Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
A New York Times video analysis of an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis contradicts the Trump administration’s account. Watch our investigation here.
Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.
Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda
EMERGENCY VIGIL IN RESPONSE TO ICE SHOOTING ICE shot and killed an observer today in Minneapolis. Say her name! We witnessed an atrocious attack on our community today. Community members were taken from us and an observer was shot dead. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA NOW! E 34th St and Portland Ave S. Minneapolis, MN 55407 Today, Jan 7 5:00 PM
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

I will repost this forever.
Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.
Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

"If anyone tells you that after you cast your vote, you have done your job, tell them it is just the beginning."
I HATE when people compare AI to the printing press, it's so disingenuous. The printing press was opposed by the elites because it put power in the hands of everyday people, and popularized a vernacular. AI does the opposite, by allowing elites to bypass artists and laborers.
Well said.
Heads up #NASA employees: #happystartrekday Just remember:
Now let’s chat about the “informant” and her ill-thought-out plan. Tori Branum, a Republican running in Georgia’s 12th, bragged about pushing the ICE raid on Hyundai’s construction site.
It was a political stunt. But she didn’t think it through…
6.
The raid stalled a battery plant that would have employed Georgians in good-paying jobs. She screwed her own voters.
Most of the S Korean workers weren’t “taking jobs.” They were specialists brought in to get the plant operational. Their expertise was the bridge to thousands of American jobs.

as a stepmom, the first moment i ever understood that love for your kid is truly different than anything else was when i was speaking at a conference in chicago and someone said “did you see that school shooting in San Antonio?”
and the whole world felt was a blackhole until i knew my kid was safe
Minnesota is heartbroken.
From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together.
Hug your kids close.
Minneapolis is beautiful.
The people of this city are remarkable.
Today is excruciating.
Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."
Target caved to Trump, sold out their core customers, and torched their own brand.
They chose this path, and now they’re paying for it. I’m still not shopping there.

We still have not found a remedy to this problem 150 years later.
