I just want to say that my favorite reply to this post was someone telling me I should read Harlan Ellison if I'm into stuff like this

Hey, if you need a reason to not support any upcoming Earthworm Jim stuff.....you can go on X, The Torment App and see the creator Doug TenNapel talk about how great AI is and quote tweeting everyone who disagrees. I wouldn't suggest it though.

It's already demoralizing to be a federal thug, a barely sentient ogre. Nobody likes or respects you. But then you go to work in -19 weather thinking surely today you'll get a break from people yelling at you. But no there they are. They're not even cold

imagine showing up to your office job and there's a crowd of people in the lobby heckling you every morning. "no one likes your emails" "your tie is ugly" lol. anyways i think everyone who works for ice should kill themselves

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Stephen Miller really is that worst case scenario of that kid who burnt ants for pleasure and you'd have to keep away from puppies who grew up to have actual power

remember when erick erickson was haha’ing about tossing his opponents out of helicopters?

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

I will keep repeating this until everyone gets it: The Trump regime could literally kill your family for no reason and Trump, the GOP and right wing media will defend their murder. This is what a fascist regime looks like.

I think people need to start realizing that things are gonna get much much worse before they get better, and steel themselves to that. And maybe accept that the end of the project maybe won't be seen by them, but it can be built for the generations after us.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It’s even worse than it looked in the initial video. Execution of a man who was trying to help his neighbor up. May he rest in peace and may these monsters never have another moment of peace in their lives.

For weeks I haven't felt like I had anything to say or anything to add, and I still don't, but the time since the Renee Good murder with everything only degrading further has been soul destroying. No longer waiting for institutional collapse and authoritarianism. It's here. It's already happened.

ICE is executing protesters the right way. by Ezra Klein

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

just saw the video taken by the woman in pink seen in the first video. just like Renee Good he was just waving cars through and doing nothing to threaten the ICE pigs and they just fucking shot him.

Months into this, not one person in ICE or CBP or DHS or the White House has suffered a single visible consequence. Not fired, asked to resign, impeached, reprimanded, not even suspended, let alone arrested. Things will continue to deteriorate until that changes. That's it, that's the whole story.

I work for a state agency and literally every single day our HR is disciplining employees for minor and major violations of policy and rules, and I have to declare if someone buys me a coffee, but if you work for ICE/DHS or are in cabinet, you can murder and take bribes and it’s all cool.

James Baldwin on the (white) dream of a return to normalcy: “People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

I'm not saying that to cheer ppl up; I think Trump is more dangerous than ever, especially in situations like this in which he screwed up and desperately needs to have people believe he didn't. But the idea that this is all part of his grand plan? No. All this video is bad for him and he knows it.

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

I need every fucking ICE officer to be this frightened.

the unbearable psychic damage of being alive in America and having a conscience

SOMEONE PAY ME WELL TO WORK IN COMMS IN THIS TOWN WHEN

I think our public servants should Read A Fucking History Book as there are many specifically about this situation!!!!

When it comes to documenting ICE activity, remember what Eisenhower said at the end of WWII. "Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

the senate democrats MUST shut down the government at the end of this month

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I don’t even think that you can call abolishing ICE a moderate position. It’s too much of a layup to be moderate. Putting all of them in jail for the rest of their lives is the moderate position.

Remember the part in Come and See where the partisans gun down all the Nazis they've taken as prisoners as vengeance for the community that was destroyed? What a striking moment

Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

I need every fucking ICE officer to be this frightened.

national strike to support this guy, specifically

I dont think every FPS is fascist propaganda but COD is, at this point, an extremely useful propaganda tool for a fascist administration
