A NYT narration of the multiple angles of Pretti’s execution shows that he never posed a threat; that ICE brutally instigated violence and Pretti only sought to defend a prone woman; and that two ICE agents shot him 10 times in total. Devastating. Horrific. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Minneapolis has developed an effective new tactic to disrupt ICE and break companies away: Make a ton of late-night noise outside the hotels ICE agents are staying at Minneapolis organizer Aru Shiney-Ajay explains why this tactic has been so powerful — and how people nationwide can do the same 🧵

If the Greens win Gorton and Denton, it'd change politics forever. www.owenjones.news/p/a-green-vi...

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

No surprise that the Doomsday Clock ticked closer to Armageddon today. Nuclear powers Russia, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, India & the US have all been sabre-rattling their world-ending nuclear weapons. At 85 seconds, it’s closer, than ever, in history*

🚨BREAKING: Protestors have SHUT DOWN the arms lobby group ADS’ annual arms dealer dinner in London tonight. SHUT IT DOWN FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸

David French argued Renee Good's murder is an example of the US having two sytems of law: orderly for friends & belligerent for foes. @victorerikray.bsky.social corrects him: US law has always promised fascism for non-whites & those who stand with them. groupthreat.com/p/americas-d...

People engaging in protest and protection actions need bail funds, legal costs, and just money to live while their lives are turned upside down by arrests and felony charges - yes, even if they've done nothing wrong

I've been representing protesters pro bono since Trump 1.0. In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more. Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why.

Just unbelievably evil

You can always count on Chuck Schumer to bottle it, to refuse to confront fascism in a meaningful way, to seek to "restrain and restrict" outrage, channel it into a safe form of non-resistance. In other words, he is a fascist enabler.

WCNSF - "Wounded child no surviving family." There are 17,000 orphans in Gaza who have lost BOTH parents, Over 30,000 who have lost one parent, 2,700 family bloodlines entirely wiped out; every single member. The starvation and bombing continue in the worlds largest concentration camp

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Seems to me Reform's "We need a British ICE" is a serious weakness to attack them on, given how horrified I think most people are by US ICE - may be easier to get traction than other unpopular RUK policies like privatising the NHS, as they just avoid the topic, where here they're loud & clear...

Mother Jones and other outlets fought to unseal documents that show that the Trump administration targeted students for Pro-Palestinian speech. We won.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale. These are mostly children. This is where Liam Ramos is being held. They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions. These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

Reminder: Reform UK wants ICE-style murders on British streets.

Double you tee eff?

Understand this: There are Trump regime concentration camps in America, where innocent people are being killed and tortured and sexually abused—not to mention caged indefinitely—and that includes men, women, and children. These Nazi-style camps are on military bases to keep their activities secret.

🇸🇩 Sudan | Two new mass graves have been discovered in Khartoum's Al-Riyadh neighborhood. The sites contain the remains of thousands of people, according to local sources cited by Anadolu. Victims were identified as having died under torture in nearby buildings that had been utilized by the RSF...

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

I've written this blogpost on ICE protest chants & songs, w/ a large section of transcriptions of singing at protests by faith leaders and the Singing Resistance. It also includes songs about ICE agents' perceived masculinity issues and new songs protesting ICE. medium.com/@norikomanab...

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Gods

That's an armoured vehicle sold to ICE by a Canadian company btw. Some of us were furious about the sale of such vehicles to Saudi Arabia under Harper/Trudeau, and we are equally furious about this under Trudeau/Carney.

A world where our health records are used to power state-sponsored surveillance and target vulnerable communities isn’t so far away https://goodlawproject.org/palantir-uses-medical-records-to-target-people-for-ice-in-the-us-will-the-uk-be-next

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now-- a lot of resources and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

When @mashagessen.bsky.social says something, you shut up and listen:

Insisting on the "right to defend themselves" after killing people. Blocking doctors from victims. Kidnapping kids. Lying straight to your face. Taking billions of US tax dollars to do it all. And you're villified if you protest that. Is this the Israeli military? Or ICE? Yes:

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

"Israeli arms exports surged in the wake of the genocide, reaching a record $14.8 billion in 2024. Europe emerged as the largest buyer, accounting for 54 percent of total exports." www.972mag.com/germany-isra...

"As many as 30,000 people could have been killed in the streets of Iran on Jan. 8 and 9 alone, two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health told TIME—indicating a dramatic surge in the death toll." time.com/7357635/more...

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

But who is first and who is third changes. The Labour vote has collapsed nationally since the last election. They've lost half their voters. The Greens have surged, more than doubling their vote share in the polls. And voters routinely use by-elections to punish incumbent parties... 1/2

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Another massive contract. Christopher Harborne, the largest shareholder in QinetiQ, has donated c.£22,700,000 to Reform UK. 92% of QinetiQ's income is from the MoD. The UK government, in this way, subsidises Reform UK. I think I'm the only one who's reported this @bylinetimes.bsky.social
