see you on Dancing With the Stars

“How hard I get when I think about abolishing ICE,” one post reads, accompanied by a photo to demonstrate. “Sorry, I was just thinking about ICE agents rotting behind bars for the rest of their lives,” says another post with a photo.

Authoritarians believe that physical force is the only kind of power that matters. They see stuff like mutual aid as fumdamentally weak. Which is why they're going to lose

They'll do a whole lot of harm before they lose, but they lack the power to win for any length of time

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Courage is largely a product of empathy, which they deride as a weakness.

Build long-term infrastructure, not moments ICE relies on exhaustion and isolation. Counter that. Sustainable actions Offer ongoing skills: admin help, grant writing, meal trains. Help orgs maintain databases, follow-ups, logistics.

Use your platform as a tool, not a stage If you have reach, treat it like a scalpel-not a megaphone. Acceptable posting: direct links to vetted orgs, clear calls to fund, volunteer, or attend specific actions, amplifying immigrant lead voices without additional commentary. Red flags: self-congratulatory language, trauma reposting, centering your fear, anger or "awakening"

Pressure power where you actually have leverage ICE doesn't operate in a vacuum. Effective pressure: local officials (mayors, sheriffs, DAs), employers complicit in raids, landlords collaborating with enforcement. Not effective: yelling at strangers online, vague "abolish ICE" posts with no local follow-through.

Decide your risk level-then act accordingly Let's be honest, not everyone can do everything Low risk: donate, translate, admin support, childcare Medium risk: Court accompaniment, community organizing High risk: civil disobedience (only with training and legal prep).

The Second Amendment / gun rights stuff has never been about guns or rights. It's always been about white supremacy.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Why are they bad for you? What symptoms do they cause? Gwyneth Paltrow if you can correctly identify human vaginal mucosa under a microscope I MIGHT consider putting your shitty jade egg in my coochie I hope you are all imagining that last reblog in the voice of Jigsaw because that is how I intended it

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Always remember these two facts about fascists:

- They are never as strong as they pretend to be. You outnumber them, always.

- They are guaranteed to lose power eventually. The only question is what you and your friends can do to make that happen as soon as possible.

we have won the horse girls. repeat: we have won the horse girls

You've got this. In the face of everything going wrong, you have her example to live by. You've got this💓

ngl I've always been in favor of gun control but this is a real strong point in favor that American gun culture was about southerner's right to violently resist reconstruction, not self-defense or fighting tyranny.

Henry Cuellar (Texas), Tom Suozzi (New York), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (New York), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), and Don Davis (North Carolina)

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

conservatives whining about spanberger

she should lean into this

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

This random online comment from 2018 remains one of the last half-century's most important works of political commentary. crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

If you are a game developer working on a modern military shooter and want to speak to me about Call of Duty being mentioned during this most recent ICE shooting, please reach out at gita at aftermath dot site. I am happy to keep you anonymous.

The reason why the rest of us were saying ABOLISH ICE is because it was clear it was going to be used as a Gestappo and KKK vigilante group by the Trump Administration.

In a country of 400 million guns, what do you think will happen? Death and escalation.

Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.

They recruited the comments section and gave them weapons and sovereign immunity.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

Post advertising a demonstration against ICE killings, planned for downtown Chicago on 1/25 at 1 pm

Multiple demonstrations are being organized in Chicago this weekend in response to federal agents killing a man in Minneapolis this morning.

I'm seeing announcements of a protest at 3 pm today in Little Village.

Another today at 3 pm in Logan Square

Yet another downtown at 1 pm tomorrow

Abolish ICE you spineless sack of shit

No, abolish ICE and drop the stupid AWB that hobbles citizens from defending against this tyranny.

I saw this a million years ago and could not stop laughing.

If you work for ICE, quit now.

Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming.

Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

oh wow robots are gonna do everything for us and we'll never have to work again?? wake up bro. they said basically the same shit about slinkies and guess what? eighty years later we're walkin down more stairs than ever
