And what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? goodnight all here’s to a better tomorrow

Coughing in the air filled with poison gas fired by CBP. "But it WAS a bad slogan, it WAS. If you had messaged better..." Gasping for air as your world fills with shouting and cries. "But the slogan."

We now live in full on authoritarian country. We have no congress, a corrupt administration, a corrupt Supreme Court, our military is led by a complete freak, no dept of justice, no dept of health. And...ice is the new gestapo. Shooting citizens at will. Our federal government....gone.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

There were reports of this happening every day for weeks during peak. Our lives mean nothing to them.

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old This regime has been defined by the endless tragedies it’s caused — we owe it to the victims to fight for the accountability they 💯 percent deserve

I met Renee and her wife just a few weeks ago. She fed me tea and cookies at her house while we talked about school stuff. Such a warm and loving mother. This is tragic beyond words.

Dexter Reed had at least three Chicago police officers with guns drawn shouting contradictory orders at him in his car just before they killed him.

It's not that ICE isn't about immigration; it's that immigration enforcement is about policing, which is violent and oppressive and hates protesters.

This administration and its goons are terrorizing the country. It is illegal and un-American. Trump must be impeached alongside everyone else in his administration. We need a true reckoning with what is happening with the Republican Party. There can be no bipartisanship.

Am I surprised the Gestapo openly executed someone on the street? Not at all. Am I surprised it took so long to happen? Yes. They are now going to become more openly gun-happy with the question of whether there will be any serious consequences

The claim that the shooter in Minnesota was injured and needed to be treated is undermined by a) he was seen walking away from the shooting, seemingly fine, and b) this is the same line the administration used to justify another DHS killing. Its a playbook. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

A real police officer who had shot someone would presumably have his weapon quickly taken from him by fellow officers for testing.

There should be firing squads and they should sell tickets whose proceeds go to reparations. Abolish ICE

Tim Walz: “We've been warning for weeks that the Trump administration's dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our public safety, that someone was going to get hurt — and today that recklessness cost someone their life”

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.

Frankly, this is also Biden's fault. He chose not to fully prosecute Trump and let things slide. Play nice with a felony, become part of the crime.

Don’t forget, this is America. The most important thing in this great nation are the feelings of law enforcement. If they feel scared for any reason, they need to be able, above all other laws, to shoot you without a second thought. It’s really our fault for doing something to make them feel scared!

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

Remembering the people who, back in 2016 or 2020, wrote things like "run them down!" celebrating vehicular homicide against protestors— and the state laws that formalized that celebration!— because it was so scary to be surrounded by protestors as to trigger the right of self-defense.

"Starmer’s defence secretary has admitted Britain was involved in Donald Trump’s seizure of a Russian oil tanker. The legality of the seizure is under dispute, as Russia says they had registered the ship, while the US claims it was stateless and being used to break US sanctions."(Declassified #UK)

"[DHS is] already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said following the shooting. "Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit." www.jezebel.com/ice-agent-ki...

With every bad headline, ask yourself who’s gonna do anything about it. And the answer is not the current batch of dems. We need to reform and vote out these dipshits before we can even consider tackling the Trump administration.

[Dem politicians watching the news as Trump nukes several countries at once] well how is this going to solve the affordability crisis

What happened today in Minneapolis was sooner or later going to happen when Trump put a masked secret police force on the streets of our country beating & disappearing people with impunity! Renee Good will not be the last citizen to die this way as long as killers like Noem are running ICE. #inners

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...

it's great to know if a federal agent shoots you in the face the entire government will publicly slander you as a domestic terrorist before ambulances even arrive

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

People are skeptical about the decline in numbers of people who read books in the U.S. but you only need to talk with high schoolers to see that it's not overblown. It's part of the reason that the revival of zines is important IMO because they make reading and writing less daunting.

This more than anything.

We need to face the truth that the constant refrain of if we protest too much or make too much noise, the regime will: declare martial law, cancel elections, etc. They are going to do that anyway. They just murdered an American citizen. We can’t keep pretending the worst isn’t already happening.

Why are people arguing about that ICE agent killing a civilian? There’s no argument to be had!! Agents of the government has killed one of their own citizens. The government has killed one of their own citizens. whether you agree or disagree, it’s still the truth.

This is so fucking insane it cements for me the idea that at least part of this is Putin pushing Trump to cut the US off from the rest of the world as much as possible while infuriating the world as much as possible via rancid abuses right and left.

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Minneapolis.

In Chicago's Winnemac Park tonight, a growing crowd of around a hundred neighbors have gathered for an emergency vigil for Renee Nicole Good, a 37 yr old mom shot and killed by DHS in Minneapolis today.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

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

This is a different Chicago vigil than the one we just attended. With hardly any notice, several happened across the city today:

I mean I hate to see it put this way but that is literally just all in the past *week*. We live in a world historic catastrophe.

If a global south country was shooting its citizens in the face and kidnapping the leaders of neighbouring countries and threatening to invade a European country, the US would take military action against it. Looks like it's time for the US to take military action against itself.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Which is as short-sighted as it is horrifying. One of these days, they'll need people to believe what they say and they'll have burned through any presumption of legitimacy in the courts and on the streets.

About 100 people at this vigil in Evanston, IL, to mourn Renee Nicole Good, victim of ICE terrorism.

Hard same. I’ve been to war. I’ve studied crime. I’ve been an attorney focused on criminal law. I’ve seen things. And this is somehow extremely different right now. I can’t explain why, exactly. I identify very much with what Spencer Ackerman @attackerman.bsky.social is saying. It’s awful.

I’m not going to lie. I’ve been writing about the War on Terror in its depravity my whole adult life. And the brazen execution of Renee Nicole Good has left me in a state since the moment I watched it.
