If you recently gained a Democratic governor, PLEASE ask them to withdraw your National Guard from DC.

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.
Follow @freedcproject.bsky.social, we need help from our neighbors with governors and congressional representation that can vote. We don’t have those. Hegseth has escalated sending Humvees and other tactical vehicles.
Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 4d ago"We call on governors to decline all requests for more soldiers or weapons to the nation’s capital. We call on the next Congress to give command of the DC Guard to DC's elected leaders. And we celebrate the new governors of GA, IA, NV, OH, and TX and urge you to recall your troops on Day 1."
Please? Frontliners are TIRED. Patrollers are exhausted, many having done daily patrols for almost two years now. ICE in LA is very active at night at MDC, Twin Towers, and the Van Nuys Jail. Connect with local orgs (CSDC covers them all) and join a patrol. We need people!!!!
frontline intellectual | critical management theory | abolition@organizer.bsky.social · 11h agoalso, please do frontline work, particularly responding to ICE kidnapping our neighbors...do that until you absolutely drop...the "blue wave" is not going to abolish DHS, ICE, Guantanamo...people's lives & something so much larger depend on it...you are not too special to be excluded from the work
Omfg 11pm at night is not the time to laugh this hard holy fuck 💀
Virginia S. O'Possum@virginiaopossum.bsky.social · 2d agoOK, here is real alt text so everyone can play.
The ICE List now names 4,148 agents and has identified several murderers. The U.S. government first called us thugs, in words the media very easily repeated. Those same media outlets now come straight to us when ICE agents have done wrong.
The U.S. Government Came After Us, Here's Why We Don't Care.
When we launched the ICE List, we expected pushback. We didn’t expect silence, threats, and the U.S. government lying to the press.

no liberals you are not allowed to memory hole the day that every elected democrat came out to publicly eulogize a nazi propagandist

Anil Dash@anildash.com · 19h agoJake Lang attacked a Diwali celebration while CHILDREN were performing. This is just after we were only a jammed gun away from a mass murder at a Hindu temple. And *zero* Republicans were asked to disavow their ties to these J6 bigots during this campaign. www.thestatesman.com/world/deport...
We seriously don't talk enough about how Law and Order and other police procedurals have been wildly successful racist copaganda that have us believing that even the slightest infraction is the sign of an evil soul that, unless stopped, will eventually lead to that person turning into Ted Bundy.

unraveled@unraveledpress.com · 4d agoNew, from @zoetakaki.bsky.social: We examined a spate of violence from 2 ICE agents—one of them another supervisor like Martin Lagunas—across Chicagoland this year. Jaupre Williams & Esteban Rivas have detained the wrong man, caused a car crash, & brandished weapons. And they're still working:

The fact that there were well-attended *weekly* protests in many areas of the country was also downplayed and uncovered inside the beltway/X bubble. bsky.app/profile/lill...
Lil_Lost@lillost.bsky.social · 2d agoOr the small protests that happened weekly/monthly all over the country. When grandma and grandpa spend every Saturday morning on the corner by the town duck pond w 20+ others the country should pay attention. I still can’t believe that my parents in their 70s were attending those weekly protests
Ok it’s time to shut down LCRW until we can figure out what the hell’s going on (hands down one of the funniest stories from the far-right beat I’ve read in years)

Are we supposed to forget the role Keisha Lance Bottoms played in supporting Cop City? Are we supposed to forget her stunningly condescending reactionary lecture to and suppression of George Floyd protesters? blackagendareport.com/how-black-mi...

Thomas Harvey@tbh1910.bsky.social · 2d agoWhile it's heartening to see Trump rejected, what are the politics of the newly elected? We know Schumer won't end genocide. We know Jeffries won't get us healthcare for all. Do John Ossoff, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Josh Shapiro, or any of the others support transformative change?

Every fucking time! Almost like we should stop studying this and actually implement it.
Conor Curtis@conorcurtis.bsky.social · 2d ago“This study confirms growing evidence that we and others have long presented: there is no evidence that Basic Income reduces economic and labour market activity,” he told CNN. “On the contrary, it gives workers the economic security to take good risks and avoid bad ones in their working lives.”
This is your regular reminder that speaking out about abusers in leftist spaces is actually quite hard and often comes at a tremendous cost, not to the abuser, but to the person who dares stand up to them.
Musa Okwonga@okwonga.bsky.social · 2d ago🧵 The fallout from the Russell Brand episode was so painful and devastating that yesterday was the first time I had commented on it publicly in 13 years. In just trying to get people to listen to women’s concerns, you would get dismissed by friends and peers, and sometimes lose them altogether.

Los Angeles dealt with attacks on it for months, with local cops helping attack protesters and peaceful demonstrators on camera (and sometimes attacking reporters). It got somewhat ignored as other cities were attacked, but the brutality unleashed on L.A. should not be forgotten.
I like how everyone is pretending like the years of liberal cowardice between 2020-2024 where Democrats created a far more dangerous and fascist and powerful Trump simply never happened
Asher HELLbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 4d agoOne or two people I know IRL have been publicly poo-pooing midterm enthusiasm on the terms that "liberals are just going to return to brunch," and I think it crystalized something for me, which is that there is a tendency within some of our movements to be deeply, venomously suspicious of joy
