OTG activist in LA, disabled non-binary mom. Anarchist, antifascist always. I defend my community from ICE. Use alt text or I will steal your picture and not give you credit. I’m labeled because of the “mom” word. Sorry.

Social media companies need to be explicitly pressured into not allowing any images of the execution on their services. They have the content recognition systems to block it. If they allow it, it's an abdication of any responsibility to their users. There will be children that see it.

Border Patrol agents tried to kill this protester at the Lochiel tree-sit blockade and there’s really no other way to read that.

One protester, who had chained themself to a gravel hauling truck for more than seven hours, shutting down wall construction yesterday, was covered in a Mylar blanket by contractors last night. Border Patrol agents started the truck, forcing the protester, who was chained near the back of the vehicle, to inhale carbon monoxide fumes for several minutes under the blanket. "Trying to suffocate them," said Kate Scott, one of the organizers who witnessed the incident. "Then to make matters worse they began to drive the truck" Scott said, adding that she called 911 for help. A fire truck arrived but Border Patrol sent it away.

Last night in Lochiel, Arizona, heavily armed Border Patrol agents fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters trying to stop a double border wall from cutting through the San Rafael Valley. Melissa del Bosque reports on what witnesses say happened next. Read full story🔗🦂:

I was just telling a friend it seems like the Trump admin has slammed the accelerator to the floor in terms of oppression and the glorification of violence. I don't like this new normal.

In any case, I can offer this much now: Even considering where we are currently, the days ahead somehow manage to be increasingly dark, ominous, and deeply shameful for us all. 3/3

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.

All this time, while Defendants have refused to identify Does 4 and 5 or respond to Leo’s discovery requests, the six-month statute of limitations on his FTCA claims has nearly expired. So, on October 6, Leo sought Defendants’ consent to file an amended complaint that (1) adds his FTCA claims against the United States and (2) adds the names of Does 1, 2, and 3. These minimal changes are shown in a redline attached to this filing. Defendants, however, refused to consent to Leo’s amendments because there is not a protective order in place. One of Defendants’ positions with respect to the protective order is that the “full legal names” of all government employees “should be confidential.” (ECF 109, at 2). That position, apparently, means that Defendants even oppose Leo identifying specific officers in his lawsuit against those very officers based on their misconduct in carrying out their public duties. Because Defendants will not consent to Leo’s amendments, Leo has filed this motion for leave.Justice also requires granting Leo leave to name the Doe officers as defendants. Despite DHS’s remarkable position that all government employees’ names are confidential, parties routinely sue government employees by name. In fact, Rule 10(a) “requires a complaint to ‘include the names of all the parties.’” Doe v. Frank, 951 F.2d 320, 322 (11th Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a)). “Lawsuits are public events.” Id. Rule 10(a) “protects the public’s legitimate interest in knowing all of the facts involved, including the identity of the parties.” Id. Only in an “exceptional case” can a party’s name be withheld from the public. Id. And that bar is even higher for public employees since their employment “diminishes their privacy interests” given “the corresponding public interest in knowing how public employees are performing their jobs.” Stern v. FBI, 737 F.2d 84, 92 (D.C. Cir. 1984);

It's been a struggle for reporters to get DHS to provide the names of officers who violate people's civil rights. Now, in our case against DHS's construction-site raids, the government is arguing in court that its employees names are "confidential" and should not be made public during litigation.

DHS's position on the protective order: "We cannot agree to the striking of this provisions. The phone numbers, physical addresses, full legal names, and email addresses of current and former employees in the federal government ... should be confidential."

this is the only reason why certain people wanted to know—and spread—her name without her consent. so they can abuse her, too.

people should read Liliana's work, always and ESPECIALLY her work on death penalty over these many years.

Liliana Segura@lilianasegura.bsky.social · 17h ago

I've been thinking and talking and writing about the death penalty for my whole adult life and the past week+ has been truly surreal and exhausting, not only because of the onslaught of horrors but because there seems to be so little historical memory of what this system is and always has been.

There is absolutely no difference between: 1) hiring thousands of ICE agents, pointing them at immigrant communities, and giving them a deportation quota...🤡 And 2) hiring thousands of cops, pointing them at Black communities, and giving them an arrest quota...🤡 It is exactly the same thing.

Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · last yr.

Classic video. I will never stop sharing this. Do you think Black people want this cop running around their city with a ticket quota and an arrest quota, ruining the lives of Black people for no reason? Or trained and working as a detective, solving homicides, SAs, and returning stolen property?

Y'all have no idea how much I spread the toottootmotherfuckers.com website, 'cause it's hilarious and easy af to remember. And yes, we are still making whistle kits out here. 🖤

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · yesterday

People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Bex 🖤🏴@thinlyveiledtruth.cryptoanarchy.network · yesterday

It's definitely hitting me today that it is the point to traumatize us to the level of incoherence. I know this. It's not a surprise. But holy shit am I feeling it today. Between the ICE surge, the Skid Row Shit Show, and Trump and Hegseth's comments (and now Pentagon announcement)... Dude.

Bex 🖤🏴@thinlyveiledtruth.cryptoanarchy.network · yesterday

Well, the day we all knew was coming has arrived. We have ICE on video using CA EXEMPT plates. Those plates are only supposed to be used by local agencies (not just LEOs too, but things like DWP). They should have known we'd be watching for that. Way to shatter public trust.

The DSA can't even be assed to at bare minimum hold Mamdani to account for doing shit like letting the NYPD get away with attacking protestors opposed to Netanyahu at the U.N. and are instead applying that punishment to folk taking him to task to that. Absolutely pathetic behavior.
