Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

To be fair, every time I hear Oracle I think of Bryan Cantrill.

A stage with lots of cast and audience members, some in hats and coats. A screen is at the top half of the photo. There’s a shadow of a girl and trees, and other ambiguous shapes. There’s a layer of red color. Below the screen is another smaller screen with the same image, about as tall as a person.

Just saw The 4th Witch, by
www.manualcinema.com, as part of the 2026 Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival. chicagopuppetfest.org/event/manual... After the show they invited us to come onstage to look at the puppets and equipment, and to ask questions of the cast or musicians. Amazing show.

Got my second shingles shot today.

Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember this.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.
