Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills • The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

I just donated. I've got a 5yo son in pre-k. We got him one of those funny squeeze hats that flap the ears. He's got a spider man backpack too.

Please give if you can, and show up wherever you live in solidarity with MN and against ICE this Friday. iceoutforgood.org?utm_source=i...

And even if you want to engage in foreign language content. The translation tools are on a separate website, with button hidden away, making it impossible to engage with multilingual content.

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.
And if you feel like it's getting worse, yes, it is. Non US traffic here is minimal. And criticising it, you get "skill issue" or "it's not an echo chamber!"

Can we all celebrate Echo’s third walk ever into The Zone (the outside). He was excited once the leash was on and has been very brave exploring

Artists, take care of your body. Listen to it.
There's no such thing as 'pushing through' chronic conditions. I say this as an artist who absolutely was a 'play through the pain' type, and now has a hard limit on how long my tendons will let me draw for.

This is being posted by someone on the MN city council and he said he's verified it in the thread, if you have any question about it.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

If we want to win, forever, for good, we need to resist the urge to tell these people "I told you so" and let them realize it on their own.

Working to protect your neighbors is addictive. Once you start the work, it becomes more difficult to turn away from all the other ways it turns up.
one thing "normies" are realizing via ICEwatch chats is that there is a ton of diff law enforcement & they are ALWAYS fucking outside. constant "is this ICE?" nope those are the housing cops, DEA, national guard for the subway. oh those are just the undercovers that hang by the school. etc. etc.

Bad laughter feeds on itself. Contempt for art or perspectives that feel alien thirsts for validation from the people next to you. I get the argument that we're all entitled to our own reactions, but actually, no. Not when they're so loud and performative that they cut into the experience of others.

One of my observations from posting about detention centers is that many county officials are signing contracts with ICE despite public protest from local residents.
'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.

This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.
🚨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.
