I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white
Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

My mayor told me police keep killing his constituents so I asked how many constituents he has and he said he just gives the police more money for training afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just paying the police to kill his constituents and then Matt Yglesias started crying.

I just let out the ugliest laugh. There’s practically more press than protesters at the Nazi march
Downtown Minneapolis currently—
Jake Lang and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day.
I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend.

I read an interview today where Alison Bechdel talked about using chatGPT for a panel of her recent comic -- she prompted it and copied the results -- and I still don't know what to do with that. It genuinely feels in moments like this like so many of our art elders are failing us.
Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

Regular reminder that anyone making confident predictions about anything is a fool. No one knows what's going to happen. Lean into uncertainty and get comfortable with it.

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

I’m not American, but I am pretty sure the First Amendment *establishes* those rights, but cannot actually protect them because it is in fact words on a piece of paper and that is notoriously shit at stopping an angry fascist with a gun
The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.
