This is madness. Unhinged, brutal thugs abusing people for no reason other than bigoted racial profiling. ABOLISH ICE
This is terrifying!
ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)
This is Trump’s America.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

I talked with @ejeris.bsky.social about fascism, coalition building, and the compassion and shared knowledge we need to create safety and justice in these times. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or access a transcript + audio here:
Fascism Isn’t Coming — It’s Here. Now What?
“We don’t get to choose the people who show up for us and who save us sometimes,” says Ejeris Dixon.

Let this radicalize YOU.
Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.
Friendly reminder:
Due process is how we can be sure the people Miller and his henchmen are removing are legally subject to removal in the first place.

If you were across the street from this, would you think the six people in masks and hoodies were law enforcement? Or would you think you were witnessing a fucking kidnapping?
Six ICE officers. For someone who wrote an op-ed.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

We have a major fight ahead, but I see no other choice.
It will take some time, but I am absolutely convinced that we will defeat the forces of fascism. When that happens, as after the collapse of slavery & Jim Crow, the brazen repression & lawlessness of the old regime will help us articulate & implement genuine democracy & liberation.
