There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone.

Apple removes ICEBlock app from App Store
Apple on Thursday removed the immigration enforcement tracking app, ICEBlock, from the App Store, citing "safety risks."

Zines as Social Media

“Why have we let ourselves cede terrain on the term ‘social media’? Quite to the contrary, zines are social media—for starters, they exist in three-dimensional life and lead to face-to-face social interactions.”

Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

Zines as Material World

“Zines humbly remind us that cyberlife, all-too-real in terms of its impacts, isn’t actually a life—or life. Simple pieces of paper can unfold into something of our own creation that exists even if the power grid goes down.”

Zines as First-Aid

Beyond zines helping to “heal” folks from liberalism and assist them on the path toward anarchic well-being, zines are “first-aid” in a deeper sense. They’re often just the “medicine” needed to cope with a world that’s sick.

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Meghan Blanco, an attorney who represented Mojica, said it was significant that jurors did not believe the statements of such a senior official.

“These jurors had the opportunity to listen firsthand to the CBP officer overseeing enforcement nationally and could not have found his testimony to be credible,” said Blanco, a former federal prosecutor. “It is a bad sign for the federal government. They are doing everything they can to try to legitimize their prosecutions, and thank God the jury and the public are seeing right through it.”

“‘We are all antifascists’ should be on the lips and embodied in the practices of everyone (who isn’t a fascist), or else you’ve implicitly chosen a side: the wrong, hateful, authoritarian, deadly one.”

“Listen liberals: solidarity is our best weapon. It can look as simple as not buffing out antifascist slogans, or as hard(er) as emotionally, materially, and/or ethically loving your neighbors enough to defend them from fascism—even if you’re discomforted.”

I’m a primary care doctor for adults. Half the patients I see don’t have any insurance and don’t have the documentation they would need to get it. Patients are scared to come to their health appointments because they don’t want to be kidnapped.

How am I supposed to adequately care for patients who are being constantly terrorized by immigration police?
