this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

Happy to report that lately I've had essentially no pushback for getting all ~political~ on you. Bluesky is Bluesky of course, but "stick to toasters" definitely happened here.
I'll get back to silly things once enough of my neighbors wake up and smell the fascism.

There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.
No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

Holy shit! Watch this.
A U-Haul truck plowed into demonstrators supporting Iranian protests in the Westwood area of L.A. The driver was caught and detained.
Thank goodness no one was seriously injured, because this could have been catastrophic.

More than 1,000 “ICE out” rallies planned across the U.S. today.
NYC: chanting the name Renée Good. Signs reading “Abolish ICE.” A sign even calling for Trump to be put in jail.
Anti-ICE marches are making it clear, people are done being scared, done being erased, done pretending this is normal.

Is it just me or does it seem like the Trump administration is looking to provoke violence so that they can create the conditions for a harsh crackdown? Be careful, everyone.
📌 500 ICE agents are being moved to Minneapolis from other cities.

I want to connect the dots.
The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.
A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
