Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim.bsky.social · 7h

"We cannot prevent all of the harm that ICE will do in our communities, but we can make their work harder, and we can make our values, our presence, and our solidarity known. We can make our neighborhoods and our relationships stronger, as we forge bonds in opposition to this violence."

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Israel is reportedly forcing 154 Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons as part of the ceasefire deal into exile and deporting them to an unknown country. Experts say the move is a violation of international law.

154 Freed Palestinian Prisoners Reportedly Being Forced Into Exile by Israel

“Exiling Palestinian prisoners is the continuation of captivity by other means,” one legal expert said.

I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

our samsung tv has a BBC channel that is usually Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice but now it's a show with Dr. Strange who's at an indoor pool and he's pointing a gun at the Hot Priest while the Hobbit looks on worriedly.

Hi! @guante.info and I are in northeast and are interested in connecting. Also, if there are folks interested in working through this worksheet together, we'd be happy to facilitate/discuss with NE neighbors! organizingmythoughts.org/mapping-comm...

Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods

This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

Related to this, it isn’t over

I just called Pillsbury and Edison high school to let them know
And Edison high school said they have had several calls with different locations
So they are not leaving the neighborhood

one thing about me is that I really like Gritty.

I like the way he moves, his electric hips, his roving gaze.
