Perfect single color piechart.
What are the odds that these ICE folks who can’t risk unmasking now were complaining endlessly about having to wear a mask during the peak of COVID?

These are great! Note: even public businesses can put up signs indicating private/employee-only areas. Page 5 of the "Know Your Rights" guide on the Monarca page has some concise info about this!

KYR still matters, even if *they* aren't respecting it.

Isha is also one of the best poets I know, and just got accepted into the winter residency for Tin House; in order to actually be able to go, though, she is trying to raise some money via commissions for her visual art.

my friend Isha Camara made this design based on a line from one of my songs: "there is no light at the end of this tunnel / so it's a good thing we brought matches"

the song's a free download too: guante.bandcamp.com/track/matche...

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

"Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns."

It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

📱 Using your #RightToRecord!

In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

Chat was infiltrated the old fashioned way, app was not breached.
WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.

We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

ICE is out of control and should be abolished.
Federal agents from ICE, DEA and the FBI raided a St. Paul paper distributor Tuesday morning. Hundreds of community members responded in protest, clashing with officers. At least two people were detained by authorities, according to a witness.

Just to catch folks up. In this administration, DEA = ICE. HSI=ICE. Random “Police“ on vest? That’s also ICE.
