells Iran not to employ military on the protesters in Iran. On the same day he threatens to employ the military on Protesters in the USA.
Hypocrisy is not lost on me.
