This El Niño has a unique flavor — sea surface temperatures are most anomalously warm in the far eastern equatorial Pacific. That shifts the location of tropical thunderstorms, which influences the jet stream over the U.S. The most recent east Pacific-based El Niño "smacked" California. My latest:

every picture of Lorenzo makes it so obvious he’s someone’s father, if that makes sense? like every picture I feel like my friend is showing me their dad who is proud of his new hat, or his birthday cake, and that’s not a necessary predicate to viewing his murder as tragedy, obviously, but dear god
ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.

nothing to see here, just right wing streamers being protected by feds moments after those feds were shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters.
Protestors finally caught on to Cam Higby openly boasting about getting them doxxed & hit with federal charges. Supposedly stole his phone, busted his mics. Crowd pressed him *& his armed security* off the block. He & fellow propagandist Nick Sortor were taken behind DHS lines. via Mercado Media

one of the videos from the occupation that i find most haunting is the one from the woman in west stp who had a doordasher run into her home & refused to give her up. specifically, when an ICE thug says "you don't even know her" in tones of baffled indignation. they straight up do not get it.

Rev Black (the priest ICE shot in the head) also pitched turning these camps into community spaces or multilingual schools and childcare facilities. One day we will not only reverse every hate-filled policy of our country, but we will turn the sites of their evil into monuments to community.
This is a legitimately great idea. Turn every ICE concentration camp into a museum of their crimes and the people who fought against them.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Just how bad things can be, and how much worse they can get, has never been lost on me. It's why I have so little patience for "it can't get any worse, this country is the devil" type of reasoning. If you think this is as bad as it gets, you haven't explored widely enough.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
