My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within.

It will then be illegal for them to murder and brutalize whomever they please, unlike now.

So … if in the future ICE is abolished, what is the plan to deal with ~20,000 people with weapons training who have been marinated in white supremacism and inculcated with the idea that it is okay to hurt or kill people you don’t like?

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
A Deadly Shooting in Minnesota
A federal immigration agent’s killing of a woman driving an SUV fits into a tragic pattern.

I was just gonna say it’s pretty cool all the good work Ben and I and others all did back then doesn’t exist anymore on the site. How much money would that have cost Hearst?
Seriously, read this:
"'Waiting for the facts' means waiting to develop a cover story. It means waiting for story to blow over. It means waiting until 'But that was seven months ago! Get over it!' becomes a legitimate excuse."

The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.
NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

Whether it's the cops or ICE or the Trump administration or supporters of Israel's genocide, they all have one thing in common. They just cannot stop crying.

Don't you drive a little tensely and perhaps poorly when there's just a normal cop standing there as you drive by. Gets you a little tense. Imagine a bunch of them with guns pointed at you. You would of course not be composed. Not that it appears this woman did anything crazy or reckless mind you.
There is a group of people that are supposed to be composed in high stress situations, train for them in fact, get paid well for it, and are given very, very broad leeway on how they act, and yet they shit their pants constantly and cry about how scared they are all the time.
It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

its reprehensible. its blatantly illegal, reckless to the point of outright depravity, for the government to reflexively defend every outrage committed by its personnel prior to gathering the facts. to spit in the faces of its citizens and blame the people it mows down in the streets. fucked

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
