I keep thinking about what DHS is asking of Minneapolis and all of us. Stay quietly in your homes while we break down your neighbor’s door and drag her out crying. Walk away when you see us chasing a child down the street. Say nothing, look away.

What an evil thing to ask for.

“The AI boosterism at Davos reeks of desperation, delusion, and dissembling…But what stood out to me…is that they have largely given up on organic adoption by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion.”

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

I saw that Philly is suing and fine.

But I think Philly should republish the full exhibit as a hard copy special issue zine/pamphlet and put them in every school in the city and every public library.

Philly should create a special curriculum unit and pick a week to do a citywide teach in.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The march to fascism was paved with categories that justified the erosion of our rights to free speech and expression, to dissent, to say "no, I am not a cog in a killing machine overseas or domestically."

"homeland security" (n a z i dogwhistle, BTW)
"national security"
"terrorist"

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

This university is blackmailing staff by threatening to artificially suppress their pay and deny them a bonus if they refuse to accept a much worse pension.
'Last year the university said staff who are willing to move will receive a one-off payment of between £5,800 and £10,000 and see their pay increase in line with nationally agreed uplifts in the years ahead.' 1/2

"Every single one of our unions have a story about a member, whether they were at work or not, who have been illegally detained."
@mplsunions.bsky.social President Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou is right: ICE is disrupting our workplaces and putting innocent working people in danger.

The labor movement’s guiding principle is solidarity. We’ll never be divided by this administration’s strategy of fear.

The men who put them back in shackles after those two women saved their comrade's life should heavily consider their honor and that the price of redeeming it is much cheaper on Earth than it is in Hell.
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Just noticing the posters the clergy are carrying. They say ABDUCTED at the top & give a name & in some instances also a photo of people who have been kidnapped by ICE. Again, this is a powerful moral & political statement & draws on protests against other authoritarian regimes.

In case anyone else has been looking for some guidance through yet another set of twisted questions designed to manufacture consent for government policy.
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...
