Lot of “I was just saying and/or doing what I was told to do” sort of talk happening…😬

At the risk of repeating myself, fuck Gavin Newsom and his inferior business cards

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

So the BC based Jim Pattison Group is planning to lease a building to DHS/ICE in Vancouver. We need to get out there and hammer them with our concerns.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

State violence doesn’t suddenly become fascism when it comes for people who look, vote, and worship like you. State violence is fascism every time it accepts the logic that certain kinds of people are disposable. That’s why you oppose it every time and everywhere. Do better.

Asking your government to stop using your money to slaughter your loved ones is not “asking for a pony,” you ghoul. The easiest open book test that was failed was thinking you could sacrifice other people to fascism and it would never come for you.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we need to remember all 11 million of the human beings the Nazis killed: * 6 million Jews. * 2.8 million Soviet POW's. * 1.8 million non-Jewish Poles. * 275,000 disabled people. * Also Catholics, Roma, homosexuals and political dissidents. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

I just half jokingly made an analogy between half measures in policy actions and carpentry…but the more I think about it, there’s some real meat to chew on there 🤔 I feel like I could write something which uses carpentry vocabulary analogized with structural policy reforms and the like…hmmm

It's nice that they're telling Republicans what to post. That way they don't have to think for themselves

⭕️ FBI probes Signal chats tracking immigration agents Kash Patel said the FBI has opened an investigation into Signal group chats used by MN residents to share info about federal immigration agents’ movements, citing concerns that such activity could put agents “in harm’s way.” Patel said the...

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.

Once more for the back to work crowd.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is a bridge too far. This Trump Gestapo must be banned from ever operating outside the US. If the Italians agree to this then I foresee many nations boycotting.

🎯 The ruling class which has the power to rob you on a large scale, also has the power to control the government and legalize their robbery. -Eugene V. Debs

Wow…what an awful piece of shit, barely human being 😒 If someone says that “human RIGHTS and health and safety laws” are hampering your work…your work is that of Fascism, plain and simple.

This is ICE’s standard threat assessment — ABOLISH ICE *and* this model of ridiculously skewed conception of who is a threat to whom

Finished the 3 hour documentary Third Reich: The Rise & Fall…it’s always hard to watch these things, but utterly important, imo. Also, hard to call such things “good” considering the subject matter. I’ll say that it’s one of the most thorough expositions I’ve seen and expertly presented.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

You should not piss off nurses.

2 hours of shoveling got me like:

Hell yeah! 3 free ebooks relating to migrant and border justice! Relevant reading y’all ✊ www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/525-fr... Newsletter

Wow…look at me, taking breaths and working to talk out a misunderstanding rather than just going to the ole immediate block route. It’s a rare occurrence since things like that rarely work online, but yeah…feels alright 🙂

Think of Sophie Scholl, hanged by the Nazis for her role in the White Rose Society. In the moment before her execution, she said: “Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” Full Spectrum Resistance

Is it surprising that DHS is waging war on states with leaders who have criticized Trump 🤔 www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Look at these fucking creeps over in the UK…I already knew their Reform party was shitty (e.g., fucking weirdo Farage) but man, these twerps just push it to another level 😒

The actor, Edward Norton, calls for a General Strike! "What they are doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand. We should be talking about a national General and Economic Strike."

Like, what academic author goes through the trouble to not only briefly explain their book, but actually make a 7 hour long video going through it, chapter-by-chapter (in the playlist), and then also make an immense playlist with all the interrelated discussions about the central theses!? Amazing.

Debating with myself how long I want to wait before shoveling my car out…😬

This is what happens when you blame migrants instead of billionaires open.substack.com/pub/gracebla...

Been learning *so much* from the Black Liberation Media channel. Well worth checking it out. Been bingeing Dr. Jared A. Ball @imixwhatilike.bsky.social as he explains the various myths around financial literacy (reading the book too), also the Black Myths Podcast and others. Great stuff! 🤩

cast DHS into the sea

Watching ‘The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop’ – a delightful film about tabletop gaming culture – and had the pleasant surprise of @add-hawk.bsky.social being in it! I just love these types of films that document fun subcultures with people who are genuinely passionate about their interests. 😄

“Many of us were raised to see democratic governments as our protectors against corporations—it would be more accurate to say that those governments are the *product* of colonial corporations and of the social and economic relationships they forged.” – Aric McBay, 'Full Spectrum Resistance'

I will repost Will Stancil exactly one (1) time

"Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you – Ye are many – they are few." - Shelley, The Masque of Anarchy

A grassroots network of mutual aid volunteers called Safe Haven has been doing nearly round-the-clock jail support for everyone released from detainment at Whipple, the federal building ICE operates from. They provide medics, rides, food, clothes, phones—anything people need after being released.

Subscribing to the average leftist’s Bluesky feed lets you know things about the world 10 years ahead of Liberal Current readers. That’s a bargain!
