Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else. I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canadian-b...

Decent article about the IDF "comedian" who spoke in Toronto this week. The big question that hasn't been answered though is: What happened here between the Israeli consultate and Canadian government? Hochman's team says he was let in only after the consulate intervened.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

It's getting worse out there, because they shot a woman in the face in broad daylight filmed at multiple camera angles and there have been no consequences

R.I.P. Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the great queer filmmakers whose work is more urgent and timely than ever

Just saw Rosa von Praunheim died. As much as it’s an imperfect movie - lots of Rosa films I’d recommend over it to the “uninitiated” - A Virus Knows No Morals is one of the greatest pieces of agitprop ever made
