A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen NYC look like this. Maybe even decades since I couldn’t even see the street.

I know it’s controversial but I will always side with “why should we change the idealistic symbols, they’re the ones who suck.”
Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

Friendly reminder that the “liberal” news media is complicit and when the chickens come home to roost, they need to be held accountable as well.
Okay, seriously.
What the fuck are we doing here? @theguardian.com? @apnews.com? Anyone?
There were about three different videos from three different cameras out as soon as it happened.
Please don’t tell me you’re trying to do the fair and balanced bullshit with clear public executions by thugs.

Letter from parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti:
Sundance looking like a real party this year. Now, if CAA needs talent to rep for PR, and quick, I may have a lead…
Man Arrested During CAA’s Sundance Party Following Racially-Charged Incident
The man allegedly stated how proud he was to be “white” during a tense moment in a restroom that spilled out into the restaurant as he exited and allegedly punched a person of color.

For anyone new to my feed, don’t be alarmed if my rhetoric gets a bit spicy. I come from a long line of radicals who thought it was pretty rad to shoot oppressive rulers. Me just settling on being coy is an embarrassment to their legacy, really.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨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.

If I may gently recommend, you should make sure to eat and drink and still be prepared for the snow storm coming. Scrolling will only go so far to keep you informed, and continuous scrolling can only make you less healthy. You stay healthy so you can keep fighting.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

In loving memory of Alex Pretti, no longer a stranger, but my brother. Murdered by our federal government in the fight against fascism. Remember him.
I’m not very good at making graphics, but I needed to do something for his spirit.

Thousands of Minnesotans marched in downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. The wind chill was 30 below during the march.
Hundreds of businesses closed their doors Friday in support of the protest as activists urged Minnesotans to abstain from economic activity.

Loving this. Especially the part about breaking prior records, yes I have some hidden hater energy towards a couple of those films.
