Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

As ICE ramps up its terror campaign against immigrants, a group of ordinary people is fighting back in a unique way: by chasing down ICE agents in their cars.

My dear friend is living outside and Maine cold weather is here.

Can you help us get her housed for the next week? She is working tirelessly to find housing with her voucher. We just need to keep her alive another week to keep fighting.

The shelter is not an option for trans disabled people.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

One major difference between the Holocaust perpetrated by Israel & the Nazi Holocaust is that Group 13's Abraham Gancwajch didn't get an oped in a fucking mainstream American newspaper entitled "Jews Are Finished With the Jewish Combat Organization: My Popular Forces control the Warsaw ghetto"

I have spoken to rooms full of nondisabled people and heard this ripple of tense laughter. I have told my own story of flipping a car on black ice and people straight up told me they would just drive more carefully.

They can’t handle the idea that you can’t wellness and responsibility your way out.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably.

I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me."

& the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.

Anti-ICE organizing in New York City:

People who showed up to the federal immigration building, referred to as just ‘26 Federal Plaza’ or ‘FP’ to protest & stop ICE from transferring people they arrested, were blocked by NYPD at numerous intervals for low level infractions.
