Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

In a sane country, the DOJ response to a motion asking a judge to stop the government from destroying evidence after federal officers shot and killed a man in broad daylight would be, "Of course we wouldn't destroy evidence. We agree with this motion." That . . . is not what happened.

It can get lower!

Right, I think remembering diversity of tactics goes for communication too. Some actions require in person small group discussion. Some require wide spread mainstream digital advertising. The point is to know which you're doing and why you're using the method you are.

"But we are on a slide into full-blown authoritarianism, what if your ICE Watch group which is legal now gets targeted by a death squad in six months?" I have some thoughts on this question.

We are raising a nation of dumbasses. It’s on purpose

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

let's say we build will stancil a killdozer,

being heckled at a restaurant for being in the gestapo and being beat up by 6 gestapo agents, bear sprayed, and shot 8 times with zero accountability is equivalent to these freaks

At about 1m20 the most non-elite US mall ninja shows up with a bafflingly seemingly self inflicted bleeding nose, tucks a shotgun under his taint before tossing a munition canister god knows where, then starts shooting at journalists. If you saw this in a war videogame you’d think it was broken.

The bloody noses are because ICE and Border Patrol get fucking zooted before every cop riot.

Imperial policing eventually comes Home 2 Suites by Hilton

lmaoo

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

from the Mall of America: “Several off- duty ICE agents eating at Hooters. Vehicle is parked in the parking ramp outside of Hooters”

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

it’s pretty insane to think about how the dumbest most violent pieces of shit in the country have been given the message that they can kill with impunity if they join this one government agency

We can't sleep on CBP. One obvious way to 'abolish' ICE without abolishing it would just be to take all that funding and staff and artillery and transfer it to a dedicated unit of the CBP with the same responsibilities as ICE. Abolish CBP, too.

Private Prisons are a crime against humanity

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

we are all palestinians now

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

this is salvadoran death squad shit

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

We are in a total free fall into American Nazism.

ICE and CBP *do not* need "better training". Shooting a mother three times in the face is exactly what they were trained to do. Shooting a VA ICU nurse a dozen times is EXACTLY what they were trained to do. They are rabid dogs that need to be dealt with accordingly.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

I really hope the Senate will block funding for DHS but I’m going to assume we see a rush of “I say no” followed by 7 who sneakily vote yes.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

the agent who disarmed Pretti fired Pretti's gun into the ground @chadloder.bsky.social, note the pavement impact

ron filipkowski has deduced the theory of ACAB from first principles

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

All of this is happening so 40 pedophiles with more money than god don't get like 4% higher taxes by the way

They ID'd this guy yesterday btw

Don't act or they'll start shooting people Don't call in the national guard or we're going to be at war Motherfucker they're shooting people in the streets. The war has already started. Shots have been fired

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.

More training won’t fix this, because they don’t want trained agents. They want hair-trigger goons juiced up on hate. They are going to keep doing this until someone gives them what they really want and fires back.

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

ICE are indistinguishable from a terrorist organization

ICE and CBP siezes and destroys evidence. It is standard operating procedure. They have dedicated coverup teams.

👏 WRITE 👏 A 👏 MORE 👏 STRONGLY 👏 WORDED 👏 LETTER

we need to abolish ICE right fucking now these are violent thugs who want to kill everyone. this is the gestapo. this is nazi germany. this is state execution that will be approved of by those on top

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...
