With federal agents storming the streets of American communities, we decided to write a guide on what to do if ICE invades your neighborhood. There’s no single right way to approach a dangerous moment, but there are steps you can take to stay safe. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

This Holocaust Rememberence Day it is more important than ever to call out and condemn the actions of this administration and of ICE.

How can we truly say “never again” if we are not allowed to acknowledge these parallels?

THIS is why we remember The Holocaust

All killed by ICE/CBP. 32 others died in ICE custody in 2025 alone. That we know of. Meanwhile ICE has stopped paying for most detainee healthcare.

This is a public health emergency. Public health and medical workers. We must speak out.

on eat street today, pho 79 was giving out no-cost community meals; luna and the bear had free coffee for folks; cheapo had a sign up encouraging folks visiting alex pretti's memorial site to come in, warm up, and use the bathroom. good city full of good people imo.

They’re killing observers because they are threatened by them. the work these people are doing is profoundly brave. They’re all heroes.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

ICE has murdered another person in broad daylight in Minneapolis.

You can’t “retrain” this. You can’t “reform” this.

Prosecute the monsters who are killing people. Abolish ICE. End this insanity.

And the logical extension is that the entire police state is also the rotten barrel. *Everything* ICE and CBP are doing has been done by local law enforcement in this country.
- kidnapping kids
-jump out squads
-concealing identities
-racial profiling
-genocide
New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel.

This is the wrong metaphor for ICE and CBP. The barrel itself is rotten. 🧵

I don't know how to convey to people that POLICING in the US is experienced by countless Black and brown people in the way that ICE is currently acting towards people.

If you don’t train ICE enough it makes them fascist. But also sometimes people spend ten years in an Ivy League school and become fascist. We must find the exact right amount of training and education to not be fascist.

5. Start getting your own community ready.

Meet your neighbors. Form Signal groups. Distribute whistles and organize trainings on how to be a legal observer. (There's probably an organization close to you that does stuff like this.)

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area.
If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can.
