A friend rec'd this one to me and it ended up being one of the best books I read in the past year. Highly recommend.

Interesting. Does he regret making that piece or does he refuse to engage in discussion of his work?

Update on a Security Incident Involving Third-Party Customer Service | Discord At Discord, protecting the privacy and security of our users is a top priority. That’s why it’s important to us that we’re transparent with them about events that impact their personal information.

I have zero confidence in their ability to protect said data. discord.com/press-releas...

the older i get the faster time goes by and the more it makes sense to me when vampires in fiction are like "yeah didn't really do anything for 30 years just kinda took it easy"

Gabbard Arranges Trump Call With FBI Agents After Georgia Election Center Search Tulsi Gabbard’s role in brokering the call and President Trump’s decision to directly press frontline agents on the inquiry are outside the bounds of typical procedure, The Times has learned.

The director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard arranged a call between FBI agents and President Trump where he praised their work searching a Georgia election center. Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as Trump uses the government to support his false claims of widespread voter fraud.

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Build Long-Term Intrastructure, Not Moments
ICE relies on exhaustion and isolation. Counter that.
Sustainable actions
• Offer ongoing skills: admin help, grant writing, meal trains.
• Help orgs maintain databases, follow-ups, logistics. Use Your Platform
As A Tool, Not A Stage
If you have reach, treat it like a scalpel-not a megaphone.
Acceptable posting
• Direct links to vetted orgs.
• Clear calls to fund, volunteer, or attend specific actions.
• Amplifying immigrant-led voices without additional commentary.
Red flags
• Self-congratulatory language.
• Trauma reposting.
• Centering your fear, anger, or
"awakening." Pressure Power
Where You Actually Have Leverage
ICE doesn't operate in a vacuum.
Effective pressure
• Local officials (mayors, sheriffs, DAs).
• Employers complicit in raids.
• Landlords collaborating with enforcement.
Not effective
• Yelling at strangers online.
• Vague "abolish ICE" posts with no local follow-through. Decide Your Risk Level-Then Act Accordingly
Let's be honest, not everyone can do everything.
Low risk:
Donate, translate, admin support, childcare.
Medium risk:
Court accompaniment, community organizing.
High risk:
Civil disobedience (only with training + legal prep).

In addition to these suggestions, reach out to your representatives with phone calls (5calls.org) and/or emails. Take action in the way only you can be effective and encourage others to do the same.

The Anti Performative ICE Resistance Guide
(What Actually Helps)
from The Financial Diet Fund the Work
ICE enforcement succeeds, in part, because people can't afford lawyers.
So,
• Set up recurring monthly donations (even $10-$25) to trusted orgs like: RAICES, National Immigration Project, Immigrant Defense Project, Legal Aid Justice Center, Amica, ACLU, local immigrant bond funds (these matter most), and many more.
• Prioritize legal defense + bond funds.

If your help disappears when the news cycle does, it's not helping as much as it could. Show Up Offline
Material ways to assist
• Court accompaniment (quiet presence, documentation).
• Childcare or rides for families attending hearings.
• Translation support (if fluent).
Mutual aid coordination through existing networks. Protect those being persecuted, from yourself
Well-meaning people can cause real harm.
DON'T
• Share raid rumors without verification.
• Post locations, schedules, or identifying details.
• Pressure undocumented people to
"tell their story."
DO
• Ask: Does this increase their risk?
• Default to privacy over visibility.

Fuck ICE.

Sharing screenshots of a great post from The Financial Diet on IG that compiles some helpful jumping-off points if you’re still feeling helpless and don’t know what to do.
