why do you think they get so mad when someone like him gets in
Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

I'm just sitting here, trying to figure out how to threat model for armed, masked thugs who may kidnap you off the street, then steal, and possibly sell your phone.
Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

The latest from my friend who at least I think is still my friend but I just can’t figure her out much of the time lately, especially since she keeps using X/Twitter (paraphrasing):

"Let me make this CLEAR. Our police officers will NOT protect you from being black bagged by the goon squad. But they WILL beat the shit out of you if you protest too loud."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

mask technology must've seen ginormous advances since the pandemic, because now every ice agent manages to wear a mask all day despite the fact that (per the science knowers on the right) wearing a mask used to cut off your oxygen supply, cause carbon dioxide poisoning, & wreck your immune system

Anyone else surprised they even release this?
NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

weirdly silent about ICE killing an unarmed woman in cold blood, surely there's no politics at play here
Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

As an immigrant (& naturalized citizen): Talk about how she was a citizen.

I need even the most privileged & complacent to realize they're not safe anymore.
It didn't have to get this far. But you ignored it when they came for the rest of us, so now you're a target too.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

So, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure of this, Goebbels remarked in his diary that their regime didn't need to go out of their way to manipulate the press. They'd show up to the briefings and dutifully repeat whatever they said. Anyway.
Three videos taken of the scene and reviewed by CNN, however, show nuance. What took place prior to the shooting remains unclear. | Analysis
