They are not, they never will be, that's not the point of them, get your head out of your ass before your childlike simplicity kills more people than it is already bound to kill.

Thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying it!!

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

There’s no point during the detention of a five-year-old that any person with a functioning moral center would not step back to reassess the situation and their place in it. That nobody involved did proves they lack the common interiority required to successfully coexist in ordered society.

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

It really does feel like they're actively trying to lose. They have their finger on something but it sure ain't the pulse of the public.

Black lab looming over me but in a totally chill way, just happens to be in the area and while he’s here did I remember it’s dinnertime? nbd

This one just happens to be sitting one foot away from me, casually jingling his collar every 30 seconds, so I don’t forget what is supposed to happen 15 minutes from now (dinner)

just wanted to give praise to my Minnesota homies tonight. long live your strength and long live your solidarity.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

Honestly Stella d’oro breadsticks probably WILL turn Charlie into a soup lover, they slap

Milhouse from The Simpsons telling Bart about their status among the school's bullies: "We get beat up, but we get an explanation."

House Democrats present a new measure for dealing with ICE.

OTD in 1940 Horace Julian Bond was born. Social activist, co-founder of SNCC, legislator and professor, Bond shared in this 1975 letter—on the eve of its bicentennial—his hopes for the future of democracy in the United States.

*OR why an expressway map is enough to wreck a neighborhood, good grief

—how Baltimore’s power brokers robbed a Black homeowners’ community three times in three decades, and why it matters.

Topics include:
—how segregated schools made segregated neighborhoods
—racist blockbusting/real-estate speculation
—how interstate highways got built, or didn’t, and why
—why Balt’s efforts to un-do urban renewal were such a disaster, why an expressway map is enough to wreck a neighborhood

Syllabus-writing friends! If you’re interested in assigning all or part of ROAD TO NOWHERE in your history/urban studies/whatever classes, let me know! I’m working on a discussion/teachers’ guide to share and I would be delighted to zoom into your classes and chat with students. Spread the word!!

“New” funding
“Meaningful” reforms

We love weasel words don’t we folks.

We really don't have to live like this.

this still slaps youtu.be/ZQ_MEFVx5jM?...

hey, quick question: what’s it gonna take

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.

This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

It's a media app, not a damn segregated lunch counter. You are not a freedom fighter, Brenda.

ICE Agent Who Reportedly Shot Renee Good Was a Firearms Trainer, per Testimony Jonathan Ross told a federal court in December about his professional background, including “hundreds” of encounters with drivers during enforcement actions, according to testimony obtained by WIRED.

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month
