If recent events have led you to a position of abolish ICE, abolish DHS, abolish prisons, abolish the police or any combination of the above, welcome. We are genuinely glad to have you here, and hope you will stay.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

"The question before us is not whether the U.S. is 'turning into' something else. The question is whether we are ... willing to tell the truth about how power has always worked here — and what it costs to keep pretending otherwise."
Instead of reckoning with the long and violent architecture of U.S. history, much of peoples' search for explanations collapses into racialized tropes and xenophobic reassurance: This isn’t Afghanistan. This isn’t China. This is America. We have rights. This is a democracy. This isn’t who we are.
“This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves
The idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.

What is a centrist?
Most people will tell you 2+2=4.
Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6.
So the centrist insists that 2+2=5.
Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity.
Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished.
And the centrists?
Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

In these difficult times, the paper of record remains laser focused on its core mission: policing the left.

Warning if you are new to snow storms (or just forgot).
Make sure your tailpipe is not blocked by snow before you start your car.
ESPECIALLY if you are putting your kids in the running car to keep warm while you scrape it off / dig it out.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Mutual aid is abolitionist. It never, ever hinges on likeability, connection, friendship, political beliefs, nothing. You feed your neighbor because you feed every neighbor.
Anything else is not "mutual aid." We shouldn't call it that. It's capitalism.

Due to the destruction caused by Israel's genocidal war, Gaza is littered with rubble that exceeds 50m tonnes. But, as always, Palestinians have found an ingenious way to re-use the rubble and rebuild the homes of millions.
