You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

The design of this bumper sticker, which you can see all over the bay area, hasn't changed in over 30 years, because unfortunately it has never not been relevant.

Was 2025 a rough one for you? If so, Peter Hughes just dropped a new song for this New Years Eve. And it's open enough that you'll be able to use it for every weary, beaten-down New Years Eve to come. Bring on the next one... peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/happy-...
