It is wild that when we speak up about ICE terrorizing our neighborhoods, so many people urge us to call the police. They’re the same damn thing! In fact, you can’t even spell POLICE without ICE!

The thing that is infuriating is that the vast majority of people who will die over this will be innocent Brown people but 90% of the discourse will be about Americans possibly dying

Pasadena and Altadena clergy speak out against ICE, calling the raids a spiritual attack and wound on our communities! They urge us to fight for justice and love! 👊 AND WE WILL.

There are masked terrorists running around my city pointing guns at people for taking their pictures. And we can’t call the government to protect us from them because they are the government.

I hate when people applaud shitty institutions for caving to activist pressure and doing “the right thing.” The shitty institutions don’t deserve the applause. The activists do.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

ICE and the DHS have claimed multiple times an increase in assaults against their agents to justify officers wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves. The data states otherwise. https://trib.al/xRANYpj

"Historical records show slave traders targeted African groups familiar with cattle herding, like the Fulani of modern-day Cameroon. The new study shows at least one cow was brought directly from the region at the same time, suggesting herders and their cattle might have come as a sort of package."

I wish people would listen to people who write & teach writing for a living. We know that there is something extremely important contained within the process of writing. Writing, editing, revising, getting feedback, sitting with your thoughts, changing your thoughts. Writing IS thinking.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? K-12 teachers who abuse children are seldom held accountable. They are passed off to other districts, much like the Catholic Church moving around abusive priests.

When I hear about cops, and cop-adjacent people, unaliving victims, it reminds that my batterer used to talk about having cop fantasies. He would muse about how if he had become a cop instead of a teacher, he would use his badge “to put attractive women in their place…”

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.
