The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

We all probably all need to hear these words today from @prisonculture.bsky.social & @mskellymhayes.bsky.social
"We also know this: hope and grief can coexist, and if we wish to transform the world, we must learn to hold and to process both simultaneously"

Whew, too true the last few days.

White people aren’t ignorant. They know they could fix all this shit today if they wanted to.

But the key here is they don’t want to.

Their rage at the targets of oppression largely stems from us not letting them forget objective reality exists

And there is nothing a bigot hates more than reality

I'm in my mid-50s. I started organizing against the violence of policing when I was a teenager. I've heard ALL of the so-called "reform" proposals. They are the SAME ONES that liberals are offering in 2026. Cops have never killed more people in my lifetime.

Gotta do something different.

A few people still keep stingless bees! But there's a reason most beekeepers would rather deal with full-on venom & stingers than these little guys.

There's a lot of wide-open space between "nonviolence" and "lie down & take it," and boy does it have a way of getting filled.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.
NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

I'm not particularly interested in convincing anyone on this point and won't try, the future is the future. But if the left side of the political spectrum is still the domain of scholarship and expertise, take note that you don't find scholars and experts you worrying about canceled US elections.

The fact we have clear video evidence of the ICE murder and they’re lying about it should put a nail in the coffin for “the truth speaks for itself.”

We all need to be advocates for the truth, most of all elected leaders.

Can’t stress enough how major media outlets are continually failing (or aligned with the owner of Twitter) when reporting on this. “Grok” didn’t do anything. The owner of grok made the CSAM generator into a premium service.

The reason you have congressional hearings is so
stories like this HAVE to get coverage for the normies. There were TEN Benghazi investigations. Give me twenty ICE investigations, with big damn press conferences.
A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.

Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”

The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

Senators from states where Trump’s Gestapo have killed people should publicly commit to rejecting unanimous consent in the senate until the House holds public hearings on what happened and the people responsible resign.
I'm monitoring first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement. I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence — and must end.

a small real thing you can do right now. Bree’s squad just sent 200 of these to my stepmom for the anti-ICE ministry at our church. you can chip in for materials and supplies at the links below
Someone who is more organized than me put them on a linktree, with our GFM that covers shipping & supplies. (And when we have too much money in there, we send it to folks in cities who need stuff immediately, like we did today!)

I uplifted that targeted campaign against Avelo Airlines #onhere a few times. Each time, someone would get into my mentions to say that the organizing "would not do anything." Those people were once again wrong. Those activists won.
