Hey everyone, got a request from a RSM (Rancho Santa Margarita) community member, they're asking for people to show up for their Jan. 28th city council meeting at 7pm to denounce their mayor for saying he would "proudly stand with ICE." (the comment is at 36:45)

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

ICE keeps leaving valuable intel laying around.

NO ONE IS TAKING THE BAIT YOU IMBECILE THEY ARE TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS

lol

@governorwalz.mn.gov consider taking the legal theories from your court case and applying them on the streets of your sovereign state. If you have police powers, as you say you do in court filings, use them!

Every person who has ever served at any level of our system inherited a blueprint for who they need to be in this moment to prevent democratic collapse, according to the system’s initial architects. All are either catastrophically misjudging our situation or have consciously abandoned their duties.

I think the very least the iDigBio team could do about having tried to seriously legitimize a really bad genAI chatbot for use in the collections world is to just come out publically and say it was a mistake and people should not trust chatbots for this purpose.

If you're constantly rewarded for being terrible at your job, you convince yourself that you're not terrible because if you were terrible, why would you keep moving up, the problem here is that some people are terrible in a way that's convenient to those in power, and their ego cannot admit that

Hey folks, tell them what you think:

Why is it my job as a regular person to take “please stop giving money to the armed thugs breaking into people’s homes and murdering moms in mom-vehicles” and feed it to our LITERAL LEADERS like “OH here comes the AEROPLANE open up, nyooomm!”

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I don't even recall if I've ever stayed at a Hilton - if I did, it'd have been as a part of a group and I wouldn't have been the one who paid for it. But I still requested a summary of any personal data they have, and deletion of said data. Even if there's nothing there it still costs time to check.

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota. If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!

I landed on the side of tiktok that said we should stop calling ICE Nazi's to their face b/c many ARE proud nazis and instead should chant things like kiss, kiss, kiss when they get up in people's faces and I'm struck by the fact that Jonathan Ross shot Renae Good when she said she wasn't mad at him

From what I've seen I legitimately think "imprison every ice agent in guantanamo for life" is the moderate position. maybe even the squishy bleeding heart one.

"I want to see work done that would bring some serious reforms to ICE." Putting lipstick on a death squad.

This is an excellent and encouraging piece. data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-l...

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives. If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2. Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.

People in Minnesota need to understand their own elected leaders are doing this to them. Do not buy their excuses about how they are doing everything they can. They are lies. They have enabled this regime at every turn.

Republicans are saying this not to prevent more killings, but to lay down a rhetorical foundation so that the killings are never their fault, allowing them to do even more of them. It's just a murder machine, ramping up.

NEW: It appears billionaire Bill Ackman has donated $10k to a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. Ackman has reposted the fundraiser but hasn’t posted about his own donation.

I have some congresspeople who follow me, so I'll just throw this out there: As a taxpayer, I would actually prefer that you *not* continue to fund the fascist military machine that is being used to kill and kidnap people from our communities.

This isn't incompetence. It's not timidity. It's complicity. There can be no opposition to fascism so long as those willing to be complicit with it remain in our "opposition party "

"Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose"

The only ICE agent I'm aware of having been shot was shot by a Border Patrol agent who negligently discharged his sidearm while using it to smash a car window

Enough cases like that, with similar awards for people teargassed and awards in the millions for people shot, could help reduce the massive overfunding allocated to DHS.

After killing Renee Good, ICE fascists in Minneapolis have now arrested and detained 4 members of Oglala Sioux Tribe. ICE HAS ARRESTED AND DETAINED INDIGENOUS AMERICANS. These ICE fascists are not here to keep us safe, but to advance white supremacy. Defund and abolish ICE permanently.

My abolitionist friends have been right all along, but I have to say that it's surreal to see antebellum Overseer behavior and logics applied to white Americans. But my parents never lied about what I told you the other day: stand up for racialized folk, you are a n* lover & disposable to racists.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Please fill this out, even if you don't use discord regularly. They'll probably do it anyway, but let's at least point out how stupid it would be before they do.

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ. This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

We deserve political leaders who fight as hard for democracy as the average canvasser and ICE observer.

Police are like a box of chocolates. They'll kill your dog.

white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

Gang Initiate Forced To Peacefully Deescalate Conflict To Prove He Not A Cop

I know there are 500 enraged people from Alabama out there. There are 500 on this site. The only thing saving them from every day starting terribly is our belief that we should only call if we think we personally can change them. That's not the goal! Join my army of aggravating mosquito bites!

It really do recommend making your shitty day the problem of your shitty senator's voicemail every night, it doesn't have to be a chore. It is a actually cathartic

Senate Democrats are CURRENTLY negotiating a plan to INCREASE ICE funding by another 10%

Hey @inaturalist.bsky.social Why are you guys still posting content to a website that is currently churning out massive amounts of child pornography and revenge porn of murdered women? What the fuck, people! Delete the X account - do you not have any public relations people left? #iNaturalist #inat
