Repeating my sotto voce refrain that I think we are very soon going to have to deal with the plain (but seldom spoken) fact that police are simply not under the control of the political leadership who command them on paper.

Abolish ICE.

On Thursday October 8th, ICE shot a man in New York with his 5 year old next to him.

His child screamed, "Papa, don't die", while reaching for their father lying on the ground.

We cannot ever let this be normal.

Abolish ICE now.

there is still a lot of chaos in what has and hasn't been reported out, but i was on the scene and personally saw the NYPD clearing the roads outside the hospital and ICE agents in the vicinity, as well as NYPD getting violent with protesters and Darializa Avila Chevalier

The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has a record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the same gun he had on him today W/@dmehro.bsky.social @regret.bsky.social

THIS IS A PRINTING OFFICE
Like all technology: human choice, if evil or good
This place is not a place of honor but it could be a place of hope
Refuge of arts, craft, community, learning

The center of danger is here; the center of hope is here
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours (the possibility, too) From this place you may send words of justice, liberation, reparation, collective care: or serving capital, stoking hate
A press is but its printers

You make sacred—or not
