For everyone wondering why the victim only reported this NOW, there are many, many reasons, but the reality is that the victim almost certainly chose to do so at least a month ago, and the rest of the time was spent verifying the story and speaking to other people.
Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation.
We have to live into the world we want to create.
RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama.
In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself.
If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.
Solidarity with Dolores.
Solidarity with all survivors.
Solidarity with everyone who has felt that they have been forced to stay silent.
Solidarity with everyone feeling especially impacted by all of this news.
We can build a better world. We can.
It begins with telling every truth.
Jews are targeted in shuls & online.
Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.
Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.
Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.
Trans & queer people are being outlawed.
We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.
Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who
In: PRIMARY THAT FUCKER OR YOU'RE A SUCKER
My 14yo son's been running around calling everyone bucko
They're so ANGRY that we take care of each other, and not just angry.
So CONFUSED by it.
And that is why we will win
I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101
I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).
Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.
‘What Sort of Nation Terrorizes Children?’: A Teacher’s View From Minneapolis (Opinion): My students live with the knowledge that anyone they love could be taken by ICE at any moment.
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.
That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.
Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Going to a textbook open house is not for the weak 🥴
I got so overstimulated today, I took a nice long nap when I got home.
really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.
The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.
Never escaping the adage "men are afraid that women are laughing at them; women are afraid that men will kill them"
They really thought releasing that video would make her look bad. She was smiling at him, clearly not intending to harm him.
It makes me sadder than the other videos somehow, probably because we see and hear her.
Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.
THIS.
a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content
Clips like this underline that many of the regime’s boosters believe if you don’t subscribe fully to their ideology, you deserve to die.
Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.
Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.
The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
