Tapping the sign
When Putin needed pretext for creating "The Red Web", Russia's authoritarian system of online censorship that effectively bans LGBTQ speech, he did it through the EXACT same moral panic about social media and kids that liberals and many leftists are spreading today.
Abolition. Anything less is complicity.
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Wait, so is there actually a general strike tomorrow? Or no
Abolish DHS
We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They canβt be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.
my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.
Establishment Democrats are culpable in the American fascism movement, unfortunately.
True! Alienating her base, courting centrists and republicans, and not taking a moral stance against genocide were all bad decisions that contributed to this moment.
Liberals donβt want to dismantle the systems that oppress us- they want to control them
Todayβs retreat is absolutely an attempt to take pressure off of Congress to rein in ICE so that a funding package can get through.
That pressure has been effective. We can celebrate Minneapolisβ win but we need to keep the pressure on. Theyβre not going to stop forever.
One of the best to ever do it!
The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered βhighly trained.β
The problem isnβt "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
What you're doing matters so much, Chris. Thank you, sincerely.
Not only is it not a problem, the diversity brought to our communities by immigrants is one of few truly great things about this country. Democrats that conceded the GOP's immigration framing, especially during the last admin, are culpable for this moment. Fuck ICE and all who enabled them.
People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie
i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE
Very cool that Congress just renewed ICE's budget with absolutely zero concessions
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
If you are talking about training today, you are a mark.
We all need to multi-task now...
I know for a fact that your elected representatives respond when they get FLOODED with phone calls and emails from their constituents.
Call yours NOW and DON'T LET UP.
Demand they defund ICE.
Demand the FULL release of the #EpsteinFiles.
There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. Youβre going to need to spit on that guy
βdonβt give them an excuse, theyβre waiting for a reason to invoke martial lawβ too often sounds like βdont make too much trouble or theyβll do to the rest of us what theyβre currently doing to brown folksβ
There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter
For years, many of us have tried to get people to care about criminalization with only limited success. We made the point that criminalization is fascism's fuel. And I really really hope that more people now understand this.
