We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:
ICE Agent Who Reportedly Shot Renee Good Was a Firearms Trainer, Per Testimony
Jonathan Ross told a federal court in December about his professional background, including “hundreds” of encounters with drivers during enforcement actions, according to testimony obtained by WIRED.

Vance, who may see himself pitted against @aoc.bsky.social in a general election, will deeply regret -- I hope in his heart, but certainly politically -- trashing Renee Good as "deranged" while valorizing his killer, who called her a "fuckin' bitch" after shooting her through her side window.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

They could take a lesson off the book of Brazil's Supreme Court, due to when Twitter refused to comply with our legal system. In fact, our Supreme Court should learn from itself and do this again. A few months ago everyone was so worried about online sexualisation of children, but it's ok with AI?

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

It proves what we know: Their attitude is “F- you to the law. We do whatever we want.” Illegal, unamerican, and dangerous. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Vocês lembram do brasileiro Jean Charles de Menezes, assassinado desarmado num metrô de Londres?

Sabe o que aconteceu com a chefe da operação, que insistiu que ele era sim um terrorista até o final?

Hoje, Cressida Dick ocupa o cargo mais alto da polícia britânica.

Matar e mentir compensa.
Amongst everything else, I'm thinking about how eager the UK press were initially to swallow the Met's lie that Jean Charles de Menezes was a terrorist after they executed him in a tube station

I work forensics in civil courts and I stopped working police shootings because of this exact circumstance: trigger happy cops will deliberately stand in front of vehicles, and at that point any movement of the vehicle will be treated as an attempted assault on the agent and they’ll open fire.
