look he's seen the polling, this is not a statement about what's effective, it's a statement about what they want to be committed to doing with power should they win. if they run on opposing ICE then they'll have to actually oppose ICE. this is ideology masquerading as electoral strategy

Real they took them alive we want them back alive hours Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Maine there is a Facebook group recruiting people to infiltrate groups supporting their neighbors during an ICE occupation. Andy writes about it here. People are joining the Pine Guard “militia” with their full government names. #hostilepress #hostilepressME www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Okay, I have seen a lot of people talking about Philly being next, and. You need to actually give context to WHY you are saying that because it really is the sort of thing that will freak out a lot of people, including me. It is profoundly unhelpful to just say "I hear [place] is next."

what's the difference? skin color.

Perhaps this is true. I think it's that Dem leadership is mostly fine with what ICE is doing and they are counting on their voters being mostly OK with it too if they regain power.

The kids in cages scenario... basically.

And what about the paramilitary death squads kidnapping and murdering people?

the dominant "rapid response" group in DC is deliberately discouraging the use of whistles and offering no alternative system to alert people who are in immediate danger. wrecker behavior at best, at worst infiltration.

Caution, hot surface

Its okay if you’re scared right now. Theres no shame in that. You’re not alone. Many of us are. Being brave in the face of adversity doesnt mean a denial of how you feel in the moment. Being brave in the moment is an acknowledgment that you ARE scared & you NEED to do something about it. ❤️

One rather basic thing that I've learned in my political development that some folks newer to this shit may need to hear is that there are two major categories of how privilege manifests.

This entire thing started because Trump was feuding with Ilahn Omar and the fash decided to send a punitive force (and that is what ICE is, despite claims to the contrary) in retaliation. And now it's come to this, all because of the bitch babies in the executive branch.

This is what “we are investigating the Governor” was really about. Not that there will be an investigation, but it’s a fig leaf he can wave at SCOTUS to get them to let him invoke; in spite of no actual insurrection.

Oof, right in the gut

We honor the courage of Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita, who sacrificed all in defense of Weelaunee Forest three years ago today. 🖤 And we give thanks for those who responded to Tortuguita's murder with a wave of fierce direct action. 🏴 crimethinc.com/LivinginanEa...

Imagine the kind of pastor that runs an ICE field office. What do you think he was like in high school? Lock in your answer. Now look. You were right weren't you?

J6 Nazi Meets Minneapolis: A Reportback Ever since Jake Lang was pardoned by Trump for assaulting police officers on Jan. 6, he has been going from one place to antagonize people Black people and Muslims. This little traveling show of his hit a snag in Minneapolis, and one of the people that was…

at least he'll be happy

Everything that happens in this country is a choice.

I've had this implemented a few weeks ago, but I think it's fine to share it now. There's now a pro wrestling match randomizer on my match recommendations page. Atm there's none from 2024 & 2025 since I'm fixing a lot of incomplete entries on both years 🤼‍♂️

not one of these pig bitch nazis has ever had to deal with a fiftieth of the flak any given trans woman catches just for being trans, but the government would like you to believe that getting your feelings hurt is sufficient provocation to shoot unarmed people in the face while screaming slurs

While it’s great that Stancil is doing what he’s doing regarding ICE it’s probably worth noting he’s currently arguing that armed revolution against fascists can’t co-exist w/ peaceful protest, & also posting about how liberalism is “radical liberation”. This is the dregs of revolutionary thinking.

Your regular reminder that they had concentration camps going in the last administration. (This, by me, from 2019, unpaywalled below). What they're doing now is an intensification.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

The concentration camps are working as intended.

1/x thread We need so many kinds of action now w/range of capacities: Image ofc the brilliant @prisonculture.bsky.social. I want to start by expressing my overwhelming gratitude to everyone who has & continues to put their bodies between them and the State during these days of horror and fury.

Hey what happens when a government stops trying to so much as pretend that its justice system is in place to protect its very well armed civilian populace is it good do good things happen

The unspoken truth is that the US is in a state of cold war against the domestic left. There's some debate as to when this started, but regardless it's here now. One of the tactics of this cold war is to quietly define political framing to exclude anything left of a certain point.

the big tent only seems to expand to the right.

after years of many of us joking about the "FOX News Cinematic Universe," conservatives have finally moved onto phase 2: "The MAGA Multiverse Saga"

ICE agents. are putting. stuffed animals. on dashboards. to fool children. into thinking. they won't be kidnapped.

Obligatory share of this 2021 article by Indigenous writer, Regan de Loggans, which highlights how mutual aid has always been a crucial part of how BIPOC communities have survived white supremacy, settler-colonialism, ableism, racial capitalism, classism, etc.: briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/vie...

This game is basically the answer to the question "what if you took SNES era Mega Man X and made a rouguelike out of it." (Its Sequel 30XX is the same with PS1 era MMX).

1. The abolition of class society 2. Medical autonomy for all. 3. A healthy culture toward sexuality. 4. Basic survival needs guaranteed. 5. A society of trust and care, rather then hyper-indivdualized survival based on competition and social darwinism.

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

Despite the fact that Wolfenstein 2014 was an over the top Dieselpunk AU where the Nazis won and literally have a moon base, in terms of the human element (which often gets overlooked in these stories) it is the most authentic and nuanced take on WW2 I've ever seen.

We need to kill more Nazis actually

Cory Booker should apologize for his "proposal" re: ICE. That would be a good example of self-accountability. Apologize and explain to your constituents WHY your proposal makes no sense at all.

It should click for you how many who ask for mutual aid online are disabled. Disabled people are likely to be in poverty & isolation. Disability makes life under capitalism precarious. That’s why disability justice is intertwined with getting rid of capitalism & why mutual aid is disability justice.
