They’ve attacked people with disabilities.
They’ve detained people with disabilities and denied accommodations.
They’ve caused disabilities.
Now they’re detaining a special education teacher … ripping her away from disabled students who need her. They also used chemical munitions near the kids.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Working on trying to get shirts out for this; any suggestions for a national charity that the sales could benefit?
Decided to repurpose an old sketch for a new message from our giant pal: Protect Your Neighbors and Abolish ICE. Link in the next post to download and share a high-res version of the artwork, use it however you want. Maybe we’ll do t-shirts or something and donate the proceeds?

The guy who shot Marimar Martinez, which resembles Renee Good's shooting in many ways, shouted "Do something bitch" as he shot her.
He is also a weapons instructor.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.
On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

there's something about "AI" where I think to a lot of executives it feels (wildly incorrectly, but bear with me) like it's the first technology they've really been able to understand, maybe even better than other people
A major driving vector for AI, I think, is the same kind of business consultant who convinced everyone they needed "organizational agility" and "lean staffing" in the '90s

Please update (again) immediately.
Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Phoebe Memorial, the sole hospital in Albany, GA, was founded on the idea that all patients be treated, regardless of their ability to pay.
So why do some residents — including many hospital staffers — turn to a free clinic for care?
