THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Read your comment section, NYT.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Make America 1928 Again.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

If the Dems vote to increase ICE funding for "better training" (overseen by whom? accountable to what?) I will never give a single Dem a single penny ever again

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

The source that informed me of this said the Border Patrol officer in question claimed the victims were trying to run him over in their car, which is why he shot.

Make it viral.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Real mystery there. Let's hope the police are up to this "investigation"

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

This is just murder.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

I mean if Congress was going to act, this would be the time. Or, go quietly into the dustbin of history. Doesn't seem like there should be much debate, but here we are!

Just as an aside...What are these people going to do when George Soros is gone? Feels like they should be looking ahead and laying the groundwork.

"per child" Gonna need some stats on that one buddy.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Inter Miami is living of the inspiring story that if at first you don't succeed, and you are the league's chosen team, eventually they'll let you commit enough roster shenanigans that you win the Cup because of an early own goal in your favor.

Funny how the "on-field treatment rule" doesn't apply to Messi, but it does apply to Blackmon. I wonder what the difference could be.

Unfortunately, @npr.org under Katherine Maher is not a credible organization anymore. Here terrible performance in front of Congress confirmed this and it should surprise no one that this type of ridiculous editing is happening on her watch. www.npr.org/sections/npr...

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page. No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Insanity

DOJ & Halligan attack Judge Nachmanoff. But he did not call Halligan a puppet. He asked the defense if its legal position was that Halligan had been acting as a stalking horse or puppet--doing a vindictive president's bidding. (Which she almost certainly was.)

By contrast I have not seen a single take on the shutdown that didn't consider the accrued costs to federal workers and others that rely on the government for benefits or support.

This guy gets it.

Here's the unbelievable "undo" letter USDA sent: www.fns.usda.gov/snap/updated...

Genuinely disgusting. One would hope the alumni association will let them hear it. Ah for the good old days of rebuking your alma mater for quaint infractions like hiking tuition during significant economic downturn

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

@openargs.bsky.social maybe you can get your buddy to answer this one?

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society

So they were innocent. That's what that means. They extra judicially executed innocent people.
