"They want us to scatter in fear, to give up hope, and to give up on each other. But we will hold more tightly to one another, plan more strategically, and care even more deeply...We will be a reminder of what people can do when they refuse to give up, and when they refuse to give up on each other."

‪Grateful to the 40th Ward Neighbors and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @catsharpforcook.bsky.social and @andrefor40th.bsky.social among others for speaking at the vigil this evening. We will not be silent. We will keep caring for each other and fighting back against this fascist violence together.

Comics are good, @kurtbusiek.bsky.social

Man you’d never guess this guy follows half of the most prominent open Nazi accounts on Twitter

Every time this pudgy shit opens his mouth I hate him more.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”

beaver: got a bad one gonna need all hands on deck duck: (takes drag) what is it this time? another turtle win a race? beaver: put a lid on that shit i got two dead bodies a scorpion and a frog looks like a murder suicide duck: (sighs as he exhales smoke) another day in fucking paradise

i sat down with saul friedlander, super famous ucla professor, jew and holocaust survivor and my mentor and he said you have to understand, fascism is the negation of all life. it's the destruction of life. and i said saul why would anybody want that this learned man said i david i don't know.

Anti-human, anti-life; corrosive of sociality, civility, decency, dignity, piety, and fear of God; cynically contemptuous of truth in its abject nihilism; a stain on Christian witness for those who make themselves complicit—the cancerous rot of MAGA must go.

Given how hard those degens get for XIV and LXXXVIII, I'm not surprised that they're trying to add one more to the list.

And this is an accurate statement, not an exaggeration. All of the parts of that tweet are not only technically accurate at every level, it is a meaningfully accurate description. Straightforwardly true. And so many would laugh in your face for saying it

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.

Renee Nicole Good is the one whose reputation should be protected, whose death should be marked by flags across the country being lowered to half-staff, who should be getting tearful tributes and acknowledgments from politicians and media figures. These are the people we ought to honor.

When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons." Here is her winning poem: www.porkopolis.org/pig_poet/ren...

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

The wicked flee where none pursues,but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

I don't think people really appreciate how the way Midwesterners say "good luck to him" works like the Southern "bless your heart." Keep an ear out for it, you'll hear it. I heard a speaker today say it about ICE in Minneapolis. It felt great.

lotta women dying for representative democracy and a pluralistic society, lotta podcasters podcasting rough stuff for the podcasters

They shot her for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew

babe wake up, new update to the US hegemonic suicide dropped:

Melt, and no more be seen

an interesting data point though for NGB and company, if they cared, on how NG presence at the bad behavior of others gets remembered in the public mind

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

do people not understand the concept of a social contract any more here, i'll start: the social contract requires you to punish murderers, and it actually requires this MORE if the murderers work for the government

This was a running thread if you followed the BLM movement, that many police shootings of Americans are followed by said police not allowing the victim to receive medical care, and in a number of cause celebre cases observers believed they would have survived if medical help had not been obstructed.

Buddy of mine independenly recreated that Churchill quote about the "end of the beginning" in the group chat today.

Mourning together is good. I'm still in a cold rage but I feel less alone.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

She was an ordinary person trying to do a decent and patriotic thing, and they fucking murdered her for it.

Heads up y'all, the ICE agent who murdered a civilian in Minneapolis never removed his face covering. Any alleged images of his face are fakes created by AI.

At least 3 solidarity vigils are scheduled tonight in the Chicago area. The one The TRiiBE notes here, at 26th & Troy in Chicago's La Villita neighborhood, at 7:30 pm. Another at Winnemac Park in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, at 6 pm. A third at Fountain Square in Evanston, IL, at 7:30 pm.

💔 *Renee Nicole Good* was murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today. 💔 *Silverio Villegas Gonzalez* was murdered by ICE in Franklin Park, IL near Chicago in September. And, over the months, ICE agents have shot at others: see this article with the count from @thetrace.org, posted last month ⤵️

This is a good question for experts in Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration. A very good one, genuinely. For the rest of us "fuck em, they can all go straight to hell by the most expedient route" is good enough, especially today.

if you joined ICE I don't think you just get to melt back into society ever again. I think it should be the albatross around your neck for the rest of your life. I sure as hell won't hire anyone who worked for ICE. hope that signing bonus lasts

Renee Nicole Good is a martyr to the Republic long live her name. She was murdered doing the right thing, for all of us, everywhere.

I think there's no person so hated by the ambitious of this world as Bryar Kosala, since those who fight viciously to grasp the reins of power can't forgive that she could rise so high & still be nice. She likes helping & is good at running things. #TooLikeTheLightning by @adapalmer.bsky.social

The greatest and most distinctly American thing about this country is the proposition that anyone can come here and become just as American as you or me. Defending that proposition is patriotism. Dying for that proposition is martyrdom.

that crowd surrounding them and shaming them *even after they just watched ICE murder a woman in front of them* should legitimately strike terror into the heart of the admin, ICE and DHS specifically

What ICE was up to in Minnesota before they murdered a woman

You do not hate these people enough.

As He died to make men holy We will die to make them free.

Incredible stuff www.tomassanchez.com

Chicagoland. Show up at one of the vigils tonight.

When you allow a class of people to act outside the law, you create a state of nature between them and society at large - and in a state of nature there is no deterrent to violent conflict
