The goal of these ICE protests is to slow down the monster and, ultimately, to kill it. There is no negotiation. There are no demands. Cease, or die.
chadloder.bsky.social Chad Loder @chadloder.bsky.social · May 9
Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Absolute fucking 🔥.

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation.

Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

MCDC is changing their public entrance from 3rd and madison to the other side of the building on main. the new entrance was set to be open on 2/14 but as of yesterday the ramp is still being constructed so hasn't moved from madison yet. we'll be setting up on main once they start releasing there.

during severe weather it’s essential that we look out for and care for our neighbors, especially our unhoused neighbors. stop to check in w people and see if they need anything. carry things like hand warmers, emergency blankets, cash with you. write down emergency shelters/resources on notecards.

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.

Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

community support and solidarity is more important than ever, and it can feel overwhelming to know what to do. don’t let it immobilize you. there are essential things each of us can do that can have tangible impacts and are valuable no matter the scope.
Screenshot of instagram story posted by pdx_jailsupport. text on colorful background reading “don’t get disoriented by all the terrifying things happening, or that could happen. as always, look at the points you can intervene where you are. for instance, police are starting to harass distro efforts, which will be even more critical as nonprofits struggle. are we going to let the police threaten them?” screenshot of instagram story posted by pdx_jailsupport. text on colorful background reading “fliering neighborhoods with ICE preparedness tips and actually talking to your neighbors. finding unused properties in your neighborhood and telling unhoused people about them. interrupting violence and bigotry as you encounter it. getting supplies together for community responses. make your marks where you can.”

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!
Spread Information not panic When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! S.A.L.U.T.E. Size/Strength "5 to 6 Armed Agitators" Actions/Activity "Harassing random people on the move" Location & Direction "Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St" Uniform/Clothes "Dark Jackets, ballcaps" Time & Date of Observation "8:32 PM June01" Equipment & Weapons "They have Body Armor and Pepper spray" Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" Use your Judgement!

Ok so lots of people want to know how to help immigrants right now, which is great! Here is a brief thread about what I learned from @ufw.bsky.social folks while hanging out with them. They also hold training so if they're in your area, look em up and ask if you can attend!

Some things you can do to support someone incarcerated. This info was gathered from attending a Rattling the Cages video conference and is in no way exhaustive. Rattling the Cages is great and we recommend checking them out, as well as seeking out and supporting your local prisoner support projects!
Text on red background with illustration of a jail cell “the judicial system tries to make people disappear. show them they haven’t been forgotten.” What you can do for someone who is incarcerated: Incarceration is structured to be as isolating and traumatizing as possible. If someone you know has been arrested, there ARE things you can do to help. Outside support can make all the difference during someone’s time behind bars.

When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal.

Thanks to @micahflee.com for reporting.

It’s going to be chilly this week with warming daytime temperatures! Remember to wear layers when going outdoors.

Visit multco.us/cold for safety tips and an interactive map of warm spaces.
An infographic from Multnomah County titled ‘Stay warm. Stay dry. Stay safe.’ It lists warning signs of dropping body temperature for adults and infants. For adults, the signs include shivering, extreme tiredness, confusion, fumbling hands, and slurred speech. For infants, the signs are being cold to the touch and too tired to eat. The graphic shows a blue figure wearing an orange hat and shivering. Snowflakes are depicted around the figure. The URL multco.us/cold is displayed at the bottom right.
