[watching as an innocent person is dragged out of their car by five nazis and beaten] Hm, they must have Taken the Bait.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I liked Dilbert comics as a kid- I don’t remember them well, so i might be off about this-but I think it’s as simple as he was the type of artist who didn’t understand his own work, for lack of a better description. Ppl liked Dilbert bc they thought he was an everyman, forced to endure corporate BS-

Another datapoint in the “young men haven’t turned conservative the media just thinks a 55 year old guy listening to Rogan is young for unclear reasons”

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

cozy is great but have you considered the emotional benefits of beheading people in fiction

This is serious. It isn‘t a game. It isn’t politics. It’s human life. I’m so sick of this shit.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

stuff like this is one of the reasons why it’s incredibly important to constantly film everything ICE is doing while terrorizing communities bc it humiliates them

If you're writing a SFF / thriller you can have all the gratuitous sex scenes you want but the murder and violence has to advance plot and character. If you're writing romance, the *sex scenes* need to advance the plot, and the *murder and violence* are where you go to town. simple.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.

Kudos to the Golden Globe producer who - immediately after a joke about famous people on the Epstein list - cuts to Bill Maher.

And there is no abuse or torture happening in immigration detention that is not also happening in our prisons and jails.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police. I will hold your hand as I say this: Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit. Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

i mean yes but they're confronting it by openly and heatedly sharing their desire to kill women

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

A good reminder that the function of ICE isn’t immigration enforcement, but a private paramilitary force being sent into blue cities under false pretext of participatory conspiracy theories confabulated by online content creators and their audiences on X and in the federal government.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

How do they decide which hobbits get to have servants and which hobbits have to be the servants?

My husband is watching LOTR for the first time (I have seen them before) and is it normal that he hates Frodo like is that a thing? I have never even considered hating Frodo before lol.

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

A group of ppl in Minneapolis made signs w/ the names & ages of other people killed by ICE to lay at Renee Good's memorial in order to uplift people whose deaths aren't making national/ international news the same way. This is to honor what Renee fought for & highlight that they, too, were Good.

lmao

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

It feels to me that anyone saying anything to the effect of "don't take the bait" is fully on the side of the regime. And what the hell does that even mean anyway? Human life isn't "bait." Civil rights aren't "bait." The concept of freedom isn't "bait."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

very funny banter and the reading-together scenes were especially hot😍

the fact that he fled the scene is so telling too. HE knows he did it because he felt emasculated and small, not because the car was in any defensible way a material threat to his safety. he would have stood by it if he had. this was a tantrum, but because he had a gun, a human being is dead

CNN in Minneapolis: You can literally see someone is playing on the drum set right here outside the entrance of the hotel right now.

once again we are all tapping the sign

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Pete and Amy are really out here arguing that ICE isn’t killing people by the employee handbook when we are out here arguing ICE should not exist. They do NOT represent the will of the people.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

This is a beautiful read:

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

if we’re doing loaded questions i think it’s only fair to ask every republican if it’s okay that the president is a child rapist

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

They’re just calling her a “race traitor“ in a way that they think is clever.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
