Eloquent illustration of the fact that you can use administrative burden incredibly effectively for resistance purposes.

It's so funny to me that people are writing "F*ck ICE" on signs.

Like sweetie this is the emergency that calls for breaking the glass on the swear jar.

The Americans Who Saw All This Comingโ€”but Were Ignored and Maligned Call them the Cassandras: the peopleโ€”mostly not white and maleโ€”who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they โ€œalarmists,โ€ and how did โ€œanti-alarmismโ€ become cool?

This article made me feel some solidarity with the other Chicken Littles since Trump descended that effin gold escalator. I'm still angry with the people who wrote me off, but it still feels awful to be able to say, "I told you so."

Bellingcat with the analysis & annotation of when Alex Prettiโ€™s handgun left the scene, removed by an agent. Plus thoughtful warnings before the shooting so those who wish to can avoid it easily.

Alex Prettiโ€™s last words were โ€œare you ok?โ€ said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

On YouTube I see day-in-the-life & travel bloggers use them successfully in creating content.

These ppl also have phones for selfies. No either or when it comes to cameras!

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out.

๐Ÿšจ NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

Iโ€™m working towards digital nomading for 4 months. (Right now it looks like it will work out with a 4 month subletter who is currently in the application & lease process)

Feels like a strange time to go, but Iโ€™m sure there will be plenty of resistance work to do 4 months down the line

Another US citizen being abducted.

She then escapes, and they nab her again.

How many more of these scenes can we watch?

This isn't immigration control.

It is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Individuals need to change their withholding % with their employers to withhold federal income taxes.

Itโ€™s not up the business, in that case.

Businesses would have to take action to withhold business level taxes for sure

question is:

will blue state tax payer withhold tax payments in return?

Post from Amanda Gormanโ€™s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Canโ€™t, canโ€™t, canโ€™t

Canโ€™t ignore the judicial branch and fly detainees to El Salvador

Canโ€™t take the power of the purse bc thatโ€™s Congressโ€™s

Canโ€™t take jurisdiction away from a state

(I hope youโ€™re right. I hope the states are stronger ๐Ÿ’ช)
