Ugh, all these liberal mayors telling us they are *working with the police* to resist ICE when we all know the police and ICE are on the same side, stop it with this hideous nonsense.

Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common:

Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

The idea that this has anything to do with "law enforcement" is an obscene lie.

We have met the domestic terrorists and they are ICE.

There's a lot of Americans on the FB expat forums who seem to think that Paris is a hotbed of danger! dangeous neighborhoods!
JFC the US fear-of-cities nonsense is so tiresome.

If we are to survive this, I’m gone need White liberals & progressives to understand some things:

1) YES, this IS us & has been.

2) Listen to progressive Black folks when we warn y’all.

3) Stop giving White men in law enforcement the benefit of the doubt—Or as I call them, SLAVE PATROLLERS.

I have no idea why this 15lbs I haven't been able to shift for the past 5 or 6 years has suddenly decided to fall off my body, but I'm really glad I didn't throw out ALL the cool home made dresses that were lurking in the back of my closet. Kind of fun being able to wear things I like again.

it’s really wild the speed at which the execs went full mask off

as someone in the workforce the rank and file aren’t all that different from the group that was staging walkouts in 2020, but the message from above has been very clear: sit down and shut up or you’re out, we’re done listening
Having worked in tech for my entire life, the last 10 years have shocked me. A big chunk of the industry has been captured by power mad fascist billionaires bent on reshaping the world order.

“make big tech afraid” has to be just as much of a priority as “prosecute the criminals of the previous regime” for the next Dem admin

the tech fascists are way too far out over their skis and what remains of global stability will not survive that state of affairs continuing
As many have pointed out, there's no reason for big tech to change its behavior because they correctly understand that they have nothing to fear from Democrats taking power

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.
