Stop it with this shit. This is from Dec 5, 2025, not now, and not a single MPD officer has been fired for failure to intervene in the two months since then.

he did not say that. straight up. this is the most meaningless and toothless statement considering the use of force is going to be justified in the moment. he would say this about his own officers, too

butterfly meme "is this due process"

If you actually respect a person, you owe them your honest opinion and this is true especially when you disagree.

there is still a bewildering amount of people that think we are gonna fact check away fascism

if I ever kick the bucket please do not tag my rudderless accounts in memorial posts lol

protestors break one rule stencil doesn't like and he becomes the police lol

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

Thank you for listening to our demands: more money for ICE surveillance tech.

this is incoherent

the feds saying theyll end their campaign of terror against an american city if their demands are met is the biggest domestic scandal of my lifetime

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

banning the press from doing video coverage of activities that can get you RICO'd (not legitimately, might I add) or maimed or killed is good, actually you can be in solidarity or you can want to see your name in the paper, but it can't be both

no idea how you look around and think to yourself "you know what ICE needs? more laws to follow"

An ICE agent covered head-to-toe in body cams, just thousands of tiny cameras, beating the shit out of an old woman. That's the bipartisan dream

It's June 2027, all Democratic politicians have been incarcerated in ICE reeducation camps. Jain and Shor are on their third week of an earned media tour arguing that "abolish ICE" was toxic messaging

these ppl conflate what they think AI does with what it actually does. in reality they are too addicted to the illusion of convenience to truly interrogate the underlying forces behind the tech. really a have your cake and eat it too scenario to feel morally righteous using such a malevolent product

If you don't like what's on offer, make your own thing. I really wish more people would do this.

I've said many times over the past year that the task before the left of center is to build new, functioning institutions in place of the old and failed ones. I think Minneapolis is the perfect example: state and local govts no help, courts a mixed bag, but the people built their own networks

My Senator Raphael Warnock voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention, without bond, of non-citizens who committed certain crimes, which has led to over 17,500 people being detained or turned over to ICE: www.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

It is truly disappointing seeing how many people are responding to the current moment by appealing to some fictional version of the Democratic Party that clearly doesn’t exist. Have some self-respect.

we’re right about ai too

WRT my last repost: www.intothevoid.blog/post/don-t-f...

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

ICYMI: @285southatl.bsky.social reports that high school students in suburban Atlanta also participated in an anti-ICE walkout last week. 285south.com/at-a-diverse...

wait until he finds out about the police

They will try to sacrifice a few people to protect the project. But the project is the thing.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

don't know if the "abolishing doesn't go far enough, we need prosecutions" is born out of liberal ignorance, or a calculated measure by the democratic establishment to pervert the demand of abolition

ICE is part and parcel of the system of policing. asking for "trials and prosecutions" betrays an understanding of the simple fact that the system of policing isn't going to police itself I understand the impulse here, but we have already tried this and it only entrenches the status quo

this is what ive been saying. if a person without anything that identifies them as LEO fucking kidnaps you it seems like you have a valid self-defense claim? especially if they're refusing to identify themselves and have guns

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Genuinely need some members of congress on air to spell it out that this administration is doing everything they can to get a CBP or ICE officer killed so they can justify more violence

when you look up pedantic in the dictionary you will find this post

I love Ilhan but I have to say I really, really hate this message. What does it say to immigrants who are being snatched off the streets, beaten, detained in camps, separated from their families, sexual assaulted, denied medical care, etc that this “isn’t about immigration.”

ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live coloradosun.com/2026/01/23/a...

I always tell people that Trump wants to run America like Atlanta: a playground for a oligarchs and segregationists, where referendums can be annulled by decree, residents are more surveilled than any city on Earth, and dissenters get hit with RICO charges for the sin of handing out flyers

ive been workin on some anti-ICE stuff and wanted to get some input

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary. Should’ve been a warning.

y'all really don't understand how this works

By the way, ICYMI the person who killed Alex Pretti has been a border patrol officer for 8 years. "More training" is not a solution to anything.

it was always so pedantic

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

are y'all serious
