LA based streamer/reactionary Anthony Cabassa pretends to be a journalist while advocating for accelerationism/authoritarian crackdowns. He and other propagandists including the Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura dropped into MN to try to make content and are big mad people know who they are.

Over 80,000 people joined us and our partners tonight because it's vital that we all know our First Amendment right to document and record ICE and other federal agents.

The only people scared of Trump and his goons are the Democrats in Congress.

80,000 people showed up for a training to learn how to do what the state executed two others for doing!

They should be scared of their base. Doubtful they will make it past their next primary.

Just called my senators and left a message.

No, we can’t allow ICE to terrorize our communities just a little less.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

if you're looking to learn about what are some of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of local elections in places that directly help ICE, this is for you:
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.

These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Read, & check out our maps:
In Criminal Justice Elections This Year, ICE Contracts Are on the Hot Seat - Bolts
With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

also, it's a great app to use for ordinary everyday chatter. yes it's secure but it's not about being secure, it's about being NORMAL in a way that chat apps mostly fail to be. Having your conversations be ephemeral and not having everything logged somewhere is the normal state of talking to people
Also a huge benefit of using an app just like Signal, in addition to the encryption, is that it's just a normal app and you can blend in with the crowd among people who just use it for ordinary everyday chatter

Needle in a haystack
If you're running around telling people not to use Signal right now, you're either dangerously foolish or actively fighting against the cause, and I believe we lack the time to sort out which is which right now.

I’ve used Signal exclusively for normal day-to-day chatter since 2017, and I’ve got pretty much all of my family and my friends to use it daily for bog-standard normal stuff since then, too.

It’s great.
