“People are getting kidnapped where they work. People are getting taken away when they're cleaning snow out of their cars. My son's school, 25 people, only r people showed up yesterday. People are afraid to do their groceries. People are afraid to go to work.
“We are not safe. We are under attack”

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically.

Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25.
Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?

Ursula offers Peter Parker a slice of cake in SPIDER-MAN 2, and Peter finally reaches a point where he can accept some kindness, even though he hates himself.
The simplest, and most unexpected gesture, and it means everything.
Most important scene in the whole film. Makes me cry every time.

This is a favorite question to ask. Favorite little moment of kindness in a movie? I'm thinking of Tim Blake Nelson leaving money on the sill after they steal a pie in O Brother.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

This act of arson was devastating - two torahs were destroyed and the entire library.
Beth Israel is the ONLY synagogue in Jackson.
The synagogue was bombed by the KKK in the 1960s because of its work with the civil rights movement and its fight against racism and segregation.

NEW: GoFundMe's rules forbid fundraisers tied to legal funds for violent crimes. One for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, currently nearing $500K, changed the language in its description after @wired.com reached out (but not in the images at the top of the page, oops) @dell.bsky.social reports:
GoFundMe Ignores Own Rules by Hosting a Legal-Defense Fund for the ICE Agent Who Killed Renee Good
The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe’s own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement.

And so was Laura Ingraham’s in 2016.
Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*
Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators:
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

Why do you people lie like this?
👮🏻♂️"Show me your f*cking hands n*gger, or I'll blow your f*cking head off!" is what I've been told more than once.
A Black immigrant is still more likely to be pulled over by cops and killed for being Black, than pulled over by ICE and killed for being an immigrant.

I’m sure there’s an incoming grift (Trump Juice!), but it’s especially hilarious when SO many products tout their protein levels. Starbucks sells protein coffee now! Absolutely lunacy (the title of RFK’s bio)
I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”
How about ending the war on the health of this country?

I'm glad Sinners won that absurd award, but the nominees for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement included one movie that had not yet opened (Avatar) and another that had no reported box office (Kpop DH), so we should note that the prize does not even have the integrity of its own corruption.
