Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

The aggressions tend to concentrate during shift changes, though there’s few protestors on the ground and most aren’t intending to engage - ICE simply decides they need to be further away than off the property line, and instead of waiting for people to move, they just mace them.

As attention around Delaney Hall fades, aggression by feds & Geo Group kicks up: Last night, Geo Group drove thru area where demonstrators were, running over a mini pool. ICE also shot pepper bullets, doused people in mace. Today, ICE violently arrested 1, again shot pepper, sprayed.

just to make this clear, trans people are being killed in increasing numbers, women, men, nonbinary or gender nonconforming, in the United States. this is happening and cis people seemingly don’t even realize (presuming they are open to caring, which many are fairly skeptical of that possibility).

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Replying to
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was.
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away.
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.

I am proud to receive the support of @ifnotnowmovement.org, which has been a clear, bold advocate for peace in Israel and Palestine. (1/3)

IfNotNow endorses Brad Lander for Congress

Morriah Kaplan, INN Movement’s Executive Director, issued the following statement: “Brad is one of our own. He’s been an IfNotNow member for years and has been a key partner in our movement’s work to transform the U.S. Jewish community. Whether standing up to ICE, teaming up with Zohran to win a NYC for all, or calling for a ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza—Brad is a true mensch in every sense of the word. And it’s fitting that Brad is taking on AIPAC-backed, pro-war Dan Goldman. Goldman wants to continue the endless flow of U.S. weapons to Israel. His vision for Jewish safety relies on bombs, walls and repression. Brad understands that the only true path to safety for our people—and all people—is shared safety. That means strengthening our democracy, blocking U.S. weapons to Israel, and fighting for a future of freedom and dignity for Palestinians, Israelis, our neighbors, and ourselves. We can’t wait to fight for that vision alongside Brad in Congress.”
