I think about this post a lot

artist @michaeldeforge.bsky.social is very good at clearly and effectively communicating what the fight is and how we're going to win check this shit out if u don't know mdf yet

While I prefer to be abstract with my art, this is the time to take the direct approach.

Reminder that if you're arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Hard to deny this.

There has NEVER BEEN AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY. There has been a racist, nationalist fear-mongering problem in this country. There has been an immigrant worker exploitation problem. But there has never been an "immigration problem."

bite back

They expect me to be impressed or excited about a new technology even though they haven't made plans to help any of the people they are displacing with it. Thousands of ppl out of work and their livelihood and their life's work so some rich guy can get richer and they want me to be impressed

Absolutely love seeing this protest hat as a the top pattern on Ravely right now www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

NEW: Trump is floating a $1.5 trillion war budget. $1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED. War costs us a better world.

oh is not having access to public bathrooms suddenly a problem?

thinking about how quickly all these huge, broadly harmful "AI" data centers popped up, but when we talk about things like affordable housing and robust public rail systems, the arguments against insist they would cost too much and take too long

*taps sign

In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble." If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power. And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/

I was thinking I'm gonna start calling offices of people who are running or up for reelection and leave the message saying unless they're on the record for abolishing ICE, I'm not voting for them, and they don't deserve the office.

UPDATE: Now, 215 Minneapolis General Strike solidarity actions are being held around the country. This could create serious momentum for strikes in other cities where ICE attacks. paydayreport.com/minneap/

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I will absolutely equate people who use AI with fascists / Nazis / colonizers because their universal base function, their shared core structure of behavioral patterns, is to violate boundaries and thieve attribution in an attempt to escape their own inadequacy. They take, because they can't make.

For those actively protesting or in danger of ICE raids, please save this red card. These are your constitutional rights. Weaponize these rights.

I like to pretend that today's all team meeting is for my birthday.

While you are asking for the Jeffrey Epstein files, ask what happened at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Garib, Bagram air base, and countless other official and unofficial US sites, and what is happening within the walls of the US corporate prisons Trump and ICE are sending men, women and children to.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

every god damn day

Absolute garbage. Call your reps and tell them NO BODY CAMS, NO TRAINING - ICE CANNOT BE "REFORMED." ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, THEN DEFUND AND ABOLISH ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS. Find your reps here: reps.fyi They are giving ICE *MORE* money with these garbage "reforms." More money to HURT US.

But for the benefit of people who may not know this: We are already here. I'm not asking you to buy solar panels, but I am asking you to look at all the solar farms popping up and realize they're happening because the economics make sense. Today. And it's all only getting cheaper.

My birthday is on the 22nd, if anyone wanted to draw me cute things.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them. Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong. Read more:

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

The original concentration camps didn't start as death camps. But they did kill a lot of people through neglect, malnutrition, disease, and individual murders. There's no distinction between this facility and dachau in 1933.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. Never forget in the face of evil, the only strength that will ever win is love/kindness. Evil is weak, that's why they're so destructive. Continue to be there for everyone in need of kindness/understanding and always shun/shame those who step on others for gain.

Not to get political, but universal basic income, healthcare, housing, public transport, and childcare.

This is disastrous. Call your reps. It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in Florida, call them because a rise in HIV cases there from these cuts will affect us in every state, and if Florida is having to make these cuts, your state might have to as well.

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Don't put pics on social media either!

If anyone works at major HR firms and platforms (Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and has info about what drove adding these questions to job applications in the last few months my DMs are open and my Signal is SydneyBauer.30 You will have anonymity.

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder. Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Not great that these guys are the biggest voices for Gen Z republican men. They're just openly being nazis at this point.
