Wanna make sure people saw this one. The latest ICE child trafficker who got arrested—yes there have been more than one, just in this specific Minnesota suburb!—his job was to do background checks on all other ICE agents hoping to get hired
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.

He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Every time this comes up I wonder if we're ever going to shift the conversation to why women are avoiding them.
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.

Superbowl ads for the last 5 years have been capital displaying total cultural victory by publicly humiliating celebrities.

All of your childhood heroes work for Uber Eats now. There is no mass culture unless Liberty Mutual says there is.

Which part of this sequence can be reformed
🚨"They're stealing the car!"

As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolis—in front of an elementary school—then chased him. After failing to catch him—they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.

Promo feels ick right now but it’s also worth reminding folks to support their indie bookstores (especially the ones taking a stand against The Horrors). This deal is available at Bookshop.org for a limited time. #booksky

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

This is my moderate position
Abolishing ICE isn’t enough. Everyone responsible: Stephen Miller, Noem, Bovino, Lewandowski and more also need to be thrown in prison for murder, assault, kidnapping, trafficking children, etc.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

ICE just executed another person in the street in Minneapolis. They already had him subdued and beaten.

No need to seek out the video. It’s bad.

Watching closely to see if any of our leaders here do anything but express dismay. And that does not include siccing “our” police on protesters!

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.
