Cuatro Hermanos Mexicanos trying to navigate the calamity of the world, one song at a time. #AVANTIST http://theavantist.bandcamp.com
There it is:
"...nearly 30 percent of ICE agents and approximately 50 percent of Border Patrol agents in the United States are Latino."

"One Latino agent, Claudio “CJ” Juarez, explained his decision bluntly: he was “literally starving.”

Interesting article about the economic conditions driving people to ICE.
COMMENTARY: The making of an ICE agent • The TRiiBE
How economic desperation creates the conditions for ICE recruitment.

"Can trumpths thungs be rayned inn? 😞🤔🤔"

If we had a real government that opposed one another in regards to ANYTHING then maybe this question should be asked. Until then, every single aspect of how this will go down is theater.
As the Minneapolis killing gets darker for Trump, Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman talk about their plan to check ICE—and about Trumpworld’s broader plunge into violence and lawlessness.

conservatives are more angry about the coverage of the murder than the murder itself because JD and all these nazis think killing people who oppose them is good and they want to do it more without the pushback

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

It has occurred to me that people are finally mad because a white citizen was killed even though they didn't give a shit when it was immigrants dying unless to use us as props in arguments against ICE

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Feels like when the Pope and the paper of record for your faith repeatedly tell you you’re full of shit you might be full of shit
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good
After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

The line to attend this public safety and accountability commission meeting in Chicago stretches around the block from the venue, Thalia Hall in the city's Pilsen neighborhood.

It's raining hard and people in line are being urged to attend the meeting on zoom from local bars/restaurants.

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

Definitely a real musician's movie
Regarding Reiner, I have known a lot of musicians and been in bands myself. I can’t overstate the importance of This Is Spinal Tap in adjusting the self-importance of musicians. Everyone knows the movie, everyone has identified Spinal Tap moments, everyone is humbler and funnier as a result.

Orgs like Enlace in Little Village are back to warning residents not to go outside. Shelter in place when border patrol and Bovino are back in town & in the southwest side.

It feels extra cruel and intentional for CBP and Bovino to come back to Chicago, especially hard hit immigrant nhoods, one week before Christmas. These are strategies to abduct people but also about psychological terror meant to keep vulnerable community members afraid.

Some days I don't know why I'm still alive, what the point of waking up even is. But I do have one thing to stay alive for:

I need to be here for the day Donald Trump dies and goes to Hell.

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin
