Arsenal win the first ever FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 🏆

Renee Slegers' side achieved glory with a 3-2 victory over Corinthians — Caitlin Foord netted the winner in extra-time.

One of the best actors of her generation. Easily one of the best comedians of all time. As much Catherine O’Hara as we got, it was nowhere near enough.

So, to be clear. ICE hates the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments, AND hates capitalism and economic growth. So in literally every metric a conservative might use, ICE is about as un-American a thing as the southern rebellion, if it married the 1920s anarchists and had a communist baby.

If you want a capitalist society in the US, where the birth rate is 1.6 (and needs to be 2.1 just to break even, you need immigration. There is room to discuss how many and how we do it (spreading immigrants rather than concentrating them results in quicker integration) but we need them!

Resulting in mini Turkeys, Mini Algerias, mini Senegals, etc. Not like that's a horrible thing. But it is a big change from the status quo.
But the underlying truth remains: first world people aren't having enough kids to even keep level. Capitalism needs constant growth. So... therefore

Capitalism only works with growing populations. This is why this whole ICE thing seems so disingenuous at its heart. First world birth rates aren't enough to keep populations level, even in China. We need immigration. Yes, Europe probably did it wrong and flooded small towns

You might be illegal in this country, but if you set up a life and contribute, add taxes to the base and fill jobs, WE NEED YOU. Look at declining first world populations!

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

(H/T longtimehistory)

To my beautiful 🦋s: never apologize for other people's mediocrity. Never let them tell you your choice is a sin, a mistake, an abomination.

Your uniqueness reminds then of what they sacrificed to be normal, to stay safe. That's why they attack you. You shine a light on all the dreams they quit on.

The best lyrics I have heard in the last 10 years are in this song. Painful, cutting, funny, poignant.

"Life's a date you had just for the sake of going out."

"I don't want to wake up dead in somebody's dream."

Now I feel like an idiot, lol. By with a heart o' gold

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Yes, but imagine how exhausting it is for them to keep up the pretense, the facade, and the lie that it isn't all rotting from the inside. To quote from Andor (I know, not real life, but it gets this part right): "Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle."

And I mean I am sorry you have had to participate in so many

I'm sorry. This one is particularly heartbreaking

God bless and keep this man. May his murderers find no comfort or rest for the entirety of their days.

It turns out that when the good guys do have guns they still get shot in the back by Federal thugs.

I know. Fascism comes on very slow until it comes on fast. But they did it on camera. We saw. Everybody saw.

Trump will have to try and suspend the midterms or he will be deposed. And Noem, Miller et al.will be tried

They think we are as dumb as they are. Senator Murphy, you represent my state, please stick to defunding and Abolishing ICE. It cannot be repaired, it cannot be 'fixed', it cannot be put back to how it was. It has to be aboloshed.

In these days of evil presidentes,

Working for the clampdown,

But lately one or two has fully paid their due

For working for the clampdown

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

MIN S3AT STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET, MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Statement from the Minnesota Timberwolves team chaplain with alt text (ht @gregolear.bsky.social)

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.

Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.

This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

#LetsFuckinGo #TogetherWeRise #BlueToTheCore

Alex Pretti’s Sig handgun has history of accidentally firing — offering possible clue to why Border agent shot him

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Alex Pretti. Thank you.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

The eye witness to the murder of Alex Pretti is now hiding from ICE.

An affidavit signed by her details her observation of the #ICEGestapo murder.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."
