Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
He actually did it. The pilot of Air Force One told Donald Trump if he didn’t shut the fuck up, he turned the plane around and go home. Probably 🤷🏻♂️
Minneapolis resident Patty O’Keefe, who was violently arrested by ICE, says one agent told her that "obstructing" agents is "why that lesbian bitch is dead,” referring to Renee Good. See our full report on community resistance: https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/20/minneapolis_minnesota_ice
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Is Bluesky supposed to be at least liberal leaning if not progressive? I’m not seeing it.
Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him
Sweet new song from one of my favorite bands
@cornershophq.bsky.social · last yr.For the rabbits Cornershop ft Eden review is all lovely especially how timely this passage hits: “The whole thing has a beautiful end-of-summer feel, a soundtrack to leaves turning golden, and holiday romances fading into happy memories, gone but certainly not forgotten” youtu.be/s-kaXqiYREM?...
