ICE PIGS ROT IN HELL really speaks to me, thank you Hannah Einbinder

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

Screenshot of a Bernie 2016 "Issues" page from his campaign website. On the right it shows Bernie Sanders, an older white gentleman, smiling and waving from behind a lectern. To his left, a real policy plank has been altered to instead read: "Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam. Ilham Omar is a leader of courage and grace, who stands firmly against the horrors of war and western imperialism. When I am the President, we will finally give her a Gundam". Below that is Bernie's signature.

It's time to revisit this 2016 platform plank

couldn’t hack it at ups. well time to be a nazi

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

Relatively low unemployment due to immigration suppression does not = consumer confidence or spending. Not sustainable.

I've said many times over the past year that the task before the left of center is to build new, functioning institutions in place of the old and failed ones. I think Minneapolis is the perfect example: state and local govts no help, courts a mixed bag, but the people built their own networks

they’re ceding their own prestige

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

blue gray ink that says ICE MELTS on white paper

I will say that the advantage of being a reporter-photographer is that it pushes you to get even closer to events as they happen, and to literally approach them from different angles.

The result is (often) a far more visceral experience with events than if you were just standing nearby.

About nonprofit journalism:

This (great!) NYTimes report MN protests has 4 bylines and 2 photographers.

My story on a clergy gathering and protest in MN that same day was…just me, and I took the photos.

That's absolutely not a brag (I'd LOVE 4 reporters out there!) — it's just the difference.

"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the provision establishing the Medicaid community engagement requirements will reduce federal Medicaid outlays by $325.6 billion from FY2025 to FY2034, & the SNAP provision will ⬇️ federal SNAP outlays by $69 billion over the same 10-year period"

girl you spent $40k on ugly designer shoes!!!! that’s a carrie problem carrie!!!!

the most insane episode of sex and the city is the one where carrie throws a temper tantrum because she is bad with money and tried to make in charlotte’s fault

Doctors in Minnesota decry fear and chaos amid Trump administration's immigration crackdown Doctors say immigrant patients are missing key medical appointments, afraid to come to medical clinics amid the Trump administration’s sweeping Minnesota immigration crackdown.

People outside of Minnesota should know that a lot of ICE agents are harassing, assaulting, and abducting people in plainclothes and unmasked.

Plainclothes ICE agents are especially likely to be in places people visit out of necessity—like hospital lobbies.

this is crazy.

“I don’t believe in phrenology, but I do believe in phrenology”

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

she came at this man ready to beat his ass. he's lucky the bodyguard intervened

bro whistles are the NICE option. do you really want to challenge 1,000 nerds with 3D printers to invent something louder and more annoying???

i'm being flip but when i think about the guys who are gassing preschools and putting children in camps and killing people both on and off camera--complaining about WHISTLES--i understand why dante was like no, we need way more kinds of hell. at least nine

An overpass occupied by people with signs, and a large banner between them that says, "Come for one, face us all." Because Fuck ICE, that's why. This is not my photo. I don't know who it belongs to.

Just outside Seattle on I-5 🤘

Missing from the gun debate: Trump’s own experience with concealed carry The president talked in a 2012 interview about his guns and a concealed carry permit he held in New York, but hasn't raised his experience at recent White House events following the Parkland shooting.

This has been a thing with Trump since at least 2012: www.politico.com/story/2018/0...

Not entirely true that Trump’s “never been a gun guy” — he had a concealed-carry permit and at least three handguns before his 2023 felony indictment (and subsequent conviction): www.cnn.com/2024/06/05/p...

second sitting black congressperson to be assaulted in the past week. all the violence seems to be coming from one side, and it ain’t ours

when the internet finds out Megyn Kelly hates whistles 🤣

well fuck, now I gotta put in my will "don't use chatgpt to write a speech for me you dunkises"?

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Wow.

The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

This is the move. Use Signal for everything - I’ve been doing that since 2017 and have convinced a lot of other people to do the same.
