Boy is #darrellissa an asshole

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

ICE must be abolished. Any verifiable civil rights violations should be prosecuted. Bovino and Noem should held responsible for all of it.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained.

A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz."

A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months.

We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.

NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Responsible leaders of American institutions must deal with the tyrant in the Oval Office by saying unequivocally “no” and unambiguously refusing to do what he demands. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-not-to-submit-to-a-tyrant

“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

I'm coming to the conclusion that all of this has been planned from the beginning. They want the public to react to ICE, thats why the agents are masked & brutal. Then they can take control of the blue cities/states and enact their plan. Democrats need to get ahead of this.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

The regime is looking to provoke violence so they have an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, criminalize dissent, and federalize the National Guard.

The movement can win with mass participation if we maintain non-violent discipline and win defections from the security forces.

And when they don't get the violence they want, they invent it and are believed wholesale by legacy media, who launder their lies for them.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

STILL DEVELOPING: ICE kidnapped David Huerta — a U.S. citizen and president of California’s biggest union — in broad daylight during an illegal raid.

They also bodyslammed a woman like it was a war zone. This is state sponsored violence.

They’re sending a message. So should we.

I remember shortly after September 11, 2001 when the Bush administration announced the establishment of the “Department of Homeland Security”.
My gut reaction the to this news was “this sounds like some jingoistic gestapo bullshit ”.
