Srsly. There are MANY “ICE watch” community groups popping up, that will offer training, patrol shifts, links to protests & know your rights resources & also links to good human beings in your community. Don’t just doomscroll - ORGANIZE.
Oh and for any white person calling for "more of this" or saying she's so brag get your ass in the streets. This isn't bravery it's fear anger and pain

This is such an under reported story. Not that I’m surprised, but the sense of impunity is breathtaking. The regime can shoot anyone now? Literally anyone for any “reason”? (Answer not required here 😡)

As I’ve said before, there’s no better time to be running a Latin American studies program because you learn about the future from our region’s past

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Honestly? I never personally cared for the DC aesthetic, however! These fools write the opposition ads for us. Never, ever EVER let these photos die. Put it in every ad in every medium.

It's good to see OCD getting more awareness in the news this morning.

It's not a trivial or mild condition.

It's a very real, very debilitating, very disabling, serious mental illness.

People with OCD deserve much more support and much less stigma.

Cuomo released a "Muslims Against Mamdani" video and one of the people just straight up accuses Mamdani of being Hindu

And donate/volunteer at food banks now.
Remember, as SNAP is about to end, the standing rule remains firm:

If you see someone stealing diapers or formula no you didn't.
More examples show what this is really about. Since the backbone of the rights platform is “men are allowed to be toxic jerks,” some “leftist” men want our own Overton window to shift a lil bit rightward too. Fuck that. We’re in a time when reinforcing common values among our folks is critical.
between this guy and john fetterman there seems to be an emerging Disgustoid Faction in the democratic party
If they thought that any of this would stop us or deter us: they clearly don't understand our movement, and they don't understand Marines.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

At this point Platner isn't just a guy with a Nazi tattoo, he's a guy who inspired a bunch of people ranging from centrist to leftist to start defending having political candidates / elected officials with Nazi tattoos. We need a clean break with that.
I think that would have to include stepping down as a candidate for me to take it seriously. Anything short of that, to me, indicates he still doesn't quite grasp how big a fuck-up this was (to put it generously!) and its awful impact.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

"I'm worried every day ... that we'll have kids here waiting to be picked up and nobody will ever come for them, because we've seen it happen."
"The smoke bombs that they dropped in front of school right at dismissal, the detainment of grown-ups after they drop off their children."

"All of that is violent. All of that is traumatic."

"[T]hat is what many students in this city are experiencing."

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.
What We Can Do About ICE
ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

I want to give a special good morning to all my bros - the men & male identifying folks. Your greatest strength is your kindness, emotional intelligence, empathy. You have so much capacity to be in solidarity, to love & be loved. Don’t let cowards define your gender as anger, whining, or supremacy.🩷
God this is all so degrading to men. He is really, really reinforcing that men supposedly have a right to be defensive, whiny & angry, and if we don’t reward that then we’re obviously the problem. Another example of someone who should go to fucking therapy before inflicting his issues on public 😬😬

Clearest sign yet that Zohran has this in the bag. Resorting to MAGA style AI slop is not the sign of a healthy campaign. Also, I too laugh at the fools who dare provoke the ire of his gloriousness Idris Elba 😡😡
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
