“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'

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!

On the 'Massachusetts to Minnesota: We Stand Together' webinar right now and over 4,500 people on a Sunday night just flooding it with ❤️ for our fellow human beings out in Minnesota dealing with this horrendous domestic occupation. Inspiring. This solidarity makes me truly know: we will win ✊

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Correct ☑️

Fucking delightful…😠

Immigration officers in Minneapolis are now using a weapon that’s unfamiliar to many protesters: grenades that spew a noxious green gas. There are toxic ingredients in all of this stuff, but looks may be deceiving.

And yet, incredibly, we are still the ones being blamed

“There is not any instance recorded, either in sacred or profane history, in which the oppressors and enslavers of mankind, except in individual cases, have been induced by moral suasion, to surrender their despotic power and let the oppressed go free; but in nearly every instance, +

‘Speak truth to power’ does not mean try and convince power by the logic of your truth. If it means that, it’s a slogan we should dump, because power doesn’t listen to logic. Power doesn’t give a damn about truth. ... Power only responds to raising social costs, to force, basically. –Michael Albert

“*We fight because you can’t persuade a dictator, a sociopath, or a corporation*. Mass exploitation is not a mistake or a misunderstanding, and evil is very profitable. As Frederick Douglass famously said: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will.”” – Aric McBay

“Again and again, I have seen liberal “leaders” who instead of demonstrating initiative and bravery actually hold back the people they are supposed to be leading. People of influence who discourage action and escalation in situations where it is clearly needed.” Aric McBay, Full Spectrum Resistance

There is no “immigration crisis,” there is only a fascism crisis.

Jfc…😒

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

All too typical, honestly

“don’t give them what they want” they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

The Iranian government is shooting protesters. Thr United States government is shooting protesters.

This is a good time to volunteer. Many Community Aid organizations are overstressed and the original team of volunteers feel burned-out. If you are ready to volunteer, you will be welcomed! Aftercare volunteers are needed for families of the kidnapped. www.theeastsiderla.com/neighborhood...

Yes, there is always going to be a minority contingent of this country for whom the shootings will always be justified, but there is a vanishingly small audience for whom Miller's brand will still play. Everyone saw the video. No one will buy that it was an "assassination attempt."

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

“The idea of fighting back makes the liberal left deeply uncomfortable. This is because the liberal left identifies so closely with those in power—and sees itself as part of those power structures, the “loyal opposition.”” – Aric McBay, 'Full Spectrum Resistance'

“If we want to have a livable future, we need to move beyond dissidence to real resistance. And we must understand the kinds of tactics that resistance movements use to win.”

I needed a little self-care break from where my emotions were going after today so I figured just throw on a dumb movie in the background and probably read. I out on Deep Cover and laughed my ass off, reading nothing. Doesn’t change the realities of the world, but it was a useful temporary escape.

NBA star Tyrese Haliburton:

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Started my day watching ‘Third Reich: The Rise’ and then the Minnesota murder happening, followed by my attendance to the local DSA screening of ‘The War on Democracy’ and finding out Michael Parenti died…😮‍💨 Gonna try to bail from Bluesky and find something light to watch. Take care of each other ✊

Same bruh…same

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

Noem: "This individual... committed an act of domestic terrorism." Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. He was a nurse. And ICE officers murdered him, without any possible legal justification for doing so. The video evidence irrefutably demonstrates that.

Facts 💯

You cannot outrun fascism. You cannot wait out fascism. You have to fight it.

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.

yes

DHS actively rooting against the citizens of the country.
