i wish i could post about watching a silly tv show like i'd wanted to do when I logged in earlier but it's just so fucking frivolous feeling. trying not to doom, trying not to burn out in incandescent rage, trying to find SOMETHING that feels fucking productive when the calls don't matter

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

You do not need to give them fake images of protests to point at and say “see? They’re lying.”

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

The World Cup in the US must be boycotted by foreign nations. Outside financial pressure is the only thing the thugs in suits (as opposed to the thugs in camo) will respond to.

Absolutely love seeing this protest hat as a the top pattern on Ravely right now

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

I have now seen multiple groups who have taken it upon themselves/their social groups to re-create the historical signs that the federal gov't took down in Philly yesterday.
The best way to get people to spread a message (especially in this anti-authority, fuck-you town), is to try to censor it.

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.

This, the writing of Judith Shklar among others, is why I tend to focus on cruelty -- to the degree I focus on anything -- in my writing, it's why that's the subject of Parker's final speech. Of all the Ordinary Vices, this is my personal trigger.
A valuable read about the core of a republic. "Cruelty, even when legal, corrodes civic trust. It teaches citizens that power is something to fear rather than something they collectively own. It signals that consent is no longer the foundation of governance."

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
