House arrest is still a form of incarceration. Neither the Canadian nor American governments have rectified the wrongs they committed against Peltier & his community. But as Peltier himself has said, house arrest is a million times better than what he was living in (prison).
This morning, Leonard Peltier was released from over 49 years of wrongful incarceration. Peltier is an enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and will reside on his Tribal homelands in North Dakota.

If elections severely distort your sense of the world around you and you can't see populations beyond exit polls and voter maps, more serious political education is necessary. Outside electoralism and the state, a whole universe of struggles, strategies, and methods exists.

Activists in tenant unions + rapid response networks supported working-class people in #Colorado targeted by militarized #ICE raids.

Agents used flash-bang grenades and went door-to-door at an apartment complex asking people for their IDs. The raid was spurred by far-Right conspiracy theories.

Unpopular opinion, but people thinking Mexican and Cdn govts played Trump by agreeing to what was already in place (border securitization) are misreading ideological dimension of far right rise

Anti migrant racism is cross party, but openly conceding it here entrenches it as "common sense" racism.

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.

trade war btwn imperialist allies (US & Canada) is means to use economic nationalism to rally behind otherwise status-quo. struggle between 'foreign' & 'domestic' capital maintains capitalism, hurts ppl through price gouging, reinforces racist nationalism & intensifies extraction on Indigenous lands

I know not everyone is here in a news-gathering capacity, but news-sharing is serving that function. Here's some stuff I try never to do unless there's huge urgency and I know the story:

1. Posting/reposting screencaps of news stories, without a link. URLS are not suppressed here! Don't do it.

The MK-84 is made by General Dynamics, who've also expanded production for Ukraine, at times employing some of the very same workers to make ammo for Ukraine as they did to make bombs for Israel.

IF YOU THINK YOU SEE ICE:

Don’t share unverified info! Contact your local rapid response network (RRN) immediately.

RRNs respond to local ICE presence and provide support to neighbors facing detention/deportation. There are local RRNs across CA, many w/ hotlines: www.ccijustice.org/rapid-response

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

Already there are wannabe local influencers here in Chicago making all-caps posts about ICE raids in neighborhood Facebook groups because their friend saw an unmarked cop car somewhere and they consider that evidence enough to growth-hack off of people's fear. Listen to trusted orgs, not randos.

this is about protests, but i’m going to use it to talk about protecting people from ICE. join a group, get alerts, show up, and literally get in the way.

it’s not as scary as it sounds, and ICE raids are only going to increase, so better get a feel for how these actions work sooner than later.

This is enforced disappearance, which is a violation of international human rights law (and can be a violation of international criminal law). Anyone held in government custody when the gov refuses to confirm their whereabouts is a victim.

I am increasingly concerned about the expanded use of enforced disappearance against migrants, in particular, in the US. It is is a well documented practice in BP custody, but I'm seeing more reports from lawyers in listservs and on social media that they cannot confirm their clients whereabouts.
