1. This picture is often posted throughout Black History Month and random times throughout the year, but allow me to give a little context.

This woman's name is Pamela Echols, and this takes place in Milwaukee in 1967.

Events that year were known as "The Long Hot Summer of 1967...."

This photo of Liam Conejo Ramos - the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas - is beyond horrifiying.

This underscores why just slapping on some procedural restraints on Trump/Miller's ICE/CBP army is not going to make this cruelty/horror go away.
Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam and his dad today at the Texas ICE facility.

He shared this photo on social media that shows Liam either sleeping or lying weakly in his father’s arms.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The guy genuinely gave a shit.

And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.
CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Folks who aren't near/from the upper Midwest don't really understand how those people are. They fight like its the 70s, they drink more than you can imagine, they survive nature trying to kill them half the year through sheer force of will. The niceness is social defense in a society of grizzlies.
The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."
It also sounds like at least some of them thought the cameras wouldn't matter because they were assuming that a couple of public executions would cause all of the resistance to run and hide.

Which does not mean backing off, but pushing harder.

All these people need to go to prison, at the least. We learned from Jan 6 that we need to jail everyone right up to the top, or they just come back after being pardoned by the worst president in American history.
Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.

They are losing.

On twitter, every fascist influencer with real or pretend military background is rolling out war terms to declare mutual aid an Iraq-style insurgency. I'm sure the Minnesota wine moms are working hard on their "dispatch nodes vectoring assets." The moron who posted this phrase got 80k likes.

Update: World’s Bravest Dog accepted reality and briefly took himself outside on a business trip. It appeared at times that he was enjoying running around in the snow, but I think he was just hurrying through the always important Potty Point Search.

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die:

In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy.

Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't.

Rinse, repeat.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
