I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.
@padilla.senate.gov vote NO on the spending bill and cloture. Don't give an inch to the coup that is taking place right now. Do your job to defend the Constitution.
OK, Bluesky, let's try this: Between now and the end of Trump's speech, ask me anything about the democracy issues swirling around your head and I'll try my best to answer.
The more folks we have asking, the more fun it'll be... please feel free to share this with the folks who follow you!
Realistically, how does the US ever recover from this administration?
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Wow…
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
18f.org
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.
Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
Services are already shutting down.
The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.
BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.
Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.
@lastweektonight1.bsky.social right up your alley here
Fox News Headline: Sen Smith (D-MN), Musk Trade Blows Over DOGE Photo: side by side of Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Elon Musk.
That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?
By its own actions, Russia is an enemy of the United States. We can’t afford for our enemies to become stronger. It’s dangerous to America’s national security for President Trump to help give away Ukraine to Vladimir Putin.
Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
NEW --There's this guy in the executive branch who in less than a month has already spent NEARLY 11 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money playing golf.
Yet the whole thing has flown under the radar of the crack waste/fraud/abuse squad over at DOGE somehow.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

He is describing a dictatorship. One key difference between the US and Hungary has to do with that first bunch of Constitutional amendments.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.
Absolutely terrifying what we are seeing on day one. This is going to be hell the next few years.
Rewatching The Goonies tonight and wow is it an all timer. Still holds up after all these years.
@fmrico.bsky.social this was originally done for ROSWorld 2021 and included some proprietary executors from various companies as well.
Full talk is here on YouTube if you want to watch it:

@fmrico.bsky.social any links? You should add this to the ros-realtime/autoware_reference_system repo and generate a report to compare against many different executors
Just became a dad a few days ago and wow, what an amazing roller coaster of emotions 😅😌
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
You are an American hero 🙏🙌 love you George!
