Reminder - Being woke is being compassionate. Tree hugging hippies are right. MLK was a socialist. Communists beat the nazis. Centrism is cowardice. Fascism is bad, antifascism is good. Empathy is awesome. Hold the line.

Calling all "white Dudes for VP Harris" guys out there...Here's your new assignment! You're already organizing, just channel it into this instead!

If I were white, I’d gather some fellow white men, dress in white trash flannel, camo and shiesty masks—and infiltrate these roving ICE agent gangs.

So much intel could be gleaned from just 1 day among these anonymous bigots.

Unfortunately, white men can’t be relied upon to defend the Rule of Law.

Black organizer, here. If you so-called “good” white Americans were serious about retaking your nation from Project 2025’s ongoing Christofascist White Nationalist government overhaul, you’d’ve BEEN organizing strategic, covert [white] militias to infiltrate and sabotage I.C.E. and related agencies.

As with countless other words and phrases, white people stole “woke” from Black English (AAVE) and ruined it.

Blatant incompetence all around

The man who was already detained in the van did not identify himself, Thomas said.
Once Brockman was handcuffed and placed in the van, the agents pulled out, clipping the rear bumper off of a stopped car partially blocking their path and speeding away past an approaching elongated CTA bus and through the busy intersection.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories.bsky.social · 19h

I'm starting to realize that most people don't know what autistic needs are.

In fact, a lot of people seem to think that autism is just the criteria and nothing more. That what you see is what you get. (Even many autistic people seem to think this.)
