One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

La Catedral wasn’t a crime scene. It was a bilingual community gathering — families celebrating culture and connection. What happened was a militarized show of force against Latino families. It was meant to intimidate, to remind them: even your joy is suspect.

Three small children ran through dust and gunfire, dodging rubber bullets to escape armed agents from ICE, FBI, DEA, and ATF. “I didn’t get caught,” one boy said. “Nobody got handcuffs on me.” No child should have to run from men with guns in America. But in Idaho, they did.

Federal agents raided Family Night at La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho. A community racetrack packed with families, food, and music. They came under the guise of “illegal betting.” What they unleashed was terror: children zip-tied, parents separated, and chaos erupting across a crowd of 1,000.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

ICE claims to have taken 900 people from Chicagoland, but the state police are now going to do crowd control to stop the protesters who are trying to get in the way.
Federal agents claim as many as 900 people have been detained in recent weeks in the Chicago area, but have shared few details on the arrests, making it difficult to independently verify the information and background of individuals.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

thinking of two headlines i've read this week about the EPA giving Tr*mp power to defund programs that would ultimately bring relief and more autonomy to individuals (for example through solar energy infrastructure) , and also how many more jobs for ice are available than regular jobs at this time
