Unapologetically antifascist. PNW. Never be afraid of pissing off Nazis. Be afraid of what happens if you don't.

So if the president calls you a terrorist, Rubio can murder you. Please note that Stephen Miller just called the Democratic party a "domestic, extremist organization." Pay attention. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

Around 5pm today, HSI and Park Police were conducting an arrest in downtown DC. Residents gathered around them to record, and when one tried to ask the guy being arrested what he was being accused of, a Park Police officer shoved him back and told him to stay 8 feet away.
maybe it was bad to allow the claremont institute to train sheriffs who will now receive bounties from the government for snatching people off the street.

This is great reporting on what's happening in one county in western Nebraska, one where I've spent a lot of time, as people watch ICE raids and deportations in other places and expect it will get to Chase County sooner or later. So much better than NYT-style stories on rural places and politics.

people in the passenger pickup lanes stopping to look at this is going to cause an accident—but it’s so distracting how can you not?
I can’t stress how dead DC is right now. Walking down U Street before and after a movie on Labor Day weekend, and it’s about as close to a ghost town as it was during COVID.
RIP Graham Greene, one of the best to ever do it. Fuck what a loss, what a blow 💔
Greetings! A sizable crowd is here outside of Metro Detention Center. They marched from LA City Hall. The gates were closed as they approached. Lots of banging on the fence.

Real fun Monday for me, I've had a massive pain flare and I'm deep in the brain fog. I'm naturally conscious. This is why I need your help. This is worse than normal but I normally have at least one day a week where I can't do anything. I can't work so my survival is through #MutualAid alone.

UPDATE: DOJ says it expects that the children will be returned to ORR by 10:30 pm. The report also offers some clarity on how many children were loaded on planes (76, purportedly). (But the putative class isn't limited to those put on planes today -- plaintiffs estimate # in the hundreds)
why are they just standing on the street by an unmarked van in the dark good question I have no idea
Really tired of the “run into the National Guard in the dark” jumpscares (outside NoMa station on Florida)

🧵 1/4 🚨 Spotted in Oxnard, CA: Community alert posters are warning that a security guard is working for ICE and has engaged in following activists in his personal vehicle.
Things I loved about today’s Washington Spirit game: Pride pennant, fireworks, Bang Garcon, Drag Queens 👑, Free DC chant, Abolish ICE banner, running into friends, talented players, and a great game. Things I did not like: dozens of National Guard with giant guns standing around outside.
This is quite remarkable and praiseworthy given that it happened in the early hours of a Sunday morning before a holiday.
In Los Angeles, this should be done everywhere. The pics of Americans snatched by ICE Gestapo is being projected on the side of a detention center in Los Angeles. #iceout #losangeles #california
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
As a student, I used my backpack kind of like my desk, so I don't get it, but I'm open to being wrong & not up to date on best practices. But my point is more about the number of restrictions on students & how oppressive it feels.

backpacks--might have a gun in there. Cell phones? It's not hard to just tell a kid to put it away. Why do you need to spend hours arguing & legislating yet more laws when so far, laws brutalize kids rather than protect them in the 1st place?
Some of y'all are completely out of touch with how much the police state impacts schools & students now. More mornings than not, my kids walk by cops at the door to enter the building. They spend the day juggling their supplies class to class because they are not allowed to have their...

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Jokes aside, US Parks Police is notorious in DC for being especially brutal. They terrorize unhoused neighbors, trashing their belongings if they try to set up a tent & constantly waking up anyone trying to catch some sleep on a bench.
Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...
Judges are working at 2:30am on a Sunday on a holiday weekend to try to stop the Trump admin from deporting... UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN. Depravity doesn't begin to describe it.
I would hope that daily deployment of so many chemical weapons against citizens that a primary school is being forced to move and apartment dwellers are being gassed in their homes constitutes a change in scope of land use. Plus, there seems to be possibly unauthorized construction happening.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

An important thread. Trump tried to illegally deport dozens of children by loading them onto airplanes bound for Guatemala at 2 am on Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!

Many thanks to independent journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) for all the footage she captured.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Seen on my run in Rock Creek Park today. Parking lot near Beach and Tilden. Paper taped on over a Harris 2024 sign.
Solidarity with all those making a stand against racism and fascism today. Together we can beat back the far-right politics of hatred and division - a politics that Australian bosses would LOVE to see entrenched within the Australian working-class. ✊
Cleaning up downtown Los Angeles this weekend: 1. Remove or scratch out fascist garbage. 2. Replace with wholesome messaging that promotes compassion and community.

Los Angeles, CA - DHS continuing to block the sidewalk in front of MDC. LAPD cruisers now driving through the street telling protesters to get on sidewalk. Possible they mean the other side but even then, these cruisers are driving very quickly and noticeably erratic.
Oh my god!!
Out here at the MDC in Los Angeles where a couple dozen protesters are outside the fence. DHS has already maced half a dozen people and just sent pepperballs at those assembled
Greetings! I’m here at Metro Detention Centee, the site of a 24/7 protest in Los Angeles. Just got here, a dispersal order is being announced via loudspeaker by DHS.
i feel like the lot of the country stopped paying attention after the stories about how they're all just wandering the Mall harmlessly and then lost the thread from there like the oafishness here is truly very funny but also... they're just breaking into an apartment complex???
Chicago is a wonderful city. Trump is a fucking liar

The announcement comes just weeks after the August 8 attack left CDC staff reeling, with one staffer saying employees felt like “sitting ducks” as the shooter unloaded hundreds of bullets, around 200 of which struck six CDC buildings, leaving bullet holes in windows.
