🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Four months of shootings and deaths. This doesn't even count the neglect and death in their concentration camps. Fuck. This. Shit.

Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. If you can, set up collection platforms. Try not to make yourself a target while filming.

Calls for people to film events in Minnesota reflect good intentions, but intention without process produces unusable evidence.

Evidence collected for awareness & evidence collected for legal accountability are not the same activity. They require different standards, safeguards, and infrastructure.
This is going to make them even madder. Good.

This is one of the clearest examples of a disordered counterpublic capturing an institution I've seen. It's nice to have your work proven on a regular basis, but also very bad.
