truly fuck tech bros

I'm not talking about US politicians I'm talking about normal people.

I see people fighting back and organizing every fucking day. ICE hasn't met their recruitment goals. They haven't met their kidnapping goals. That's WHY they keep escalating.

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

Crocheting lace on the edge of a shirt because I want something to do while I slowly collect the stuff to make a corset, then the chemise, corset cover and drawers, and finally the dress. Esp considering that I plan to trim all the undies with handmade lace.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Image of an X post screenshot. The post from @CBotTh ... (C-Bo the Eggman) reads, "Banning words should do the trick," posted 20 hours ago. Below it, a Politico post from @politico (1 day ago) states, "Energy Dept. adds 'climate change' and 'emissions' to banned words list," with the Politico logo. The image includes profile pictures and timestamps.

Censorship is the mark of a weak regime.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

ABOLISH ICE.

Pass it on.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

What many don't realize, is that Ukrainian strikes from last 2 years on russian refineries are always aiming at specific part of refinery.

Cracking Units.

This basically stops Russia from ability to refine crude into useful fuels.

This is why Russian issue of lack of fuels is snowballing.

ICE needs to be abolished immediately.

GOP

Last Week: "We control everything."

Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable 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…

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

I fucking hope they go through with it. Gawwwd I love Portland!

They didn't teach us pig latin at school so I never really fitted in at the fancier petting zoos

‘War-ravaged’ cities don’t typically have artisanal kombucha on every corner.

Wait THIS IS HOW I LEARN SHE DIED? No wonder I’ve gotten two different notifications from different publications about her work 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I might be stupid. Rest in peace, Doctor. We’ll miss you.

There is a difference between righteous anger, directed at injustice, and hateful anger, directed at those who are different. Authoritarian regimes deliberately conflate the two to silence criticism and create false equivalence. It's important we don't let those in power succeed in this endeavor.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial

100%

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

Hey I can’t believe I have reason to be concerned to say this, but I’m saying it anyway. Fuck Donald Trump, Fuck ICE, fuck all the goddamn fascists.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.
