#printmakers - here's a way to help. @the-ilrc.bsky.social produces these small red cards with the script to help immigrants in dealing with ICE. They're out of cards, but they provide the PDFs for free www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta... -if you can, print out some, and hand them out to your community
Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas | Immigrant Legal Resource Center | ILRC
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC’s Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend them...

How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.

I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.
The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

1. Film ICE in public

2. Photograph ICE in public

3. Observe what ICE does in public

ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Making plots from earlier editions of @plotterzine reminds me of how far I’ve come. I can see the old mistakes I’ve made in path optimization. New zines forthcoming. #penplottter

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, leaves behind her partner and her kindergarten-aged son. My heart breaks for Renee's family and the Minneapolis community. This should never have happened.

I just realized that this could fit the current #genuary theme of “lights on lights off”
Discovered a way to obfuscate an image. Using color fills, one can generate something that looks like noise, when the vector paths can describe a whole different scene. #penplotter #vectorart #encoding

I encountered a review of the Kaite memo pad (www.plus-vision.com/en/product/k...) - and I don't quite get it. It's simulating paper, but why not just use paper? The archiving of data is taking a photo on the phone - which can be done on paper.
