Another quick quote: "This [ICE] exists today because of the prison industrial complex and the long history of warehousing Black, brown, Indigenous communities in the United States... there is no abolishing ICE without looking at [police, jails, sheriffs, etc]" @silkys13.bsky.social

"It's about a bordering regime and a system of control, and it's connected to so many agencies. For me, abolish ICE very much fits within an abolish the border framework." @harshawalia.bsky.social

I think it would be easier not to fund them to do it then to hand them more money but beg that it all be double checked.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.

And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

There have been hugely successful campaigns to fight prison and jail construction across the country, especially in rural areas. These bring together hunters, environmentalists, Indigenous people, prison abolitionists, and immigrant advocates as well as people concerned about land use.

Here’s a great starter toolkit for those new to this work. We could use an update on tactics specific to the Feds buying warehouses.

right, I was just blaming ICE instead of blaming ice

Definitely going to tell myself that it’s ICE’s fault that 36th street is just a big pothole now.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.
so many families are in awful positions because ICE’s bullshit has collapsed the already fragile social safety net.

this family is living in their van in minnesota in winter. they’ve applied for help at over a dozen orgs and are still unhoused. with babies.

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.
Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform.

Read the latest from our co-founder Andrea J. Ritchie in @thenation.com!
Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This
Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

If we don't want our data shared with the police, ICE, etc., the most effective safeguard is abolition.

Was thinking about one of my favorite classic @thehardtimesnews.bsky.social articles, "Punk Didn’t Realize Being an Anarchist Would Require so Much Reading and Social Organizing." thehardtimes.net/culture/punk...
Punk Didn’t Realize Being an Anarchist Would Require so Much Reading and Social Organizing
Wannabe anarchist Kevin Tomlin was upset to discover being an anarchist would require community involvement and not just make him an agent of chaos.

With all these rebel loon designs floating around I have totally lost track of which ones are AI generated.

And all of those stories together are present in the story of that land today; we should treat them as such and listen to them all, instead of thinking of time in that space as only linear (again, paraphrasing).
February 13, 2026 at 6:23 PM
That is, when I've been at Bdote, they'll tell me to think about that land as a land of ICE activity, of colonization and genocide in the form of both a fort and a concentration camp, and simultaneously the land of the Dakota creation story. It is all of those things together; all of those stories.
February 13, 2026 at 6:22 PM
This article doesn't directly say this (though I think it gestures at it) but one of the more transformative things I've learned from Indigenous people as they talk about the land where Fort Snelling/Whipple bldg sit today is to (paraphrasing) center the space (there) instead of the time (now/then).
Tipis erected near Fort Snelling have become a focal point for Native-led resistance to ICE activity, blending prayer, ceremony and protest on land marked by Dakota history.
