Whatever GPS guidance system you use (that Trump hasn't banned yet), the code for ICE is "unplowed road":

Just saw this video about the Texas State Fair being empty on opening weekend. A Texas resident says: " Maybe because we're all broke, and terrified of being snatched up by ICE gestapo mid- corn dog."

As a restaurant kid who grew up in a fish-and-chips restaurant, I absolutely welcome the situation where there's "a bigger fish to fry"!

What Trump and his powerful allies want is for us to call his now-suffering supporters "FAFO" or "leopard ate face". What they're really afraid is for them to join us. We can change the messaging and still vindicate ourselves. Here's a suggestion: "Welcome to the party, pal!"

MAGA calling all who oppose them "antifa Hamas terrorists" (come on, pick a bogeyman already!) just shows that The People has got this corrupt regime running scared. Hold the line! Stand up for each other. E pluribus unum.

About MAGA's "confusion" about Bad Bunny's U.S. citizenship. I wish it is just ignorance. But it feels more sinister to us. In Trump's America, anyone who isn't white or monolingual (English) - including Native Americans - needs to explain ourselves.

Just heard about our old friend and labor leader Kent Wong has passed on. You rest easy, brother. We will pick up where you left off. Rest in power.

UFW mourns the passing of our brother Kent Wong. Please watch Kent speak in beautiful short video connecting his time with UFW to his view of the importance of solidary across labor and race and cultural backgrounds.

theconversation.com/see-you-in-v.... FBI Director Kash Patel, repeating the sign-off that racist neo-Nazi mass shooters say in their manifestos/suicide notes before they gunned down people of color. Kash, my Asian brother, you might be trying a little too hard to assimilate to America.
‘See you in Valhalla’: how the FBI director waded into the far-right’s obsession with the Vikings
Was the FBI chief sending a message to white supremacists? It’s more likely Patel’s Valhalla reference was a clumsy attempt to call Kirk a hero.

Finally checked out the super-local independent coffee shop 2 years after moving here in Sanxia (三峽). And wouldn't you know it... They have the carrot cake! I used to have got all the way to Taipei for that. Local coffee rules!

We have to switch from being shocked-and-awed when (not if) this regime actually does the unlawful things it already said it's going to do, to full on "F*ck you, make me!". People left and right should get used to challenging this regime. This puts agency and power back in the hands of the people.

I like this protest message that's empowering with recent Jimmy Kimmel showdown: "Fuck you. Make me." Succinct. Fits easily on a sign.

MAGA playbook: Just publicly say you're against something beforehand, and you'll get away with doing it.

Ah, reaching the part in DuoLingo where I'm learning very familiar words: "en grève" (on strike), "manifester" (to protest). Gonna enjoy this!

Fascists in power use shock-and-awe tactics. They COUNT on us not wanting to imagine what comes next. We must anticipate their next steps, however unpleasant it is to think about them. And we must act on that anticipation, if we are to defeat them in the long run.
