This really seems like ICE tried to orchestrate the assassination of someone who had been opposing them.

Mark Bray wrote a great book about antifascism and its history. He’s now being targeted by right-wing provocateurs.

It is so pretty that it caused me to do a double take the first time I tuned into what they were actually singing about. Hahaha

i went to a tech/social change conference in late Nov 2016, and we spent so much time talking about what β€œsafer” organizing could look like under tyranny

we talked to folks from the Philippines about how all data could be compromised, how we’d have to pass notebooks and encode church sermons

Attention: The U.S. is no longer rated a β€œfull democracy” by many indexes. It is often classified as a β€œflawed democracy” or β€œelectoral democracy with deficits.”

Putting people in mental health jail is still criminalization.

It’s still trying to disappear people who don’t fit into the capitalist demand that everyone be a β€œproductive worker.”

It’s still violent. And that’s not even getting into the fact we know forced commitment does not work.

This past week we sent:

$2,770 in direct cash support to unhoused & recently housed neighbors (including putting money on one of our people’s books)

$1,000 to bond someone out of ICE custody

Thank you all for trusting & supporting us so we can help our neighbors

Love & solidarity πŸ–€πŸ΄πŸ–€

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

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 spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

My stuff is taking a bit longer to process so we should be good for Friday. I'll let you know what reservations are available.

Images like this make it impossible to avoid the conclusion that ICE operates as a state-sponsored terrorist organization tasked with targeting, harassing, & brutalizing those designated as enemies by the regime.

I'm furious on behalf of everyone who was brutalized by ICE today in Chicago. My GOD, this is completely horrible.

I've been in meetings most of today and I just checked messages and see that comrades & friends were part of the people they brutalized today.

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.

Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan MuΓ±oz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

It is again so astonishing to see a group of would be dictators so dead set on pissing off the armed forces. If the businesses, particularly the media companies, were not capitulating so totally, this regime would be a complete flop.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
