“I had high hopes for the ICEBlock app, so it’s a shame that the developer is both overly confident and doesn’t know what he’s doing” - @micahflee.com

The @iceblock.app has 1+ million users.

They’re the people on Bluesky, joining @50501movement.bsky.social and attending @teslatakedown.com rallies.

They’ve long had it out for Portland.

This is a clip from my now-infamous 2020 conversation with the Portland DA

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

This is your periodic reminder that government shutdowns mean many active duty military and their families do not receive their paychecks and may have difficulty accessing other services, too.

Trump is definitely going to start his own “peace prize” and give it to brutal dictators, billionaire donors, and international war criminals.

It’s important to understand that the demonization of ‘Antifa’ isn’t just about kneecapping the enemies of MAGA. It’s about creating an opportunity to bring down the law-enforcement apparatus on anyone who dares dissent.

Attacks at synagogues and mosques. Don't let them claim we're not in this together against racism and racist violence. Divide and rule is all they have. Solidarity.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

I attended this webinar earlier, and wanted to share this infographic if folx need a visual to highlight how Zionism is embedded in how American newsrooms typically operate, for which I am truly grateful for the much-needed work that @prismreports.org does! 🍉 visualizingpalestine.org/visual/edite...

Chicago fights back against Trump admin’s sweeping violence, @nberlat.bsky.social reports. ICE raids & attacks against protesters have brutalized Chicago-area communities. But local organizers are committed to coming together to protect their neighbors.

Anarchism and chaos aren’t the same.

Anarchism and abolition go hand in hand.

Both with a focus on building a more humanistic society through interconnecting self-sustaining communities.

Something we need now more than ever.
