Massive kudos to the people of Minneapolis. It'll be -10° and they'll march in the streets to protest fascism and oppression.

Protests are not the only way to resist. Vote. Participate in mutual aid. Volunteer with local community organizations - especially Hispanic ones. Most importantly, educate yourself and talk to your family. Understand the laws and nuances at play in our world.

"Hiring deportation judges" about wraps up the Trump administration/regime imo. This is a fascist president. Full stop.

If you're in an anti-Trump or anti-ICE protest and it turns violent, you don't need to be a hero. That could get you killed. Try to get to safety, and encourage others to do so as calmly as you can. You & other protestors need to live another day.

You have a constitutional right to assemble and protest ICE & the federal government. You should do so peacefully, for your own sake and the sake of those around you. But don't let anyone convince you it's the wrong thing to do.

If you ever see ICE, or masked people you assume are ICE, questioning/harassing someone, please film it if you deem it reasonably safe to do so. That is your right. If they tell you that you can't do that, state that you are exercising your 1st Amendment rights. Most of all, stay safe.

If you see an ICE agent, or a cop-looking masked person, in your neighborhood, you do not have to talk to them. If they knock on your door, do not open it until you verify that they have a warrant signed by a neutral magistrate. Use those words. 1/2

The U.S. has over 4.7 million actively licensed #RegisteredNurses (RNs), making nursing the nation's largest healthcare profession, with estimates for total nurses (including LPNs/LVNs) reaching over 5 million. #AlexPretti was an ICU nurse murdered by #ICE In his memory 💔 #SheShed

The federal govt (Pam Bondi) is essentially telling Minnesota that, if they want ICE to stop killing people, they need to get rid of sanctuary cities, give over information about voters and SNAP benefits, and, well... let ICE do what it wants. Good compromise.

Don't just get angry over the deaths of Renee Good & Alex Preti. Get angry over the thousands of people wrongfully imprisoned in ICE detention camps. Get angry over the children taken from their families.

Also worth mentioning. Bending and re-writing the rules to enable state violence and oppression is nothing new in this country. What the Trump govt might not've considered was how many White citizens would actively resist ICE.

Seems like the spark begins in Minneapolis again. Something's caught on video in that city, and then things really escalate. I hope that, this time, it won't just end with apologies, statues being taken down, and black squares on Instagram.

How many more people will ICE kill in Minneapolis alone?

Jared Kushner's "New Gaza" will, in all likelihood, be a capitalist hellscape with migrant slave labor and Dubai-like unsustainable opulence. The people of Gaza will probably be priced out and put in prison-like, low-quality housing.

So....... a new dictator's club just dropped? Real helpful. Definitely gonna fix things.

Stay safe out there, Charlotte

So, Iran is inevitably going to collapse to some extent. Three guesses who's likely to say they want to "temporarily restore order" or "ensure American interests" in the country.

"Wage garnishment" means "legalized wage theft" btw

Important to remember union-busting videos btw

Friendly reminder that Savvy Games and EA are mostly owned and greatly financed by the Saudi government, a government made rich by oil that funds war in Yemen and supports modern slavery.

Not at all shocked that ICE just killed a woman in Minnesota. #ICEmurder

Dont forget that Trump's brand of fascism isn't just bombs and police raids. It's also degrading the rule of law, targeting political opponents, enriching himself, and weakening institutions that keep the public informed and thinking critically.

Eliminating term limits, identifying and persecuting a minority demographic, eroding trust in anyone but the leader, massive corporate funding, violent & aggressive nationalism, and overt military action against claimed threats. These are some necessary elements of fascism.

SHOW ME WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE

Emoji of the year

Trump mentioned the oil business in Venezuela while talking about indicting the country's kidnapped authoritarian president! That's 2026 bingo already!

The fascist d!ck measuring contest called Operation Southern Spear is wrecking the Venezuelan economy as shipping shuts down and flights are redirected. This is economic terrorism on top of a violent assault.

So, which oil company or companies paid for the war with Venezuela? When will US courts leverage Maduro's freedom for access to Venezuelan oil?

Oh. So this is the best use of our government and military. Got it.

Happy New Year, all! Let's get thru this year and vote in the midterms!

So, unilateral airstrikes seem to be Trump's weapon of choice. I wonder if these strikes will ever stray into US territory to "take down domestic terrorists" or something.

So, in case you didn't know, this country's federal government is very much in the "silencing anti-government media" stage. Trump's talking about canceling the licenses of outlets that speak against him.

Something something alienation of the oppressed "other" something something steps to making a fascist dystopia

Found the Epstein files!

Do u think ICE considers the whole "random kidnappers pretending to be ICE while terrorizing Black & Brown neighborhoods" a bad thing?

Remember that national and global elites will only ever act in their own personal interests (comfort, money). The only way to change the world is to disrupt their traffic & business and/or make oppressive systems unprofitable.

A few authors I like, in case you haven't heard of them: Kimberlé Crenshaw Angela Davis Ibram X Kendi Robin Wall Kimmerer Andreas Malm Brian Selznick Andrew A. Smith Emily Zarka

Environmental catastrophes like what's going on in Washington state *will* become more common. We're at that point. And guess who can mitigate/combat that trend? Not just civilians; it will take governments, which are unlikely to do anything without pressure.

Yes, the files are important. They are a showcase of corruption and moral evil. But even they are minor compared to ICE raids, destruction of the social safety net, and the wider cultural shift toward anti-"woke" nationalist bigotry. But maybe the files will catalyze resistance.

We need Luffy protests in the states. We need Nepal action. We need Jakarta resistance. Anger. Relentless action. Marches that scare politicians, not ones sanctioned and guarded by the police. More than #nokings, we need to #killfascism.

Social justice and anti-fascism were "cool" in 2020. But now, the oppression is done more in offices and halls of congress - as well as on the streets. Why is resistance so weak, so lackluster? Because the oppressors are prepared this time. We need #antifascistaction f*cking yesterday.

Homelessness is rising. Politicians, police departments, etc. are pre-emptively giving in to fascist demands. Public healthcare is being weakened and gutted like a fish. Public education is being mocked, demonized, and defunded. It's high f*ckin time to #throwbricks.

Don't tell me Trump is gonna order an invasion of Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files. That'd be hilarious, in a sick way.

Why is every other movie that comes out of Hollywood about hyper-white materialistic White people in Pinterest-perfect HGTV dream homes with... oh

There's a sign on the side of at the road in Charlotte, at the intersection of Grier and East W. T. Harris. It says "He sold you flowers and ICE took him". It's about roadside vendor that ICE chased into the woods and abducted a couple weeks ago.

Governments ought to protect all of their people, lest they give birth to revolutionaries.

I love #Wiktionary

I love Charlotte, NC #charlottenc #clt #fucktrump

FIFA... you mean the... soccer organization... right?
