Anyway ICE was filmed desecrating Renee Nicole Good’s memorial & doing violence to people who found that distasteful. Might be too soon to say if this falls into some kind of pattern of behavior if you’re the stupidest motherfucker on earth.
It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me. These are the same people that I’m supposed to call to coordinate security or to do support when I have a town hall.”

One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"

you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

don’t you think it’s odd how the news cycle of the NYT always seem to swivel away from what is actually happening to focus on attacking trans people & saying Jeffrey Epstein doesn’t matter?

To me if you elect to be a police you have forfeit the ability to use fearing for your life as justification for your actions.

Putting your life on the line is a bare minimum job requirement.

OMG yes
My family tree is missing limbs because of the Holocaust, as though it were struck by lightning.
The way that people talk about the Holocaust like it’s some kind of thought experiment and not a very real event that still traumatizes its survivors and descendants of its survivors to this day is…not something I can muster words for.

1. Good news for trans people in Vermont.

A bill was just filed that would fund private trans youth care clinics across the state.

It would be a major shield from Trump funding threats which have caused hospitals to shut their doors.

But it has to pass first.

The bill would establish the Affirming Health Care Trust Fund, administered by the State Treasurer, to support clinics and providers outside the reach of federal funding threats.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly:
ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

It’s cute when non-Americans think we can just leave the country and move somewhere else to escape all this, as if their governments haven’t also made their immigration processes just as cruel and slow.

Minnesota is being terrorized by ICE. They are abducting people in 2 minutes or less from bus stops, cars, work. This is not enough time to check if someone is here legally. They are abducting and disappearing based purely on race. It was never about going after criminals, it's just terror.

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.

It's probably not your fault—too much news.

But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up.

On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

Anyone who

2) said it was “too early to worry” about who’s running
3) believes, like Gavin suggests, that the Democrats lost the election for being “too woke”
