there are cases where opsec is absolutely vital. anything where the liberty of another human being hangs in the balance is one of them.
Another fact that people outside of MN might find hard to believe:

I cannot participate in any kind of observation of ice activities because they will put me in a database, and follow me when I make deliveries of supplies to vulnerable people, so they can abduct them.
A fact that's hard to believe for many people outside of MN:

I have to be vetted to join my local signal group that patrols our local elementary to keep federal agents from kidnapping students bc those same feds are infiltrating those chats to better target vulnerable people for abduction.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.

It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

state media pushing back against people protesting against the child kidnapping machine is

well,

saying the quiet part very loudly.

if the child kidnapping machine falls, their legitimacy as news orgs fall because they're not not propaganda for a status quo that is never returning.

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

This just pissed me off even more than the re-handcuffing

The notion that these motherfuckers were the ones showing grace, that the women should be appreciative and speak well of the agents, that substandard treatment is conditioned on the women's portraying then as benevolent

Fuckin disgusting
They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

A "subject profile" of Öztürk that was prepared "for/in collaboration with HSI Office of Intelligence" cites her profile on the Israeli-based website Canary Mission on the third page.

It also includes her op-ed.

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...
Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw
The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

What is the incidence of people like me, who contracted it at the age of 6 months, and have suffered a lifetime of post-viral syndrome-ignited autoimmune disease and disability as a result?

RFK Jr is a genocidal monster who should be locked up fro crimes against humanity. He's pure evil.
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

NEW: Chicago's six Broadview conspiracy defendants, including Kat Abughazaleh, seek details about their indictment through a bill of particulars.

Their 16-page motion raises questions about the case and alleges their politics and criticism of Trump "are the only ties that bind them."

Every single Republican thinks the wrong side won WWII and believes this is their chance to fix that.
It's really obvious, on so many levels, how fucking stupid these ICE guys are. If you have even a high-school level knowledge of history, you know shit like what we're living through does not last, & bullies get their comeuppance. How fucking stupid do you have to be to think you'd get away with it?

True feedback loop between domestic violence and state violence, they co-construct each other

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.

Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Also, the arctic vortex wandering south like this IS an indicator of climate change, as it is due to the destabilization of the jet stream and oceanic currents.
Yes, it’s cold across part of the United States today.

This does *not* mean the global-scale patterns of long-term warming linked to climate change are not happening.

The United States covers only 1.8% of the planet. And a few days is only 0.03% of the 30 years we average for climate statistics.

The protests today have garnered significant national and international coverage. For folks wanting that, you got it, and mostly looks pretty good. NYT has demonstrators not protestors, for example, a good word choice.
