All of us white millennial meeces now have a front-row view of what it's like to see someone like us coldly murdered by an ill-qualified, plastic-wrapped, trumped-up cop-in-a-box.
Lots of other people have long experienced it, and I'm grateful to those folks for continuing to stand against it too.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

"Weed" (or wede) was a common word for a garment in Middle English and for a few centuries after.
It's from Old English wæd(e) "apparel, garment, clothing" and is related to "weave," but not weeds as in plants.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...
ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown
The Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.
