Struggle is not the goal. It’s the method. To get free. Too many people imagine struggle is the goal, so any acts of worldbuilding that prefigure freedom are dismissed as incidental, as distractions.

JUST IN: Judge John Tunheim (Clinton) rejects Trump admin bid to lift order blocking mass detention of immigrants in Minnesota admitted to US as refugees. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

In 1963 MLK supported a nationwide boycott of Xmas shopping. @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social notes that the NYT editorial board wrote a piece slamming the effort called “Strike Against Santa Claus” which they said would “put civil rights activists on the same level as those who did the church bombing.”

If you're in Nevada, please call Senator Rosen and tell her that ICE officers who execute people in the street cannot be "trained" to stop doing so. It's a debased, fascist organization that must be defunded and abolished. Her number: 202-224-6244

This councilman in the San Diego area has been a Republican for 50 years and changed his party affiliation to Democratic over ICE today.

The New York Times, hard at work 🫩

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it

Every university that capitulated to Trump’s financial demands looks so fucking stupid right now

Sometimes I just randomly shout, “TO WHAT END!”

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

A federal judge issues a restraining order against the feds, barring them from "destroying or altering evidence" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

NEW: Federal agents have detailed a Spokane 10-year-old and her father. They remain in a Texas immigration detention center. The judge that is set to oversee the case has a 90%+ denial rate for asylum claims. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

ICE Deems Being In Privacy Of Own Home Obstruction Of Justice https://theonion.com/ice-deems-being-in-privacy-of-own-home-obstruction-of-justice/

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

77 percent of Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent… “We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

I'm still thinking of the fact that Zohran Mamdani went on The View, said "abolish ICE" and then got a round of applause

New: A federal judge gave the Trump administration three weeks to "rectify the mistake" it made by deporting a college student to Honduras in violation of a court order, and he recommended it issue her a student visa. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

The focus on training misses the mark. Yes, many federal agents are sloppy and unprepared, but years of organizing against police violence have taught me that more training doesn't stop violence. It just makes the death-making more respectable (sometimes) and more expensive.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

I would think it's the doxing trucks, death threats, and the Trump admin going after international students but that's just me. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

NEW: In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, plaintiffs who live in housing across the street from Portland's ICE facility today filed a preliminary injunction motion to bar the feds from shooting tear gas, etc., when not necessary, because it keeps entering their homes.

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

I might hate my friends' enemies more than *they* hate them.

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

"Trump will just defy court orders, what's even the point of litigating" This, this a point

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

Me making my bed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck. Me laying in it: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the government to restore Rümeysa Öztürk's SEVIS student record after it was wrongfully terminated in retaliation for exercising her freedom of speech. This allows her to fully engage with the opportunities of her PhD program.

finally got my library card and discovered i can check out big ass prints of artwork and hang them up on the walls for like months at a time
