Do the British Museum next

The is my friends’ movie! Glad to see folks enjoying it!

So many folks throwing “radical anarchists” under the bus as talking points to show they’re the good guys, while they love the projects we do to support communities.

30 people disappeared in this shaded area today.

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.

Fun fact: you can live and breathe the cointelpro handbook without being a fed but just by being a dick.

Immigration Detention Ends in Provincial Jails Across Canada In a major victory for migrant and refugee rights, on September 14, Ontario became the last province in Canada to block the Canada Border Services Agency from using provincial jails to incarcerate mig...

Even when immigrants are being detained, we see the impact of know your rights information. The family detained at Millenium Park refused to answer questions about their status and also asked for a warrant. Once at Broadview processing center, they also refused to sign a voluntary departure form.

Fuck these fucking fucks

ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois.

Never mind the videos…

Saying, "You can't live your life in fear" to someone with a statistically higher chance of being murdered is actually ridiculous.

Have just found out that there’s a species of bee colloquially known as “blood bees”. And YouTube has no good videos on them! Anyone have a podcast, video, or article on them? My googling hasn’t turned up anything terribly informative, let alone entertaining #bees #entomology #apidae

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Detained father calls daughters from Broadview ICE facility, says he's held in room with 150 men Rosalio Pelayo Salgado was detained on Sept. 10. His daughter said he described being called slurs and having his anxiety medication taken away.

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.”

These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Things are not okay!

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Russia - Being gay makes you a terrorist.
Britain - Opposing genocide makes you a terrorist.
U.S.A. - Being Anti Fascist makes you a terrorist.

It's almost as if the authoritarian government model is using "terrorism" as a political thought terminator for reasons....

Is a celebrity comedian being cancelled for the mildest political speech bad? Of course. And yet we wouldn’t be here had people taken a moral stand years earlier. Had we not already normalized cancelling anti-imperial political speech.

I would care a lot more about Kimmel if so many of the people bemoaning his cancellation had given a fraction of that concern to folks being cancelled for supporting Palestine.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

Thinking a lot this morning about how the dispersed nature of these kidnappings over such a broad area makes it so easy for them to avoid making bigger waves. The surface can appear totally calm while they're grabbing neighbors, and most people have no idea until/unless something flashy happens

Everything sucks and they had to go fuck up Star Trek?? Can I have one comfort show please?
