“It’s doubtful that the shooting will deter anti-ICE resistance. The observers, I fear, will now go out in twos and threes, ready to record not just the ICE kidnappings, but also, potentially, each other’s deaths.”

Renee Good and other legal observers came to record what they genuinely believe to be an atrocity: the violent snatching of their immigrant neighbors by masked ICE agents. The whistles, the car honks, the hurriedly captured smartphone videos: These are acts of faith in shared reality, in community, and in due process. They believe that these things — eroded as they are — are worth fighting for.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

If officials can’t bring themselves to arrest someone who is captured on camera from multiple angles killing someone in cold blood, they should just step aside so someone with a backbone can lead

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein
The media has spent the last few months trying to make sense out of nonsense, attempting to conjure motive, manifesto, and meaning out of the dumbest shit scrawled onto bullets. These were sad attempts to impose meaning on an increasingly incoherent world by a literati that has not yet accepted its irrelevance in a postliterate society. But the most humiliating display of literate obliviousness in the face of the total collapse of meaning, however, was Ezra Klein's bizarre eulogy to Charlie Kirk. The now-infamous column ("Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way") can best be understood as an expression of class solidarity. Klein, I would argue, sees both himself and Kirk as being Debate Guys, wordcels who engage in the marketplace of ideas and let speech sort itself out into political action. Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else's job. Last year, he called for using whips against migrants, saying, "Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?" In early June of this year, as the president deployed troops to Los Angeles, Kirk publicly advocated for invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to crush the immigration protests. And in August, he called for "federalizing" the district of Columbia, saying, "Roll in the tanks, bring in the military." With his close relationship to the commander in chief of the United States of America, Charlie Kirk was no mere talker, idea-peddler, or purveyor of discourse. He built an empire on legitimizing violence and harvesting the enthusiasm and glee around it. Even before his death became a pretext to enact violence on American cities, he had already substantively shaped history. Charlie Kirk was a part of the real world in a way that Ezra Klein will never be.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Councillor Stephen Holyday has a motion to eliminate a $50,000-a-year program to give bottled water to homeless people.

Holyday demands drivers must save 20 extra seconds on their left turn! How dare we let the vehicle with dozens of people go first, I have somewhere to be and I'm more important!
graphicmatt.com Matt Elliott @graphicmatt.com · 24d
"No more left-hand turns, is that the message? When you travel, make right-hand-turn circles? Because that's what this implicates. It will stack up cars trying to make a left," Holyday wonders.

Chow says she heard those arguments when Spadina got its right-of-way in the 90s. Drivers will adapt.

Perruzza says there are some questions about the Finch West LRT technology. "Is the fact that you glued the tracks to the concrete — you don't bolt them or fasten them or weld them — is that going to have some longevity to it?"

But he says he's been on the old Finch West bus and the LRT is better.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Y'all are giving us whiplash with all these announcements this week! This is going to make a massive difference to transit riders in Scarborough and we are thrilled!

It's also a testament to what can be accomplished without provincial meddling. Metrolinx, take note.
