Yesterday, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in cold blood.

This is an account from an anarchist in Minneapolis who participated in the protests that broke out immediately afterwards at the scene of her murder.

Abolish ICE. Fight back.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

@kristineschmidt.bsky.social mixed up my favorite Robert Evans @iwriteok.bsky.social with my number 2 Robert Evans, the cocaine trafficker who produced The Godfather. Sausage Robert Evans is a very distant 3rd place.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer

3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator.

Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic.

Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

The great David Thomas, also known here in Cleveland as Crocus Behemoth, has left us.

I've seen Ubu countless times. This is my favorite incarnation of the band, from the late 1980s, with the late JImmy Jones on guitar, Tony Maimonie on bass, and Allen Ravenstine making strange sounds on the synth.

Wild how Shadowrun today feels like an optimistic alternate future. Native Americans gain independence from the U.S. government? A benevolent dragon becomes the president and governs by suicide? People still communicate primarily through message boards? Sign me the fuck up.

Hello everyone! Not sure how active I’ll be on here but hoping that this can replace Twitter as a reliable source of live news that isn’t covered by other media.
