Leviticus 19:33-34 “When a foreigner resides among you, do not mistreat them. The foreigner living among you must be treated as one of your own people and you must love them as you love yourself, because you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

"The Worker's Eye Map (ojonc.org) by @siembranc is officially live. This tool shows confirmed ICE operations in NC so families and workers can remain informed. Only verified sightings—never rumors.
To report suspicious ICE activity, call Siembra’s hotline: 1-888-622-4616."

Today was Day Two of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. Members of our Safe to Work community patrols hit the streets early this morning and observed federal agents preparing to spend their day questioning grocery shoppers.

The Fugitive Slave Act turned the entire nation against the southern slaveowners. Then, as now, fascists were a shrinking, unpopular, self-deluded minority.
Each city has been able to learn from their counterparts and add on to make frustrating these goons and their racist slave patrols even more effective, it’s a beautiful thing

YEP!

Here in Chicago, I 3D printed over 1000 whistles, using the model below. They're painfully loud, while still being very lightweight and inexpensive.

Take it from a former dispatcher: it is very hard for them to coordinate where they are going next or ask for backup if they can’t hear or transmit on their radios

Aside from alerting people to the presence of ICE nearby, the cool thing about deafening whistles is they make it very hard for these creeps to hear their radios and their phones, as you can see towards the end of this video
Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

I really did not enjoy Jay Bhattacharya & Matthew Memoli’s screed against pandemic & virology research for the flagship blog of a “free-market think tank." Instead of getting mad, I accepted @jeremyfaust.bsky.social's kind invitation to take a factual & scientific blowtorch to it.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

I agree with Pastor Woolf: this is a “spiritual emergency”. The brutalization of protestors & dehumanizing treatment of migrants must stop. Every religious leader needs to stand up.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.

Every single human in the world is the product of migration.

It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.

That’s never going to change.

Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

And now, this mosquito species is showing up in places it really shouldn't be.
