WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Yet another reason Newsom is a nonstarter. And a hypocrite, tbh given his troll posture the other 23 hours of the day when he isn’t spouting this ripe garbage. The “breach” is not of decorum, but of whole communities and families destroyed, lives lost. No, I don’t think we’ll be “turning the page”

I know Polis is a tech oligarch, but WHAT THE ACTUAL…

it’s telling that he almost certainly knows he is being recorded. He’s speaking to us, too. it’s a threat.

the most telling thing I’ve seen all week is the Daily Show montage of MAGA mouthpieces pretending to mourn Renée Good’s death before saying she got what she deserved

Grateful for the sustained presence of religious leaders in #Minneapolis and across the country, keeping our focus on the life that was taken and the danger that a policy of fear and violence at the highest levels of government presents for us all. #ReneeNicoleGood #UU

Read this earnest, respectful call for the United States Congress to grow a damn backbone.

here’s this letter from an allied soldier describing what he saw at the buchenwald camp after it was liberated. notable especially is the editor’s note, referring to the normalcy bias still in play at the time — and how people still disbelieved the truth and horrors of the camps due to that bias.

This is real and it is happening.

I don't credit the modern American executive with the ability to think beyond the end of the current fiscal quarter, but if they could, I would think they'd be looking out right now and wondering what the cost/benefits of collaboration with Trump is going to look like in two, three, five years

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

If *anyone* belongs here, it’s these folks. But it was never about immigration.

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned. This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE. ictnews.org/news/i-felt-...

- disrupt every hearing the majority holds, parliamentarily but also with bad behavior that hijacks their message, forces adjournment - offer amendments on everything - deny UC; force votes on everything - quit every bipartisan caucus - don't cosponsor any GOP bills - don't fund the government

Lmao

Exhausting seeing the Fed govt wage war against its own states bc of their political views in so many differently illegal ways. But also, I wonder where on this map most of that Fed ag aid goes.

Every regime learned from Tiananmen Square.

Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum, who shot Marimar Martinez five times (she survived) as she drove her car in Chicago on Oct. 4, is also a firearm instructor.

Psychopath. She belongs behind a locked metal door in a hospital for the criminally insane. Sane and stable human beings do not talk like she does.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

Anyway we’ve reached the “people hiding others in their house terrified that the Nazis are going to shoot them” part

even Nixon said `You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.'' Screw Hannity.

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Two different "wine moms" I work with have dropped their emergency contact info to the company slack in the last couple days because, to quote one of them, "I'm going to the protest tonight and if i get shot, I want you to know why I missed work."

I’m seeing example after example of everyday Americans going toe to toe with lawless agents of tyranny today. Knowing now, sadly, that standing up for their neighbors could end in their death. So brave. SO BRAVE. Their courage should give all of us hope.

Second this.

"Surely a situation that a reasonable civilian would not find to constitute deadly force is even less likely to be fatal for a police officer. ... But experience tells us that evidence-free handwaving in the direction of ‘split seconds’ is most often all that is needed to keep justice at bay."

People magazine is indeed really stepping up to the plate with a lot of coverage of Renee Good's shooting. Couple of examples: people.com/renee-good-l... ; people.com/doctor-tried...

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Hey #design people. What are your favorite resource for #book design?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

“If you abolish the Praetorian Guard, who will defend the emperor?” Sejanus said, stepping over the emperor’s body

Newly-released footage reveals Renee Nicole Good’s last words.

I remember when a writing teacher asked us to raise our hand if we've made more than $5 from our writing. Three of us did. We were told that's enough to put us in the top 1% of most successful writers through history. A little hyperbole, but not far off. I still think about it.

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003. @byheatherlong.bsky.social

This is incredible. A machine says “I’m not punching you!” while punching away.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez: "Many of our immigrants neighbors are picked up simply by moving their cars. Help your neighbors take out the trash, because there are many reports of neighbors being kidnapped when they're taking their trash out."

We are outraged by the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE. We grieve her death and the deaths of all those killed in ICE detention. Show up to stand against the regime's increasing campaign of terror. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...
