🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

This AI slop showing polar bears and walruses, hides the reality of what the PEOPLE of Greenland are feeling:

"People are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days … For others this might be a piece of land, but for us it's home."

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

#Fairbanks #Alaska at -30F protests against ICE. We remember Renee Good and the many, many hurt and stolen.

Standing here loving cold, not murder, not abductions, and not vice.

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

Pics of Epstein's island, the dental chair stands out to me. Medical equipment we found in the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ranch near The Dalles, OR. Unnerving. Cult, murder, rape, etc. Bio-terrorism and political violence in America. FBI SA Hadley McCann was the Case Agent.

This would not have happened if Trump hadn't put them there.
These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody.

The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

As someone who has had a good number of accidents lately, I'm packing in red wine in my go bag.
This is so very French
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

This is exactly why California is putting out our own, science-backed vaccine recommendations through the West Coast Health Alliance.

We're not going to let the Trump Administration's recklessness put our residents in harm's way.
Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Now @gavinnewsom.bsky.social do Goebbels a tribute.
Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Trump, his family, associates and anyone else making $$$ off this must have their assets and accounts frozen so that it can be clawed back once their are found to have been illegally obtained. Or, when a civil suit is won against them, the money be given to the US Treasury.
Your reminders:

Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.

Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.

This is just another Trump family scam.
