I really don’t understand Newsome’s motivation to declare a “Reagan Day.” I guess maybe to court more “traditional” Republicans. A fucked idea, to be sure.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Side-by-lside images show a historical black-and-white scene of uniformed Nazi soldiers murdering detained civilians, contrasted with a modern color scene of masked armed officers murdering a person on a city street, visually linking past and present uses of fascist murder.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

this PAC, “democratic youth wave,” has poured over $100,000 into a single delaware based corporation with a generic sounding name that came into existence shortly after the PAC was formed in 2024. they’re using this man’s murder to fundraise for some vague fucking grift.

Steven Universe vs. Hitler. Steven appeals to Hitler "what if you could change your mind, Hitler?" Hitler stares at Steven with angry intent. Garnet puts her hand on Steven's shoulder and says "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy Steven." Steven says "Damn."

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

It would not surprise me if ICE ends up killing Episcopalian clergy, sadly. Episcopalian ministers go pretty hard in the paint for civil rights.
The story of Jonathan Daniels, an Episcopalian seminary student, pushing Ruby Sayles out of the way of a KKK shotgun blast in Alabama comes to mind.

ok but they won't
ICE officers won't follow orders they don't ideologically like
And elected Dems have not yet shown evidence of any spine to do what is necessary: punish these people.
