ICE means big bucks flowing from taxpayers to industry. And congress won’t touch the gravy train that keeps them elected. Late capitalism means extracting more and more value, even if that value is created by tearing apart lives, families, and communities www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/the-ice-cr...

So what happens when these tech companies become Wikimedia’s biggest revenue stream, and can then start pushing the foundation around, calling the shots as to what gets published? The advantage of being user-funded is the independence from corporate influence. Absolutely mind boggling decision

Been a minute since I shared this. Get in where you fit in and be adaptable.

It’s not a distraction. If it seems like far-right govts are very busy dismantling the world around you, it’s because all of those things are the Main Event. They want to do it all. It’s all their priority, not a massive circular distraction. There’s no conspiracy or marionette strings.

British Columbia’s human rights commissioner plans to tell the provincial government it should rewrite its laws and rules to more clearly protect the right of journalists to report on police enforcement activities, The Tyee has learned. @tyolsen.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli #CdnMedia

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

she didn’t say this at all, she answered my question about if she regrets past discrimination against trans people. not discriminating against trans people is “pedophilic trans grooming” to people like elon musk. absolute insanity

Carney, as Chairman of the Board of Brookfield Asset Management, gave $250 million to Musk to turn Twitter into X. Any questions?

i believe the photographer who is taking the photo is Christopher Katsarov of the Canadian Press, and here is his photo

This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

The Conservative Party claims to be about "free speech", but like the other political parties, it crushes dissenting views & aims to polarize and divide. We went to the town hall to listen, find connections with fellow workers/community members, and observe the fascist rhetoric. This is our right.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

If you believe the ICE agent felt his life was in danger when he shot Renee Good… How does that explain calling her a f*cking bitch after? Or denying a doctor access to give medical care? Or delaying EMS? Or fleeing the scene? Survivors can’t tell their side of the story.

45 seconds after the shooting, in the same video, the camera app appears to be visible on the agent’s phone as he walks away from Good’s vehicle.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ. This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

The way to scare libertarians about the ICE shooting is to ask them to imagine: what if that was you dropping off your girlfriend at her elementary school?

They installed code from Gravy Analytics, who resold the location data, then got breached. The breached data is being used in Tangles and Webloc, which ice is using to track entire neighborhoods.

Here is a (likely incomplete) list of apps that are enabling ICE to track your smartphone's location. Download, mirror, and reshare. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

A few things: 1. Read the room. 2. Crime is at historic lows in Canada. 3. Police do not prevent crime. 4. Funding for education, mental health, drug treatment, housing, youth programs, and other social programs reduces crime. 5. Canadians did not vote for this. #cdnpoli

Great news for Indigenous people

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

The Democratic Party refuses to confront authoritarianism effectively because it shares the same class interests as the Republicans.

conservatives are more angry about the coverage of the murder than the murder itself because JD and all these nazis think killing people who oppose them is good and they want to do it more without the pushback

#CANADIANS - It's TIME. Go and get your PAL (Possession and acquisition licence), buy a 3D printer, and gear up. We have been OFFICIALLY threatened by AmeriKKKa. If you need recommendations for gear. Please let me know.

Renee Nicole Good did politics the wrong way, by Ezra Klein

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.

“We’re very concerned, but we’re going to keep letting it happen for now.”

people figured out that Jonathan Ross was the murderer bc kristi noem mentioned that he'd been dragged by a car in a previous incident. she "doxxed" her own guy lol

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Folks, please don't do this. Don't post AI-generated "unmasking" photos of the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis. This is not this man's real face. This is three completely different faces. You're not helping anyone by sharing these. You're just muddying the waters.

COLD BLOODED MURDER: Here is a frame by frame account of a sadistic ICE Nazi who was looking for an excuse to murder Renee Nicole Good. Good was a legal observer who had been monitoring the Nazis in Minneapolis. 😳👇

Make it viral.

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

Here’s another slow motion breakdown of what happened today in #Minneapolis. It shows very clearly that the #ICE agent committed murder. There was no lawful reason for discharging his firearm, including the proximity of the other Gestapo agent. Notice how the other agent jumps back from the shots?

Remember, the hypocrisy is intentional. Freedom for conservatives is the right for them to kill you.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

remember to leave bullet casings out for ashli babbitt tonight ❤️❤️✝️

I keep seeing fantasies of a 300000 soldier citizen force, based on a leaked concept paper originating in NDHQ. First, there’s no actual plan. I’ve seen the actual documentation. It’s a bright idea at best. Secomd, the CAF is struggling to make up for decades of neglect now. 1/x
