I'm not telling people not to go to the politely, civilly scheduled demonstrations because civic engagement is good, but like... please do not let that be all you do with the fury and heartbreak and terror and outrage you have.
That's a lot of energy to use on something that ends after a day.

ICE agents can’t take the ice!
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

it's funny too because the biggest demographics discord seems to serve is gamers and queer people. both groups have more reasons to hate that sort of tech than almost anyone.

The right (and I mean this almost across the board, globally) constantly demonstrates how you need to understand the psychology of abusers in order to understand who they are. Nothing enrages them more than believing that they are being mocked. They WILL kill you for it.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.
