As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

shutting down a 100-year-old newspaper (with roots dating to the 1700s!) rather than pay fair wages and engage in fair labor practices
NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

I think I just saw an ICE vehicle pull
into the Dollar General on McNeilly Rd.
Black suburban, spotlight on the driver side, black and gold construction zone sticker on the back bumper, and a plastic shield over the license plate that made it completely indecipherable.

I used to find "DEI" to be a weak corporate counterpoint to "racial justice" but now I unironically want every business in America doing DEI as loudly as possible because the relevant counterpoint today is "overt racism."

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians.

What will happen now is, instead of negotiating a contract, Whole Foods will litigate this up to DC where it will sit in limbo forever because Trump has been allowed to gut the NLRB. The only way to get big companies to bargain will be strikes and more strikes. Pro-worker Republican Party in action.
