This is why people are in the streets. This is why everyone should be in the streets. Share this and spread it wide.
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Everyone loves this book which means you will too which means you'll decide you have to start an antiatuhoritarian knightly order of antifascists during the collapse of the US and then invite me to join it.
We are floored in the best way: AMPLITUDES: An Anthology of Queer & Trans Futurity is a USA Today Bestselling book!

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/

Border and Rule is available for free download!

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.

I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you

Completely unacceptable to be doing this to anyone, press or otherwise.
This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

Head injuries like Sean's are very serious. Go immediately to the ER even if the victim is alert and talking. Brain swelling has a short delay and bleeds can start later. You can be fine one minute and dead within an hour.
Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

Now is a good time to get into preparedness, wherever you are. Being individually prepared is a good way to be in a better position to help others.

Your basic goal, to start, is to be ready for three days in your home without power or water and to be able to leave quickly if need be.
