interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

In addition to the rest, there is no honor among these people. They have no standard of behavior, of what is right and wrong, of what is sacred. Kicking over a candle at a memorial and saying "I don't give a fuck" is just further evidence of their nihilism. people.com/dhs-officer-...

Security forces in Iran are now firing on protesters in cities like Tehran and Khorramabad. In Tehran, demonstrators reportedly set fire to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a move to suppress the growing wave of anti-regime protests, the Iranian government has shut down the country’s internet infrastructure entirely. Both mobile and fixed-line networks have gone dark, cutting off tens of millions from communication. Even state-run websites are offline.

In Tehran, regime buildings are reportedly being set on fire and massive crowds flood the streets. Unconfirmed reports also suggest the Radio and Television building in Isfahan may also have been torched.

soon, the DOJ is going to have to release more Epstein Files to divert attention from the ICE murder

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

We want to keep Slate human! We’ve come to some compromises, but there is still work to do. Slate still has not promised adequate protections against AI-related layoffs, they won’t agree on a definition of generative AI, and they want to be free to use our work to train AI without telling us.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Just letting people know the risk assessment happening across the city. If you’re partnered and have kids, we’re deciding which one of us is going to risk getting arrested and/or killed today. We are no longer patrolling together.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

ICE is killing American citizens the right way. by Ezra Klein

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

The person who was shot in the face here is a local organizer who has been very active in the Movement for Black lives.

ICE goons travel in threes: one to read, one to write, and the other to keep an eye on the two intellectuals.

Best and worst of The NY Times on display. Detailed analysis of ICE killing Renee Good in Minneapolis. Headline directly states that the evidence shows Trump officials are lying. But that's not the top story. Top is Trump spoke to the Times! And said completely empty things! We're special, see?

It feels very strange to be having a busy family-and-work week this week, mundane but unavoidable obligations keeping me from rioting in the streets, for now. Life under fascism. This is what it looks like. Always has.

really aggravating that the NYT has a huge pack of the best journalists on the planet, and then nearly all of the key decisions regarding attention, framing, and overall coverage are driven by a crypto right wing nepo baby and a dozen-ish of his toadies

ICE funding expires January 30. Call Congress to say whether you think it should be continued. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

I love that someone on here was like "it's not the agency so much as the people in it" and Bill Fucking Kristol is like "ABOLISH ICE" and if you can't get on Bills level well

I would uh Hesitate to repost this one as we have a video of her wife at the scene after it happened. A grandfather saying "he has no one, I'll come get him" with that context reads like they don't acknowledge her queer partner

The thing I always come back to is how many people never despaired against longer odds, and how arrogant it would be to put myself above them.

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

@mprnews.org is a really strong public radio station/network. @jcollins.bsky.social is among the reporters they have on the scene. Good follows.

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

One of the things that has been lost in the history of the Boston Massacre is that the citizens had assembled in protest of the murder of an 11 year old child who threw a brick through the window of a post house in protest of the Stamp Act and was killed by a British officer in retaliation

If the ICE agent was concerned about his safety, he wouldn't have moved to be in that position. The ICE agent was standing there with his weapon out because he knew he wasn't in real danger and was looking for a pretext to start shooting the person in the vehicle. Which he did, killing her.

FYI, on the Minneapolis shooting video: Bluesky hasn't taken it down. It's been labeled as "graphic media" so that people can avoid it if they choose. You can change your personal settings on whether you see media labeled as graphic (or whether it appears with a warning) here: bsky.app/moderation

The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Cannot be overstated that among conservative gun owners and the cops, there is no mournful acknowledgment that the dangers of this world might force them to use a gun in self-defense. There is gleeful longing for a situation where they would get to use their guns to kill and claim self-defense.

The right-wing propaganda machine is going to spin FURIOUSLY in the next few days to paint Tim Walz and other Minnesota officials are deranged anti-law enforcement radicals. That doesn't matter. They can't back down. They can't give an inch.
