Today is the birthday of writer Bill Finger (Feb. 8, 1914-Jan. 18, 1974), who took Bob Kane’s initial idea & developed it into the Batman we know today. He also wrote the first appearance of the original Green Lantern, and cocreated Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, Lana Lang, Wildcat, Riddler, & more.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting

Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Bear in mind that this is a 70 year old unarmed man who owns a bookstore showing up at the site of the most recent murder by 🧊 in our city. Getting teargassed and shot at. Legend. But holy shit, there is no reason or rationale for any of this. 😡 www.huffpost.com/entry/minnes...

Minneapolis Man Curses Out Agents After Fatal Shooting: 'I'm F**king Angry!'

A 37-year-old man authorities believe was a U.S. citizen was shot multiple times Saturday morning by federal agents, killing him.

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

How many people need to be shot to death on the fucking street and in their own homes before there's any kind of unified action against this fascist terrorist group marauding our streets I hope every single dem that voted to give ice more funding has their political careers torched

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

I will be blocking anyone who says ICE murders could be avoided if people complied or stayed home. Fuck off. They're prepping for door to door violence The next step is murdering people IN THEIR HOMES. I'm not here to communicate with anyone who blames people for getting murdered.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The Timberwolves-Warriors game in Minneapolis has been postponed by the NBA, sources tell ESPN, in wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city. It's the second shooting there in a week, third this month, involving a federal officer.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."
