homero y hijo

Every time my dad recalls the time he and his family were rounded up and taken out to a New Economic Zone, he always noted how young the guys with guns were—just kids, so eager to prove themselves in their little units, they were always the cruelest.

Uhh who says capitalism doesn’t innovate! A surveillance drone can soon bring you Starbucks ❤️

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck. Wonder where they got the idea😬 Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

Marketplace platform that enables Nazis and fascists under the guise of free speech has now passed the big banks to become the most valuable company in Canada. Shopify’s leadership will now have even more resources to push for extreme right-wing political causes in Canada.

Preview of something neat.

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

I always go back to this curioscat answer, I just love how the drawing turned out in this one

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

you'll feel good Becoming by existing in the positive over the negative. not "well i'm this because i'm not x" but "i'm this because i want x. want to be x. do x. be with x" and want becomes will, will becomes am. action over abstaining. embodiment versus opposition. drugs. sex. transition now 𖦹𖦹𖦹

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

Last fall, I attended the premiere of a film that meant a lot to me. In late January, all of its hundreds of planned screenings were canceled without explanation. For @defector.com, I went digging:

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

Shout outs to the homies Payola and Radiored en Puerto Rico for ultimately turning down the gig, I know how difficult it can be to stick to your principles and refuse the check especially in an American colony.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody. Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

This man was a permanent resident with no criminal anything, not even a traffic conviction. He was taken when he went to replace his green card, which he'd lost.

The only Superman worth watching. wearthepeace Why should you boycott the new Superman film that they’re trying to convince you is pro-Palestinian? DC Studios’ parent Company, Warner Bros Discovery, has ties to the occupation. @mommunism.bsky.social

Some local bar organizations have been partnering with the NLG to organize attorney of the day/legal observer programs — highly recommend going, just went to one yesterday

Hey artists, quote with your woman art spreading my older lesbians propaganda (that's basically all I have for them, apolocheese u_u)

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Me when I’m extremely innocent and not hiding anything

Telling fortune to the stars 💥

Genocidal settler imaginaries. The throughline is clear. Aspirations toward ethno-states are violent aspirations.

anyway

These people work themselves to the bone so we can have food to eat, and this is what our government is doing to them in return. This makes me beyond angry and sad. Every farm worker has done infinitely more for this country than the entirety of ICE ever could.

it is unacceptable for ANYONE to be disappeared. if your solidarity doesn't include sex workers then fuck off.

Philosophy professor Jonathan A. Caravello of California State University, an observer, was also snatched by ICE in Camarillo, CA yesterday. He hasn't been released.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

looks into the camera

Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha says he’s been suspended from Substack, a platform where white supremacists publish without issue. I can’t recall this happening to any prominent writers in the past.

Happy 4th!

When we finally start to build community and solidarity.

Finally, some good fucking news

I look to this piece by Seth Tobocman and keep it to my heart when I need it

I think if we take away anything from the trans medicare coverage ban being taken out of the bill it's that pressure works. As stupid and futile as "call your reps!" can feel, we saw a direct result of it. Now you have to call and email your House reps saying you need the ICE funding gone.

Agree with all of this. Dems did good in the Senate. Republicans are scared and trying to push this through before public opposition builds. Now's the time make some noise if you've got a GOP rep - let them know you and their constituents are watching closely.

I don’t know as much about the racist histories of Canada and Mexico, but the amount of things in the US that go back to racism is staggering

I painted this one!

palestinian lesbians once again ✨ { #art #pride }

Every mainstream Democrat who is hanging back on endorsing Mamdani is responsible for emboldening these absolute fascists

Blaming people getting detained and removed by ICE for not handling their “paperwork” is an obvious indicator that someone does not understand the US immigration system and still chooses to comment. It's extra bad coming from people who are next on the menu, too.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride
