This is the essence of the emerging fascist state.

Access to resources and programs designed to make our lives better is being stolen from us so that the oppressors can use, hoard, and distribute them to friends and hold them ransom in order to force compliance.

Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.” On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers. According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers. After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

I love it! Trying to convince my artist son to do this for our animals. I wish I had your talent, Brooke

ISP fired ~only a few~ rounds of pepper balls last night in Broadview and we really need folks who haven't experienced these to understand how irritating and noxious they are. I wasn't even in direct line of fire, but the powder lingers. This morning: throat/sinuses are still in awful shape.

I Can't Help Feeling Like a Creep Wearing Meta's New Gen 2 Glasses Meta's new display-less smart glasses are quite good, but the vibes are off.

“I'm not saying these are glasses for creeps, but I can't help but feel like one while wearing them.”

Reader, they are for creeps.

POV: Your city’s team wins a major championship and you put armed cops on horses to beat people who are just enjoying the moment

They better not go and shake that man’s hand while he’s kidnapping folks from the community that made them

Some context to the viral videos:

Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.

They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

Día De Los Muertos: Venice bakery honors those who died in ICE custody This year, on a Venice bakery's Día De Los Muertos altar, there are a number of photos from across the Southwest of men and women who died in ICE custody.

“‘I see myself, and my family, and my community in them, and it's just unfair that they had to die in those circumstances,’ said Norma Aceves, the owner of Venice Bakery and creator of the altar.” abc7.com/post/venice-... #DíaDeLosMuertos

Blood visible from space in Sudan shows evidence of Darfur genocide: Analysts Satellite images and verified videos paint a harrowing picture of door-to-door mass killings in the Darfur region of war-torn Sudan.

There is a genocide & humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

The reports of mass killings, starvation, and displacement in El Fasher are horrifying.

The US must hold the UAE & any other arms dealers to the RSF accountable and act urgently to save lives.

The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

Literally not a single senator has called for him to step down and he ran for the position unopposed.

This includes Bernie Sanders.

We’ve done four Peabody #BikeBus rides with the band so far, and each one relies on an incredible selfless army of volunteers.

I’m so grateful to them without whom we couldn’t pull off this joyful madness. A true community.

Happy HONKoween 🎺🎷🎃
