His Mother could barely stand tonight at his vigil. He was a girl dad. He was a friend to many. He was a Black Man and an American citizen. ICE killed him on New Year’s Eve in LA. His name was Keith Porter 🕊️

What happened to Renee Nicole Good wasn’t the first time ICE has shot a citizen A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body

For the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either.

If you’re outraged over Charlie Kirk’s shooting but can shrug off ICE shooting a woman in the face while she was trying to flee, you’re not principled, you’re in a cult. You’re a hypocrite. Watching that video shook me to my soul.

@stinky_boots What a mood. Me back at work after the holiday

me when the horrors persist but so must I

my church is holding an ICE watch training this week. i tried to sign up hours after i found out. it was full. north carolina is not happy.

@SiembraNC ICE spotted on Alison Ave and and Liberty st in Durham! (From my Ring neighbors posts) How do we report this? ojo.nc seems to be down!

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children. Our taxpayer dollars are being used to violate our rights, terrorize our communities, and traumatize children. It is time to defund ICE.

“They were careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The Washington Post paywalled this so you wouldn't get to read it

The reason you never see ICE arresting the Proud Boys is the same reason you never see Miley Cyrus hanging out with Hannah Montana

To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair" The distinction matters here.

So right-wing podcasters have free speech. But left-wing comedians who quote the right-wing podcasters do not. Got it.

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

Notice how so many young white men become mass shooters but no one stereotypes their entire race as violent.

3 months ago, today, Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered by a Trump supporter. They had kids, too.

Fact.

Not Black. Not Trans. Not Muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat. Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A white Christian, Conservative, Republican male with a gun... again.
