So I guess the next thing I should probably crowd fund for is a body/dash cam. I already have a recommendation. Ask is $130. Use a 📸 emoji to let me know what you're donating to (I also regularly ask for gas money). Anything helps! TIA! #MutualAid

Anarchists don't "fail to create hierarchies". Anarchists are opposed to hierarchies altogether. This is like the most basic knowledge of anarchism stuff here.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

If they kill me, toss my body on the steps of the DTLA federal building and destroy the data centers.

Nope! Not even a single mention of ICE. Not even from reporters.
It’s ALL about warning demonstrators to behave. All of it, again. Like this is all happening in a fucking vacuum.
If it wasn’t so infuriating it would be comical.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why can't Illinois citizens wear protective gear to a "First Amendment Zone" where they've previously been attacked with pepper spray, rubber bullets, baton rounds, chemical rounds and truncheons?
Broadview is restricting the items people will be allowed to bring inside it’s designated protest area near the ICE facility — under threat of removal or arrest — ahead of a protest tomorrow, which the village said it expects to bring 2-5k people to Lexington and Beach Street.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

The Holocaust wasn't called the Holocaust until it was over.
It's still genocide and ethnic cleansing though.
Same as with ICE.
The only reason we haven't seen mass deaths at that scale is because it's just getting started.
We still have time to stop it, but it's getting short.

So with Queer Eye coming to a close, it's time for Trans Eye, right?

Queer Eye was massive for shifting public opinion on gay rights, simply by humanizing them. We need that now for trans people
If done as well as the original or reboot, it could show America... We're just people

Ice is now using the levers of state power to attack businesses that are acting under the first amendment to protest their actions if you are outside of Minneapolis in St. Paul, you are under reacting to the danger we are all in.
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
