100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

This happened under Biden. I REALLY need you all to get this is not a thing that will be fixed by voting blue. The problem is not who is in charge of the Gestapo.

It's that we have a Gestapo.

Some of y'all are only pissed off cops are attacking white people the way they always have everyone else.
“In one instance in Aug 2023, Millan falsely told a woman her file noted a chest tattoo and asked her to verify it multiple times. When she resisted, he threatened not to sign the doc. She then complied, showing her bare breasts ‘for several more seconds.’ The woman’s 1yr-old daughter was present.”
Fucking media preservation is so dogshit anymore (the original story is now a 404)

The call for a one day national general strike is official — and the first one is happening this Friday.

If you can’t fully participate, that’s fine! Imperfect action is always better than doing nothing, so participate in whatever way(s) works best for you.

You love to see it... more of this, please.

For folks abandoning TikTok after its US takeover, consider using something like @skylight.social or @sprk.so or similar systems that give you a similar feeling but on an open protocol underneath so you'll never have to "move" again.

At this point in internet history, anything not running on an open protocol is a waste of time. I’d recommend @skylight.social for a TikTok alternative

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

about to board another flight but bovino getting fired and his job straight up deleted is the trump admin telling the people that we can string him up in the public square and they’ll pretend not to hear the screams. they’re giving us a freebie, and it’s bovino.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

this is deeply important.

he was *observing*. He was not protesting.

ICE was staging in a nearby parking lot to eventually go abduct people. Observers document the cars they are using and numbers in order to warn neighbors.

He was not protesting.
it was not a protest.
we are not protesting, we are living our lives under occupation.
Sean Duffy: "If you come to a protest with a 9mm firearm, that's fine believing in the Second Amendment, but you stand on the sidewalk and you hold your sign. You take that 9mm and you start to engage with ICE officers, and then you resist arrest -- listen, I don't want anyone to die, but ... "

We are winning, but the ethnic cleansing is continuing. We need to stay locked in and protect our neighbors.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Respectfully, there’s an appropriate setting for every form of resistance.

If Im getting jumped by ICE I’d rather the person in the interview attempt to save me or dissuade ICE from even attempting to snatch me, than you and 100 likeminded bystanders filming me as I’m dragged off.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.

every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

Realize that if they're lying openly about the two killings we have ample footage of, they're definitely lying about other deaths involving ICE.

this is a small thing but it would be nice to feel good about paying taxes. i would like to write a check to the government and think about kids going to school and freshly paved roads not all the death squads my income helps fund.
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
