Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

La Migra have always been monsters, be they INS, ICE, CBP, HSI or any other weird slush fund org.

Just nobody heard the brown people who were their primary prey when they told you.

immigration isn’t a problem in need of violence. It needs more paths & access, open doors. All else funds cartels.

Of all the Dutch children in this 1943 photo only the girl in the white dress, Felice Polak, survived the war.
All the others were murdered in concentration camps.
Felice spend many years visiting schools to tell her and their story, she died in 2019.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.
FBI investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says
The statement from FBI Director Kash Patel comes after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.

"The 'siege of Los Angeles' is now in its 232nd day, and there are ongoing operations in Chicago, New Orleans, Portland, San Diego, and other cities where the federal government has decided to direct its campaign of state terror." Most comprehensive & insightful call to organize yet, do a full read.
Unión del Barrio, a longstanding revolutionary immigrants’ rights group who has been on the frontline of protecting communities from ICE in Los Angeles, released a statement on the execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. It’s worth reading in full:

It's not a podcast anymore if I can watch it on Netflix. It's a live show or a talk show. We have gone so incredibly far past the plot with podcasts. I wish they never became as popular as they are.

Stop using the tools of the enemy. Please, please, please use my protest animals as icons, headers, banners whatever you want to show your solidarity. I have thrown these pieces out there for people to use, partly to give them something to use from an actual human artist.
I give you permission.
Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. 😬

To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free.

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 “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.

These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Read, & check out our maps:
In Criminal Justice Elections This Year, ICE Contracts Are on the Hot Seat - Bolts
With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

Complaining about people “getting political” is like complaining about a fire alarm.

Only people who feel safe from the fire could possibly care more about the alarm.
