You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

Umhm.

I also feel like it wraps up... Fascists want nothing more than to be taken seriously, but fundamentally they are unserious people. Everything that highlights that helps us fight back.

It was a weird gorgeous delight, and I absolutely owned the soundtrack on CD. (probably still do).

And now, tonight's local urgent needs.

First up, Jen. If you want to skip all of the background and just help her get to a competition she and her dog have trained for for over a year, you can do that here [goal is $1,500]:

Okay, I'm doing tonight's local needs early, and I'm doing an unusual one. It's not life or death; not an emergency, although it *is* time-sensitive.

It's for our friend Jen, who runs the local dog rescue Taos Hound Underground.

"Without a Face" (1996) is literally about the hardships undocumented immigrants go through, so it's not surprising Morello is against sending federal troops to protect ICE and deport immigrants.

The first lyric: "Got no card so I got no soul."

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

FWIW ICE is probably the least accessible federal agency I’ve ever covered, and that includes the CIA.

Michael J. Kramer @michaeljkramer.bsky.social · 3h

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

I also feel like Derek shedding light on their inability to even dress the part is a deep cut, and I love it.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Fascism came wrapped in a flag and a cross but it also came wrapped in swastikas and it also came on the airwaves and the newspapers with paranoid delusions of Jewish conspiracies and it came wrapped in silver shirts with stories of demonic possession and that's just the 1930s.

Anyone can hop in an inflatable suit and protest. Can't make it to an "official protest"? Find a freeway overpass or an intersection nearby. Hang out with your friends. Wave signs about ending fascism, or saving democracy. Everyone has their thing. My mom? No swears. My husband? Guillotines. 😂🤷‍♀️

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming “do something!” also screaming “not like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.
