Not one fucking minute of peace for these people. Their complicity should follow them every second of every day for the rest of their lives. We need to make sure it does even if our institutions won't. Every. Fucking. Second.

Alpha News is a website that has circulated a lot of false and racist claims about migrants running daycares in MN. The Trump regime appears to have released this video in an attempt to support their claims of self-defense, but the video shows the opposite and proves Ross is a cold blooded killer.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

ICE is a dangerous organization that acts with impunity. I’ll do everything in my damn power to hold the Administration accountable for the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and the death of Silvero and the shooting of Marimar in Chicago.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Chicago’s Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability is holding a special meeting next Thursday, January 8. This is in response to a 2000+ signature petition asking CCPSA to hold a public hearing to “understand the extent of CPD's interactions with federal immigration authorities.”

Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased. Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal! Venmo: KHPWtoydrive

My superpower is that I'm really good at helping people find the right gift.
@andymboyle.bsky.social
can attest to this. If I did a thread where I offered gift advice in exchange for proof of a donation to an immigrant/animal/reproductive health org, would anyone be interested?
