RIP Little Bambino, who made me rip my favorite Adidas sweatpants climbing over a guardrail outside Broadview

We must imagine sisyphus doing massive bong rips

The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.

We don't know the true count of how many times agents brandished their guns at people in Minneapolis yesterday. But it definitely happened in multiple locations near 26th/Nicollet yesterday morning. Should go without saying, but will say it anyway—and this was after they just killed someone.

"I'm too small and weak to change things" sighed the pebble poised to start to the avalanche

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

A *lot* of the footage I've seen over the past few weeks of feds pointing guns at people have actually been of paintball guns likely loaded with pepperballs That there is a fuckin *gun* gun

a substantial fraction of my adult life has now been spent watching the worst of the worst reshaping our world. This cannot go on

Yeah this is EXACTLY what they did after killing Silverio Villegas González here. The ICE agents who killed him walked around the scene, picked up dropped gear and a magazine, holstered their weapons, and then one drove their car away. Cops helped them out and never even asked their names.

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

I believe in us, man

is this real??

Every ounce of strength in the world not to fedpost

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Don't know where it's coming from but the new blue wave resist lib ICE agent conspiracy theory appears to be "they're all on drugs" Seeing it more and more in the comments of any post about the feds This shit is exhausting

Just got back from the bar and have no idea why everyone's talking about it

Saltines after midnight don't count

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Everything I've learned about Will Stancil has been deeply against my will

This place is beautiful and perfect and beautiful

almost like hypermasculinity is just daddy issues

Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”

We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

the fact that Ross's first words after killing Good were "fucking bitch" is one of those things that makes me feel like every attempt to make feminist theory sophisticated was actually pointless. like no apparently there are guys who actually do just want to kill women for inconveniencing them

temporary street art, undisclosed location, Chicago

getting a lot of normal responses to this serious post

A thing I worry about is how all of this ends here in Minnesota. For the past week, people have stopped their lives to help neighbors. We are invaded and the occupiers are losing, especially in public opinion. But because the crisis is manufactured, it gets even harder for ICE to sell a victory.

A mother in our neighborhood was taken on Sunday. Her oldest is 15. The family couldn’t find her in the system until last night. She’s being held in a camp in Texas. She had status that was arbitrarily taken away. Doing things “the right way.” This 15yo is still going to school all week.

Perhaps a better world awaits us, after a lot more horrific bullshit, of course

They shouldn't allow videos of podcasts. That content should get taken down

One upside to running your own outlet is there's no pressure to force yourself into spaces you don't belong just to sell clips of fucking tragedy porn

Michael Rapaport eats exactly how you think he would

Church full of white people in the Midwest literally singing “we will abolish ICE” and guys like Chuck Schumer can’t bring themselves to say they will maybe possibly not give them another million dollars

Scenes from the south side of Minneapolis yesterday, where thousands marched against ICE and grieved the killing of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of DHS agent Jonathan Ross.

they see it as the ultimate form of betrayal. By race and gender they should belong specifically to white men and they obviously do not.

He circled her vehicle like a shark, got told off by her wife, came up to her again, executed her, and called her a “fucking bitch” as she died. This was a homophobic and misogynistic murder in service of the State’s project of ethnic cleansing.

Police and prosecution can only put women in a cage, not a pedestal, and I hope mainstream/ white/ liberal feminism can start to process that.

Honor Renee Good by picking up her work.

11 days ago I scribbled some disjointed thoughts about what a year of photographing the men of ICE felt like. Most of it isn't worth sharing, but these lines here—yeah. I guess. Yeah. All I can say this afternoon is God will know what to do with them.

🫠

One question I'd be asking right now if I was a Minnesota reporter is where the fed who killed Renee Good is. Has he been reassigned? Is there any mandatory time off? Is he back on the streets of Minneapolis or elsewhere with his gun?

We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

Every video is the same fucking video.

They killed Tortuguita in January 2023 and Aaron Bushnell burned himself alive in February 2024. Every winter a devastating anniversary, another to add to the list

People are "unmasking" the fed who shot someone today with AI while simultaneously circulating AI/fake photos of the victim before the shooting. Going to need a new quip besides "we live in hell" because it's getting old

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

Her last name was Good.

They killed her in front of her wife

Sometimes it doesn't feel possible to feel any more gutted. Then something else happens to scoop you out further.
