Cause of death: Taintpocalypse

ICE is WHIPPING through my suburban neighborhoods — not uncommon to see them going 50 mph — race through red lights, veer across multiple lanes to get to off ramps, no blinkers. They’re going to hurt or kill someone (else)

I know these fascists will shoot at clergy. They did it in Chicago, I don't know how America will react if they kill a white member of the clergy on camera. My bet is that it will make past American riots look like a trip to Disney.

it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs: 1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts 2. cops must be present at all times during protests

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production

You are doing the right thing. It sucks to be under siege but you are under siege. And you won't be free while these law enforcement agencies continue to exist.

this is some of the best legal advice you will ever read

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

I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price. You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue. And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.

If you need inspiration to keep going right now, may I recommend the story of Robert Smalls, who stole a confederate steamboat and piloted his family and almost 20 others to freedom and went on to become one of the first Black people elected to Congress ✊🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/life/b...

This is insane. Brooks says everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows. Then the host asks him what it shows and he refuses to answer. “Left and right are equally to blame for everything all the time” is also an ideology!

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Think it’s always a good time to note that they aren’t resisting not out of hypocrisy or fear, but because they understand “freedom” or “overreach” to mean something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Not freedom FROM oppression, but freedom TO OPPRESS. As ICE is doing. Or as civil rights efforts thwarted.

The fact that all these second amendment "we need ahr guns to resist guvment overreach" losers are now cheering on ICE versus citizens who are standing up to the government (with NO weapons) tells you everything you need to know about the hollowness of their ideology. Sad little scared boys.

This woman is deeply disturbed.

Neither self-care nor self-harm, but a secret third thing.

Let me just chime in and say that I ESPECIALLY judge any man who remains on X after this. Get off the creep site for creeps, dude.

If you want to participate in your own degradation on X that's your business. But please don't congratulate yourself for it

i have written this a few times now but the reason JD Vance spends all day posting is that they barely tolerate his presence in the white house and have locked him out of every decision of consequence. he is basically unemployed

You must understand this if you want to understand what we're up against: they leaked the video for *recruitment purposes*

One Ballsack After Another

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is the heart of it. Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.

Keep filming these assholes. Keep making them famous.

There's no "training" to "reform" this culture of violence and impunity, the only solution is to eliminate the agency and fire everyone associated. Before someone whines "but but you need immigration enforcement" okay explain to me exactly how this is "immigration enforcement." It's just thuggery.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

If you had predicted with precise accuracy any of our current top stories this week during the ‘24 election, it would have been dismissed as Trump Derangement Syndrome by most of the professional takesmiths.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

“How could Johnathan Ross join ICE when his wife is an immigrant?” Thomas Jefferson used to assault his slaves and then sell the children from those assaults Yall are always 300 years late to every conversation that has ever been had.

AOC: That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Hey did you know that this year, amidst and because of all of this, Americans have a more positive view of immigrants than at any point in recorded history?

it matters that this is what was said to a man immediately before he decided to murder her

It's also always a good time to wholly cut any Republicans out of your life, if for no other reason than your safety.

Yes, because you know whose names we do not know? The names of those killed in ICE detention. And even there Black immigrants have long been detained at higher rates.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.

The Banshees of Ed Sheeran

once again we are all tapping the sign

ICE killed an unarmed mom and the administration's response was to drag her corpse through the mud by calling her a terrorist

I'd love to see a reporter ask rank-and-file ICE agents if they understand that the administration is clearly hoping one of them gets killed out there. "Are you ready to give your life to become a meme pushed by incels on Twitter for a couple days?"

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

ganz and i have a new episode of our weekly politics show up! www.patreon.com/posts/unclea...

Alice Walker’s novel Meridian, about the civil rights movement in the South (published in 1975), deals with this topic in a fairly complex way.

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

I mean come the fuck on, liberal white women are a CORE demographic of the party, and MAGA is now stating it believes it legally can execute them in the street like feral dogs.

Yes! Yes!! My party is in power!! Time to hit the streets and do violence to my neighbors!! I'm assuming of course that no social, cultural, or political forces, let alone those caused by my own gleeful actions, will ever tip the balance of power away from us

This is being reported as if it's new information or a shift by Colorado Gov. Polis on clemency for Tina Peters. It's not. Polis has long said he'll consider Peters' clemency case like any other but won't be pressured by Trump. Gov's office confirms to me his view is unchanged.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
