David Wantroba @dig4wax.bsky.social · 08/06/2026At work we have a compactor for cardboard. We tend to “shoot” boxes inside like we are playing basketball. Being old school I’m usually yelling “Jordan” as I take shots. Today my coworker was at the machine putting boxes into it. I yelled “Wemby”!!! and threw a small box at his back 😂 000

Reposted by David WantrobaMike Nellis @mikenellis.bsky.social · 24/01/2026The reason these ICE agents are so damn aggressive is because they want you to think twice before protesting them. Fuck that.

They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror. 7942725010503
