If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

'Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.' MLK’s words ring true as ICE inflicts terror on communities across the U.S.
Silence protects abuse. Stand up, organize, and demand dignity and accountability -- nonviolently, relentlessly. 💚✊

She keeps screaming she's an autistic disabled person and they still man handle her like she is a piece of meat. #FuckICE
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens.
The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens.
There are more of us.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

In response to the Bondi Beach shooting, PM Albanese convened a meeting today where federal, state, and territorial leaders have unanimously agreed to strengthen GUN laws.
Australia emphasizes public safety over individual rights to firearms, contrasting our “thoughts and prayers” approach.

The United States had 15,186 gun homicides.
