I think my favorite part of this is Max's look, because he can't encourage it and keep kayfabe, but he knows it's way past heel heat to react badly to it. 🤼‍♂️

USE WHISTLES AGAINST ICE Look, I actually don't like to talk about actual vulnerabilities because there's evil shit people who'll weaponize it. I am sensitive to sound. I've been open about having cPTSD but not about all of the events around it and that'll stay the same. It was SEVERE, today less.

Yesterday was Mooninite Panic Day. Help celebrate by contributing to Sean Stevens' GoFundMe - he's in the final stages of dying from cancer. If only for the lolz he brought to the world. www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

Seriously starting to feel like I'm having a brain aneurysm when I read this doofus' pronouncements

I'm sure an investigation will determine that the officer was in fear for his life and responsibly deployed less-lethal ordinance Against a 9 year old (Bodycam footage will be used to justify that as well)

Boop

Happy 2026 to the Somerville Media Center! This is an incredible resource that i hope more people in the city will discover this year. And based on the size of the cake leftovers, yall can be confident that they have room for YOU to create with and for your neighbors!

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I personally have bristled at being called "performative" by people who have never (a) actually performed, (b) have no idea what they are talking about, and (c) put personal grudges above their community. Sometimes all at once! But then I try to just shake it off and get back to the work.

I think "Dunning-Kruger physiognomocracy" is probably correct But I nominate "Bureaucracy of Basic Buffoons" for everyday use

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAA

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

Thank you Rep @pressley.house.gov and Sen @markey.senate.gov Please do make sure it covers every other cop everywhere QI, like DHS, must be abolished

Hats off to Ecuador for being the most recent nation to repel an illegal invasion by the USA

myemail.constantcontact.com/Surveillance... - this is a short distillation of why you should oppose body cams when they are offered as re-form.

Am i proud of my sidewalk clearance? Yes, yes i am

wild to see any Democrats “unite” around any bodycam proposal after DHS has said they’ve got multiple bodycam videos of agents killing Alex Pretti

I'm so frustrated by this. The Dem position is "the Republican immigration policy is great, but we should enforce it a bit less harshly." That's all they've got. Even the protests are focused on ending enforcement of the ridiculous status quo, rather than changing it root & branch

This is a great thread of reminders of the works of evil, and why DHS can only be destroyed (not "reformed")

I'd also ask that they find 10% of the moral clarity of those Subaru pilots - it will be required to burn DHS to the ground and prosecute everyone employed there who cannot produce written contemporaneous evidence of their objections to these orders Dachau needed destruction, not body cameras

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

I mean it’s true that there are “paid agitators” in Minneapolis. There are 3000 of them and they’ve assassinated two people.

I've had folks ask what resources they can pass along to friends and relatives in Maine and elsewhere now facing threats. LUCE Mass is great, but not the people to call for ICE sightings in Maine. Try this guide!

Hey y'all, I'm taking the very rare step of cancelling my weekly office hours tomorrow b/c of some *personal news* (it's my anniversary and I'll be out of town for a few days) I'll be back for regular office hours on Jan 30!

I'll tell you why Trump admin dropped the appeal. Bc they were never gna win. DEI is legal. That's obvious. This was never about the "law." It was a test to see how much pressure you need to gain compliance. It seems all it took was one shoddy letter.

if you cant instruct your local police to surround schools to protect them from ice because youre scared the cops will turn around and instead help kidnap children then you should state that plainly and clearly

This is straight up fascist tyranny and complete disregard of the courts. Completely unconstitutional and illegal. Every resident has a moral obligation to reject this.

No! No no no. Fund things that ACTUALLY protect neighbors, like community organizing or housing. I am not open to any talk of more funds for local law enforcement until i see the very first on-duty patrol officer ANYWHERE do *at least* what random Mpls residents are doing every day to resist ICE.

No. No no no. Body cameras have always been a boondoggle that directs more public funds into policing and surveillance, and have never changed the fundamental problems at the core of our law enforcement practices. They are more often used against residents than for their benefit.

Just move to Somerville already

More of a guideline, really

I think it's nice that the FBI is compiling a voluntary list of sadistic fascists to consult in the future Sure, the records retention is going to be bad but I have hope for the skill level of forensic hackers of future antifa bureaucrats

Corey Booker announcing his legislation to make ICE wear body cameras a week after the entire Republican Party excused an ICE officer murdering somebody by showing the video the officer took with his own cell phone of him murdering them is a testament to how stupid Democrats think all of us are.

When a majority say "ICE is bad, but the Democrats don't have good answers for anything" it is both (a) largely correct and (b) a recipe for the chuckleheads in power to just turn the nazi dial down a few notches and remain in power for much longer Which is awful We need to offer an alternative

To be honest, I have owned a broiler pan for several decades and definitely never used it for the intended purpose either

here is a thing that gets me: imagine watching this video, and the other videos, the horrible ones, having grown up in america, and not being able to figure out who the good guys are. what was your media diet? how could you possibly see the world that way?

Imagine if the message was instead "This is tyranny. Do whatever you can think of to repel the invaders, as non-violently as possible. I will direct state and city police to assist or at least stay out of the way."

This is obviously vile. It is also obviously a sign that perimeter control and community patrols are being effective, if the agents are reduced to doing this instead of kidnapping.

I don't think i say enough how much i appreciate my state rep @electerika.bsky.social

We need get ICE out of Massachusetts. There are 3 key things we can do in Massachusetts to protect our neighbors from ICE. 1. Stop MA police, courts, prisons, and jails from helping ICE 2. End the surveillance state from targeting us 3. Hold ICE agents accountable for breaking state laws

The success of ICE watch interfering with ICE’s mission is almost certainly why DHS keeps sending more agents to Minneapolis. They used to execute their raids with just a few agents. Now they need 6-12 to even begin to disrupt the social pressure to be nonviolent.

Sometimes apparently you CAN fix him

The Somerville City Council approved a tax incentive plan which, together with incentives offered by the state, is bringing new jobs to Somerville. Here's to the use of creative incentives (and responsible clawback protections) to spur economic growth! Major props to all involved, incl OSPCD.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.

I like this guy. youtu.be/El0CLduLgew?...

This is an interesting observation. It certainly lends credence to the idea that there is not enough federal force available to subdue a populace without local and state law enforcement assistance. Which then raises the question of what local forces will be directed to do now, and will they comply?

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
