It is 2026, and we are no longer building our followings on platforms that can simply evict us the moment we become inconvenient to someone with enough money to buy them.

If a small group of people can deny you access to most or all of a service, then that service is not decentralized. If that group is not elected, then it is also not democratic. In this house, we support pattern recognition.

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

Boosting my own project here so I can move certain thoughts to a new container and stop abusing the org account.

True. Climate change, authoritarianism, and imperialist interventionism are interrelated phenomena that will mutually escalate until a new stable state is reached. The pain of the transition will mirror our foresight and preparedness.

During the Arab Spring, I used to say to my online friends who were being subjected to state domestic terrorism in foreign countries, “Wishing you safety if possible and courage if not.” I now wish the same for the people in Minnesota.

Chris Murphy has criticized Trump for not being as good at deportation as Biden. 'It's not really about immigration' is a way to criticize Trump while still supporting the use of state violence against migrants. Part of what's going on is that the very public brutality of ICE has fostered greater

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

We've added a new report type to the resource map: Neighbor In Need! If you have any unmet needs during this freeze - water, eggs, milk, anything - list it here so your neighbors can help. We also have warming sites and helpful neighbors listed. ntxstormresponse.ushahidi.io/map

With road conditions like this, we focus on three blocks. Beyond that, three miles. Below is a map of warming centers, aid hubs, and neighborhood point people. Add your own responses for your neighbors to find. Every data point is a life saved or a day made better. ntxstormresponse.ushahidi.io/map

Appears this is also true for fascism.

When there's ice on the ground, we don't mess around! We've got volunteers. We've got supplies. We've got the resource map running. We've got us. Come be with us. Go to our post on the North Texas Winter Weather Response for information and ways to pitch in. cooperationdenton.org/north-texas-...

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

New post: North Texas Winter Weather Reponse read

Deeply good intent produces progressively better outcomes through the process of listening, learning, and iterating. True intent is expressed through the pattern of behavior, rather than something that absolves that pattern.

Same people who whinge endlessly about how the removal of confederate monuments “erases history” have no problem erasing actual history

Oof, latest NWS forecasts are showing a slower cold front approach that brings far more ice than sleet or snow for north Texas. The ice accumulation possibilities are getting concerning. It's now the stuff that rips down tree limbs and power lines. This might suck.

Denton friends, we are currently figuring out our disaster response. At the very least, we will have supplies to distribute, a mesh network connecting aid sites, and a warmline that we will respond to with what capacity we have at hand. Thank you.

This present orgy of genocide across the planet feels like it's only getting started. Hold onto the memory of what freedom you have seen. Protect it. Plant it deep.

Amazing.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

If the strike called for January 23 in protest against ICE is to succeed, ordinary people—most of whom are not unionized—will have to walk out and take it upon themselves to disrupt business as usual. No union leadership or organization can do this for us. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🏴

This photo is from an anti-ICE protest. Very worth noticing the language of "unobstructive protest activity." There aren't many examples of successful justice movements succeeding via "unobstructive protest" but even if we say for the sake of argument that it will definitely succeed against ICE, the

Heads up for those in Denton County. As a brown woman, I’ve been carrying my ID, birth cert, naturalization cert, marriage cert, & name change docs since last Jan but the racial profiling stops are about to go up. Please share w/others who will be targeted under this.

The Denton County sheriff's office has partnered with ICE to allow deputies to perform immigration officer duties.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

The problem with a consolidated police state where all law enforcement agrees on core principles is that the answer many have is to “call the police.”

Something more people online might consider is that the vast majority of people commenting on policy are not going to actually organize for those policies. People are just spitballing or thinking out loud. No need to start world war 3 over thoughts/brainstorming.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

Starting now!

there are four states, each with Republican-controlled legislatures, that protect drivers who run over protestors

Tomorrow! We'll be reviewing a video on the organizing practices of the AANES, as well as the Neighbourocracy movement in India. We will be discussing our own historic context, the parallels, and the lessons we can learn as we move through this uncertain time in American politics. See you then!

In case there were doubt about their being collaborators, today at the meeting of the Trump Petrostate Council, Exxon CEO Darren Woods said:

The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.

If most Liberals called stopped calling for more training and started demanding defunding that would be some progress.
