Abolish ICE.

They are the new gestapo, and that's not hyperbole in the slightest.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

ICE just stormed over here and attacked us, even though the state police had us contained. I’m not in good shape.

It's absolutely undeniable the system is broken. On so many levels in so many ways. And none of it is sustainable. But the status quo forces have quite the grip! Mostly on what we can imagine is possible.

We need to get busy on imagining a different kind of world. Then get to work on it.

Ursula K. Le Quin's famous book award speech

We live in Capitalism. It's power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.
