ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

StopICE Data Breach Sent Names And Locations of 100,000 Users to The US Government StopICE, the anti-ICE activist platform, suffered a major security breach exposing names, logins, phone numbers and GPS locations of over 100,000 users to US federal agencies.

Why do your organizing over Signal? So that you don't do your organizing on an app that hasn't been tested or reviewed, run by a guy who doesn't tell his users about data breaches and security problems.

One thing I realized is the timing of the pol board being opened after the Epstein meeting is that it occurred one month into the occupy wall street protests that 4chan played a role in promoting and organizing.

It's like the oligarch class wanted to takeover that ability to serve their interests.

#OtD 1 Feb 1967 bagel bakery bosses in NYC locked out their unionised & well-organised bakers, who had been resisting 40% pay cuts, citing competition from non-union bakeries and bagels made by machines. The bakers were ultimately unsuccessful stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8061...

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

Some of you may be too young to have appreciated Bruce's 41 shots: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMq... - if yes, you should listen to it. And you should know that the NYPD and NJ cops pitched a MAJOR FIT over it.

As a Canadian, what I've learned so far:

- Minnesotans are very nice and VERY organized
- Mainers are aggressively xenophobic but in a way that lCE will not like
- Philadelphians crave the blood of their enemies
- LA is ground zero for chaos tactics that never lose
- New Yorkers love gay hockey
