The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Looks like all the dregs from'The Nasty Party' are quite happy to migrate over to Russian-funded #Reform UK Ltd, evidently now making it 'The Nastier Party'.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Terrorist Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest with a rifle, killed people, and Republicans crowned him a hero. That’s not “law and order.” That’s fascist glorification of political violence.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

"Alex was murdered while he was helping."

Spent the morning with my mind in the Ordovician, 488 to 444 million years ago. The Iapetus Ocean was closing, and the Ballantrae Complex, an ophiolite, formed when seafloor lavas and deeper rocks were obducted on to the continent of Laurentia in what is now part of Scotland. #geology #EarthSciences

Get this, there’s another Trump Phone coming. The promised $400 Trump phone hasn't materialized, but that's not stopping the Washington's Mobster & Co. from trying to suck up more MAGA dollars. I guess MAGA isn't intelligent enough to know they are being scammed? www.theverge.com/news/866601/...

So I’m reading this and halfway through and I’m like, he’s gonna sue the polls. And welp a few more sentences down and there it is. FFS 🤦🏼‍♂️

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing. And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics. What could ever go wrong?

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

"Bamboo has a fast growth rate... Everything you can do with timber you can do with bamboo." With the construction industry accounting for ~1⁄3 of global GHG emissions, we badly need to use more bio-based materials such as bamboo - as well as prioritise retrofitting existing buildings.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime. Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace". The Prize is awarded by a completely independent committee. We are in thrawl to a petulant toddler 🤮 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.
