Target says they can’t keep ICE out of their stores because they’re open to the public.

After we were *kicked out of Target yesterday*, this NYPD officer helpfully explained to me that Target can keep out:
⁃ shoplifters
⁃ protesters

⁃ ICE
⁃ anybody, actually

The Philadelphia Board of Education voted Thursday to approve a $600,000 contract with police supply store Atlantic Tactical. The funding will come out of the school safety operating budget.
"Multiple studies have found that school resource officers do not reduce gun-related incidents at schools, but do intensify the use of suspension, expulsion and police referral, especially for Black and Brown students."
Tactical gear will soon become part of school safety officers’ everyday outfit
The Philadelphia School Board of Education has approved a $600,000 contract to provide all school safety officers handcuffs and bulletproof vests.

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

one way you can tell that the consumer economy is totally fucked, at least for the 99 percent, is that there are barely any tv commercials for just, like, things you might want to buy. it's nearly all drugs, prescription and otherwise, and a few lingering car commercials that are all old.

Meanwhile in the South, there are still 100,000 without power from last weekend's ice storm in TN/MS.

In Mississippi, about 10,000 people were restored in the last 24 hours. At that rate, it'll be next weekend before all are restored.

It is interesting to me how many engagement farming blue wave accounts have already responded to this to disagree.

I immediately block all engagement farming accounts that enter my field of vision, btw.
Part of the reason the regime is doing extreme violence to ICE responders on camera is because it is a form of propaganda. The videos and images are intended to suppress ICE response by triggering and terrorizing responders.

Don't spread enemy propaganda on social media.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

Ahahaha CBS just showed Johansen’s memorial card along with the others they yanked from the broadcast earlier. Someone must have complained loudly
Oh no you did NOT just turn the camera away from the screen a nanosecond after David Johansen’s name came up #Grammys
