Hey.
Time on social media will not meaningfully increase your capacity to help combat the horrors.
If all it's doing for you is making you feel the horrors more deeply and constantly, please know that you are under no obligation to do that to yourself.

Sad but understandable, and the recommendations for news outlets to follow here are fantastic. This list is where I get 95% of my journalism.
Proud to be included in this short list, very sad as many others are to see such a critical platform (one that inspired our own approach to reporting on movements and resistance) shutter.
Ten years is a great run and admitting when a project has reached its terminus takes courage! @igd.bsky.social

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.
Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Keep yourselves anonymous, and get the agents' faces ON CAMERA if you can. Then, send it to icelist.is so we can get charges against as many of these terrorists as possible.

ICE is attacking journalists w munitions and taking them into custody. JOURNALISTS. in the USA.
Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.
His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.
In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.
