one of the ice agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

[Swede]

Every last one of them must be hunted down some day.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

1. Thank you for posting this, I'm on blue sky all day also and the only problem is

There’s no way to show anything that’s on there to anyone that doesn’t have blue sky that I know of.

People I know who do not have this app is almost everybody, even when I post it on Facebook they’re not going to see it.

It’s like the Charlie Kirk thing, if people don’t know that he said that Biden should be killed and all Gay people should be killed etc. of course they’re gonna say what a sad day it was when he was shot. Yes it was sad because violence is wrong not because he was some great guy.

[littlemissmartypants]

7. You can post links from both of those. I do it here all the time ...

The problem arises with posting some blue posts if the op has their content set to private. Then they won't show up.

If you want some tips on posting from other places, lmk and I'll help you. ❤️

[Eliot Rosewater]

23. Please do, the only option I see

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

OK I see it works here, I really meant Facebook I guess because that’s where I’m usually trying to post them. When I do this over to Facebook all anyone sees is the blue sky name and they have to go to the site and I think to watch it they have to be a member.

They must’ve changed something, I’ve done that over 100 times and did not see anything but the words blue sky in a box and now it appears to be going over whether or not people who are not members of blue sky can watch it when they click on it I don’t know.


Yes, something definitely has changed over at bluesky and that’s great, without your response I probably wouldn’t have tried again.

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. When I copy and paste it onto Facebook, shows the name of the blue sky member and I think the picture

Of their profile, and if I click on it I’ll be able to go to the app and watch it but I doubt anyone who is not a member will be able to and this is on Facebook.


Also I hit the arrow on the post hit share via then hit copy then texted it to a friend who is not a blue sky member and he could not watch it.

And when we tap on it here on the play button it does not play the video here it takes you to the app to play it and I would ask a non-blue sky member here to try that and see if they are able to see it.

[littlemissmartypants]

29. Most likely...

What you’re encountering is a privacy setting preventing you from sharing. One workaround is do a screenshot, then upload as your own post. I hope that helps. Lmk if you have more questions. ❤️

11. I was "suspended" from BlueSky ...

Last edited Fri Sep 19, 2025, 04:15 PM - Edit history (1)

… for “suspicious activity” over 3 months ago. No more information than that was given. I appealed. Not a meaningful word back. I think I was banned by bots and the 2 emails I got back in response to my 4 sent to them are meaningless bot blather.

Still no idea what happened. I certainly wasn’t doing anything at all except reading other people’s posts. I now just assume I’m banned without cause, a victim of a degree of ineptitude over there. But it is annoying when I can’t read DU links to posts over there.

ON EDIT: this is my second BlueSky post in as many days. Apologies, I don’t mean to flood the board. Guess I was hoping someone could direct me to a fix.

[Iris]

52. I think early in, they were getting a lot of truth social types and if you weren't posting that might have raised a red

Could you try again with a new acct?

[defacto7]

54. Same here soon after I joined.

They must be inundated by malicious actors so that some of us get undeservedly snared in their not so accurate radar. Unfortunately, once I mentioned it online out of frustration some may have started thinking they might be right, so I seemed to have been ignored a lot. Maybe it was my imagination. The net is weird these days.

[Dave says]

57. Meaning ignored here?

I've been here since 2002. While I don't post often, I've got 5k under my belt.

[defacto7]

60. It's probably my imagination.

Meaning here or anywhere else I've mentioned it trying to get a handle on it. I don't mean ignored as in the ignore feature; that I can't know. Just fewer comments. I know bots are necessary when there's high volume, but I miss human monitoring. I doubt we'll see that again.

[enough]

2. Such a manly Ice man

[Deuxcents]

3. And she persisted. She is all of us and we are all of her. 📎

[ReRe]

24. I seen that.

That lady was no bigger than a bird. And the SOB pushed her down hard! It might have made him feel like a manly man, showing off in front of his "buddies". But he was actually a little wimpy titty-baby coward.

[Irish_Dem]

27. The MAGAs are all man babies. Assaulting women and older people makes them feel manly.

[ReRe]

40. They make me

[Irish_Dem]

50. Disgusting sight. Big men with badges tackling tiny women.

[Walleye]

51. And they give us all this bullshit about persecuting transgender people to "protect women and girls"

[Irish_Dem]

55. They have to destroy you to save you.

[Walleye]

56. Yep, whether you want it or not. That's their premise.

[littlemissmartypants]

30. SDE

[ReRe]

41. Dummy me doesn't comprehend "SDE".

Tell me and I will try to remember.

[Norbert]

33. I'd hate to see how he teats his wife...

that is, if he found a woman desperate enough to want to marry him.

[obamanut2012]

4. He also very obviously grabbed her breast while doing it

[Irish_Dem]

28. What are the ICE Nazis doing in secret when no one is looking?

If they are sexually assaulting women in public, what do they do in private?

How many ICE victims are getting raped?

[moniss]

5. Quite obvious that if a protestor barely touches

an ICE-Gestapo goon, especially with sandwich, it is felony assault but if an ICE-Gestapo goon grabs a protestor and needlessly throws them to the ground it is no problem in the eyes of the Feds.

[LiberalArkie]

13. Actually any LEO. A guy I knew several years ago was charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer for sneezing in

their direction. LEO's are such fragile beings.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. One of these ill trained morons is going to panic and open fire if it hasn't happened already.

[dixiegrrrrl]

44. I am expecting the firing on unarmed civilians to be from orders, not panic.

Notice how fast trump's rhetoric is moving.

[allegorical oracle]

48. Have noted an increase in the violence of his social posts and offhand remarks to

reporters. A more ruthless tenor to them. Have hoped it's a measure of how desperate he's feeling.

[ImNotGod]

8. We all need to fight these Ice Nazi pigs with everything we got, are constitutional right to defend against tyranny. ny

[Irish_Dem]

26. We have a right to defend ourselves if assaulted.

[OldBaldy1701E]

45. For now.

12. Jeff Danziger on our new generation of ICE agents

[malaise]

14. This should be the last straw

That is all

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. OMG, I lived in that district most of my life.

It won't go over well in that community.

[Buddyzbuddy]

16. Such a brave agent of ICE. Yet he needs his identity hidden.

[GoodRaisin]

17. Krasnov will like this. Tough guys.

Soldiers picking on weaker people and throwing them down. Girls half their size. Krasnov loves picking on the weak. Tough duty for his tough guys. Wonder why we aren’t seeing this on national tv news?

We’re probably not that far away from when he tells his soldiers to start shooting people. He will like that.

[B.See]

18. Trump's GESTAPO, like Trump, is

not only above the law, they ARE the law, and the law is whatever they SAY it is.

in Trump's fascist America.

[flying_wahini]

19. I keep hoping someone starts pulling off their masks when the cameras are on. They have enough people to do it.

[groundloop]

35. You'd find that they're Proud Boys and other J6 insurrectionists.

And no doubt whomever dared to pull down their masks would be charged with assault, attempted murder, and any other made-up charge the gestapo could think of.

[Timeflyer]

36. Proud Boys probably enlist in ICE in droves.

[bluestarone]

59. Thinking the same here, BUT

Then they could file some sort of PHONY assault charge on you?

[Exp]

20. Holy fuck. This is all so bad. Right-wingers have most of the guns and are itching to fire them at us. nt

[OldBaldy1701E]

46. What makes you think that 'right-wingers have most of the guns'?

Because I am not so sure that their majority is as high as some people think it is.

To be honest (maybe because of the more rural areas I grew up in), I have never met someone who owned 'one' gun.

[Exp]

58. I know liberals with firearms, but only one that has an assault style rifle. The rest have hunting or target rifles,

mostly bolt-action, not the 30 round magazine semi-auto rifles that many right-wingers have.

That's what i was thinking of, fire-power, the ability to kill in mass. I think we lefties are outnumbered.

[OldBaldy1701E]

63. There is also the little matter of our massive technical expertise, scattered across many disciplines.

Projectile weapons are just one type of armament these days.

We may not be in as weak of a position as one might think.

[lastlib]

21. These Gestapo-wannabe goons must be shut down!

This crap is intolerable. People. Have. Rights. - - - - - - - -

[Joinfortmill]

22. Our own homegrown "Brownshirts". Americans are getting really pissed off...

Elections have consequences, and there will be mid-term elections. But it's gonna get really nasty out there around election time if the TrashCan in the White House isn't dead yet.

[dlk]

31. Fascist thugs in masks will be violent

They know they’re committing crimes and, so wear the masks. It’s what criminals do.

[demmiblue]

32. Side note: her partner is Ben Collins

Tell you what, it is a pretty beautiful experience to live in a house with someone who is roughly one million times braver than you.

— Tim Onion (@bencollins.bsky.social) 2025-09-19T19:00:38.730Z

[AverageOldGuy]

34. I will not comment

To do so and to say what I want to say would result in a visit from ICE, FBI, Secret Service, Gestapo . . . .

[yonder]

37. Looks like he copped a feel while he was at it too.

Effin pig.

[Aussie105]

38. I always wondered . . .

In childhood, when I first read about Germany during WW2, how the uniformed goons that made up the Gestapo, the SS, etc were recruited.

Now, I wonder the same about ICE and the other violent Trump goons.

What is it in some people to feel it is ok to be hired to violently repress fellow citizens?
And why their nearest and dearest are ok with that?

[red dog 1]

39. Fuck Trump!

[LeftInTX]

42. That also happened to a congressional candidate a few years ago.

They also threw her in jail for three days.

[Sparkly]

43. Oh my GAWD!!!

I wouldn't believe the brutality if I hadn't seen this. What kind of training did these men have to treat fellow citizens so brutally, for peaceful protests? She was even moving AWAY when she was chased and assaulted!! Absolutely horrific.

I hope this video is widely broadcast and that it helps the broader investigation into the criminality of these ICE and National Guard assaults.

Sickening.

[Ninga]

47. SHE WAS ASSAULTED! GRABBED BY HER BREAST!!

[Walleye]

53. So I guess all all you have to do is put on body armor, a uniform and a funny badge and the police will let you assault

Every day citizens. Where on earth is the Illinois state police in this?

[Ninga]

61. Well it's right there in the clip of him grabbing her

Then assaulting her and throwing her to the ground. If you and I saw then authorities should see as well.

[Walleye]

62. These right wing thugs actually like beating up on women I think

That’s why I get so angry whenever they talk about they are protecting women. I know it’s bullshit.

[lonely bird]

49. Iirc

Laura Ingraham cheered about this.
