Wear a mask (many benefits when you might be gassed, sprayed, or surrounded by COVID) and sunglasses. Park far away if you can. Buy a cheap un-smart phone off ebay, and leave the other at home. If it's filming you want to do, and you have the means, attach an (e.g.) go-pro to your body, no wifi.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

Democrats Determined to Squander Advantage on DHS Funding - The American Prospect Democrats are succeeding in getting a showdown on new rules for immigration enforcement. But will those rules amount to anything?

From me: Chuck Schumer's legislative demands for DHS funding are so narrow they almost mirror what ICE/CBP have just announced in Minneapolis. Just as Republicans were conceding the need to negotiate, Democrats pre-negotiated themselves into mush.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.

Wonder if Batya Ungar-Sargon know what slanderous names the Nazis called Jews, but for those of you that don’t know, it often mirrored ‘illegal migrant murderers, rapists, sex offenders, and child abusers’. There was even a name for it: the lust libel fathomjournal.org/the-lust-lib...

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

Misinformation Studies Meets the Raw Milk Renaissance A review of National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, “Understanding and Addressing Misinformation About Science” (The National Academies Press, 2025).

"What MAHA produces is propaganda: narratives designed to galvanize belief, build identity, and legitimate a political project.

The term “misinformation” treats this as a knowledge problem.

It’s a power problem."

Superb piece on how science can fight, by @noupside.bsky.social

Especially when you're t4t, bc, like 😎👀👀👀😈. You know?

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Bovino embarrassed them by failing, not by being a Nazi

His replacement will be a Nazi because it’s Nazis all the way up and down over there

Heads Up Minneapolis!

MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.

They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

I just… Letting fundamentally uncritical, uncareful, unserious, willfully ignorant people introduce "Gen AI" into the federal regulatory workflow for *Anything* is a terrible fucking idea with high potential for returning extremely negative chaos, but for Transportation in particular??? Holy shit.

What many may call mutual aid is basically just people looking out for their community members, their neighbours, their teachers, their co-worker, their local street vendor etc.

The far right this week: "bring a gun to a public demonstration and expect to get shot."

The far right on pretty much every lobby day at the Virginia capital in Richmond:

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

Not could. Have.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

there are many resistance actions that are worth going to jail over

posting on bluesky is not one of them!

Man shot in Minneapolis by federal agents identified as VA nurse: ‘He wanted to help people’ Alex Pretti, 37, worked in the ICU at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System and had assisted on scientific research

Alex Pretti took care of veterans as an ICU nurse. “He was a super nice, super helpful guy – looked after his patients," said @dimitridrekonja.bsky.social, who worked with Pretti both at the hospital and on scientific research. "I’m just stunned.”

What all the crowd shots won’t show you is this energy extends to the rest of the metro. There are additional huge gatherings of people all around the cities, ICE watch is visible on so many street corners, walk a few blocks and you’ll pass people clearly in the middle of distro

Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE.

They gathered to demand airlines to cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.
