Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

For Liam.

100000% was recently at a training about their signs & symbols and the overwhelming consensus in the room is their shit is ugly af and our rainbow unicorns will beat them every time Speaking of folks in Detroit please support Posters to Melt Ice to benefit the People’s Assembly/Asemblea Popular

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

made this list today to read at the march

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

apparently Elissa Slotkin’s voicemail is full so it just hangs up on you which feels too perfect as a metaphor (anyway off to write more angry emails I guess)

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Important to note that bearing witness is something people have done since long before video existed. We bear witness by listening, but sharing the stories, by refusing to let them be distorted or ignored. We do not have to watch execution videos to do that.

if you’re feeling inspired by the photos from minneapolis,drop a note of appreciation at www.standwithminnesota.com/send-a-love-... !

“They will tell you they are keeping America safe, but they are ripping families apart.”

resistance to fascism, brought to you by the concept of potatoes

might I recommend Sayaka Murata's "Life Ceremony"

read this thread if you want to feel something good amongst the terror

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

so grateful to @socialistdogmom.bsky.social for this been thinking of Viola a lot after Renee Good was killed. Molly weaved their stories (and the stories of many other martyrs for freedom) into a narrative of deep grief, but also profound hope & inspiration to fight. I believe that we will win.

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

the best encryption in the world can be broken in an instant by a snitch! technology can’t save you from the simple fact that the easiest & most common way cops find out what was said in private is not hacking or warrants or subpoenas, it’s somebody straight up telling them!!

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

This Senegalese teenager from Detroit needs to raise $10,000 by Friday in order to make bond from the horrors of ICE detention. He is almost there at $6,255. Please share! www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

what if...and I'm just spitballing here...they taxed the ilitches and gilberts and marouns and their companies and the real estate speculators and like...idk...the rich??? instead of making groceries more expensive for some of the poorest people in the state when things are already unaffordable???

“Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death,” an AO3 fic in which Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who runs the lottery in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, is astounding. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

Here is the fundraiser for Renee Good’s wife and son, from a very trusted source.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

it's girl scout cookie time!!!!!

Anybody in the Detroit area please keep an eye out for Linda, she has been missing for several days with her dogs. 🖤

Happy thanksgiving. Boat stuck.

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

"The ultimate, hidden truth of the world, is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently." —David Graeber Art by Kate DeCiccio (Imagination Card - www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...)

something that really bothers me about this sort of stuff is this framing that a person’s political ideology is an immutable characteristic. like, bud, you aren’t a conservative man because it’s an inborn trait! you could learn and grow and change—and not need to lie for women to interact with you!!

An ICE watch zine (Chicago edition) being handed out today.

I think Detroit may have an extra abundance of this, but strangers looking out for each other. The amount of interactions I’ve had & witnessed, as a helper or helpee or just another person in the crowd, is uncountable

reading sayaka murata on the bus and hoping desperately that nobody reads over my shoulder

if musicians not getting paid wasn't enough for you, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek investing 600 million euros in an AI war company wasn't enough for you, does having to upload your ID and turn on your webcam to listen to music finally convince you not to pay Spotify?

I was so stunned watching DS9 for the first time because I was like “oh ok Bajor is India and the Cardassians are the British” and then it was like…”or is it Palestine? or the Americas? or Ethiopia?” and the metaphor list didn’t end.

We have always made delightful little guys.

I hate her so much it's time to bully the CIA agent senator (again)

"Same Shit, Different Day" John Isaiah Pepion (Piikani) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this pilot episode is now public to listen to! it should be findable on all yer podcast apps (although it might be hard to find because it is new and has no reviews yet)

It's fucked up how much of everyone's future they are just shredding all at once

my mom is visiting and saw my fake book on the piano, and when she couldn't remember what it was called later starting referring to it as "the book of lies"

I try to remember that whenever we talk about how much of a fucked up horror show the world is, what we mean is that the world is full of good people being wronged and beauty being destroyed, that we risk losing all of it—not a denial of the good in the world but its affirmation.
