Video captures Minneapolis immigration arrest in a city on edge after shooting of Renee Good Federal agents are carrying out immigration arrests in Minnesota’s Twin Cities region already shaken by the fatal shooting of a woman.

Soooo.... it seems that ICE goons in MN pushed into a house and forced their way inside in order to capture someone. They did not have a judicial warrant.

As promised, here is the cover for Muñeca, out June of 2026!

Described thusly: A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working class witch who sets out to rescue a bespelled heiress and loses control of her powers and her heart in the process.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

The sheer craven indignity of the We're All Looking for the Guy Who Did This hot dog costume man trying to sound somber as he reads a young trans woman's eulogy is going to give me a rage stroke.
