Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Sometimes a smell is all memory. I can't even name the olfactory notes, it's just 100% a very recognizable tune from a moment and place in the past. Maybe I tow memories behind me like Pigsty from the Peanuts gang did with dirt; a swirling cloud of clouds and every so often one of the clouds within

The worst is it be the same people sometimes who will encourage you to set boundaries and stand up for yourself when you are letting shit slide who will then ditch you when you do. Cause they meant check other people, they meant don't let other people's shit slide

Saw a guy carrying a Captain America shield lunge in to snatch a tear gas grenade from under some people's feet and launch it clear all while blocking more munitions with his shield before a literal crowd of ICEtapo goons took him down and then gassed a whole neighborhood.

it’s legitimately wild that the state had these guys out doing crowd control.

"Cannabis" and "Cannibals" are too close as words. Cause, like, those are VERY different parties.

...the munchies are a problem with either group though. You don't want to be the one who forgot to bring the snacks

i cannot imagine the soul withering misery of finally claiming your freedom after 43 years of confinement only to be snatched up for indefinite confinement somewhere else on even flimsier grounds

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Only problem with this strategy is if they DO catch him and lock him up, you know they won't release him no matter what

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Short Thread...

It's been a full week since DHS issued a press release claiming TEN CARS ambushed them—and have since:
•charged ZERO of those alleged 10 drivers
•arrested ZERO of those alleged 10 people
•filed ZERO reports of alleged property damage, &
•offered ZERO evidence of their claim

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

Admittedly, I was never a serious X-Files fan. I knew I had seen some seasons more times than others, but I thought I had seen all of it at some point or another over the years.

A certain legacy-media editorial board recommended capitulation in the face of Trump’s invasion, but on the South Side, we believe Chicagoans should keep standing up for one another.

South Side Weekly @southsideweekly.bsky.social · 4d

Let us be clear: The President of the United States is levying war against American cities and American citizens—and we cannot rely on the other branches of government to save us.

It’s up to us.

It’s Up to Us to Protect One Another

As Trump sends troops to Chicago, we will continue to investigate and report. Readers have a role to play, too.
