There’s still an occupation on our state by the federal government.
We’re still asking community to patrol and observe the illegal actions committed by ICE.
Please continue to support our neighbors with mutual aid. Our neighbors are struggling to stay afloat.
Ask your electeds to do better.
chuffed.org/project/crip... this is my regular reminder that we are still here and working to stay out of the red. Celebrate and honor Ramadan by considering spreading the word and donating to us. Let Gaza communications ring freely. You can't stop the signal.
While the Trump administration is forcing the National Park Service to remove mentions of slavery from George Washington’s house, sites like the Legacy Museum in Montgomery continue to tell the story of enslavement in a direct, uncompromised way, making clear the connection between past and present.
The "right to defend itself." Occupying neighborhoods. Blocking ambulances from victims. Building pretext to hurt kids. Taking billions from US taxpayers to do it all.
Is this the Israeli military? Or ICE? Yes.
@premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the jarring parallels: zeteo.com/p/why-does-i...
They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.
If ICE and genocide and grift and tyranny weren’t enough, this alone should have fire running down every street in America.
This isn’t the way to live.
We do not have to live this way.
The Target boycott that AFT joined on Labor Day is seeing success. This holiday season, we're doubling down to demonstrate organized labor's economic power, as well as the consequences of ignoring the will of workers and the good of working families.

DC does not have members in Congress. They need ours. Tell your reps to do everything they can to stop the increased militarized policing in, reject current and future attempts to interfere in DC Home Rule, and support H.R. 51, the Washington DC Admission Act ➡️ freedcproject.org/allies
BREAKING: At least 140 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air attacks on the Gaza Strip since dawn on Sunday, medical sources have told Al Jazeera.

The Trump administration's assault on Palestine activism may seem unprecedented, but the parallels to the post-9/11 "War on Terror" are chillingly familiar. However, this attempt to quash dissent will fail, because you cannot deport a movement.

Many thanks to @annabower.bsky.social for this thread. As it makes clear, government's strategy for dealing with the order to facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia is to send Drew Ensign into court without telling him what's going on.
A few questions this raises:
This is the price you are paying for Zionism. This erosion of American civil liberties you assumed were beyond the reach of bad political actors. And you are next if you voice dissent.
Welp, I guess the bare-bones letter from Rubio was determined to be “facially reasonable and bona fide.”
Note that this was largely expected; the standard is exceptionally deferential. This decision will be appealable up to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and then again to the circuit courts.
Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation.
Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture...

38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen. 39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions 40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs. 41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there. They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.
NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now.
That is not this assignment.
Thread of places to go to get started. More coming out of LiST this Thursday.
Mask bans are ableist, discriminatory ugly laws.
Disabled advocates have been warning for years that if people didn’t help normalize masking, bans would follow
Please call legislators in New York and tell them No mask bans!
Medical exemptions aren’t enough, everyone needs the legal right to mask
I know we are exhausted from the no really this meets the textbook definition of fascism conversation, but exhibit G.
There is a way to resist this both from inside museums and from outside by collectively choosing to learn, archive, and protect the knowledge they want to erase.
No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.
"It is the Republican president’s latest salvo against pillars of society" is right.
While RFK is making it impossible to track infectious diseases Governor Hochul is trying to sneak a mask ban through the NY budget!
the war crime piece of it is being totally underplayed. like yea, the way they talked about it is fucked up. but WHAT they talked about was just as fucked up!!
