We have to assume that every masked ICE agent is A murderer until the feds disclose which ICE agents are THE murderers.

On May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood.
11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children.
As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

Dear White People,
I’m glad you’re finally angry enough to scream and say something. If you don’t keep pushing forward with that energy and apply it harder when it comes to POC, as well as white people, we will back slid and be here again!!

Today, President Zelenskyy, on his 48th birthday, is in Lithuania.
“Ultimately, history punishes those who stand aside. In many respects, the wars of the 20th century were the result of the indifference of those in power in the 19th century.”

“Please get the truth out about our son.”
Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.
Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.”
Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

Men doing “manly” chores is a fucking joke. Women do it all, and get it done the first time. Women do more than most men can even conceptualize.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.
The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.
Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I’m entirely behind the belief that curses and hexes are justifiable, and when executed with intent, work. If your anger has only intensified reapply those malefic magicks!
Then do an action which amplifies that intent! Protect your neighbors, protect the vulnerable!

So the series overall all follows some very predictable arcs but it was like consuming a warm cup of soup, soothing and fulfilling.
I’d really read more about the side characters and world in general if there was ever a spin off!
