BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

It's why I get angry whenever I see Dems saying that ICE just needs to be reformed. Because what you're saying is a secret force being used to detain people in detention centers and separate them from their families is a necessary evil for the crime of not having all proper immigration paperwork

Growing up in Texas in the 2000s made anti-immigration fear mongering not work on me because I'd hear adults and politicians describe the most horrific war zone imaginable, evil criminals crossing the border into your country to do violence... but I could step outside and see everything was *fine*

The committee selected ten power-conference teams for the CFP. Five were SEC. Zero reached the title game. Big Ten vs ACC championship game

got a phone call from my father tonight, first asking how we were doing here in portland, and second, ranting about how he saw people killed at kent state, and third he and his extremely religious wife talking about renee good as a martyr, these people are late 70s oklahomans

running for office is fun because you learn cool stuff about yourself like how your boyfriend who runs a comedy website is a billionaire and you don’t actually live in rogers park despite living in rogers park and your mom is an oil baroness or something and

I know Kansas City Current fans are frustrated with the handling of Chris Armas being hired as head coach, but I think "WACK JOB group" is a bit of a stretch.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

cool okay so it's exactly what every queer person was most afraid of

Contrary to what grandpa said, the youngest kid has a HUGE family; in addition to Renee's family & Ms. Good's family, his dad's obit listed him as being survived by nine siblings, five grandparents & four parents. Paternal grandpa is FAR from being the only person who can take care of the child.

if I die, please don't let them say shit like "she sang in church choirs since the age of 10 and was an active parishioner at St. Andrew" and omit the fact that I'm a lesbian to make middle America feel bad that I'm dead when otherwise they wouldn't care

the spectrum of queer experience is vast and complex, and none of us know what's going on inside families that are not our own but my feed is full of media outlets describing a woman with a very-much-living-and-in-the-picture wife first and foremost as though she was a man's widow, and I just

Smarm

it’s of low priority but I’m going to ask again: one of you write the reported story about these guys who said they couldn’t wear masks who are now all wearing masks

I imagine Mario Cristobal is in the locker room telling the team to play the ugliest, bloodiest, grossest half of football this side of the 19th century. Pre-forward pass football. Teddy Roosevelt-says-this-is-too-uncivilized football.

I can count on one hand the moments in video games I like more than killing a bunch of Klansmen in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "There was a time that we could take [the federal government] at their word. That time has long passed. That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

This does seem like good straightforward messaging. OBBBA cut health care spending and massively expanded ICE funding. Easy way to actually talk about healthcare and ICE stuff at the same time.

hybridizing regimes that do indiscriminate violence are hybridizing regimes that are failing. failing to consolidate, failing the principal-agent problem, failing at elite coordination.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Cool they let that asshole back on here

DHS again says people they shot tried to run them over, and that it was a “defensive shot.” But a witness says victim backed up & forward, hitting a car, then driving off — and that officers fired “about five shots as it left.” Did agents open fire at a car driving away again?

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

🤔

D.C. marching against ICE.

Honestly just being in a vehicle at this point. Which I acknowledge is the experience of people of color anyway.

when DHS says "affiliated with TdA" you should read that as "probably has a tattoo"

Big F in chat for the State Department lackeys who have to say with a straight face that the United States supports the right to peacefully oppose the government and opposes autocracy.

Congressman Maxine Dexter is calling on federal immigration authorities to cease operations here in Portland

no ICE agent has ever been hit by a car and killed in the line of duty, according to ODMP. not once.

Great observation here. Vehicles are legitimate weapons of self defense if you’re a right wing protester but if you’re a liberal trying to drive away from trouble they’re deadly weapons you’ve used in an act of terrorism.

Orin Kerr recalls a 2011 article in which people were asked to view a protest video and say whether the protesters were behaving lawfully. It was an experiment: their reading of lawfulness turned out to depend greatly on whether the protesters were said to be on their or the other side.

Thousands of people cheering to see a fake y2k-era boy band from a free to play video game about future space warriors

Hundreds of protestors are on the march from the ICE office in downtown Atlanta to the Georgia State Capitol building. They are calling anti-Trump slogans after ICE officers killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday and shot two more in Portland on Thursday.

The reason you have congressional hearings is so stories like this HAVE to get coverage for the normies. There were TEN Benghazi investigations. Give me twenty ICE investigations, with big damn press conferences.

Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections. Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

Agreed. They've been in a hurry since Day One, throwing everything at the wall in a drunken mix of triumphalism and desperation, knowing the clock is ticking. It's precisely because they fear the backlash and running out of time. There's no frog-boiling happening here, they went to 11 immediately.

a CBP officer shot a “vicious” “TdA” member who was dangerous to the community and then they just fucking left? nope, absolutely the fuck not, this is a lie and this was a double attempted murder

these poor people who got shot by CBP officers *called portland police for help*, this is a lie and a coverup, CBP tried to murder two portland residents in a hospital parking lot and then fled the scene

Here's the full moment of silence including a fan yelling "Go home, ICE"

Sorry, it took me a minute to wind my way around here, but this is notable.

NOW: Protest in DC tonight at 14 and U streets, shutting down traffic in both directions.

A queer life is a human life

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Is the administration making Vance the face of the Minneapolis ICE murder because they think he's good at it or because they know he's bad at it
