ICE should be dismantled immediately.
I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens.

Imani’s latest article!
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

This dumb motherfucker is trying to fight a two front Arctic war
ABC News reporting 1,500 active duty soldiers are on standby to deploy to MINNESOTA.
The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations.
The division is also the military's leading formation for Arctic warfare

Some people rather eat a bicycle tire between two fleece jackets and call it a burger than credit Black people for anything even when they stand on top of Black shoulders and squeeze out every ounce of semantics, style and even the scholarship on it from Black ppl to shape their own.
wp are so invested in mislabelling aave as "internet speak" or "gen z" because if they had to remove aave expressions from their own vocab they end up sounding antiquated, proving that Black language and culture had/has a crucial part in propelling the english language forward and shaping it.

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant.

This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

Imani got me a new Dutch oven to be a gluten free one, so I made chicken and potato soup tonight.
Yes, we have a second kitchen, but Imani is the primary cook, and usually when I cook, it’s upstairs. Tonight, I used the downstairs kitchen, the start of making it my gluten free cooking space!

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday.

“Say her name” isn’t used for white victims of shootings, because 99.9% of the time, their names will be said often and loudly. Rarely is a white victim a hidden victim. They usually aren’t brushed under the media rug.
RIP Renee Nicole Good.

When I see “Set aside race so we can address bigger issues”, what’s being said is that race and the racism that comes with it aren’t big enough issues to be considered.
And that often tells me everything I need to know about the person making that statement.

Ok Bluesky, talk to me about your dishwasher. I have to buy a new dishwasher. And everyone is saying Bosch 500 or 800 series but do I need to spend $1400 on a dishwasher? People also say “buy Miele. Top of the line.” I definitely don’t want to spend 2K on a dishwasher.
