Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

For the ruling class, "property" is more important than justice and human rights. From that perspective, it makes sense that they they think robots and AI are more important than real people. They care far more about the machines in their factories being sabotaged than people being murdered.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

I also appreciate how the tv costs prove another maxim about the US: luxuries are cheap and essentials are unaffordable.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show that ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

United States immigration authorities are moving to dramatically expand their social media surveillance, with plans to hire nearly 30 contractors to sift through posts, photos, and messages to target people for deportation.

Also we must start thinking of transitional justice.

Holding the Line Through Tear Gas and Censorship “There is no neutral ground in this moment. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit,” says Eman Abdelhadi.

I talked with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social about immigration raids and the violent repression of protesters in Chicago, the administration’s war on free speech and the organized left, and lessons from our upcoming book, Read This When Things Fall Apart.

As long as the far right shapes public opinion, and mainstream parties follow public opinion, the far right dominates politics, whether in government or not.

“A spokesman for Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said the state has funding to pay SNAP food benefits through October but only enough money to cover the first week of the month for WIC, the nutrition benefit for Women, Infants and Children.”

And encourage co-ops, etc. where housing is housing and not financial equity.

What you do guides the thinking and action of many others to become more strategic and caring. I appreciate your writing and podcast so much. Thank you for giving us language and frameworks within which we can move.

Fascists will invent excuses to escalate their own violence. We are victims of state violence. Do not blame those resisting authoritarianism for the violence that is always coming anyway.

I disagree. Science, history and free speech exist for us to engage with. All are knowledge production practices, not just something to passively observe.

Unmask ICE. We now can prove the masks are specifically to shield from accountability— do you think the guy who was recently put on leave for tackling a woman would have been if masked? Nope.

No person. Not just vet.

I HATE the digital “share code” that has replaced my BRP. I have no physical UK id that is not expired. I don’t want to carry my US passport every day. I live 2 mi from the border with Ireland- please just give me a card that shows both Irish and British authorities I am here with permission.

Fascism is extremism.

Anti-fascism is not.

We’re living in a period of reality inversion and moral inversion.

In the ground. I’ll look through the photos you’ve posted and see what I can find. But I didn’t even think of onions in a grow bag! Less need for more raised beds that way… Genius!

Do you have a photo you could share of them under cultivation? Just trying to picture how much space this would occupy in a garden. I have dreams to grow a year’s worth myself 🙂

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Start by not using the regime’s language to describe undocumented residents.

It’s going to take much more than cancelling a couple of subscriptions to topple fascism, but it is something.

I want to be clear about what I'm saying here.

I'm not denying the danger.
I'm not denying the threat.

I AM saying that we live in a geographically huge country where the vast majority oppose this administration.

They don't have the power to work on that scale.
Tho they want us to believe they do

Fascists are responsible for their own violence. Any retaliation is their own violence.

Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican'

Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping.

Here, he tells us his story.

You know what makes me weep? Selfless acts of bravery in the face of challenging odds and oppression.

I am seeing this every day by UK protestors facing arrest because of their support for the people of Gaza and Americans who are refusing to submit to fascism.

Government shutdown. Stop the state from predating its people.

Black text on a beige background, made to look like the cover of a newspaper. The masthead features the text: "February 24, May 19 & September 15. VIRTUAL MEETUP. bit.ly/JournalistsMeetupReg" Below is a headline, text, and black and white photo of handcuffed hands: "Journalists and Media Makers Concerned About Criminalization. We are in a time of escalating criminalization, targeting Black and Brown people, migrants, trans people, poor people, and those involved in resistance movements, as well as media makers and journalists. We cannot be neutral on the question of our own safety and humanity, and more and more journalists are joining the effort to resist criminalization. Our power in this resistance comes from the connections we have to one another. IC invites journalists and media makers concerned about criminalization to come together to better establish networks of mutual support, and share strategies for combating criminalization through media."

September 15 at 3 PM ET: If you're a journalist or media maker concerned about criminalization, join us and IC Abolition Journalism Fellow @lewispants.bsky.social at our next online space to share strategies, connect, and build networks of support: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/events/all/m...
