The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

this anti-publicity tendency has always bothered me fidel castro invited the new york times into his hideout for a reason

being 'genuine' does not prevent you from being wrong

apparently the housing plan is three bungalows not on a street

Cursed like Cassandra but its just remembering stuff that happened twenty years ago

Want to highlight that the guy has been with Ice for at least a decade, not a new untrained recruit

People are fully in traffic now.

So far the only thing saving us is their ineptitude

The Boston Massacre was just one event on one day that galvanized resistance, but soldiers had been running roughshod in the city, mistreating residents for months beforehand Which is to say, things haven't even begun

I really don't think of myself as a doomer type but I've also seen democrats cede practically every issue over the past thirty years so forgive me if my enthusiasm is a bit lacking

betting on the future

just thinkin about stuff

A thing I worry about every day is how all of this kind of ends. We are in a kind of post-truth situation, where what is happening on the ground isn't being relayed to the rest of the world and the feds only care about making content. The "problems" are entirely manufactured and fictive.

As a resident of one of those cities, how much do i and my 3 million neighbors need to endure to avoid making suburban centrists uncomfortable?

Still wondering

Jesus if somebody said these words to my face I would die from secondhand embarrassment

The right has spent the last decade repeating controversial ideas until they became common sense. In doing so, they shiffted the political terrain. Liberals responded with triangulation, until the right became the centre ground. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.

distracting myself from the terrifying shitshow of US politics by catching up on the hilarious shitshow of UK politics

Is there a “urban consciousness,” where you’re angry that your community creates all of the goods, culture, and tax revenue that your state lavishes on rural communities with services, infrastructure, and tax breaks, and they hate you for it? Or do only rural people get to feel upset at society?

The Portland Trail Blazers own the Milwaukee Bucks’ first round pick in the 2029 NBA draft as well as the right to swap first round picks with them in 2028 and 2030.

the kind-hearted Capitalist told them not to be insolent, & spoke to them about honesty, & said if they were not careful he would have their faces battered in for them by the police or if necessary he would call out the military & have them shot down like dogs www.worldsocialism.org/wsm/2020/11/...

He’s like a magician, only takes you seriously if you’ve been to the castle.

this applies to so many of them they're in the club, we're not, and they want to remind us as often as they can

goddam this is so grim www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The question every detroiter spends their life preparing for

are you ready for the most pathetic thing you've ever seen?

Art Young, c1915

Oregonian says CBP shot a married couple in a medical clinic parking lot near Adventist Medical Center. That's about 3 miles west of 146th & Burnside, where the husband apparently called 911 and requested help. One was shot in the leg and the other in the chest. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

this is not the suede-denim secret police i was led to expect
