While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

This piece by Garrett Graff is beautifully explained and gives a detailed history of how we got here with ICE and CBP.
The brutal Minnesota occupation—the Global War on Terror transplanted from Kabul or Baghdad to US soil—has a lot of people asking basic q's about ICE and CBP, so I wanted to explain the agencies' problems and what changed to bring this war to our streets. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

Trump has shamelessly used the presidency to make an amount of money equal to 16,822 times the median U.S. household income of $83,730.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

An off duty local cop in MN, a woman of color, was stopped by ICE and they demanded to see her papers. When she reached to get her phone to record the interaction, an ICE agent knocked it out of her hand.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
