This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

Trump’s administration continues to focus on other countries' issues and ignore the many that Pennsylvanians already have!

The mother of an 8-year-old autistic boy is preparing to take legal action against a New York school district after her son was allegedly placed in a "timeout" box at school. people.com/mother-plans...

did @abigailgardner.bsky.social start a rumor that went mainstream or what

I DO NOT CARE IF THE PERSON ICE IS BRUTALIZING IS A U.S. CITIZEN OR NOT AND EVERY TIME YOU MAKE THE DISTINCTION IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE FINE WITH THEM BRUTALIZING IMMIGRANTS

The woman who said she was autistic as ICE dragged out of her car is named Aliya Rahman via this statement: "Masked agents dragged me from my car and bound me like an animal, even after I told them that I was disabled." It happened two blocks from where Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good.

I am begging: Do not learn how to do activism or organizing from social media influencers. Do not join massive unvetted Signal groups promoted by “revolutionary” influencers. If you want to be an activist, you need to be embedded in local community with people you know and trust. I am BEGGING here

these kids already spent so much time on virtual school because of covid ☹️

this can’t be a good sign

Eric is doing a great job getting legislators on the record right now, follow him if you aren’t yet!!

People are being hunted. Families torn apart. A woman was just shot in the face. And DHS seem to think it's acceptable. I joined @robinkelly.house.gov and my colleagues to formally introduce articles of impeachment. It's past time to fire Kristi Noem.

Angie Craig tells me on ICE funding, “I won't vote for a penny of funding for ICE until they stop terrorizing Minnesotans.”

Pennsylvania workers have waited long enough while the Republican-controlled state senate refuses to raise the minimum wage. Justice starts with fair pay. ✊#RaiseTheWagePA #20YearsLate

Change begins with a conversation and action. Let’s talk about how Republicans in Harrisburg have stopped us from earning what we deserve. #RaiseTheWagePA #20YearsLate

went to Harrisburg for the first time

AOC tells me when it comes to ICE funding "you get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs that are shooting mothers in the face.” (Though much of the money for ICE came from Medicaid as much than the ACA if I remember correctly).

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

For those asking why I am asking about ICE funding NOW, the government runs out of money this month and Congress has yet to pass the Homeland Security bill. ICE won’t be abolished, but Democrats can hold up the bill

Renee Good's killing in Minneapolis is a tragedy, and my heart goes out to her grieving family and community. Almost immediately, the Trump Administration outrageously called it a "domestic terrorism" incident. [1/2]

I'll say this very clearly right now - if any member of congress tries to "sell" us on an increase for DHS funding because it's going to include more for training, that's a load of bullshit and we won't be having it.

ok would like to see more of this

once again want to remind yinz to follow & support @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social and her efforts to keep tabs on these losers

A somber protest march against ICE in the South Side in Pittsburgh heads toward the DHS offices

The problem with ICE is not insufficient training or even training content. It’s creating an agency where you give people guns and tell them to terrorize Brown people and then recruit people excited to do that.

I literally do not care what anyone is saying on twitter or fucking truth social. Stop cooking your brains on this shit. Stop forcing it down other people’s throats. It’s so fucking annoying.

LETTERMAN: “.. CBS News is a wreck. It’s just gone. .. The integrity of CBS News .. has been trampled on, pissed on and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.” @letterman.bsky.social $PSKY youtu.be/CHYksa07oQA?...

Doc Rivers: "What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder"

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.

IMPORTANT READ: This week’s shootings in Minneapolis and Portland aren’t isolated headlines—they’re part of a pattern of gun-related incidents by federal agents. Take a moment to learn more:

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

We’ve been trying to tell y’all for years.

People do not want to reckon with the actual purpose of policing. That's all I'll say about that.

have a goat

men with guns have a unique sense of entitlement to women and ownership of their lives. violence toward, and hatred of, women is the predictor toward much of the gun violence and death in this country. everytownresearch.org/report/guns-...

gotta be some use for this at some point

Very noticeable at this vigil outside the ICE office in Pittsburgh how many new people came out, with a church or just following their own conscience.

There are no short cuts. I'm sorry. There is only long term, consistent, and disciplined organizing.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

The closing of the CP and the PG aren't just like, a bummer, or like a regular fuck-the-Blocks moment. It's a drastic reduction in citizens' ability to stay informed and hold our local government accountable, which in today's political environment will have consequences that make my head spin.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Wow. Block has done incalculable damage to local media.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Please stop posting stuff I don’t like. In the future try to do posts that I would enjoy

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

it’s kind of rude that they make you pay convenience fees when you’re reloading your kid’s lunch account online-especially when there’s no other option to do it *but* online
