For everything there is to despair there are many reasons to have hope.
In 1943, musician Woody Guthrie placed a message on his guitar: "This machine kills fascists."
I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.
This is the story of the "Whistle Crew."

I print whistles now. You can too.

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”
Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets.
They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters.
I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.
