Chicago Dem, bleeding-gums liberal. Worried about what's happening/ what may happen. Trying to occasionally be funny about it. If it weren't for parasocial, I'd have no social at all. Hoping for more interaction here, bc Those Other Platform owners are 🚮

And of course they wanted to intimidate everyone else to keep us from protesting. The dismissals get a lot less coverage than the arrests, and they aren't as camera-worthy. H/T @rodi-coderage.bsky.social (Sorry, when I just reposted YOUR post, the original article wasn't visible at all)

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

IS this actually the "sad state of ICE's evidence retention systems?" Or is this the latest story they hope we'll believe? It was erased. No? There was a system crash. No? I've got it! It was never recorded. Nothing to see here. Move along.

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying
Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

Plus, cancelling the midterms when there are a lot of local and state elections, too, is impossible. Cancelling the elections would result in what? Locking in the current Congress? Nah. Not gonna happen. So if anyone says he should cancel any elections: laugh at them. Laugh hard. Then walk away.
