For people who have never seen the way ICE and cops more generally behave at memorials for those they kill, this guy is a great representative of what they do.
Whether it's cops shooting up the grave of Fred Hampton or just destroying candles and chalk, they take your mourning as an insult.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.
This is not new but it is expanding.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

It took me seven years of painful career climbing and credit building to be able to afford to move just from a red state to a blue state.
It’s cute when non-Americans think we can just leave the country and move somewhere else to escape all this, as if their governments haven’t also made their immigration processes just as cruel and slow.

ICE shot a legal observer in the face in Minneapolis. Abolish ICE and prosecute every single one of their deputized terrorists.

Trying to shake myself out of this funk I've landed in the last couple of days. My old bones just want my soft bed though.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Sad to hear that James Ransone lost his battle. He was a great actor and seemed genuinely kind when I met him at a convention.
He talked openly about fighting his demons in the past and its unfortunate. My condolences to his family and friends who truly knew him.

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH
