Gaps in background checks and the Charleston loophole put lives at risk. shorturl.at/VXCF1

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Gun suicide claims the lives of ~26,000 people in USA every year, but there is hope. One of the most effective interventions for someone in crisis is disrupting their access to a gun.

Different century, same injustice.
In the 1800s, Irish immigrants were profiled as criminals, diseased, & “morally deficient.” Leading to Irish neighborhoods being over-policed.
Now the Supreme Court says ICE can stop people based on race, language, or job.
