Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

office siren? i guess...

“Gramsci used to say 'Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will'. What he meant is: understand how the bloody system works.” - Stuart Hall, born Feb. 3, 1932

The number of people currently in ICE custody is now over 73,000, the most in history.

i was reading some old 90s books about dialup cybersex BBSes on archive.org and i learned about tom terrific who owned the pleasure dome. thank you, tom terrific, for owning the pleasure dome.

ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

ethical dilemmas with #eizouken 🔎

Very good points all through this thread, but also I'm not sure people understand how many BLM activists died under suspicious circumstances.

Rest in Power Edward Crawford and many more.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

The masks aren't the cause of their violent behavior. The masks are the result of a system that has uplifted law enforcement despite their open radicalization to the right. Where we are politically with federal police is the result of a failure to take seriously the problem of police power.

The cover of Blades in the Dark next to the cover of Blades '68

In celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design.

BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.

Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

After ICE release St. Paul woman, she says agents keep returning to her home Thi Dua Vang legally came to the U.S. two years ago. So when ICE showed up, she thought it must have been a mistake.

Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home.

Feds Identify “Leader of Antifa” The list they're creating says so, anyway

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.

One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Epstein believed that he was ushering in some kind of political revolution in the late 2010s, supporting far-right candidates across Europe. But it's clear from reading his emails that he was learning how to fit into that world as it was being created.

You should keep this in mind while reading Epstein emails, is what I mean.

For those commenting on the agents' surnames.

Latest Batch of Epstein Files Expose Survivors While Illustrating Elite Impunity The files reveal new details about Epstein’s connections to public officials, Hollywood figures, and tech billionaires.

Attorney Arick Fudali, who represents 11 Epstein survivors, says the release of the files has been a “perfect storm” of “incompetency and an active cover-up” by the Trump administration, as one the survivors he represents was named over 500 times by mistake.

Communists seeing their claims about the global bourgeoisie once again proven right only for the public to go “omg Alex Jones and the conspiracy theorists were right!”

tbh imo it's less this and more that they could see the winds shifting and they knew they could materially benefit from stoking it further because they were in the perfect position to do so. that's what guys like this do. when you've already in a position like that you can do whatever you want.

to those about to crowdfund, we salute you

watching people talk about epstein like he was the dark puppet master pulling the strings of the fascist political machine instead of realizing all these people are friends and working together to make all of our lives worse is going to make me go insane

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you
