I'm gonna gamble on this not being actionable: Kyle Rittenhouse should have cigarettes put out on him for the rest of time
Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.
Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

it goes without saying but just in case it's not obvious, what ICE is doing now in MN is what regular cops have been doing for years to Black and brown civilians with impunity, it's just never been as concentrated and televised; this is just to say, it's not new and it's not un-american

seems fairly clear that the ICE guys have been told by somebody "if you kill somebody, local police aren't allowed to investigate the scene, and you need to obstruct them"
Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

This happened today and is a big story more news outlets should be reporting on but of course they aren't

you can't let the 2 year old go cause you'd be admitting it was wrong to abduct and jail a 2 year old, which undermines your justification for brutalizing and murdering protesters and observers, ie they are preventing you from doing The Right Thing. and you especially can't admit that to the COURTS

There is evil and then there is this
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Delete TikTok, guys. There is no reason any app needs this info for any reason other than to use said information target individuals. It is not safe.

it's frustrating, because I've gone to bat for Yakuza/Like a Dragon for a *long* time

I was part of the initial huge push for Yakuza 0 forever ago and got so many other people into it

but with all these really-not-bright decisions coming out from the studio, well... I'm okay saying goodbye
Really sucks to see the Yakuza franchise, a series I would have happily called my favorite for several years, just fumble all the good will it's accumulated and make me - and plenty of others it seems - want nothing to do with it.

I have fond memories but I doubt I'll be returning to Kamurocho.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

I have long since run out of the words for how pitiful ICE is, but again and again these people are speed running going to hell for this one.

Something that is very important here is that this man’s fellow agents didn’t rush to help him or save his life, barely even pulled over. This is not a military unit joined by bonds of brotherhood and experience together. There is no unit cohesion besides a shared desire to hurt people.

"It's about immigration" they crow as they beat a starving family into the concrete, dangling a child from a fishing pole as bait.

"We're the good guys in this actually!" They brag, as the Acme Brand box trap with a stack of spaghetti on it traps yet another hungry child.

"Heroes, is what we are"

Federal agents going door to door, forcing entry, and detaining people without judge-signed warrants is a grotesque abuse of power and violation of the 4th amendment.

That’s not law enforcement. It’s a secret police force.
