I’m tired of living in a society based on punishment.

The thing about carceral thinking is that people foreclose their imaginations and think the only thing we can *do* is arrest, prosecute, imprison bad actors.

Meanwhile progressive Minneapolis council members and organizers got an eviction moratorium resolution passed unanimously yesterday!

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

The deal has kick-started the president’s controversial plan to sell up to 50mn barrels of Venezuelan oil, with more sales expected in the ‘coming days and weeks’. ft.trib.al/a2pf6om

Impeaching Noem is symbolic and symbols matter. And it should be used as an organizing tool and a way to keep the issues about ICE/DHS fresh in people's minds and importantly to propose ACTUAL ways to dismantle these institutions. This is the point I've been making for the past few weeks.

The goal of ICE watch is to surround that second type of perpetrator with people who *disapprove* of their actions.

It will make them less likely to be violent and we’ve seen that, in some cases, that includes rethinking their original plan to tear a family apart too.

"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Everyone has said it but I’m going to say it, too: this is how an abuser thinks and talks.

I guess if I thought that elections are what stop fascism, I might be pessimistic too.

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

the US revolution was not a revolt against colonization but instead the (seemingly) permanent cementing of the colonial project. It's not like India or Ireland breaking free from the UK, it's like if the British colonists in India broke free from the UK's control.

White supremacy explains a lot of apparent contradictions. The GOP was for states’ rights when the politics supported white supremacy. When they can accomplish white supremacist goals with federal power, they are against states’ rights.

**imo** all conversations around the liberation of trans healthcare should also be part of a larger framework asking: how we can achieve greater healthcare autonomy for all people whose needs are not being met by our current medical system?

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated.

If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts.

They want to track autism, miscarriages, abortion, birth control use but don’t want to track measles, bird flu, Covid or salmonella.

Ask yourselves why that is. They’re setting the stage to blame people for their disabilities. To slate them for elimination.

It’s eugenics & it’s escalating.

The important thing to understand about the Trump administration is that it is always lying. It isn't simply indifferent to the truth; it has contempt for it and for those who tell it. This must be broadly understood.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
