Good advice from an ophthalmologist Dr Glaucoflecken (I know - still not sure it's a real name) on what to do if you get tear-gassed.
Looking at you, #Minnesota Warriors for Democracy & Justice!
Also #Minneapolis. Y'all know we always got you, right?
Peace & love!

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Yes, they fucking know and are making moves accordingly already.
The window for China to make its move on Taiwan without any real threat of a forceful response from the U.S. is three years. (Well, two years and 51 weeks.)
They know that too.

As compared to the LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell who said he disagrees with and does not plan to enforce recently enacted state and local bans prohibiting federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks during enforcement operations, the police chief said Thursday.
This is the correct way to police ICE. And it drives the far right nuts. Good.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The WHO defines health as complete physical, mental, and social well-being. By that definition, many of us are not okay right now. 👇

Can confirm. Community is stepping up to feed these folks, help get their kids to & from school and provide support. We need to amplify this 👇🏽
There are actually a lot of people in Minneapolis who’ve been afraid to leave their homes these past 3 weeks. So they haven’t left. And so they’re not working, grocery shopping, or getting medical care.
This doesn’t get talked about enough.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

The defund ICE law should be named the “Pretti-Good Act.”
Alex Pretti’s most immediate legacy is galvanizing the country against tyranny. We should do what we can to see to it that his other legacy is reclaiming the public meaning of masculinity from the whiny, sadistic freaks responsible for his murder. www.offmessage.net/p/alex-prett...
