This is the kind of person we're choosing to allow to walk among us. This man in the mask orgasmed in his pants from the act of shooting a pastor in the face with a flash bang. This is a person we have chosen to allow to live freely and unbothered among us

An ICE agent shot a pastor in the face with a flashbang and also possibly came in his pants...

This brilliant little article gets at what I’ve seen but haven’t yet read: Chicago locals, regardless of status, are apprehensive about venturing out to restaurants and food stalls targeted by ICE. The result is a whole sector in economic and social crisis.

“We Won’t Survive if You Don’t Support Us”

ICE presence in Chicago has hurt the local economies in immigrant communities — which could in turn put a financial strain on the city at large.

and why shouldn’t they? who’s gonna stop them?

not some judge, whose orders they don’t care to follow.

not the governor, whose state troopers beating protesters outside their jail have freed up their agents to do more kidnappings.

not the law. there’s nothing illegal about their occupation.

our neighborhoods are filled with masked agents, who violently abduct dozens of people every single day from out of ubers and in front of elementary schools and from their goddamn houses for the sole reason that they’re brown.

the feds also come after anyone who gets in their way—clergy, journalists, politicians, regular people who just want them out of their fucking communities.

they toss around toxic gas on sleepy residential streets, leaving people of all ages coughing + picking up the pieces long after they’re gone.

Attended this with veteran reporter Monroe Anderson who has reported on a lot of history, including the ‘68 uprisings. This is the largest protest he’d ever seen.

the folks who are like “artists should never use the money until they’re completed with the work” do not live in the same reality that a lot of others live in I fear.

no amount of “professional” is going to help you out of a financial hole caused by unexpected circumstances.

I know Utopian Futures is a cover (Tin Tree Factory's original is incredible too), but I stand by what i said about Kimya Dawson's work. The album they did with Aesop Rock (The Uncluded- Hokey Fright) similarly hits this for me.

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

Kimya Dawson's music makes me cry harder and harder every year I'm an adult because it makes me feel hope and optimism in a way very few things do these days.

a moment where i'm going to want to run to everyone I know and give them the biggest hug and cry my eyes out and laugh and do that will all of them at the same fucking time.

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

people will be in the streets celebrating. I know a lot of work will still be left to do, but there is going to come a moment in probably a few years where we will all know to get up, go outside, and let it all out.

Like I fully was in "i mean...i can probably still wear these..." mentally and i probably would have refused but at a point you gotta accept you need help. I dunno. just weirds me out that this is a sentiment i struggle with and that others have it so bad they use it to keep others down.

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

Anyway im trying to process that a friend offered to buy me new shoes after I've worn my current pair for almost 3 years. I dont even know my shoe size I buy so rarely. There are holes in both and the soles are almost worn to the ground. The treads are almost completely gone.

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

The government is supposed to help us! Why would you refuse help from them monetarily?? Why would you want other people to be deprived of help when you're poor yourself and would likely benefit from that? BAFFLING.

At some point you gotta realize this is a you problem and accept the help.

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

The idea that someone would have this tendency to the point of pushing for policy that allows nobody to receive charity or handouts is just...what?? what the fuck?? Like at a point to me that isn't the same as a friend doing it. My pride or concern for my friends isn't present. That's the government

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

I struggle to accept monetary help even when I need it and it can be hard to ask even when I know i need to. I have had to ask a lot and it never gets easier. If anything it only gets hardier and I feel guiltier.

I recognize this as a flaw and it has even driven a wedge between family and I before

Cami 🐻 @pouchprints.bsky.social · 5d

I feel like the tendency of people in need to refuse "charity" and "hand outs" in a political sense is something I understand more and more as I get older while it simultaneously makes me angrier and angrier at the people who do it.

Like speaking as someone who struggles to ask for or accept help.

all i can say is show up again next time too. This time i didn't (one roommate is recovering from top surgery and the other was already going so i stayed behind just in case), but next time I probably will go. these need to keep growing. things can, must, and will change.
