“‘I’ve been beat up by police before, I’m disabled just trying to go to the doctor up there, that’s why I can’t move!’ she says before being pushed against her car and arrested. Protesters scream in disgust, and whistles and car horns blare for the entirety of the clip.”

I may be naive but people are fighting

I’m not arguing with folks who just don’t want to

Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

There are countless Black victims that no one has even heard about, much less seen the public fight demanding answers and justice.

Thanks in advance for caring.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

it is not better today. it is worse.

friends in federal detention for observing. friends maced and attacked. friends in car chases with ICE.

please keep your eyes open and keep listening and taking whatever action you can.

Hannah Einbinder you will always be famous

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives.

If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2.

Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.

Ik that everyone is mad about grok and that's bad, but we need to absolutely start a pressure campaign against socmed companies selling to these people

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one!

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.

Reminder that misinformation and disinformation are going to be worse than normal and to check sources, and be cautious with what you're sharing.

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.

You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.

You do nothing? You get nothing.

Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.

reps.fyi

literally advice that has existed since someone on LiveJournal in the 2000s got put on a no fly list because they jokingly talked about wanting to whack Bush.

it has nothing to do with whether the anger is valid. it is. I am livid. I also want people to stay safe because I care about them.

friendly reminder to not post anything that will get feds knocking on your door and putting you on no-fly lists, no matter how upset you are about injustices. it doesn't matter that you're not serious and it doesn't matter if you append "in Minecraft". be careful with what you say, here or anywhere

Friendly reminder that Congress had enough phone calls coming in last February that it was actively causing the phone system to crash and they had to progressively work to upgrade it over several nights to ensure it could handle the call volume.

If enough people call, it disrupts the system.

I 100% did not expect the govt to point at banks on behalf of the adult industry. We need to leverage the hell out of this

Remember Mastercard and Visa blaming "banking partners"? If banks face repercussions their alibis could start crumbling as they get pinched between angry consumers and the feds
