We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming

they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

What possible combination of words can capture the depth of evil here? For faceless, fascist goons to abduct a five year old - to use them as bait to abduct their parent?

It's been a long time since I believed in heaven, but the last two years have made me truly hope there is a hell.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Productive food plants aren't gonna look like A Flower Garden, for the same reason most moms don't look like supermodels. WE GOT OTHER STUFF GOIN ON OK?
unless you live somewhere with insane sunlight, i learned tomatoes have the 2 modes: green with foliage cuz they're focused on growing, or looking like shit cuz they're putting all energy into fruits. i have to keep telling ppl i know when a plant looks like shit it isn't always dead lol

The obsessive wokeness panic is about elite labor market competition and prestige. People use a lot of fancy words to obscure this, and offer some substantive criticisms as well, but that’s ultimately its driving force.

The closer we get to the 18th the more local protest will be organized.

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves.

I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct.

I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away.
