On a rainy Saturday, protestors marched to 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has been disappearing New Yorkers trying to attend routine immigration check-ins. A speaker called for people to get organized: “from LA to Gaza, we must resist this fascism.” @WOLPalestine protest 6/14/25

THREAD. One of the great propaganda myths of our society is that police spend their time dealing with "violent crime." ICE is no different. "Violence" is a pretext to sell it. Did you know that only 4% of all police time in the U.S. is devoted to "violent crime"?
New data shows that over 86% of ICE arrests didn’t involve anyone accused or convicted of a violent crime. cc: @CBSNews

A young man at our town hall asked if I was pushing class warfare. I told him: “We already have class warfare in this country — billionaires are waging war on the rest of us.”

always bears repeating that this is NOT ultimately a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Still, per sources, Trump officials urge staff to call him a "terrorist." https://t.co/SE63K2tvFl

37 year old Alex Pretti was a registered nurse that worked at the VA. he was killed trying to protect minnesotans. we are letting the worst americans kill the best americans.
Stephen Miller just called Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist" who wanted to "massacre law enforcement." Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old American. Legal gun owner. Permit to carry. No criminal record.He's dead. He can't speak. So they're writing the story for him.T his is what it

Police Chief Brian O'Hara says they believe the victim was a "lawful gun owner" with no law enforcement record outside of traffic tickets. Says federal agents did not provide them with a "public safety statement" regarding the shooting.

If this is the man they just killed, he was only filming them and was not the subject of a targeted operation, nor was he trying to “massacre” agents, as DHS absurdly claimed.
🚨BREAKING: NEW Video shows moments before ICE/Border Patrol agents executed the man in Minneapolis, as he lay motionless on the ground. In the video, a 51 year old the man was filming agents when they come over and push him, with only his phone in his hand. No gun, no threat.

Renee Nicole Good had an irregular pulse when EMS got to her. She was still alive. There was a doctor on scene who wanted to render aid. ICE refused. Told him they “didn’t care” that he was a physician. Timely CPR saves lives. This was all so unnecessary.
Newly released records: Renee Good was found in her vehicle with two gunshot wounds to her chest and another to her forearm. Responders found Good unresponsive inside her SUV. After they removed her from the vehicle, she was not breathing and had an irregular pulse. She also

Anyway I don't expect to change anyone's mind. I just want to be on record somewhere saying that killing this woman — and then claiming to be the real victim, with the militarized might of the federal government behind you — is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen.

Israeli soldiers harass a little Palestinian girl and take her bicycle. If soldiers were bullying a child like this in any other country, half of Washington would be calling for military intervention to stop it. But when Israel does it, the US funds it.

massive amounts of angry people yelling at billie eilish for being rich while calling out billionaires, are oblivious to the wealth a billion holds, and are more invested in yelling at someone more in reach. the “appearance” of hypocrisy online is worse than actual harm
