🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins.

Yes, every court. SCOTUS could have said it wasn’t an insurrection and use that as basis for their decision, but didn’t. Read into that what you want, but fact is lower courts’ determination here has never been contradicted.
Point of order: if you're referring to Trump v. Anderson, SCOTUS never ruled on whether Jan 6th was an insurrection. They said states don't have the right to enforce Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Every court that ever ruled on whether Jan 6th was an insurrection has said it was. SCOTUS sidestepped.

Sue everyone my guy!!
This is f*cked up!
There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.
And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.
So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social posts he’ll never be on a list of Dems who voted to praise ICE, which included Rep. Cohen— who since said he meant to vote “No” but thought he was voting on something else. (Letter👇🏽)

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

So they’re now claiming they’re Trump’s private army…?
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

I should be clear, there's a portion of the population who will believe whatever the administration says because they *desperately want to believe it*. You don't have to think about those people when analyzing situations like this, they don't matter for your analysis and will only make you feel bad.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Too many people are AFRAID of what could be.
The idea that our demand for human rights and equality has to be packaged perfectly with a bow on top is tiresome. Hopefully this moment demonstrates how the failure to address law enforcement excess is now (through ICE actions) recognized as a threat to democracy in this country.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)
