Everything we do to protect communities, we do for free, as willing volunteers. That goes for the vast majority of those who resist ICE. Everything ICE agents do to terrorize communities, they do for money, and that money comes out of our pockets. The longer they go without paychecks, the better.

first time in new york since zohran took office and other than having to recite the shahada on arrival at laguardia nothing much has changed

I mean technically yes but they still did 9/11 so 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, good. Ok.

Capitalism must die on Earth.

Join a union and you too can call the president a bitch consequence-free!

FBI went on to clarify that Epstein was actually just running a sex trafficking ring for the love of the game, and that Powerful Men were just along for the ride.

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

Portland: I would like to remind you all, in this trying time, of our city's proud tradition of nuncocks (2 dildos connected by a cord, thrown over power lines like sneakers) www.reddit.com/r/Portland/c...

Kier Starmer and Greg Bovino: who will finally break down crying first?

DHS should under no circumstances be allowed to have more time on this earth than Tupac got.

We often rightly focus on how evil these people are but we also have to remember that they are weird little nasty pervert freaks.

For some reason Tulsi Gabbard is still dipping her toes in the shallow end of the Supervillain Aesthetics Pool, and hasn't committed to a good facial scar, or steel teeth, or an eye patch. If she's the reason that Ron Wyden is worried about the CIA, she's gonna need to step her game up.

fuck The Police.

It's times like this that I think about what a shame it was that Neil Gaiman died horribly in that freak hot-tub accident all those years ago. The details were so gross as to be frankly humiliating.

The 2 federal immigration agents who fired on protester Alex Pretti are identified as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa & Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, both from S. Texas. If the men who murdered Alex Pretti & Renee Good are not held to account we have no freedom.

My main takeaway of the Pretti assassin name leaks is they’re both long term veterans of 12 and 8 years respectively They weren’t six month new hires Tear down all of DHS

It’s Imbolc, the light is returning

For the record, I'm fine with open borders. Especially if this is the alternative. Fuck this.

what impressed me most today was that a huge crowd of people who mostly had never been tear gassed managed to retreat without running or trampling each other. under a cloud of gas that was not moving (zero wind), people held onto each other and walked blind down a street packed tight as sardines

ICE gassing kids in Portland who showed up for a union led protest. This is what the agents signed up for. This is why the agency was created. Turn DHS to dust, then salt the ground from whence it came.

If you are pissed off at how the Feds tear gassed families - tell it to the DA - Nathan Vasquez. He has more options than city council. And get it on public legal record with the Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

ICE must be destroyed

just choked on my beverage

Just a reminder that Perez is the kind of person who returned to campus after graduating to sell overpriced dogshit weed to Reed College undergrads in like 2012. Also if I can't find a spot with no wind, and can't stop bobbing my head and mumbling, I'm not posting a video. But I'm not in Congress.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

My cancelable take on sorcerer twitter is that, by extension, geomancy is just candy crush cartomancy.

My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that there's no such thing as "Vibe Casting." You either know how to write the runes or you don't, just because you enchanted a bookshelf to spit out random snippets of other people's work does NOT mean you're a caster.

My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that we need to stop calling it "The Art." Sure, I love poetry, but the TikTok generation doesn't realize just how much of it is chemistry and engineering, to say nothing of contract negotiation.

I would further stipulate that any paid public role is subject to My Mom's Telemarketer "How about I call YOU at home during dinner?" Rules: If your job involves intruding into someone's home, then sorry, but fair's fair.

Make them all leave via a single helicopter on the roof of the Whipple Building.

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

“We lost all trust,” a current ICE official added. “I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.”

The threat of invoking the Insurrection Act is way more powerful than actually doing it, and anyone who thinks doing it is a good idea has a terminal case of Twelve Year Old Brain where the victory is that the Army does what I want I win forever because they’re the tough guys from the Army.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

I just think the feds categorizing people who return their library books and help their neighbors and pick up trash on talking trails as "terrorists"might not be the winning strategy they think it is.

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

There is a vigil in 45 minutes. I am still feeling sick from tear gas and not going. But at 7pm CST, whoever you are and where ever you are. Go to your street corner. Light a candle. If you are someone who prays, pray. Shine a light for Minnesota!🕯

a state is a machine for killing jesuses

Let's do a thought experiment called "what would normal police response be if 6 armed, masked, unidentified men who had just beaten and shot someone to death told police to leave the scene." Don't have to write anything down for this one. Just imagine how many blocks away you'd be able to hear it.

They always face away from the Nazis with guns and towards the people who are mad about the Nazis murdering people.

We can build beautiful things in the darkest times. I’ve seen this all over the world, in Kurdistan and the Darién Gap and in the mountains and deserts of the borderlands. You can do it on your block now, it’s not special or hard, it’s how we are supposed to be and it’s inside all of us.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.
