Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror.

It's up to us. Just us.

Since the introduction of body cams, the annual number of murders by police *has gone up*. They are not tools for preventing wrongdoing by police, and they aren't even tools for later accountability. They are tools for mass surveillance, full stop.

This is bad, and every liberal that spent the last ten years demanding this is to blame. The roving death squads now have even more power to surveil you.

If you thought that All Cops are Bastards was hyperbole, they've got Fish & Wildlife cops out there using billy clubs to protect the fascist death squads from people.

It's clear that people in the US sincerely believe that the military and other state-sanctioned forces are not like the rest. There are a number of deadly rude awakenings, past, present, and future, to shatter that fantasy. The state will not be protecting you from the state.

"...the U.S. gave [the Japanese fascist] Unit 731 leaders immunity from prosecution, and withheld evidence of their war crimes from the tribunal, in exchange for the data from the unit's medical experiments. The U.S. government kept the details of Unit 731 and its immunity deal secret for decades."

Art of Tortuguita amidst plants, a sunrise, and forest. Texts says TORT 1996-2023. "The abolitionist mission isn't done until every prison is empty. When there are no more cops, when the land has been given back, that's when it's over. I don't expect to live to see that day, necessarily. I mean, I hope so. But I smoke."

Three years ago today, Georgia state police murdered Tortuguita as part of their drive to destroy the Weelaunee Forest and build a deadly police militarization center.

Tort fought for a world without police and capitalism, and so should we. Viva, viva Tortuguita.

the horror of this is compounded by the fact that the whipple building sits on the same military fort where 1600+ Dakota, mostly women and children were held in a concentration camp in 1863, where over 300 died

This is a great, comprehensive debunking of Erica Chenoweth's popular myths about non-violent protest.

I also recommend @petergelderloos.bsky.social's rebuttal of Chenoweth's work:

Norway was 92-7% self-sufficient for many years, but expands capacity for data centers & international export… Yes, there is more lower-carbon energy production, but is it renewable?
