You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

Judge ends asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family, orders family's removal

The family’s lawyers plan to appeal the judge’s decision to deport the family to Ecuador.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

My niece today: "will the game be played at the New Hampshire Plus Sign Stadium?" We insisted that isn't a thing. She insisted it was. After about 7 minutes and an instructional drawing, we learned she meant the New Orleans Saints (because the fleur de lis looks like a plus sign).

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

Do you REALLY think someone as media-savvy, narratively skilled, informed, or demonstrably compassionate as Bad Bunny would even OK having Liam Ramos be part of a ✨dance number ✨as the vicious deportation efforts continue and present him with a panacea in the form of a Grammy and a hug. Do you.

FYI: The little boy in Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime show wasn't Liam Ramos as some have said, it was a child actor: Lincoln Fox www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/...

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

Ah yes, Donald Trump, a leading expert on appropriateness in front of children.

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

Remember that under the first Trump administration, Puerto Rico had to suffer through the longest power blackout in U.S. history bsky.app/profile/cost...

During his Administration, Hurricane Maria knocked out power to 1.5 million people in Puerto Rico and it didn’t get restored for ABOUT A YEAR! It was the largest blackout in U.S. history. This should be line one of any hurricane recovery political coverage. www.vox.com/identities/2...

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

The PRSL performance of halftime was excellent. If only it didn't require downloading a completely separate app to watch it. True accessibility is picture-in-picture, NBC.

Oliver butt update (buppdate?): was able to be lured into doing training and playing ball, and was quite happy. Then remembered his short butt hairs and went back to moping.

Oliver has been on his deathbed for 3 days because his groomer trimmed his butt hair too short and it itches so obviously he's dying.

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti? Vance: For what?

Common sense is abolish ice

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

"we only need regular police that arose from slave catcher patrols. none of this new fangled paramilitary. and put cameras on them! we want to watch when they kill someone!"

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Like is it good the trenchcoat nazi is gone? Yes. But let’s remember he was always a ridiculous member of the supporting cast.

Beware the sacrifice of the buffoon on the altar of ethnic cleansing.

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Joshua J. Friedman@joshuajfriedman.com · 8mo ago

Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

I think their line was pretty similar re: Philando Castile

Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The new conservative position on gun control is apparently that lawfully carrying a licensed handgun means you deserve to be executed in the street by masked federal agents

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

If by "more training" you mean "prosecture and exile the fuckers for the remainder of their days" then yea, we're on the same page

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

My community wanted to organize against ICE after an event yesterday. I worked on getting a seasoned rapid response organizer to attend. They decided that "it wasn't the time" for that and instead invited the chief of police. To organize against ICE.
