Once again it's women and trans people on the front lines.

You hate to hand it to the fucking NYT and yet

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

I think one reason for the prevalence of less-lethal weapons is that the govt knows leos are going to shoot people almost as a self-soothing thing when they get yelled at and it’s a way to keep it from being a Boston Massacre every time.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

As you listen to DHS and ICE offer their excuses and justifications for murdering an American mother in cold blood, a quickly-forgotten reminder from Chicago: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

When the cop murdered Philando Castile his girlfriend and her 4 year old daughter were also in the car.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

“You have a right to flee for your safety, and so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.” - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, June 2025

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Kelly urges people to not talk about how "untrained" the ICE agents are, because they are kidnappers, & we don't want smoother state violence apparatus.

I want to believe that this is a breaking point but USians have a limitless capacity to swallow injustice because every elite tells you there’s no other option and everyone has to go to work.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.

Wow, Hilton, you just blew the greatest public relations coup and bout of goodwill and relevance your brand could've ever hoped to score. You've chosen to stand against your own employees on the wrong side of history. I'll never understand why corporations make such dumb moves. Read the room.

Stay vigilant. Hug a friend. Join your neighborhood rapid response, sign up to deliver groceries, attend a legal observer training, help canvass local businesses with know your rights info–there’s ways for everyone to plug in. We need everyone.

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

Renee Nicole Good is a martyr to the Republic long live her name. She was murdered doing the right thing, for all of us, everywhere.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

RIP Hungarian slow-cinema master Béla Tarr. In 2020 and 2023, we published writing by @nothingunfinished.bsky.social and Lewis Peterson on Tarr's enduring works SÁTÁNTANGÓ (1994) and WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES (2000).

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

James Talarico: When we win, we will launch a full investigation into ICE and we will haul these masked men in front of the Senate so the world can see their faces. We will pass a law requiring ICE agents to identify themselves and ban them from kidnapping people off our streets without a warrant.

an eyewitness to the Minneapolis ICE shooting told me the victim appeared "obviously scared" and "was going to leave" before an ICE agent fired multiple shots "right into, it seemed like, her face" www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-sh...

They also killed someone in Camarillo in July. The way that the invasion of LA has been memory holed even as it continues to this day, makes me insane

My worry isn’t just that this is correct. My worry is that if Congress doesn’t do something soon, people may start actually weighing this option.

Thinking about what happened to Germany the winter they tried to invade the USSR for absolutely no reason at all.

Evergreen: The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.

One thing that shouldn't be missed is that the woman murdered was queer and was murdered right in front of her wife. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

That poor woman’s body isn’t even cold and they’re about to dig her up just so they can assassinate her again.

Thinking about how in 80s Minneapolis teens formed Anti-Racist Action to fuck up Nazis. ARA went national, kicked entire generation of Nazis off US streets And that in 2020, Minneapolis rose up for George Floyd & burned down precinct, inspiring biggest uprising in US history

This is interesting because when I went for my first Covid vaccination, Farage arrived and pushed straight to the front of the queue.

"...an informed Christian conscience must recoil at the means by which federal officers are currently enforcing the policies and orders of the executive branch, and the conditions under which most detainees are being held..."

"I urge any who are involved in the administration of the current immigration enforcement regime at any level to seek the counsel of their clergy, given my urgent pastoral concern for the moral and spiritual injury that their participation is causing them." - Bp. Rob Price of Dallas, 1/1/2026

So the killer is going to end up getting invited to the next CPAC isn’t he

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

important message to all bluesky users

the front passenger's seat and glove compartment are filled with a little kid's stuffed animals. i am shaking with anger

Nobody start up with ICE needing training. The only training they need is onsite training for their new non-Nazi jobs.

Threats of war against our allies and soldiers shooting civilians in the streets. Sometimes I wonder if anyone in the WH ever stops and wonders if maybe things have gotten a little out of hand. Not moral regret necessarily, but just like a vague sense of being in a plane that’s started shaking.

You have to take their money. Period.

I’m of the firm belief that police and militia members have been quietly running right wing death squads in the US for years. The fate of the most notable Ferguson protestors is the most blatant example of it. ICE in 2025-26 is simply the same people operating in public.

FYI, on the Minneapolis shooting video: Bluesky hasn't taken it down. It's been labeled as "graphic media" so that people can avoid it if they choose. You can change your personal settings on whether you see media labeled as graphic (or whether it appears with a warning) here: bsky.app/moderation

This is the ICE/CBP agent responsible for mudering a woman in cold blood. Source: @pabloreports.bsky.social

Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social (via her critical newsletter) for reminding me of this timely poem from Wendell Berry, entitled Real Work.
