Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

“Pushing their rights, to peaceably assemble.”? CBS added themselves to the “ no watch” list quite some time ago. This reinforces that decision.

Amazing to see from afar. All I could do was write a protest song. youtu.be/IROJ14esLFE

Minnesota is turning out. Target stores packed with people Trump never expected—older white liberals, calm, organized, immovable. No chaos, no fear. Just deliberate bodies applying steady pressure. Protect them. This is disciplined, defiant resistance.

Liam is now home.

The psychological damage they are inflicting is devastating.

I'm a trauma psychotherapist and that's all I can think about: how much damage is being done to Liam and his family and all the folks who are being kidnapped and imprisoned and pepper sprayed and assaulted.

Liam and his dad are home. (From @voteinorout.bsky.social )

iCE CONCENTRATION CAMP UPDATE - Orlando City broker secretly marketing and leasing the ICE Warehouse Airport Building Orlando City refuses to block the sale of. Their name is HLI Partners LLC, located in Winter Park.

Non-violent resistance is twice as successful as violent resistance.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning. A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

Yup. People who study these things have found that the reason non-violent protest/resistance works is partially because when the authoritarians / fascists and other abusers use violence against non-violent groups in public, others experience empathy & outrage, which can sway public opinion.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social What will it take before you see? Shut. It. Down! Press this, our fkg advantage! The groundswell of anger! Protect us! Use this moment! Stop ICE cold! Start here & end this thing! Make the GOP own ICE! We shut govt down for ACA cuts. Do it again! NOW!

We've just learned that the man in this video, Ian Austin, was among those arrested by federal officials. More info to come soon.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

🔥 KNOXVILLE: “The mindset of inferiority in minority kids needs to end with this generation.” #NoICE #AbolishICE Great piece from knox news on the student-led walkout today. 💪🏽

The federal government is covering up two red rums. Let's not become comfortably numb to this.

"Every surrender doesn't just enable the next expansion of abuse, it ensures it." Tad Stoermer This was true in the 1800s with slavery, it's true now with ICE.

"There's always a reason to wait and the reason is always the comfort of the people who aren't doing the dying." Tad Stoermer Get rid of @schumer.senate.gov now and replace him with someone willing to work to abolish ICE.

Liam is now sick. Please get him to his home. Call congress reps. ACLU please help save this child from suffering.

History tells us that without sustained and intense pressure, Democrats will set a new land speed record for political capitulation. www.levernews.com/how-democrat...

The STRIKE has begun. No work, no school, no shopping until midnight tonight. Let's do this.

Yup. Forget and move on is the Schumer play. Nope and nope.

For those criticizing me for criticizing Schumer's deal making, all I will say is I sincerely hope for the safety and security of our communities that you are right and I am wrong. And in 2 weeks, if I am wrong, which I hope I am, then I will be the first one to praise Schumer's "Art of the Deal."

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Wouldn’t it be awful if someone was carrying a trap phone that continued to record and transmit audio/video/location data whilst seemingly turned off? And then that phone spent its time wandering around federal facilities in the company of ICE agents. I hope no one does such a terrible thing.

There was a story on Kare 11 about winter coat donation drives through various businesses in the metro area and they left out one key detail: the fact that these coats are for people that are being released from the Whipple building into the deadly elements of Minnesota winter with no protection

People in Minneapolis showed up in the streets and Jeffries and Schumer are stabbing them in the back.

I say this because Schumer’s demands of requiring ICE wear body cameras and banning masks to avoid a government shutdown are simply not enough to meet the moment. More training will not solve this when there are already literal concentration camps on our soil where people have already died.

It’s too cold in NY even for penguins. The Long Island Aquarium brought 20 penguins indoors due to frigid temperatures. South African black-footed penguins prefer milder weather, so when temperatures drop below 30 degrees, they’re moved inside. (ABC News)

Calling this Silly Millie Monday 🦖🍓

Ah, October 2024….

Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day: -using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities -seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties -prosecuting 2020 enemies -extorting states for sensitive voter data www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It appears several clergy were just arrested as they staged an anti-ICE protest in the Russell Rotunda in the U.S. Senate office building. A number of faith leaders, who were in town urging Senators to vote against additional ICE funding, were led away by police: www.facebook.com/FIAnational/...
