My local branch didn't have the new library card in stock. I came home and sulked then decided to go to the main branch in the rain. I'm glad I did.

I just watched the first 4 episodes of Wonder Man and I loved it. This is a superhero story. It's what the bronze age was trying to do. Before the 90s become the splash fights. @keithb10.bsky.social brought up Astro City which is a good reference. The spaces between the splash pages.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Hundreds marched through San Francisco Saturday evening in solidarity with Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. It was at least the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in three weeks.

I've been playing Pikmin Bloom and it is keeping me calm during all this. I walk. Plant flowers with my Pikmin and join mushroom battles. I did make some in game purchases and my son said the micro transactions are taking me over. 🀐

RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad's final salut at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to "fight the good fight"

Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents See how immigration officers escalated a fatal confrontation on Saturday.

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

#1 in Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension v. Noem (D. Minnesota, 0:26-cv-00628) – CourtListener.com COMPLAINT against All Defendants (filing fee $ 405, receipt number AMNDC-12575332) filed by Hennepin County Attorney's Office, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Filer requests summons issued....

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."

MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

The Republican numbers on these polls are never going to move - what's going to happen is that in a few years, nobody will have ever been a Republican.

Shooting mothers, nurses, while arresting priests and toddlers - this is what comes of that. Their terror campaign is completely backfiring on them. People aren't backing down, they're just getting enraged and radicalised.

You literally cannot trust a word they say about anything. They are unapologetic liars and killers. This is our political reality.

There’s no way around this: They will lie to justify the killing of their political enemies. They are doing it. This is a fascist regime.

It is also a weak and unpopular one, and it won’t last.

I've been carrying my passport card with me ( I have both a book and a card). Today I went on a SF City Guides tour of Chinatown which explored the horrible racism they lived under. One of the things was that people had to carry their papers. I commented nothing has changed.

YouTube video by Warner Bros. "Wuthering Heights" | Tickets on Sale Now | Featurette

Umm... I have to say something... Wuthering Heights is not a romance novel. It's a story about one man's revenge against two families he feels wronged him. The novel has elements of Gothic romance, but Catherine and Heathcliff are far from romantic. πŸ’€ www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bf_...

I've seen some folks giving into doomerism by citing the US's history of paramilitary violence shutting down fair elections in the South, and I want to add some historical context to support Jamelle here (as an historian of Reconstruction paramilitary violence)

yeah man, what would i, a black guy from the south, know about thugs intimidating people out of voting? what possible experiences in my family, which has been here since slavery, could ever inform my perspective?

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.

Yes there will be consequences to regular people defying orders to do what's right.

That is precisely the point.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat
