The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Tough days.

Tough weeks.

Sometimes a 3:41 minute break is all it takes.

Sweet Dreams, America.

Check out this stunning "Lunar Curve" (not a lunar analemma), by Giorgia Hofer! 🔭

It looks magical, with the #Moon tracing a path 🧪 over the mountains.

Actually, it's a beautiful digital composite montage, not something you can actually see in real life.

Leaders are in the streets. Every day. Every night.

Our city council President, several city council members, state reps and state senators. Heroics daily.

The governor? Missing.
The mayor? All media, only media.
Our senators? Who the fuck knows.
we're going to need to see Dem leaders in the streets

"please stop" is not working and they see it as weakness

you want to help, governor? go on an ICE patrol in Stancil's Honda Fit

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

A highly emotional film that rips your soul out, then mends it with beauty and catharsis.

You can tell they’re lying cause they keep saying that “rhetoric” is worse than 3 bullets in the face
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Keep filming these assholes. Keep making them famous.
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

ICE has awarded a contract to Constellis Holdings, the successor to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater.

The contract is for "skip tracing" to hunt down 1.5 million immigrants—and offering bounties for their locations.

Using whatever surveillance tools they want—no badges, no oversight.

Constellis Holdings, which traces its roots to Erik Prince’s mercenary firm Blackwater, landed an ICE contract as a bounty hunter.

ICE is killing people.

They are shooting and murdering them in the streets, and letting them die in detention.

It’s the anti-immigrant lies and propaganda fueling this, and making us all less safe.

But never underestimate the Right’s love of playing the imaginary victim.

1/ Ci sono diversi video che mostrano come sono andati i fatti. Mostrano in maniera inequivocabile cosa è successo. Come quella giovane donna è stata intimorita, minacciata, assalita da agenti mascherati e uccisa senza alcun motivo a sangue freddo non con uno ma con tre colpi al viso e alla testa.

Che per il referendum sulla giustizia il comitato per il sì costruisca la sua campagna sulla comunicazione del comitato per il no dice solo una cosa: è solo revanscismo. Infatti gli stanno benissimo addosso come lustrini i figli di Berlusconi.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

A corollary of this position is that the regime believes this to be not just to be the correct functioning of ICE, but exemplary behavior.

They are asking us to view cold-blooded murder as representative of ICE and all of its personnel.

We should believe them.

I want us to take the anger & grief we feel for Renee — whose name we know, whose smiling face we see— and think of all the people killed by these same monsters whose names we don’t know & won’t see. The mothers and fathers whose only sin was striving for more. Whose rights Renee died fighting for.
