A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I also can’t even begin to wrap my mind about how profoundly racist you have to be to decide that the only thing Black people have to offer to opposition work is their bodies.

Black people: hey. “Say Her Name” was created to center murdered Black women whose names are often ignored and forgotten.
Some white leftist every day: Well it’s ours now, nigger!
And then don’t understand why Black people don’t fuck with them.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

I'm not a lawyer but I think SVU's AI episode concludes with bad case law. People abusing AI should be civil liability to the companies, criminal to the perps. fuck that tech, but I don't like the idea of letting the people actually doing the creating of non-consensual images off the hook.

Domestic violence.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

the hardest thing about the last 5 years has been balancing my raging anxiety and tendency to catatrophize, with the fact that I am nearly always right to do so. like, my hit rate is 9.5/10. I cannot talk myself down when my predictions are correct!

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online
various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism
I can still hear the crickets

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.”
That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

it NEVER stops being fascinating to me how quickly Traitors roundtables devolve into moral absolutes. they're always saying so and so would make a good traitor, and maybe they would! but they do not actually have control over whether or not they are one so it's irrelevant evidence!

I think it's cute they're saying Stephen is from One Tree Hill. I wonder if they just assume Gen Z has never heard of Laguna Beach?

A woman on IG has been making videos of immigrant lines at the U.S. Mexico borders…full of Americans standing in line to get affordable dental care in Mexico.
It’s sublime counter programming.

The First Amendment pretty explicitly protects the right to be a fucking bitch to ICE.
white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”

enthusiastic participation in the US military post 9/11 obligates you to a certain degree of "we must protect ourselves from the scary Muslim people" groupthink that stays in your brain unless you actively deprogram from it. of course he thinks Homeland Security just needs a few lil' tweaks
