The defense industry spent $136 million lobbying the US government in 2025, per @opensecrets.org. It spent another $43 million on political donations for the 2024 election that seated our current government. www.opensecrets.org/industries/t... www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobb...

Kristi Noem once shot a 14-month-old puppy to death, which seems like relevant character context while witnessing her behavior as head of DHS. “I hated that dog,” she wrote.

The first words of reaction from Renee Nicole Good’s mother upon hearing about the circumstances of her daughter’s death were: “She was probably terrified.” As a mother, I keep thinking about that.

First the lies, now the cover up.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate advances a war powers resolution to limit further attacks on Venezuela and sets up a vote for final passage.

I read this post aloud to my 20-year-old daughter, and she said, “Yeah, that part.”

SCOOP: 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

James Baldwin is always worth reading:

This is normal for Black Americans. Our deaths are recorded for public consumption, the perpetrators get off, and the media commiserates that the victim brought it on themselves

ICE behaved this way AFTER having shot and killed the woman in her car:

Jesus. Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis. You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Black folks are not being "mean" to you when we are truthful concerning the historical pathologies of your kinsmen... Truth is the greatest love

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

James Baldwin is always worth reading:

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

I wanted to just share one story about a kid who spent a lot of time in the neighborhood where Renee Nicole Good died today. Prince got married at Park United Methodist just down the street from 34th & Plymouth; he went to high school at Central High a few blocks in the other direction over on 35th.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Abolish ICE. Really.

It’s important to balance our desire to bear witness with the need to protect our nervous systems—a balance that will differ individually. Stay conscious of the fact our choices will affect our nervous system regulation, whether or not we feel it in the moment. There is often a lag effect.

ICE OUT NOW

I don’t actually think it’s safe for Gustavo Petro to come to the United States.

Boycott, divest, and sanction the United States. We want and need you to.

Greenland is back in the news so I am compelled to remind folks that while yes, there are rare earth minerals there, the tech weirdos who have infiltrated the government have also been obsessed with Greenland as part of their network state plan for a long time. drilled.media/news/network...

I wonder why the thing the whole Bluesky has been talking about for the past several hours is not appearing in trending topics.

There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death. I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not. It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon. The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.
