ICE/DHS put out a completely false story to justify shooting a civilian in Chicago.

Many social media accounts were only too happy to repeat the narrative, going as far as to say ICE engaged in self defence.

Thank god for the body cam footage, but this shows why we don’t trust anything DHS says

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.

109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

Borderlands 2 came out in 2012 and 3 came out in 2019. Tastes significantly changed between those two periods. That's why.

Zoe @zoeleet.bsky.social · 23d

It also blows my mind that people hate Borderlands 3 for the writing but praise 2. They're both awful and unfunny. They're like watching a crappy stand up comedian die on stage and you're completely sober.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Apparently this is false, the article that cites this information was translated from a Korean article that doesn’t mention ChatGPT at all. The song was also written 8 years ago. I think Sherwin Wu just lied to try and drum up excitement using a popular thing

Big agree w/ ^^^. I wish more people would come to terms with this. The "Law" is not some protective force of nature that cannot be circumvented; it is a construct that, in the hands of bad-faith actors, changes and is applied to people unequally in order to enact their goals.

Ricci Sergienko, Esq. @riccisergienko.bsky.social · 23d

This case was appealed up to the Supreme Court and they ended up allowing the Feds to continue with their race-based roving patrols in Los Angeles.

All I’m saying we shouldn’t be loudly proclaiming “they can’t do that!” when it’s been proven that they can in-fact bend the law to their will…

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · Jul 12

🚨 In Los Angeles, ICE and Border Patrol are banned from stopping and questioning people based solely on:

- Their race/ethnicity
- Speaking Spanish or having an accent
- Being at a specific place (e.g. hanging outside Home Depot where day laborers congregate)
- Doing specific work (e.g. landscaping)

"We've spent a lot of money on the military and now they have nothing to do so we might as well let the president use it domestically to satisfy his own petty grudges" is precisely why the Founders feared a standing army.

I mean, it's pretty much fucking verbatim.

Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."
