Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

ICE can't win against this. They are weak and scared and confused and have only gotten as far as they have because they lived in a propaganda fantasy. The real world is much colder, and much more full of brave, decent people than they could have imagined. They know they're losing.

And the logical extension is that the entire police state is also the rotten barrel. *Everything* ICE and CBP are doing has been done by local law enforcement in this country. - kidnapping kids -jump out squads -concealing identities -racial profiling -genocide

It'd be soooo mean to remove Chuck Schumer as Leader, you guys! It's his birthday! And he's just a lil guy! And it was his Make-a-Wish request! And the Baileys are finally coming to visit him in DC soon! Just let him have this oneeee more little betrayal of the country? As a treat?

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

I just called Maxine Dexter's office and she actually answered her own phone! So I got to talk with her and she's a "hell no" on DHS funding. All the calls to Congress I've made today have been answered by people, which either means something good, or just not enough people are calling.

The people of your city are not that different from the people of Minneapolis. You can do it too.

there's no reforming ICE, there's no democracy while ICE exists

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This image is saying so much more than it meant to.

The flips from Nov 24 to now have been crazy in local elections, on schoolboards etc. There's lots of fertile ground if you got interest in getting involved. The crazier the federal government gets the more important it is to get into local

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

A kind of boring and uninteresting but also true answer to why the CRM was so much more successful than 2010s ‘Woke 1’ equivalents is that it was much better lead on a technical level.

They're hoping this scares people into never criticizing politicians but in fact it only encourages me to word my insults in whatever way I think will be funniest being read aloud by a semiliterate cop to my doorbell camera. "Um, ma'am? Did you post that 'Gavin Newsom gargles Nazi cum, winky face?'"

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

You have the people with a specific form of quiet, polite niceness named after them chasing you out of restaurants, confronting you at every turn, demolishing your cars, and staying up all night in sub-freezing weather just to ruin your sleep, and you think there's a possibility you might win?

Maybe the most important thing I’ve learned over the past few years is that the solution to what looks like a collective action problem is to just start solving it. People will show up.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work here: ice.0x0.boo It's a tracker for the number of blocks. They're averaging about 200/minute right now. 🤣

If you're in any US city or town that isn't Minneapolis, and you haven't already, now is very much the time to join or organize a rapid response team. Learn from what's happening in Minneapolis. They will come to your city, they will come for your neighbors, and you will be ready.

Randomly thinking about when my mind was blown by a sociology class where they talked about how gangs form due to lack of community, safety and/or economic prospects and the propaganda I had been fed instantly shattered.

Senator Jeff Merkley has a townhall Friday, January 16, 10:00 AM PST @ Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE MLK - Dem seantors should hear a steady line of people demanding they ask for Schumer's resignation

It took decades of work by the abolition movement & many many many different strategies to convince people to support it. Abolition ideology actually got more radical as it got more popular. Support radical politics even as we accept moderate incremental wins. Abolish ICE

Extremely unusual that the Bluesky team is working late on a Sunday night to verify Canadian political parties and elected officials who are rumored to be mulling over a coordinated X ban with Australia and the UK. When there's smoke, there's fire.

You have to be fucking delusional to think that telling people "the thing you feel morally called to do is so scary to us that we will kill you to stop it" will result in fewer people fighting you.

Why I have hope: ICE has made it clear that they will kill you if you seem to oppose them. They think that will stop us. But I know people well enough to know that for every one person who's now too scared to stand up, there are ten who are newly determined to do so, because fuck you, that's why.

ring ring ring ring ring ring ring— melt the ICE! 🎵

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

The least we can do is make someone delete 75 voicemails every morning making it clear that they are participating in something that makes us loathe them!

✨ It's perfecty legal to refuse to hire forner CBP and ICE employees. Throw those resumes in the trash. ✨

ICE needs to be taken apart, brick by brick, and we need to salt the earth.

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
