People seem utterly surprised that ICE would go after educated Korean engineers in Georgia, but skilled nonwhite immigrants shouldn’t expect any exceptional treatment in racist USA. Collective solidarity across immigrant groups is the only way to build power against this regime.

WTF @MSN - didn't expect to see an ad for racist confederate shit while checking the weather. FIX THIS.

Photos of young (mostly white) girls surrounding Trump as he signs an anti-trans executive order is a preview of what the next generation might look like unless we continue to fight for the dignity and humanity of all marginalized identities.

As @dahlialithwick.bsky.social stated in this interview, an executive order is akin to “letter to Santa”. Whether the actions are legal is clearly not a concern to Trump and his loyalists, who seem to think the Constitution is optional.

He is formally establishing #DisinformationHq

We’re seeing which corners our leaders and institutions are choosing when democracy and humanity are actually on the line. Choosing to be apolitical is not an option. #ThisIsNotADrill

“Gender ideology” and “transgenderism” are literally terms made up and used by bigots.

When I taught in higher ed, every single mainstream criminology or criminal justice textbook mentioned some form of critical race theory. Critical theories are literally part of those disciplines’ canons, as well as essential reading in so many other academic fields.

VERY important: ICE still needs judicial warrants before they can go into nonpublic areas. Not “administrative warrants.”

Every single school board, town/city/county council or board of commissioners, etc. that passed an MLK resolution on 1/20, or publicized some ceremony or event honoring MLK, or used MLK’s image/words to promote its agenda or cause, should be on the frontlines defending communities from ICE.

The consequences of the US never having gone thru a genuine nationwide truth & reconciliation process to acknowledge its genocidal and racist in history is on extra full display today.

If these Mama Bears care so much about kids, let’s see them fight for children who are about to face deportation or lose parents to deportation. Oh right, they don’t actually care about anyone’s kids but their on.

Please remember that ICE sightings should be carefully verified before sharing. Incorrect information, even with the best intentions, can cause panic and lead to missed appointments, school, work, etc.

This seems like a good day to remind cops that you can ❗️quit ❗️your job rather than work in a system of state and carceral violence. Want to be a hero? ✨ Teachers, nurses, counselors, coaches and many others save lives every day.📚 Want to serve & protect your community? See ⬆️ #wekeepussafe

Please pay attention to what the GOP is doing in North Carolina. They are continuing to try to steal a state Supreme Court seat. youtu.be/cHzbdAdR4vE

F12 and their surveillance at the NC General Assembly. This is OUR house.

Can you name the NC Senator who belongs to each of these desks on the Senate floor? (Since they play games, so can we).

The 2nd part of my story about the FBI's handling of accelerationist terror investigations and what we can expect with the return of Trump to the WH is out today. Thanks to @milleridriss.bsky.social and @jonlewis27.bsky.social for their analysis. /1 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

NC election protest explained by Southern Coalition for Social Justice. southerncoalition.org/voting-right...

Just so I understand the rules moving forward: ❌ GOP loses election ==> stolen, fraud, insurrection ✅ GOP wins election ==> fair race, “election integrity”

The fact that it’s even legal to combine disaster relief funding w/measures to overhaul the executive branch in a single bill is exactly why people distrust the political process. This is why people disengage from electoral politics. This is why voting feels pointless. www.wunc.org/politics/202...

It feels a little too good to be true that losing fascist candidate (for NC Superintendent of Public Instruction) Michele Morrow isn’t here on bsky.

NC’s GOP is once again trying to require its 100 sheriffs to comply with ICE. Gov Cooper vetoed a bill passed by the general assembly this past September, but a veto override seems to be how the xenophobes in Raleigh want to end 2024. www.acluofnorthcarolina.org/en/legislati...

Marginalized folks have been creating mutual aid & community safety networks for decades, and especially since DJT won in 2016. We can do it again because: 1) models/systems of safety already exist (👏 to ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ leaders who came before us), 2) we have the people, and 3) we know how to resist.

Satisfied so far with the ratio of cat photos to political posts. Could use more cute baby animal videos though.

Well said.

New from me: After protests this spring that the UNC System Board of Governors chair said caused “chaos,” the board is now considering drafting a single policy on mass gatherings and student discipline for all 17 campuses. But the decision isn’t yet final: www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
