Beyond pointing the finger at particular governments - the critical thing is that death and illness levels - whether from MRSA or COVID or flu or whatever - are not facts of nature that we just have to accept, but matters of political (and public) will and competence.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE
The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast
The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side
He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot
That’s murder

when I find really nice rocks digging in the garden or walking the dog, I save them to give to my best friends because we are all of us simple creatures of the earth, otters and penguins and crows carrying a smooth shiny pebble to give to someone we love
You can take a rock home and no one can stop you. Pick up a piece of 430 million year old sandstone from the banks of the river, where it has lain since it was sand on the bed of a vanished sea, in turn eroded from long-gone mountain ranges in the centre of the continent. Perfectly legal.

Reporting from Minneapolis, Assigned's own @alyssaur.bsky.social with a powerful piece.
She writes of the fear of living in a city under seige, of how Renee Good's queerness is being downplayed in legacy media, and of how the queer and trans people are rising up despite the terror.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.
