man the stuff i am seeing on IG from the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

I am reminded of when UAW 2320 members tried to propose a resolution calling on the AFL-CIO to disaffiliate both NIC and NBPC (the unions for ICE and CBP) and leadership wouldn't even take the resolution to national. Maybe they should circle back to that idea...

My client denies these defamatory accusations. He would never beat someone for a Big Mac! This is a Kangaroo Court.

I seldom buy clothes. However, ...

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Apropos of nothing, remembering the old Chinese author Lu Xun: “Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.” ― Lu Xun

I will canvass for whichever candidate runs on putting this man in prison in 2028.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

Don't know what else to do today, so I inked this angry duck

Keith Porter was the first person murdered by ICE this year.

Not even $7k has been raised. The fucking guy that murdered that white lady had how much money at this point? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne...

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I sent out 2000 whistles midweek and packed up 2750 more today. Now I'm gonna make taquitos and work on sustaining myself for another week of ABSOLUTELY FUCK THOSE GUYS

The amount of compartmentalizing I do these days is unhealthy, but what else can you do? I still need to function for my kids.

every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

one thing i'd add is that there are thousands of comparatively-powerless people out there fighting and marching and AND THEY DIDN'T NEED A BAZILLION PHONE CALLS SAYING 'HEY PLEASE DO SOMETHING' TO MAKE THEM DO IT

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Alex J Pretti. That was his name. He had a YouTube channel, and a Linkdin profile. I think he was a nurse. He was 37 and had a permit to carry. www.youtube.com/@alexjpretti...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

To put an even sharper point on it... The moral call is to BEAR witness, not to consumption. In other words: to testimony, not passively offering eyeballs to horrific content.

The place they are trying to purchase is just south of Fredericksburg, down 95 near Randolph Macon. Processing center and 10,000 bed holding site. They’re going to start coming across the Potomac y’all.

Fascists. All of this is illegal. All of this is evil. Do not ever let a Republican talk about law and order ever again. Shout them down. Shame them. Every elected Republican owns this illegal domestic terrorism and murder.

ICE are indistinguishable from a terrorist organization

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

oh y'all, it is still MONTHS until the auction and the quilters are like, "let's fuckin GO"

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

Better training so that they can more efficiently kill us? GTFO.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Counterpoint: you can and some of you will give yourselves honest to G-d PTSD watching it. Doing that will make you less able to maintain your life, to experience the joy you need to be resilient, to nurture the relationships that will support you, and to be an effective activist.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life. They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"
