HELP NISI

I would say you absolutely need to attend this lecture

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

we need more strikes. Theyre so much more interested in the appearance of order than actual justice. Arresting people showing up for immigration appointments is perfectly fine with them. Fuck them all.

For those not familiar with "destructive scanning", this means Anthropic would buy up millions of physical books, use “hydraulic powered cutting machines” to chop them up, scan the pages on “high speed, high quality, production level scanners,” then send the pages to recycling companies!!!

All Senate Democrats (and independents) must vote tomorrow against the DHS appropriations bill. Please call your senators today and say NO more funding for ICE: 202-224-3121. Here's more about what you should know: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/dems-must-stop-ice-funding-heres

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.

The correct take.

trump wants to kill you. whether it’s an ICE agent shooting you, a cancer drug trial being defunded, increased air pollution, or defunding safe streets funding, the one universal thread in all of their policies is that they think the very idea of making the world a better place is a liberal hoax

I love to do dialectics so impeach both the fuckers

-4 with whites and -9 with men would...explain why there were firings

Really hoping this potential storm this weekend turns into nothing or just an inch or two. Rn the forecast percentage is low but its possible it could be really bad,

our intro episode of The Power of '73 Compels Us: A Year in Film Pod is live! join @palguy88.bsky.social & I as we get our feet wet in the world of podcasting! we discuss the pod's origins & reveal our full lineup of 1973 films open.spotify.com/episode/31Cf... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

An immigration judge just ruled that, because these two 5-year-olds have "insufficient assets and insufficient property," they can't be released, according to their lawyer. I can't find the words.

Reminder of the pattern: when the real trump falters, he is removed from the news and replaced my in headlines by a fake, imaginary trump who is instead doing reasonable and popular things.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

Folks sometimes forget that people resisting fascism do sometimes break laws, and that we shouldn't want them locked up for it. If someone on our side films an incident where someone breaks a law for the greater good, law enforcement doesn't necessarily get the unedited footage.

Also, the primary purpose of law enforcement body cams, functionally speaking, will always be the surveillance and criminalization of members of the public, not law enforcement themselves. Extraordinary exceptions confuse people about this.

You can't reform this. It must be abolished.

I really want to stress how much Bovino leaving means very little on the ground in #Minneapolis, reports of 10 ICE officers out of vehicles on the Greenway. We haven't won anything yet.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

If you missed it, I wrote about attending the AFCON final and why I hope African football can finally shed certain stereotypes because it really is a tremendous tournament www.whereisfootball.com/where-africa...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This is the pivot. Fire Bovino to get praise from centrists on TV, but criminally investigate Minnesotans for participating in community support group chats.

we are so back

Someone reached out and wants to pay the fee (including the donation to an anti-ICE org) for 5 people to join for whom the cost is prohibitive. DM if youre interested. Please reserve this for people who really need it.

My son's life is the most precious thing I have in life; I beg you not to deprive me of his life, which is in danger. I implore you to save my child's life by donating and sharing the post. My child suffers from a cancerous tumor and needs surgery to remove it.🙏🏿👇🏻 www.muslimgiving.org/mohmed0 🙏🏿

Don’t let them fool you with this shit and reports that people are leaving minneapolis. dont let up on your phone calls and demonstrations and being heard. Ice needs to be abolished

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

So I got a brick to try to limit my screen time but the problem with it is the same problem with all these apps. All you have to do to get around it is to go to your settings and turn off screen time access for it. Defeats the whole purpose of the thing

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Any news organization that quotes Bovino saying the victim intended to “massacre” agents and doesn’t say that is a damnable lie disproved by the videos is not a serious news organization.

can I ask what the deal with the “thank you for your attention to this matter” thing is? Why is he always saying it? What are his people? Very small thing but it drives me wild and I want to know what the idea is behind it

Agriculture is playing philly tonight (yayyyy) but seem to have rescheduled their next few shows. guessing theyre hunkering down in Philly for the storm. Honored to have you ecstatic spiritual black metal queens

I dont know if this is true but I could see it being so and if it is it rules and I hope they put it in the tv show

Caught YEAST tonight and man what a picture.

we don’t need to talk about what city is going to be better at resisting ICE, just give the people of Minneapolis the credit that they deserve and the love that they need in this trying time. you are amazing and awesome and we stand with you.
