imagine being so rotted that Bruce Springsteen writes a brand new song about how much you suck shit and announces it by saying β€œby the way I’m so fucking mad that I banged this out in 24 hours”

how are you still up and walking around after being slammed like that

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social:

β€œI’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. β€œNot at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

Anderson Cooper played side-by-side video of Noem and Bovino smearing the victim of Saturday's shooting, then said, "If either of these public officials had an ounce of decency, they would call up Alex Pretti's parents and apologize."

What to read to understand the ICE phenomenon. Our friends at Verso have prepared this ultra thorough ABOLISH ICE reading list, featuring a number of excellent titles that can help explain how we got here. Histories of American immigration, or …

A mini syllabus (Including four free books!) for understanding ICE.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

It better not stop here. Dems better not use this as an excuse to bury their heads in the sand. ICE still needs to be abolished no matter who at the top gets replaced

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Rightβ€”commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

At the Alex Pretti memorial this afternoon, people are unfurling four very large banners.

They read, "How many more will ICE murder? How many more funerals? How many more...how many more?"

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.

BCA accuses the feds of:

- Taking β€œexclusive access of evidence at the scene” (The phone he was recording with?)
- Detained witnesses
- Allowed the scene to collapse, β€œpossibly spoiling evidence”

This is Minnesota’s statewide LEA that has jurisdiction over all fatal uses of force

@vivaldi.com For the third time, the DRM has stopped working on my braswer. The last two times, I completely deleted the browser and reinstalled, which was time consuming.

I did a bug report but never heard back. Do you have a fix for this? Or do I just need to find a new browser.

Hi. It’s a lot.

You still have a body.

Did you eat? Take your meds? Drink water?

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it
