As a warning to everyone who is not in the states. Don't travel here. ICE has continuously "detained" people for paperwork issues. 2 weeks or longer with no way to contact lawyers or family. For your own safety. Don't come to the states.

The way we win is to stop REacting and start acting, largely avoiding & ignoring them as much as we can. We have to get them on the back foot, responding to our actions rather than the other way around. They simply can't handle the masses making moves, hence the shock & awe to keep us off balance.

When people call modern Republicans #Nazis, it’s not an exaggeration. Their trajectory is clear, and they have been following a historical playbook for a long time, especially #maga

When a choice infringes on the public’s ability to avoid death, severe illness, or disability, it can no longer be characterized as a “personal choice”. Enough of the population is too young, old, or immunocompromised. This type of individualism is a selfishness that undermines society itself.

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

By functionally closing agencies like #USAID and defunding #WHO, the USA is ending its PR campaign. Without the reputation laundering, what’s left is a core of economic #imperialism and anti-democratic actions against the global south. Now the world can see the truth laid bare. #usafascism

The first thing to unlearn RIGHT NOW is something to which we all have grown completely accustomed: the idea that some spaces or activities are apolitical.
The American dinner table consistently reinforces this idea. Y'all have gotten comfortable passing the salt to, basically, Nazis.

It’s still #BlackHistoryMonth y’all, no matter what these racists say. It only disappears if you let them. Center black voices; find ways, big and small, to sabotage the violent work of #fascism. Getting used to #discomfort & #confrontation— they’re betting on you avoiding that. Make it a practice.
