If you think the violence the US government does around the world isn’t directly tied to the violence they do among their own people- here’s a short thread of US cities with mainly decommissioned military vehicles to use against their own citizens

They (the feds) are not stopping:

By depriving liberals of their traditional non-confrontational means of protesting *as well as* the public spaces they expect a sense of stability and “normality” in, the fascist regime forces more and more of them into postures of direct action (ICE watches instead of scheduled marches).

Corvids are splendid.

I think we’ll have (need to) maps and chronicles of people killed by ICE like we track munching, native massacres, massacres of Black people, and civil war battles. And that’s sad … but necessary.

When I was exposed to tear gas in 2020 I bled for days so much I called the local emergency room and my doctor nurse line multiple times a day. I was already scheduled for a hysterectomy delayed for years because of the pandemic - the tear gas made things 10 times worse & scary.

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system. This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

"we can not fan the flames of chaos" they attacked an infant last night. this isn't a fire that is still affected by fans. this is a flaming oil well being fed from below

signal boosting - in Minnesota, ICE left a car behind and people scooped up some documents from inside www.tiktok.com/t/ZThMP8ehk/

We can't have ANYTHING NICE

Everyone asking what Walz is supposed to do other than scolding us: Emergency eviction moratoriums now! Like right fucking now!

why are people laughing at this? this is NOT FUNNY!! please do not laugh

And there it is.

“Defund the police”and burning the police precinct here in Minneapolis both have higher approval ratings than any elected democrat because the Democratic Party helped create the fascist police state we are currently in and people want a party that actually fights back against fascism not become it.

And here it is - not surprisingly, the US regime's interest has nothing to do with national security, it's just another attempt to line the pockets of Trump's billionaire buddies.

There’s a reason the cops don’t protect anyone from ICE. It’s the same reason that neo-Nazis and the Klan are the only two varieties of public demonstrators that the cops have never attacked, and will never attack, not even once.

Shovel attack means a man was shoveling snow and laughed when he saw an ICE pig slip and fall

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Our tyrants are importing Israeli methods: "Renee Good and Ahmad Rajabi died because paramilitary authoritarian forces decided they did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists specifically to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder."

ALWAYS BULLY BIG CORPORATIONS/ORGANIZATIONS

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

Please help share 🖤🖤 If you're able to help her, any amount helps as she's going through a hard time

the democratic party and the centrists in the party at the national level are a fascist movement full stop.

I can’t believe this was a year ago already. And it was under Biden, so let’s stop pretending that this shit suddenly started with Trump.

Trump claims to want to bomb Iran over human rights concerns. This excuse is obviously pretextual, fake and not something Trump has ever expressed interest in until 12 days ago. Nevertheless, as I write, corporate media is uncritically reporting on it as if it’s a sincere and genuine conviction.

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

they have extracted all the semen from every ice agent who plugged themselves alone in a marriott bathroom and now the president is going to drink it

As a gender studies scholar, I am glad that so many ppl keep pointing out the significance of gender (& specifically, white evangelical masculinity) to all these various strands of violence and hatred. EVERYTHING IS GENDER & RACE.

I monitored Nazi terror Telegram channels from 2019 to 2022 or so and it's hard to overstate the degree to which DHS's X account mimics the tone, aesthetic, voice, and language of those cess pits. Whoever is running socials for them has obviously spent a lot of time in that space.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

This makes more sense once you realize that conservative men view women as property, not people. Property to be owned by white men, specifically.

I 💗Washington State and the people there. I actually have a small cabin that I used to visit there that is languishing because out of fear of my own safety, I can't justify visiting it anymore. But it's heartening to see the good kids of Everett saying loud and proud #FuckICE via The Everett Post

Some much needed whimsy 🌈💜✨ #WhimsyWednesday

The carceral system in the United States creates and causes far more violence than it has ever prevented. It enables and creates far more violent abusers and murders than it has ever punished. And that's why asking what abolitionists will do with violent people isn't a valid question.

The presumption that anybody's going to watch his show is very loud

Straight from the mouth of Bari Weiss.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

America has never been a free country, the government is just being honest about it now

🚨Border Patrol whistleblower outraged by ICE's conduct exposes over a dozen secret ICE programs in documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/21-secret-...

"If they come for us in the morning, they will come for you in the night" Sticker spotted in Seattle

Oh my god I thought it was a joke I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE

Don't invade Russia or Minnesota in winter

Legendary.

"The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Slave Catchers that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America!" If everything these state-terrorists have been doing WERE in accordance with the laws, would you be at peace with it, then? crimethinc.com/2018/11/09/t...

What you need to understand is both Schumer and Jeffries are leading the Democrats into collaborating with Fascism via rotating villain and the "progressives" like Sanders' and AOC's job is to sheepdog you into expending your political energies supporting the party pantomiming internal opposition.

"transgender ideology" doesn't turn kids transgender. Tobias, the red-tailed hawk trapped in the mind of a human boy and in love with a human girl he can only be with for two hours at a time turns kids transgender. know the difference.

Cost of living is just debt peonage. Every time you even come close to comfortably affording all your necessities, the cost will go up. If your wage is increasing at a slower rate than inflation every year, you’re just fighting the clock. Surprise. You were in the Andor prison all along.
