I donβt think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I donβt think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
Exactly this. As someone who has held a camera and filmed ICE during terrifying moments: agent body cams are not a replacement. They can get turned off/never get turned on (like cops do all the time), footage might not get released or might be withheld until the incident is cold in the public memory
Body cams are definitely going to fix this.

Killing comes amid record Israeli violence and settlement expansion across the occupied West Bank.

The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.

The technocratic body will operate under the direction of Trump's 'board of peace', stacked with pro-Israel figures.
I am obviously being a dick about this, itβs awful tinpot dictator shit.
But goddamnit, a little solidarity with your own brutalized, kidnapped, murdered people would have made me feel a tad more sympathetic.

National Unity Platform says opposition presidential candidate seized from his home a day after tense election.
SHOUT THIS FROM EVERY ROOFTOP.
This is just policing, period. More overt in some ways. Most cops at least prefer to do state violence where they aren't going to be easily seen. But no real difference. Same rotten roots of the same rotten tree with rotten apples galore. There is no fixing this.
We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
Law enforcement in the U,S. kill more than 1,100 people in a typical year. This level of bloodshed goes unnoted even when police killings are deemed newsworthy and attract public attention. Police impunity is accepted and normalized by millions of people.

Not a damn one of them understands what they sound like to normal people and I for one want them to continue
I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.
Can verify based on friends I've talked to. A friend who is a *Canadian* immigrant carries his passport and is asking neighbors in his building to not let in anyone they don't recognize.
Other people report residential neighborhoods that are empty of parked cars; everyone who can get out, has.
THIS.
Please talk to a lawyer if you're doing activisms that might require talking to a lawyer.
and sure, absolutely check their political alignment too, but we're basically the only profession who can't be compelled to rat you out.
