Being flippant because I don’t live in the district and I can be flippant if I want to: there is no reason to consider Bliss nor Fine if they cannot articulate the exact same talking points below because if you cannot stand for the fundamental basis of democracy here then you’re as good as useless.

it's not too late to stop this act.dsausa.org/s/4536.Xd0xHm

Red majorities in the legislature has them slamming the gas pedal. By no means do I mean to downplay how disgustingly cruel these actions are but the speed of their lawmaking speaks a lot to their present desperation. I don't think they fully understand what the fuck is coming for them after this.

each and every passing day is one more intolerable injury

the way I see most of this stuff now is that–much like CoreCivic contracts in small communities, the shadow fleets of chartered jets inefficiently moving ICE agents and maliciously trafficking humans, etc–companies like these are as much a form of looting the state as they are anything, well, real.

If you want to help keep this work possible as things get scaled up here in the heartland (and as the rate and extent of raids seem doomed to worsen) then please feel free to donate here with the commit "KCIF" (KC ICE Free) to earmark it for these specific activities donorbox.org/solidarity-w...

“Zoe Quinn sent me 3d whistles to distribute to my community” is a fact that has hit me like a looney tunes anvil for some reason

that's not to say it's impossible to do, that's to say if you try to do this with the tools and processes most admins have reached for thus far, you will end up with the same kinds of failed attempts we saw against trump during biden

the problem with so many crimes being committed is that it will take too long to list and litigate them before punishment comes down, and in that they will just find their way to a pardon before justice ever comes our courts are not prepared to handle white collar and govt crimes at this scale

dsa milwaukee candidate is currently leading lol

Another thing you guys are about to help pay for: 50 copies of 40 page family preparedness packets, with spanish translations + checked over by legal counsel, that will be printed and distributed at educator and family clinics we are now helping to run in the KC metro + other upcoming events.

This has been the case every time. A consistent and clear public majority against the facility, with ~5 to 1 during the first vote, but the city commission (at least, the ~3 majority against it in principle) is basically saying "we can't fight this, CoreCivic will ruin us financially if we do"

i just need to lock in

share my dreams with ghosts

we're trying to organize something big

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

Yet again, Trump is inching closer to deploying the military abroad without authorization from Congress. The American people don’t want another endless war in the Middle East. Our Members of Congress must hear from us. Senate: indivisible.org/actions/no-w... House: indivisible.org/actions/no-w...

There’s a recurring lawyer whose argument is largely “we should pass the permit but with 2 dozen additional legal riders” which translates into months of delay which, if we are doomed, is the best case scenario. The way he dresses his argument? “Let’s set the new standard in private prison policy”

Something fascinating: going through the public comments, there was an early one by a large middle aged white vet with a job now as a data analyst with a master’s degree. After he ran through all the reasons why the camp was bad, for both the city and community, he pivoted suddenly very hard to…

I got to yell from said PA system last night! This a community and family issue that impacts us all! March 10th is the next big date for the hearing, but we’ll be out there next Tuesday fighting for our town!

The idea that the opposition could not have done more to fight this a year ago will never feel like a quaint fantasy to me when the strategies, by necessity, now require people to throw themselves into the cogs of the death camp machine

One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.

the whole organizing against a concentration camp really brings the “mental health care” of things into focus because what else do you call trauma if not mapping a 5 hour long city hall video of permit testimony for the people you want to try organizing for the last chance to stop this thing

for those who don’t know, being hamfisted like this is basically the only way you can preserve your message through via local media. They will cut it all out every time. I have seen it happen half a dozen times in the 3 months I have been organizing, they will edit you into saying both sides.

“Our number-one duty is to get home safe.”

The thing about the cartels is that they, maybe more than most other orgs in the world, understand how much the salience of violence is worth more than the act of violence itself. They are tacitly some of the most media savvy criminals orgs in the world. Their entire business is terror on TV.

47% of all acquired 50 caliber rounds in Mexico trace back to a single munitions plant on the far end of the KC metro. A single plant with scandals because of its massive environmental impact and the local over reliance on its business for employment. By itself, 47% of all 50cal bullets in Mexico.

this humor is right up there with the anti-maga finance guys joking about getting a vacation home in Greenland or Canada

Maybe Something Beautiful Will Happen Today

@sanho.bsky.social just gave a stellar analysis, live on @aljazeera.com, of the war on drugs in #Mexico. He questioned the narrative that this was a major blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), or rather 'just putting water on a grease fire.' Hopefully the interview will be online soon.

we are at the "quickly updating flier dates with my iphone" level of doing stuff lol

Continue to believe that the last 2-3% of his approval is load bearing. You crack 34% and that’s when we enter what I call The Truly Chill Zone with the ailing pedophile mad king.

lol some side channel organizers have been going hard at mesh communications and it looks like the metro might soon have a functional mesh network lol

I am never kidding when I say we will send you whistles. 100 to actual thousands, as demonstrated below. toot.supply

is this a good moment to reveal that the movement of his jet, besides regularly visiting trump, correlates with a suspected ███ █████ fleet of ████ owned by a wealthy family in █████ who we think are also moving ██████ or am I supposed to save that one for the investigative op-ed

Meant to give a shout out to @dansinker.com @mostlybree.kitrocha.com @shivaniswriting.bsky.social and everyone else in whistle crew for getting me set up to distribute in the metro area!

looks like I’m gonna be on the schedule

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.
