Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

Reading Black and Native histories will rip the scales from your eyes, about the lies White Americans tell themselves about themselves, and their country.
Which is why this administration is so insistent on re-whitening media, academia and public history (museums, etc)

Almost like despite proclamations to the contrary, they are getting the message that they can use “vehicle as a deadly weapon“ as an excuse to fire on people
“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.”

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿♂️
They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.
No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡
And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Third ink block design. Still can't draw, don't have the right grade paper/board, and need to purchase a baren (pressing tool). This time, I used a rolling pin to push the paper into the inked block. This design started when the words "They came down from the hills" randomly popped into my thoughts

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I don’t think they’re embarrassed to say so I think they’re ambivalent about these statements at best.
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
