lol i kind of think this is an effective way to resist (even if that's not the intention). Sue me!

The memory of these stories should be a lesson for us all, that ‘never again’ means never again for everyone everywhere. People under violent occupation have every right to resist, including armed resistance - to exist in this world. You only have to have a heart to understand this.

📢 Join the nationwide shutdown this Friday, January 30th.  Do your part and help us SHUT IT DOWN for just one day this Friday to say enough is enough & that we want ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE‼️ Go to nationalshutdown.us to learn more and vote no to ICE funding.

I keep thinking about Robert Peel and the establishment of a British Police Force that mainly protected the middle class.

I've now received 3 separate fundraising texts from Vindman in under 2 hours from 3 separate numbers—so opting out is impossible. Unethical at best. His texts cite his refugee status and trauma under tyranny—yet he proudly supporting Netanyahu and denying genocide of Palestinians. Beyond the pale.

Alexander Vindman announces his run for Senate. I'm already getting texts asking for $$ While 86% of genocide scholars, ICC, ICJ, UN, Amnesty, Jewish scholar Omer Bertov, Israeli orgs like B'TSalem, & Lemkin Inst ALL confirm Israel IS committing genocide—Vindman remains a genocide denier No thanks

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live." That's a death threat. If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

in terms of violent confrontations, though, homan won’t be out on the streets stirring that up. he’ll be nestled safely in the whipple building. just as evil as bovino but a different energy.

International folks, you need to be calling your governments about Frozen Water having any kind of “security role” at the Winter Olympics in ANOTHER COUNTRY.

The plan treats Gaza as vacant beachfront property, proposing glass towers and industrial zones over historic sites.

Also, many gun stores are white supremacist hotbeds. Instead, lobby your state senators/reps for more gun control. Push for gun laws like Japan, the UK, etc.

CBP defines 'border' as 100 miles from a coast. Two-thirds of the US population live in the 'border zone.' And we literally have viral footage of them executing people. So keeping CBP 'at the border' and bodycams would mean much of the country can still be terrorized by CBP and executed on film

He’s going to join the DEMS and move them further right. You know that, right?

Blocking the construction of ICE detention centers is much easier than closing them once they're built! If you're in this county, follow the OP for some ways to support; if you're not, keep an ear out for proposed detention facilities in your zone

🇪🇬 Whether you're looking at the role it's expected to play in Gaza, key files like Sudan and the GERD, or the state of the economy, 2026 is shaping up to be an important year for Egypt. Tomorrow, I'll be moderating a @timep.bsky.social event unpacking these issues and others. Join us.

Good. Just remember your disabled neighbors too. Talk to them/leave a note in their mailbox/send them a text. Some of us are not in a greater “disabled community”. How do you warn a deaf person of “la migra”? We drive. Caption videos. Alt-text photos.

Things like this are going to make them unwelcome in these hotels, too. I hope all the patrons complain to the management.

part of why we are driving ICE absolutely mad is that we are using tactics that do not really permit them to legally arrest us. they cannot operate the way they want to operate when we have eyes on them. they want to be a secret police and we simply will not let them be secret

The EU has finalised its ban on Russian gas – but there's a huge risk of just replacing this gas with supplies from the US and elsewhere, continuing pollution and leaving Europe open to extortion It's time for an end to fossil fuels, and a move to 100% renewables and cutting energy waste

Israel, totally indifferent to international norms etc., now just wants to “hang” the few remaining native residents of the West Bank

NEWS: @nationalnurses.bsky.social “demands Congress abolish ICE entirely. We will be doing everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people.”

I will ask that folks keep food allergies in mind [yes this is amazing, no criticism] have something nut-free and gluten free and dairy free. Doesn’t have to be a lot of it. Can be three individual things.

I clicked on this video and immediately thought of the hundreds of videos from Gaza I’ve received with the sound of a drone overhead in the background. Our struggles are all the same.

I grew up in the 80s under a repressive government, and yes, but no, too. Criticism of the regime was always quiet/whispered. Here, we are still yelling and marching out. That’s important.

That we know of.

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti. The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere. www.blautogroup.com/locations/in...

The fundamental tenet of Robert Peel, who founded the first municipal police force in London, is that the police are the people and the people are the police. Once this connection is destroyed, you are simply an occupying force. This is why ICE should be withdrawn from Minneapolis, today.

The news we need in these troubled times

We are all connected.

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

Target is HQ’d in MN & lost 35% of its value after it capitulated to Trump & gutted DEI—a $16B loss. Now, as ICE murders Good & Pretti, as ICE arrests 2 Target employees (who were citizens)—Target does NOTHING to stop ICE. Let’s continue our Target boycott & gut the remaining 65% value. Who’s in?

Go look up what happened in Egypt on Jan 25th, 15 years ago. I’ll wait.

Folks, collect the tear gas canisters, find out the manufacturers…. And make them known. We fight back with boycotts, with general strikes, with community. We are one of the few countries in the world that makes and uses banned tear gas.

Yes. And it has been reinforced by the Catholic Church (particularly under Benedict, but also under Francis)

Credit where it’s due, they’re finally pushing back. Every blue state should be paying attention to this and making their own plans for how to keep these fascist fucks from murdering us.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Expecting moms are skipping prenatal care and considering unsafe home births because they're terrified of ICE.

Having a meltdown/lack of cope. I can’t do this anymore. I’ve been in pain for more than a week, there’s no end to the damn chemo, and i don’t have the spoons for anything fun.

White people were very active in abolitionist efforts and supported underground railroads. They had to, they’re the majority and had the protection and ability to move more freely. White ppl also were incredibly active in the civil rights movement and freedom rides.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

This was after mind you Tom Homan had come up with the brilliant idea of separating families as an enforcement strategy.

We need better fictional tv. Instead of My Family and Other Animals, why not a semi-fictional show about Durrell as an adult, setting up his own zoo for preserving species? So many of his books had important environmental messages, including erosion caused by sheep/rabbits/cats.

You know what will help you get through the present moment? That's right, more livestock. But if you can't have livestock, you need this kitten.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
