WHAT A DEBUT 🤩

Roma’s 16-year-old Australian midfielder Antonio Arena scored with his first touch as a professional footballer, after coming on as a substitute just a minute prior 😮

He doesn’t even have a photo up on Fotmob yet 😂

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit.

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

They certainly choose to.
Not sure about “have to”.
one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Transmasculine individual K Jones was permanently blinded in their left eye after a DHS agent shot them in the face with a "non-lethal" round much like these grenades, scattering shrapnel throughout their face and neck and nearly severing their carotid. Agents mocked them and dragged them away.

Trump in late 2020 executed a preexisting plan, in the event he lost, to use lies about election fraud to try to stay in office. He wasn't misled by advisors. He was lying. Recent revisionism by his backers doesn't change that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already.

As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago.

We are in freefall.

Incrementalism doesn’t work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We can’t chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now.

Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.

One of the Democratic Party’s functions is to discipline and limit political possibility
One of the great weapons of liberalism is the limiting of imagination, they cant stand anyone imagining someone more progressive or egalitarian than them. They must be the pinnacle of civilized thought & to this end they will destroy the left wherever they can.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

In April 2015, CNN got internal mission statements through FOIA in which the National guard was instructed to “treat the Ferguson protesters as enemy forces.”

They have *always* seen this as a war against those who pose a threat to their power and legitimacy. (Source: Mark Neocleous)

Black and Latino organizers in L.A. demand justice for Keith Porter–the Black man shot by an off-duty ICE officer on New Year's Eve
Black and Latino community organizers in Los Angeles are calling for justice following the New Year’s Eve killing of 43-year-old Keith Porter in the Northridge neighborhood. Porter was celebrating the holiday when he was approached by an unidentified man armed with a gun, prompting renewed demands from local organizers for accountability, transparency, and systemic change. Advocates say the case reflects broader concerns about violence, public safety, and the unequal impact on Black and Latino communities across LA, and they are urging authorities to take swift and meaningful action.
