This is disgusting.

The "Nihilist Penguin" from Werner Herzog’s Encounters at the End of the World was the first thing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs posted after Alex Pretti, a VA employee, was executed by the state.

A white nationalist meme.

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and millions of marginalized people senselessly murdered, including Roma, Slavs, disabled folks, the LGBTQ+ community, and more. (1/2)

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.

Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene.

β€œThat day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

The Surprise 1990 Hit That Redefined β€œIndie” and Launched a Few Stars The crowd-pleasing comedy is finally coming to the Criterion Collection.

The 1990 classic House Party celebrated its 35th anniversary last year. A bona fide classic, it has deservedly received the @criterion.bsky.social treatment in all of its zany and energetic glory. I was lucky enough to chat w/ writer/director @reghud.bsky.social about its lasting impact and legacy.

ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

Feds are trying to use coercion to stop ICE watch activity in Maine:

β€œThe volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them.”

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of the family members of 2 Trinidadian men killed by a U.S. missile strike while traveling home from Venezuela by boat.

The government must be held accountable.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale.

These are mostly children.

This is where Liam Ramos is being held.

They’re screaming β€œlet us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.

These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

This is true, and we cannot get complacent, but it is 100% a good sign that Bovino got the boot. It's more accountability than we've seen in a year

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
