NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

ICE and the Israeli Military Are 2 Sides of the Same Coin — We Must Resist Both Opposing ICE in the US while backing genocide in Gaza is senseless. These struggles are intertwined.

BUFFALO'S GENOCIDE PROFITEERS Lockheed Martin 2221 Niagara Falls Blvd. Niagara Falls The world's largest military company, Lockheed Martin manufactures multiple weapons, including fighter jets, systems that are routinely used in war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Northrop Grumman Amherst Systems 1740 Wehrle Dr. Buffalo Israel's manned aircraft missile systems were developed by Northrop Grummon, which has also collaborated with Lockheed Martin for the production of F-35fighter jets and Apache attack helicopters. Milton CAT 400 Wheeler St. Tonawanda A multinational manufacturer of construction machinery, its equipment is used by the Israel military in the demolition of Palestinian homes, the construction of illegal settlements, in military checkpoints, and assaults against Palestinians. 4 VILIIL4 HEIT Weiland Group 70 Sayre Street Buffalo This German-owned plant makes military ammunition casings. In 2025, t shipped 162 tons of brass cartridge cases to an Elbit-owned ammunition factory in the illegal Ramat HaSharon settlement in occupied Palestine. Elbit directly supplies munitions to Israeli forces. Weiland Group has past ties to the Nazi party, including using forced POW labor. Northrop Grumman Amherst Systems 65 Lawrence Bell Dr. Buffalo Israel used US-made Apache helicopters for assaults on Palestinian towns in the West Bank and expel Palestinians from their homes. InVEr Calspan 4455 Genesee St. Cheektowaga Maker of aeronautical parts and a subsidiary of TransDigm, which supplies parts for Israel Apache helicopters. Moog, Inc. 7021 Seneca St. & 500 Jamison Rd. Elma Aerospace and military company that works with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin to produce fighter jets and armored ground vehicles used to occupy Palestine.

the genocide profiteer map of Buffalo has expanded with the discovery that a plant bought by a German company has been shipping tons and tons of cartridge casings to an Elbit plant to be turned in to live ammunition. & a reminder that many federal agents, including ICE, have trained in Israel.

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

too much Derrida for Stancil

Local immigration activist told me ICE tries to cook the numbers by releasing terminally ill (often through their medical neglect i.e. torture) people just before they die. Whatever deaths they announce in their facilities, there's more deaths on their hands. #abolishICE

i'm looking at a video of tear gassed children in portland

when i look up, all i see is swastikas

this isn't a doom post to the extent that I think the people showing out at protests are accomplishing an absolute shit ton in terms of materially confronting ICE & CPB & delegitimizing them

man, life is weird. just finished Edwin Rolfe's collected. Rolfe fought against the fascists in Spain. then was chatting with someone in Spain who said the problem with Spain is that it didn't do enough de-nazification after Franco's regime fell. Spanish Civil War on the brain?

imagine Iran bombed U.S. nuclear, missile, and radar defense sites in the name of supporting anti-ICE protests.

ok, now see if you can follow the reasoning here, and...

If 31 Israelis had been massacred today it would be the start of a weeks worth of coverage, complete with personal interest stories, political condemnations, family interviews and endless commentary;
Instead we get virtual silence because it was 'only' another 31 Gazan Palestinians

Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

dedication: "So now the people delivering groceries — which...is a very low-risk thing — have been trained to know that in case ICE grabs them, they should never write the list of addresses down digitally. You write it on a physical piece of paper, and if ICE grabs you, you eat the piece of paper."

will fit right in next to genocide denial

YouTube video by KSAT 12 Protesters detained, hit by tear gas near Dilley family detention facility

Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held.

Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio.

Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.

Look, I don't care if he took a shit on their cars and wiped his ass with their face masks, this is fascist propaganda and the NYT is fucking disgusting.

the white supremacist ruling class in the U.S. is going to try to redeem itself and the blood in the streets in the eyes of liberals through imperialism ('regime change' i.e. state destruction/populace immiseration). there's a strong chance it will work because that's how deranged this country is.

Shelter, Goods & Activities x The Sameer Project The inititaive was originally formed to secure, purchase, and distribute tents in Southern Gaza but in January 2026, the campaign was rebranded to "Shelter, Goods & Activities" to cover not only tents...

‼️The Sameer Project has had to reduce water distributions by 50%, pause grocery vouchers for 110 families, and has had to stop music classes due to a large decline in donations.

They may have to stop food distributions too.

We cannot let this happen. Donate today! chuffed.org/project/1132...

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

Yesterday - An Insane pogrom in the Palestinian village of Masafer Yatta

Houses burned, Palestinians critically Injured, Ambulance vehicles delayed

This is not 20th century Europe, It’s happening on live, and the world is completely silent

AFGE, the largest federal employee union, is calling for the immediate termination of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller for smearing their slain union member Alex Pretti as a “domestic terrorist.”

bluesky ready for portmanteau ICEreal? (too corny?)
ready to think about the material, cultural, and ideological co-constitutive relations between U.S.-backed apartheid & genocide abroad and ethnic cleansing, racial profiling, and increasingly open violence at home? well, i'm trying to get there.

100%. Wish I could teach the whole damn thing in those contexts.

everything is fucked but still glad to be teaching Stone Butch Blues tomorrow

man, i'm loving this guy's whole inventory
