KPBS has reporting on the ICE raids at a restaurant in San Diego: www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

This is a nice restaurant in an affluent white neighborhood. They threw flash bangs at the crowd, handcuffed the manager, didn’t even find anyone they were looking for, but still took two people because they didn’t have ID.

The rotten sons of bitches just raided Buona Forchetta in San Diego.

In a raid in South Park today ICE appear to have thrown flash bangs at a crowd of people outside Kindred. www.reddit.com/r/sandiego/s...

Mesa, Arizona was the first city outside of Buffalo, New York to win a union Starbucks. Today, they're proving that the organizing isn't just stopping - it's in full force! CONGRATULATIONS to partners in Mesa... the Val Vista & Southern store just voted YES to their union!

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

I feel like the “no map” criticism of 33 is a bit unwarranted, I mean lots of PS1/2-era classics had world maps but not city/dungeon maps non?

1/3 This is the best of America: people showing up, speaking out, and refusing to be silent while ICE abducts families outside courthouses. Moms and kids, obeying the law—dragged into vans by agents lurking outside legal proceedings. This isn’t enforcement. It’s terror in broad daylight in Phoenix.

This is what real death panels look like

And like clockwork, the DOJ is closing its investigation into the Phoenix Police Department, who was accused of unlawfully detaining and regularly using excessive force, particularly towards unhoused people, POC, people with disabilities and political protesters. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-de...

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

There's a reason why they're piecing together this one big bullshit bill in the dead of night and barely publicizing what exactly is in it. They're scared. Of what YOU, their constituents, are gonna do if they pass this bill. Keep up the pressure. We only need to peel off a few votes. 👉 5calls.org

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
