Heroism is not just in Alex Pretti's action to ask an assaulted woman, "Are you OK?" before being murdered. It's also in the act of bravely staying on the scene to document the horror so the world can know the truth.

ICE recruitment is collection of White Nationalist, racist dog whistles that most of us wouldn't have known or picked up on. But our northern friends, the CBC, put this together. It's worth watching so you can spot it & call it out on your social media feeds.

MAGA hypocrisy knows no bounds.
FYI: Alex Pretti was 100% within his rights to have his licensed weapon on his person, and he was 100% within his rights to be where he was at the moment he was attacked and gunned down by the MAGA Militia (yes, ICE is the MAGA Militia)

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign.

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.
