Hey guys, just checking in—

Oh.

Minority Report, but for the globe. What could possibly go wrong?

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

Yeahhhh but it'll damn sure make your life hell for a bit.

He must be talking about Ozempic Farva.

In my nearly 50 years I’ve never seen a group of people who love the first amendment so much hate the first amendment so much.

The only reason colleges turn out libs is because it takes a whole bunch of people from different places and backgrounds and they all become friends, and that infuriates them

I don't know who in media needs to hear this (actually yeah I do) but just b/c someone uses Words when they drop that hard-R doesn't mean they get the social protection of "inclusive disagreement & debate." It's ok for civilized society to reject them--b/c there's no right way to be a fucking bigot.

Did they really just trot out "madrassas"? Uh, 2004 called, they want their talking points back.

Some things are just better left in their eternal resting place.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

All this talk about d-pad arrows and video game cheat codes is making me nostalgic IYKYK

Tragic situation, and I hope for a swift recovery by the officer, who was reportedly struck and sustained "severe injuries." But this raises the obvious question; were the officers in uniforms and driving marked vehicles, or were they wearing plainclothes and facemasks and driving unmarked cars?

14yo son walked in from school just as the shooting hit the news, glanced at the TV and said, “Who’s Charlie Kirk?”

The vilification of (human) rights activists continues—and no details on what the agents were wearing or how the stop was carried out.

And by campfire, I obvs mean dumpster fire. But yeah, we are the Baskin Robbins of IO targets, and it’s only getting worse.

Man Fatally Shot in Confrontation With ICE Officers in Chicago Area

And now, we return to your regularly scheduled programming.

It’s not like the Russians packed it in after 2016, “Job’s done boss.” They (and prob others) are absolutely gathered around the campfire that is American society, stoking away.

If you’re like me and haven’t laughed all week, you’re welcome.

Increasing bad, even.

This seems bad.

Admittedly falls in the impotently whining category, but this is something we should’ve thought about before we let tech companies make all of *us* the media—but w/out the guardrails.

Toothpaste is all over the countertop and on the floor, and I don’t see how it gets back in the tube.

**For the civilians out there, a parade rifle is non-functional. So this kid brought a club to a gunfight because hell yeah he did.

That’s the spirit.

I don't know how long it will take to bend the arc of history back from where we're headed, but if the last 24 hours has taught me anything, there's no guarantee it will come anytime soon. But we must find a way. We must leave our children something better than this. We just must.

This is the world we live in now. Whether by malice, ignorance or apathy, this is the reality that millions of our fellow citizens manifested on election day. I want to hate them, I really do. But mostly I just pity them--I pity their stunted lives, their darkened souls, & their simple existence. 3/

I should be talking to him about classes, his new apartment, the kitten he & his boyfriend just adopted. Instead, most of our call was filled w/ lessons about AT/FP, questions about any new security measures at his school, discussions about CK, his followers' response, and its downstream effects. 2/

Today, peak anxiety is having a trans college kid at a school 500 miles away in the Wake of Everything. Spent a solid hour on the phone w/ him this afternoon having the talk, not unlike the one Black families have been having for generations--only for us new to the practice--and now I'm just angry.🧵

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.
