- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyThe mercenary scum who ruin lives for ICE are not carrying this gear because they are in danger—unfortunately. They are carrying it to normalize militarized kidnappings on our streets. If that works, they will be doing it to the rest of us soon. Resistance to ICE is self-defense of all humanity.

- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyTonight, every night, approximately 400,000 people in pretrial detention (i.e. in jail, awaiting trial, because they couldn't afford bail). As Fiona Apple notes in this mesmerizing video, 60,000 of them are women (66% of whom have minor child at home). These folks should be home with their families.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org
- I spoke with Science about scholars—myself included—self-censoring. In my case, my team and I feared losing our NSF funding for Expert Voices Together (expertvoicestogether.org), a program, ironically, built to support researchers and journalists under attack. www.science.org/content/arti...
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyVideos of agents breaking car windows aside: For the most part, the 5th and 4th are holding. Most of the time when confronted ICE melts away. They don’t have the resources to tie up agents for hours engaged in a conflict or waiting for a target to leave the home.

- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyI had to sit thru a commencement speech about how civility (undefined) is our most important value. So let me say these folks want us to be polite to them as they destroy our society and even kill our babies. And we should never grant them that or any peace
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyThe modern transmisogynistic panic is very explicitly about the policing of sex, with "feminism", "women's safety", "the reality of sex" and other slogans serving as fig leaves for patriarchal enforcement. GC orgs like Sex Matters have explicitly stated they want trans existence to be punished.

- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyIt’s true. I think there’s tremendous opportunity right now to eventually change everything, together.
- Our healthcare & education systems should *encourage* experimentation with gender norms & identity, and support the full range of gender transition & safe, consenting sexuality. That's the best way promote a healthy, fun, informed, & engaged holistic relationship with sex & gender for *everyone.*
- Freely providing each other with all we need to thrive together (Basic Income, healthcare, housing, education, communal care, utilities, public transit, open borders, access to wilderness, etc) not only allows a better life, but gives us more subjective time to enjoy it. We can all live deliciously.
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyThe goal here is to define transness as fraud to delegitimize transness and classify trans people as a kind of criminal. It's about whether or not trans people are full human beings before the law or something less than that Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
- this is what’s bothered me about this one. i have the same issues with the US military as every non-imperialist, but the declaration that a specific kind of person is inherently deceitful & without honor, undisciplined, arrogant, & selfish & therefore unsuitable for work is chilling in implications.
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ Partyit is stories like this that remind us that AI optimists are not just delusional — they are dangerous. This is functionally no different than putting a puppet on the stand and making it say everything you want the deceased to say, *except that the judge thinks it is real*

- They will of course not even stop with the illegal and immoral occupation of the Gaza Strip. Ask any victim of American, British, and Russian empires: The colonial machine, when set into motion, won't stop itself until it collapses from administrative failure or the resistance of the oppressed.
- This is exactly why all healthcare facilities should be (free to use) publicly-funded, worker-managed cooperatives. Workers know what we, our patients and our communities need to thrive, and it's *not* a more comfortably insulated owning class.

- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyTo save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.
- A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. Learn more: boltsmag.org/how-vol...

- This shows why liberals are willing to gamble with fascist creep: It creates a ratcheting hostage situation where then population accepts less and less tenable living conditions, because the right can act as a cartoonishly evil boogieman. The Owning Class wins no matter who prevails electorally.

- We DO NOT recommend using these against law enforcement, deputized or otherwise, where you will be outmatched and only add to your legal trouble. But a culture of impunity for cop violence breeds vigilante brutality against anyone perceived as different. You can only help others if you're alive!
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyHaving ever worked for or snitched to ICE should from now on be the kind of thing you have to run away from. In ten years when antifascists out you as a former ICE agent it should be the kind of thing where you have to pack your bags, immediately move town, and change your and your family’s names

- Precisely. What *we* experience as "inefficiency" - long waits, shitty websites, broken helplines, no communication between agencies, lagging services, infrastructure so poorly maintained it collapes and needs to be replaced - are in fact direct results of the "efficiency" of austerity fetishists.
- However many imagined freeloaders a Universal Basic Income system endures, we will experience a massive cultural renaissance from all the writers, artists, scientists, inventors, organizers, and helpers who can dig deep into their special interest without worrying about it making survival money.

- "This collective project unfolds as a policy of liberation and a commitment to life and peace. EZLN is lending land to those who lost their property rights because they sold their land and/or migrated. Zapatistas are preparing for that day after the foreseeable capitalist collapse"
- Man, good thing we brought to justice whatever monstrous regime was in power between 2009 and 2014. Imagine how embarrassing and infuriating it would be for the party that oversaw those horrors to be allowed to lead the fight for our civil rights now.
- Now we need to show up in the numbers and force that make the administration actually obey these court orders. Their police state certainly won't enforce the rule of law on our behalf.

- There are a lot of environmental and social disasters that can disable wifi or cell phone service when you need them most. It's worth it to have a communications network that can connect independently of them. Have a rapidly actionable plan to get to and communicate from a safe place when it does.
- Any elected representative who doesn't put their entire career into stopping this will be remembered, by those left to remember them, as a fascist collaborator and a midwide to local genocides and global ecocide.

- Please NEVER talk to cops; especially without a lawyer present. If you have the misfortune of encountering police who request info other than can be discerned by your lawfully obtained ID, keep your mouth shut unless you are calmly, clearly asserting your right to legal counsel. Now, more than ever.

- We need to enact sanctuary policies at every city and county level - we should *not* assume that any state-level protections will remain in place, and the more layers of protection we can provide queers, migrants, refugees, and colonized folks, the safer we will all be.
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ Partyremember this is just how much they want to increase domestic facilities for holding and deporting migrants, there's the entirely separate question of CECOT, which quite frankly shows every sign of being a death camp (people are there to be worked to death, no contact w family, ETC)

- The problem comes from liberal passivity, expecting a politicized impeachment process to overthrow a fascist empire for them. Impeach Trump, like we should have impeached Biden, Obama, Bush, & Clinton out of office. But don't expect an oligarchy to dismantle itself. Only we can save each other.
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartySocial movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders. Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.
- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.
- ICE says they will bring charges against the two Immigration Rapid Response Hotline volunteers who demanded that agents show their badges before seizing two men from the Charlottesville courthouse. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...
- "The Lesser of Two Evils" is at least as much bullshit when applied to politics between empires as it is when applied to parties within them. The empire fighting your empire is not your comrade. It's just jostling for its turn to profit off your suffering.

- Polish, Filipino, Kurdish, Jewish, Chehalis, Afro-American and, for that matter, American, are all cultural identities that speak to real eddies of culture, history, & migration. "White" is not cultural identity, it's a power dynamic, based on a body aesthetic that is deliberately fluid & arbitrary.

- To be clear: Any "we" that doesn't include migrants and queers is a lie. Queerness is just deviation from an imposed gender regime. Citizenship is a bureaucratic fantasy, disposed of by an authoritarian whim. We *ALL* have a stake in this. I you (think you) don't, your loved ones and neighbors do.

- Reposted by South 🏳️🌈 Sound 🌻 Green 🏳️⚧️ PartyBigots always imagine children, families, and schools as fundamentally separate from queer people. To them, LGBTQ books "expose" children to ideas that originate outside the classroom. They do not understand schools as places where gay and trans students, families, and teachers exist.
