I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...

Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

This should be getting as much attention as Jimmy Kimmel

This time on This Month in the Apocalypse, @margaret.bsky.social , @jamesstout.bsky.social, and Inmn talk about what happened in September, from the climate, to immigration courts, to the already not the latest executive order.

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake.

They enjoy being able to play badass while they terrorize neighborhoods.

This week, the president and the secretary of defense told every American general they want to use American cities as military training grounds. They've been using Gaza as a training ground and war crimes laboratory for the last two years. This was always the plan.

FAA has issued MASSIVE temporary flight restriction which prohibits drones (i.e., photography) over Chicago.

They did similar around federal buildings in Los Angeles since June protests, but really no comparison...

Chicago's TFR covers 900x more area than ones in LA! 🧵👇

Maybe all the energy & water use would be worth it if we were getting major benefits like cures for diseases and saving endangered species

But we're wasting our drinking water and paying higher electricity bills for deepfake revenge porn, shitty ad voiceovers, cheating on term papers, & MechaHitler

ChatGPT was released November 2022.

The military are already on our streets. He's killing civilians by drone, plotting to invade or coup or colonize at least two different countries. We're watching a livestreamed genocide in Gaza. Stop with the gestures toward hypocrisy. It's over. We have to do more than wring our hands

It's beyond time you all accepted where we're at. "Ugh I can't believe a sitting president said that can you imagine if Obama/Harris/Washington" is a thought experiment for a bygone era. We're in the shit. Figure out what you're going to do next

Generally niche to agriculture but still very useful: @poorprolesalmanac.bsky.social

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Straight up of Nazi propaganda from the GOP.

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

I am despairing over these responses

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism. Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa provided material support [...]

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate.

It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us.

Only collective action can keep us safe and free.

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons:

-Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular
-Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact
-Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

Not sure how to do that? Let James tell you about it.

Please read articles before you pass them along, ESPECIALLY if the headline is terrifying, and make sure it's actually saying what the headline says it's saying, and if so, what that actually means and in what way the claim is being supported.

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression Donald Trump has declared that he is designating “Antifa” a “terrorist organization.” What does that mean? How can we prepare to weather the storm?

Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression

Donald Trump has signaled that he is expanding his offensive against immigrants to target critics of his regime as well.

Everyone should read this guide spelling out concrete steps we can take to prepare.

I can't imagine what that cesspool looks like these days

Any meaningful opposition to Trump is going to require organization. The Trump administration also does not have the resources to prosecute millions of people. If a vague threat of "we will investigate you" is enough to sway you from meaningful opposition, I have to question your actual commitment.

If you're concerned about having said something worthy of the thought police, that ship has sailed. They'll find whatever they need. My concern is with replacing sites like Facebook for contact on the left

You need to be thinking about how you'll communicate amongst your friends and others in the near future. Radios, mesh, regular in-person meetings, good old-fashioned physical message boards. They'll clamp down on social media before you know it, and everything else after
