Cano, Bluesky Collector’s Edition

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

Screenshot of the US Department of Agriculture website for Food & Nutrition Services. An orange warning box at the top of the page reads "Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance."

Every bureaucrat involved in this sort of thing needs to either be jailed or guillotined (or both)

If you walk into a room and forget why you are there, it's because the scripted event failed to trigger.

You're welcome.

My dad sent me this

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Ooof ye, I had to have mine out a long while back, that is not fun. Hope recovery gets better for you

Oh man, that sounds rough :( thyroid?

The crazy thing is that even on its face this isn’t helpful because the photos mostly look pretty identical, with the only differences being the patches. And this is part of the issue: uniforms should be uniform, otherwise they’re not, y’know… uniform, and you can deny accountability.

ID: A post on Twitter by @NickyFrank30 reading: My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

"Magda Goebbels made a great strudel"

Imagine the Illusive Man from Mass Effect saying this

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

couldn’t be more representative of the current media landscape that the video trump posted of him dumping his own shit on people “appeared to be” ai generated. we have to hear out both sides of this, it could be real, who’s to say

We have come to expect a dose of political theater in the political branches, drama designed to rally the base or to rile or intimidate political opponents. We also may expect there a measure of bending sometimes breaking the truth. By design of the Founders, the judicial branch stands apart. We rule on facts, not on supposition or conjecture, and certainly not on fabrication or propaganda. I urge my colleagues on this court to act swiftly to vacate the majority's order before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur. Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.

Judge Graber, who is no firebrand, wrote quite a dissent—encouraging en banc review and some patience on the part of the public:

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

A backwards version of this for me: the area just east of Orlando is "Oviedo", which is named after a city in Spain (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oviedo), so I usually pronounce it with a Spanish accent ("Oh-vee-EH-do") but everyone else here pronounces it "Oh-vee-do")
