Abolish. ice. 💔

I guess he just got lucky.

As a dog trainer I think… A dog that jumps on people or pees in the house or won’t come when called is “poorly trained” A dog that viciously attacks people and then resource guards their corpse is more than “poorly trained” Also, this post isn’t about dogs. #abolishICE

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Apparently we should have taken him seriously

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.” (H/T @allenanalysis.bsky.social )

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy shit.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Closest one claps after the shots

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun” Mark Gongloff cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order? FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

The only time NATO Article 5 has been enacted was for the US after 9/11. I stood on Ramp Ceremonies for 26 Canadians. And the Multinational Role 3 team fought like hell to save coalition lives. American, NATO, and the greater coalition. Don't fucking tell me we stood back. We fucking stood up.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

And why are they pulling this shit!!🤬 www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

A US early-warning radar of one sort or another has been on Greenland for nearly 70 years—without the need for US sovereignty. Greenland is also covered by Article Five & US could protect it v Russia or China. Conflating Greenland's military importance with the issue of US ownership is dishonest.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

I'm creating a gallery on Astrobin. This is the Heart Nebula. View my images in high resolution to observe other objects in finer detail (Fish Head Nebula). View here: app.astrobin.com/i/gzac6b #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

Really clear night. Got much better images of Orion nebula and Andromeda galaxy, M31, than posted last time. And took longer exposures. Enjoy

Really good video breakdown of the shooting of Renee Good illustrating that yes, this was cold blooded murder by an ICE agent.

his mother must be terribly disappointed

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity. Do listen. I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...

Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.

this is for u

I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗 ☎️ 516.785.5220 ⬇️⬇️ www.threads.com/@adopt_melia...

DOJ’s new push to recruit “Deportation Judges” isn’t just a staffing change. As Kerry Doyle explains, shifting judicial titles to signal predetermined outcomes is a hallmark of authoritarian systems throughout history. Read her article on Substack. #holdfast substack.com/inbox/post/1...
