“Dems Are Set to Give ICE More Money. Here’s What They Could Do Instead”

I found this picture today of Julie Turcol and former Clackamas County Sheriff Deputy and former Sheriff candidate, Lynn Schoenfeld. Julie's good buddies with a bunch of Proud Boys.

If the strike called for January 23 in protest against ICE is to succeed, ordinary people—most of whom are not unionized—will have to walk out and take it upon themselves to disrupt business as usual. No union leadership or organization can do this for us. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🏴

Molalla River School Board Vice Chair Linda Eskridge loves ICE and hopes they stick around and arrest every undocumented immigrant (she said "illegal alien"). Linda is calling for OR Senator Kayse Jama to be deported, calls him a POS and claims he was fraudulently elected. #Molalla

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.) (Video from @AmirMiresmaeili on Twitter)

He was in NO IMMINENT DANGER ICE AGENTS ARE ROGUE, INCOMPETENT, and UNQUALIFIED HE DIDN'T NEED TO SHOOT HER This is HORRIFIC AND HEARTBREAKING ICE MUST BE STOPPED

Y'all this one was fun. I love when the subject is actually more radical than I expected, not less.

Jackie Merlos, a Portland resident who has been detained by immigration authorities for nearly four months, might be closer to getting home to her four U.S.-born children, a family friend said Tuesday.

Two crucial points: 1) Madagascar’s President fled the country after an elite military unit joined the uprising. 2) 2nd government overthrown by Gen Z in the last month.

This is real. Chicago today.

This is stellar work

A strange magical belief system

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov

Some of the PDX gestapo. Know their names.

Your silence will not save you.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

This video from @hankgreen.bsky.social is a great metaphor and description of what I think has happened to the Internet, and our overall "consumption" of information, no matter how nutritious or empty the calories of information we consume are. youtu.be/9euKCrTyMEc?...

Walmart Employee Fired After Getting Detained While Trying to 'Stick Up' for Coworker Confronted by ICE

My politics is whatever this is

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

Amid a new wave of resistance to ICE—and to the police, which fight alongside of ICE everywhere, including in supposed "sanctuary cities"—it's worth revisiting the history of the movement against police and white supremacy, which reached its previous peak in 2020. crimethinc.com/antipolice2025

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

People want new leadership, not the status quo entrenched in the longstanding complacency of the Democratic party. I hope capable people see Kat's momentum nationwide & consider running for office.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Shameful this happened in the US. Grateful the judge's ruling. Let's hope Mahmoud comes home and can meet his child.

A Portland public defender happened to be at the right place just in time to record a video of a Colombian immigrant being detained by ICE in downtown Portland. The man's immigration attorney said he has no criminal history. My story: www.oregonlive.com/pacific-nort...
