Oh no why is Deanna Troi on NCIS. Oh no she's Mossad.

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well. Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

ICE are nasty ass child kidnappers, like after school special style

The vast majority of what’s happening is communal self-defense. It’s not an about agitating or escalating. The whistles, the honking, the yelling — these are efforts by people to warn and protect their neighbors. 2/3

in minneapolis we can chase nazis out of town on the exact same day of a whimsical sledding competition

Light snow in NYC expected to usher in much more on Sunday https://gothamist.com/news/light-snow-in-nyc-expected-to-usher-in-much-more-on-sunday

FROZEN PICKLE YELLS AT ICE

And if you truly have none, you can be the person you wish your ancestors were

ICE detained people while waiting in line at a food pantry. Again, ICE DETAINED PEOPLE WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A FOOD PANTRY.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Look, i saw the words "Beaver Enthusiast" on the screen and chuckled and didn't hear anyone else, so I judged the whole rest of the audience.

The Black Zine Fair needs funds to happen. We pay workshop facilitators, it costs us thousands to rent tables and chairs, we feed exhibitors & volunteers & more. Please help us to raise the funds needed: gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

I used to watch old episodes of Hogan's Heroes when I was a kid but I always assumed it was taking some liberties in its depiction of Nazis. Looks like maybe not though.

a number of church/school groups around here are doing this as well, and it's a great way to pitch in to protect your neighbors – join(or start) these logistical efforts within your own communities to help ensure safety for kids/pets/elders in the event parents/caregivers are taken

In 2002 or 03 a Chicago public access cable channel aired this for at least a full half hour. No audio. I took a photo with a digital camera & that’s all the documentation I have. Anyone have any dirt?

Mentioning some signal stuff that's helping me, and some people haven't noticed in settings: Folders: this can organize chats under headings kept at the top Custom notifications: you can give a chat a special noise, for example, to make RR sound different Mute notifications for non urgent things

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

For those keeping track, ICE loot drops have now given us a flash bang and a magazine. If you get a 30 constitutional observer raid together, I think you have a 5% chance of getting us an APC to transport whistles to coffee shops.

Lmao someone threw an open bottle of piss into an ICE vehicle that was driving by

Someone else co-wrote a book titled No More Police... thenewpress.org/books/no-mor... - I don't promote my own books enough. There are a bunch of people who have no idea that I have any, lol.

Bloop

Doing more digging on the list dumps I’ve been able to find of this and yeah the “leak” angle here is complete bullshit. It’s a scrape of anybody that has had ICE, Border Patrol, FBI in their linkedin profiles combined with a dump of Brady List databases.

(Bluesky search could reeeeeeeally use an upgrade.)

My friend is still on a group chat from their son’s prior daycare in Minneapolis. Last week, ICE agents—with their gear and guns—came into the daycare and took two teachers IN FRONT OF THE TINY KIDS.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

I found out that you can reuse a decades old calendar if its year’s dates line up with the current year’s, so this year I got a lovely 1998 Xena: Warrior Princess calendar. The way they added show events into it is cracking me up.

Minneapolis unions call for General Strike on Jan 23rd against ICE 5 major unions have joined the call so far & the list is expected to grow. paydayreport.com/5-minneapoli...

Just helped a gentleman wearing devil’s horns and assless chaps to purchase an OMNYcard, this is why it’s important to go out at night sometimes

from June

My office is ending Betar US’s campaign that engaged in bias-motivated assaults, threats, and harassment targeting Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish New Yorkers. My office will continue to use every tool available to protect all New Yorkers’ civil rights and public safety.

i can confirm. every single person here has a story about preparing for this, seeing it happen, knowing people affected, or organizing in response. every time i hear a loud bang outside or a siren, im terrified that it'll be ICE. i check every single time.

lmao, lol, hehe, haha, things of this nature

Just lucked out that the sorrel- ginger popsicles i made on a whim are being heartily consumed by a child who's home sick from school.

FIFA urged to intervene as Israel prepares to demolish West Bank football field

Perhaps I should have said “allegedly” in my original post (instead of “apparently”), but a move like this is completely in line with Eric Adams’ character and past behavior. www.theblock.co/post/385222/...

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

Whew, admiration for the patience ICE community defense organizers bring, as they field questions from newly joining people who don't seem to bring much awareness of why the work is structured the way it is...

A City Council staff member, who works every day to improve our city, has been detained by ICE without justification. We are working to gather more information, we will do all we can to support the staffer in custody, and we are outraged as ICE continues its assault on decency.

I know I'm asking us to be brave in the face of some really scary shit, and it may cost us, but we need to understand that the price of not being brave is more than we can bear. (Also, keep boycotting Target)

Because politicians usually swoop in and conceal they've been swayed and also steal the valor. 💀💀💀

I just learned that there’s a .gripe domain, so I bought the one for my neighborhood. Does this mean I can send cease and desist letters when my neighbors, you know, gripe?

Liberté, Égalité, Chardonnay

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

Happening now: hundreds have gathered in downtown Chicago to rally against both ICE/Border Patrol violence and US intervention in Venezuela. This is one of only multiple anti-ICE demonstrations planned in Chicago this weekend.

This is the scene in Minneapolis on Saturday, as a huge crowd gathered to protest the ongoing presence of ICE following the killing of Renee Macklin Good. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/huge-crowd-at-minneapolis-protest-against-ice-after-killing-of-renee-macklin-good Pic: KARE 11
