A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Too much of this in anti-capitalist movements. Settlers: if we remain disconnected from the land we occupy, our own indigeneity, and from each other, we recreate colonial harm. Step ONE in defunding & dismantling is listen to and learn from the Indigenous people around you

This is the TikTok link to the Indigenous woman who had the Doordasher run into her home to escape ICE. Everyone in /adjacent to the US who isn't a fking notsee should watch and take note. All 13 minutes. Know your rights, have each other's backs. There's power in community

“The officer feared for his life." Is so funny to me, because as a woman, if I shot a man in the face every time I've felt afraid, the streets would be lined with bodies. - Scarlett Longstreet

NIH is losing so may good people. First they were fired or RIFd or pressured to retire early.
Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”
Proud to know these brave scientists!

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left
“We can no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity,” write four scientists and administrators who recently resigned from the NIH.

I'm sure people are saying this more eloquently than I, but how is anyone going to abolish ICE within the context of rampant imperialism? ICE, and everything happening now, is just a symptom of a bad system I can't see most people wanting to dismantle (or knowing what to replace it with if they did)

fuel for thought..
think of how weaning ourselves off our fossil fuel dependence would affect war and peace.
we'd probably still fight, but it'd be about other things.

A friend, whose request to stay anonymous, made this. You might recognize the strategy from many different far-right populists right now, not just MAGA folks. There are ways to disrupt this at every step.

Two movies commenting on the male gaze were up for best picture, best director, best screenplay and best actress. One made by a woman, and one made by a man. The one made by a man won all four categories - but that's not the real irony. #oscars 1/2

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they *literally whispered,* they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

Or, read up on longtermism and transhumanism (aka TESCREAL) if you're not already familiar. There's a bunch of articles. My introduction was What We Owe The Future (William McAskill) that Musk shared as his philosophy in 2022

It is little known, but the first book burnings in Nazi Germany didn’t target Jewish writers. It was the burning of the library of the Institute of Sexual Research, which was a safe home for trans people.
It is no accident that fascists today walk that same dark path by targeting trans people. /5
