brushing up on my WW2 history

Was about to post this one again lol, probably one of my favorite tracks period. The way the syncopation shifts around throughout is so compelling to me 🤤

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

just had a really good sandwich in case anyone was wondering

always on my mind

The murderous legacy of the agency persisted. Under Clinton, Border Patrol adopted a policy, "Prevention Through Deterrence," with the goal of pushing asylum-seekers into the harshest parts of the US/MX border so they would die, hoping the deaths would discourage others. afgj.org/death-as-det...

Many are newly seeing the horrors of the deportation machine, but it's critical not to exceptionalize this as about ICE or even Trump.

Not a single one of those ICE slobs should ever know a moment's peace for the rest of their lives.

If you're not Minnesotan, you might not know that the late Philando Castile is a major reason we got free school lunches for all children in the state. When he was alive, Castile was a cafeteria worker who covered the cost of lunch for children who were too poor to eat. 1/x

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

solidarity will win

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

“We’re not cold we’re not afraid! Minnie taught us to be brave!” #boston #protest #minnie #ice #alexpretti

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

a public tribunal for fascist prime minister stephen miller

Yeah there’s no covering this up

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

Yeah maybe if he'd had 16 years experience and 200 hours more of training, he would have killed three people today instead of one

one could argue that the issue is they finally did find their spines

The tech bros are salivating over this. they want their network state and they think Trump will give it to them.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

how the fuck am i supposed to sit at my little computer and tippy type on my little keyboard

I would argue there is a throughline here with every Palestinian in Gaza being called a terrorist

He was a nurse.

Ring the alarum-bell! Murder and treason!

RIP Michael Parenti.

Three apartments worth of people on their balconies here are heckling agents down below. One person has produced a white board that says "ICE can suck my dick." "Fuck you all! Kill yourselves!"

For this, the state decided to execute him.

Reminder: do not fed post

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Hague

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

If I say what should happen to every ICE and border patrol stooge, every government official above them, every so-called representative hemming and hawing and ultimately letting all of this unfold without resistance, I'll be banned so fast there'll be a Gretchen-shaped hole in the internet

there are a lot of descriptions of the video - here’s one - so you should absolutely turn off autoplay if you don’t want to see it especially because there is, in the video, a woman who was recording it from a much clearer and closer location and I imagine that video will come out as well

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

This is not a dunk whatsoever, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the first sentence. I'm old enough that a friend in my K class got polio and she ended up in a wheelchair for life. I think not vaccinating is akin to neglect like not feeding or clothing a child. And yes I have a kid.

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade. Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents. #PublicPreparedness #Minneapolis
