Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.
When they teach about this shameful time in America’s history, this picture will be front and center.
This is Liam Ramos. He’s a 5-year-old boy in Minnesota who was arrested by ICE and then used as bait to lure his family members into custody—even though they are legal asylum seekers. Liam and his family members have been shipped to an ICE detention center 1200 miles away from their home.
His preschool teacher, Ella Sullivan, had this to say about Liam: “He’s a bright young student, and he’s so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him, and all I want is for him to be safe and back here.”
🚨🚨🚨 ICE just shot another person in MINNESOTA in broad daylight!! The man was on the ground and they were beating him — and then they FUCKING SHOT HIM!!!
Get these ICE murdering terrorists off our streets NOW!!!
So Rahmanullah Lakanwal was living in an above-average apartment in Bellingham, Washington ($2k/month rent), supporting a family of a wife and five kids while working as a delivery driver making $25 bucks an hour. Even with refugee subsidies there's no way he could afford that. Who was funding him?

Absolutely shocking scenes from Spanish airline

This antisemitism is not happening in a vacuum. It is fueled by the lies of the media. We are in dangerous territory now.
Also, this meme happened to me today. I was in a queue and the young bloke serving me peered at the Cramps pin badge on my coat and went "Oh, The Cramps? My Grandad used to love those!". Then followed that up with "Yeah, he had something of theirs played at his funeral"
Do not share this. Most will have seen it but a few may not yet have done. It is important that they do not, so whatever you do, do NOT share.
There. I have done my part.
