We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event
If you have a medical emergency in ICE custody, there’s a chance you will simply “disappear”
Or you could end up like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel who was deported to Costa Rica in a persistent vegetative state.
He died soon after.

42 million people were cut off from SNAP, many of them children and the disabled.
There have been multiple court orders pay up, but the regime refuse.
Now they’re going to force everyone to reapply.
This will kill people.
Which I firmly believe is the point.

Fear and denial are powerful emotions.
Most people have already had multiple infections and accepting the damage that’s been done is hard.
We’re also terrible at adaptation.
Too many folks think avoiding Covid means locking down forever.
They don’t realize the power of respirators & clean air!

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?
My dad trained as a neurosurgeon in the late ‘50s and they were still studying the long term neurological effects of the Spanish flu.

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

My tiny little Canadian heart is broken for the Blue Jays, but also as a lifelong Toronto sports fan AND a fan of the Buffalo Bills in the NFL, the idea that a mere loss can hurt me is quaint. 😛Have a great night everyone, have fun LA! ❤️

COVID vaccine #8 acquired! 💉Flu vaccine as well, but they don’t give me a fancy receipt for that. Almost entirely by luck of the draw, all 8 doses have been Moderna’s formulation, so if they want to hit me up I’ve accidentally been a human trial for them for 5 years!

Fuck the state, borders, whiteness, colonialism, capitalism, cishet patriarchy, and this world of their construction. Anyone who can't say that with their whole chest likely wont be a close friend, but what really matters is how they move in struggle.

Materially supporting the American economy is materially supporting fascism. I know the people aren’t guilty, and I urge you to help them whenever you can, but do your best to redirect your purchases away from American products, services, and experiences.
Canadian snowbirds report being searched, finger printed and photographed at the border.
I wouldn’t want to give my finger prints to US Customs and Border Patrol.
Please consider boycotting US travel.
Go literally anywhere else.
It’s not safe & we must refuse to support fascism.

I’m sitting on a high retaining wall taking a short break during my regular evening walk, but this evening in particular I’ve experienced two brief but unsettling bouts of vertigo.
I’m going to move myself to safer environs, as much as I like the view. This would be a very silly way to get hurt. 😅

Masks, COVID vaccines, flu shots. The season of gathering indoors with family approaches, and isn’t it nice to get through this part of the year without battling an infection?
Take care of yourself and you take care of those around you too. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Have a great day everyone 🫶

I’ve been trying to put to words why I love the Frog Costume Resistance schema, per usual Hilary has the words. Which I appreciate … unless she stole them from me. Then I still appreciate it, but will take steps to improve my brain’s OpSec.
Times are weird - protest as frog! And stay safe, please 🫶

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.
Everyone ready?
Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

Toronto has an “Avenue Road” and while the pronunciation isn’t unusual in any way, you can identify that someone is from out of town because they get as righteously angry as you honestly should for a roadway being named “Street Street”.
"Houston Street"
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Wanted to shout out Molly because, throughout the dark history in this series of episodes, she also manages to make me laugh a handful of times per episode.
“I looked through their phone records - I didn’t expect to find anything, and I didn’t, I was just being nosey.”

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social’s Weird Little Guys podcast is my favorite thing to listen to that isn’t Prince.
@socialistdogmom.bsky.social's series on The Death of A Demagogue (no, not that one, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it) is absolutely one of the very best in Weird Little Guys. It's ep 3.5 which is the real gut punch though
