When it comes to Trump’s immigration policy, cruelty has always been the point. But now anti-immigrant animus is being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

The story of the Border Patrol’s founding offers a lesson for the century that followed, and a rejoinder to the agency’s modern myth: Chaos is not just the absence of a border; it is also the consequence of trying to maintain one.

Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out. It’s. Weird. I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing. I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.

Even if the world can't help America against ICE and Trump directly, I hope they at least boycott the World Cup. No spectators.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

I will say that I slightly disagree with the notion that we shouldn't be pointing out the innocence of Alex Pretti. Yes, they should not be killing even criminals. I 100% agree. But I think pointing out the kind of person Alex was is also important for other reasons.

Pointing this stuff out isn't necessarily to say that it would be okay if he was guilty. I think the fact that he was who he was makes one thing extremely clear: that no matter how innocent you are, they will still find a reason to kill you & try to spin the narrative afterwards

That no amount of playing by the rules will insulate you from the fascism. I think that's a crucial wedge for some folks. It's a big part of what's mobilizing so many people right now.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

Looks like terrorizing immigrants in cities across America doesn't come cheap. Spending by ICE on guns and other weapons in 2025 not only dwarfed its spending during the Biden administration but also during Trump’s first term.

Apparently, Youtube doesn't want to show my video about 5 year old Liam being kidnapped by ICE. OOPs, I shared it here where folks will see it and share it anyway. youtube.com/shorts/Iaeg3...

The House Oversight Committee voted to hold bothBill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after they failed to appear to testify in a probe involving Jeffrey Epstein.

For years, I recommended AGAINST using Amazon/Ring doorbells, cams, and assistants. So hopefully y'all did that already. This just a checkin reminder as you look behind you. They are weapons being used against us and our entire community. Always learn more at liberationtoolbox.io

There are now at least 100 House members signed on to our effort to impeach Kristi Noem. Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:

Trump is crime-ing 24/7—a-griftin’ and a-graftin’.

Not to overstate it, but there was another 33 year old immigrant who was persecuted for welcoming children, providing food & healthcare, advocating for marginalized people, & speaking against the inordinately wealthy and religious far-right. This time the people got it right and picked him. #Zohran

It’s the guns. And it’s unchecked power. And fomenting bigotry. And lack of action. And enabling monsters. And demonizing victims. And cult allegiance. And gloryifying violence. And turning away.

What I learned from how children were treated through Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Palestine, church abuse, antivaxers, child labor, the Epstein files, is that no elected leader is going to save us. We are the ones who have to keep us safe. From them.

I’m grieving so many people I had trusted as elders and mentors and leaders, but showed themselves as g*nocide apologists and viciously against immigrants and children. I have hope for them, I won’t give up on them, but I cannot go with them, and I will not find safety with them in the same room.

I’m very honored & happy to be interviewed by @npr.org to share about my hospital chaplaincy work & why it’s so hard to talk about death, dying, & grief. NPR has always been my dream interview. Thank you to the amazing team who made me sound smarter than I really am. 🫶🙏 www.npr.org/2025/12/22/n...

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

When people say your ideas about the self is not rooted in a materialist reality, that you are "othering" yourself , it is them demanding you to ascribe to western rationality, THEY are exotifying YOU.

Orientalists will demand you to reify what is to them abstract, what is to you a fact of life. People think "orientalism" just means "racism against asians" when it means people of the western world insisting that anything that exists in "the orient" must has its equivalent in The Enlightened West
