Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Listen: because I am hearing this a lot from folks who are in caregiving roles with disabled, sick, dying folks, elders, or children in their care:
You are not unable to do anything or unable to take action.
Care work IS justice work

This is literally what I've been writing and podcasting about for years. I was planning to do an essay on this, but here's a 🧵.
The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.

Fight and help win a world war.
Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years.
Blow it all up.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

This is why *everyone* should be in a union. If you’re not in one, organize. Collective bargaining and action is the ONLY way we secure and keep our rights.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

Basically impossible to overstate the extent to which public masturbation over the idea of getting to kill people has been the dominant mode of communication from the right-wing media and intellectual sphere for years now.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

There's at least 4 videos of and at least a dozen eyewitnesses to this killing. If DOJ won't cooperate then charge Bovino and make his defense counsel produce the evidence during trial.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂
