"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Ominous given this is how people typically affiliated with swastikas get to the locations they terrorize. Usually in a U-Haul.

a panel from a comic by Matt Groening, depicting one of his weird rabbit dudes looking slightly disoriented against a black background. the panel is labeled, "1990s", and a speech bubble appears from off-screen that reads, "BY BEING THE SAME AS REPUBLICANS WE CAN DEFEAT THE REPUBLICANS."

I for one would like to stop being trapped in a Matt Groening panel from 1996

I do think this matters. A Democrat should be willing to support the status quo of 2020 on trans rights. If that's too much then they're supporting the removal of our rights.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

YES, I think about this insight from Marilyn Frye all the time. When I first read this essay in college, it was like a lightning storm in my brain in the best way. So many questions were answered.

They murdered somebody during one of their raids.

They actually did it.

The discourse around affirmative action and Zohranโ€™s self-identification is rooted in anti-Blackness and is divorced from the facts or peer-reviewed work around both AA policy or Identity. Also trying to separate African Americans as those who โ€œdescend from slavesโ€ and those who donโ€™t isโ€ฆ bad faith

Ah yes, the guy who shrugged it off in 2023 when I informed him the AI "Harriet Tubman" his company is peddling to schools claimed Tubman said some anti-Black bullshit she never said. And even helpfully explained the racist and ahistorical meaning behind the totally fake quote!

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

If someone asked me what โ€œmy relationship is with the policeโ€ was like, I would HAVE to make an assumption about what ethnicity they are because only ONE group gets to CHOOSE how the police relates to them.

You can challenge racism without literally using the phrasing & pretexts of the racists. I donโ€™t know what to tell you other than that.

I feel like the people defending Colbert should rewatch that interview and compare how he speaks to Lander and Mamdani. The way he constructs the questions, including the โ€œCuomo knows where the bodies are buriedโ€ question, was bad faith. He didnโ€™t HAVE to phrase it that way to โ€œgive them runway.โ€
