You can say a lot of things about Star Trek Picard Season 2, but at least they showed that ICE was shit back when it aired.

This episode is important. I signed up for and completed Legal Observer training with the ACLU via Mobilize last Wednesday. If we want that Star Trek, we have to actively participate in creating it, and that means playing a vital role in protecting protestors and our freedom.

That feeling of "what can I do?": Eddie Phanichkul comes on the Trektivism podcast to talk about becoming a legal observer of law enforcement interactions with civilians. Thanks to Eddie for sharing his training and experiences. @eddiep.bsky.social

Dems like Buttigieg are trying to recuperate the energy people have fighting Trump back into support for institutional Dems, which will change nothing except slowing the collapse of U.S. institutions. Trump is making more overtly violent the reality of how the state has been built to harm us.

genuinely feel like if the Dems threatened to shut down the government again unless ICE is fully disbanded, the administration might roll over

Headline from NBC News indicating that Minnesota GOP governor candidate Chris Madel dropped out of the race citing GOP's handling of immigration enforcement. He's quoted saying he "cannot support the national Republican's stated retribution on the citizens of our state."

The citizenship line is intentionally blurred by the administration anyway. It was never just about immigration. Still, positive to see any pushback from within the party.
