Can you imagine being made to wash the dishes used to feed the men who are waiting to kidnap you or worse? Cooking and plating their meals? I wonder if they put the same care they usually do into it or if their shaking hands made the work suffer?

of pigs had lunch at a Mexican restaurant called El Tapatio in Willmar, Minnesota. "Staff at the restaurant were frightened," an eye witness told the Star Tribune. You can surely imagine that they were. You can picture exactly how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community. There's one like it where you live too. In almost every town in the country. We love Mexican food here so much. They forced these people to prepare their food and to serve them all the while knowing that they were going to ruin their lives after. With full bellies. The threat hanging in the air. Of course they did ruin them. They arrested a dishwasher and the two owners a few hours later after the restaurant closed. Can you imagine being made to wash the dishes used to feed the men who are waiting to kidnap you or worse? Cooking and plating their meals? I wonder if they put the same care they usually do into it or if their shaking hands made the work suffer? Needless to say there have been countless cultural mores and myths about this very thing throughout human history. "This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality," the historian Patrick Wyman posted.

Seattle CM Debora Juarez:

"Now ICE in the 21st century is continuing this deplorable, inhumane practice. There is no longer time for performative pearl clutching and handwringing. There is no option except to fight back with our collective voices, hearts and humanity. [...]Abolish ICE. FUCK ICE."

We've updated an old poster of ours to support the strikes against ICE.

"Our best protection from fascism is that they depend on us to keep their society running. WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS, AMERICA STOPS."

Shut it all down!

crimethinc.com/posters/stop...

Continute below to see the old poster. 🧵⬇️
A poster showing Donald Trump's ugly face with these words: Stop Me Before I Kill Again **The strike is a powerful tool** with which to resist the campaign of kidnapping and murder that mercenaries are carrying out across the country under Donald Trump. **But in the 21st century, a strike must assume new forms to succeed.** When industrial workers are no longer the backbone of the economy, strikes must take effect outside the workplace as well as within it. Ordinary people—most of whom are not unionized—must walk out and take it upon themselves to disrupt business as usual via blockading and other such tactics. Our best protection from fascism is that they depend on us to keep their society running. Let's shut it down. **WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS AMERICA STOPS** For a selection of tools to utilize, try crimethinc.com

Christ on a bike in heavy traffic.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday laid out the changes he and Senate Democrats are demanding. They include new warrant requirements prior to searches and arrests; the establishment of a blanket code of conduct applying to all federal law enforcement personnel; a ban on agents wearing face masks; and new body camera mandates. “This is not border security, this is not law and order, this is chaos — created at the top and felt in so many of our neighborhoods,” Schumer said in announcing the list. Jeffries broadly endorsed each of those reforms, though he cautioned that House Democrats will evaluate any legislative changes that come over from the Senate before endorsing any reform bills. Jeffries’s proposed ban on the deportation of U.S. citizens goes a step further than Schumer did. He said it’s necessary given numerous reports indicating that American citizens have been wrongly deported as part of President Trump’s aggressive deportation operations. DHS officials have denied that the agency is targeting or has deported U.S. citizens. “In what country are we living in where ICE and DHS have free rein to detain and deport American citizens? That’s inconsistent with the Constitution,” he said. “And so if the extremists don’t get it, it should be made explicit.” Jeffries also stipulated that there must be language in any new DHS bill empowering state and local law enforcers to conduct their own investigations, and perhaps bring their own charges in cases of alleged misconduct by DHS officers.
