This could be us but our Supreme Court sucks

If we cannot solve anything with violence, then why are we funding weapons of war

I’m only $200 from the barebones goal. Thank you so much. 💙

Supreme Court blesses racial profiling by ICE The conservative justices don't explain a decision that green lights detaining people for how they look.

"Today’s decision sets a course for the United States to become a country where masked officers pluck people from streets and businesses because of how they look."

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

We are currently at $120/$435

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice*

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

This is who they are.

And every single politician who fails to call this out publicly and loudly and unequivocally is affirmatively, actively contributing to this evil.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

What you should immediately do if a relative is arrested by ICE Immigrant advocacy groups provide guidance on what you can do when a family member is detained by immigrant enforcement officials.

Sign held at a protest. Image of the Statue of Liberty using her torch to crush ice. Text reads ‘I prefer my ICE crushed!’

All because he told them they had no jurisdiction bc they couldn’t produce a judicial warrant.

Especially if you’re rich and white.

Studies detail high rates of long COVID among healthcare, dental workers

Healthcare settings have a duty to mitigate COVID. Patients shouldn’t be infected in the place they go to seek care.

What about HCWs? A new study showed 40% had symptoms of Long Covid.

This is a mass disabling event. It’s creating chronic illness patients, while taking HCWs out of the workforce:

Email from DHS to unknown recipient, received by Nicole Micheroni

1/ I never took DHS's scary-sounding notice that I had 7 days to leave the country too seriously, because it was obviously some kind of mistake. But what about the people the emails were actually aimed at? Let's talk a bit about immigration "parole" and what Trump is doing here

I know times are bad because any date from the future (2034, 2078, 2026) sounds like it could be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Reminds me that the coiner of the phrase “be gay, do crime” meant that shit and gets annoyed when people use it as a silly little phrase instead of a call to action

Thank you. I am sick of all the outrage being about the one man they say is a mistake.
They were all mistakes.
All horrible dismissals of due process. Each and every extraordinary rendition is a mistake and a crime.

I learned young that "unlawful" and "wrong" are distinct and often unrelated concepts. Feels like that should be a more widespread idea

This, all day every day.

As the administration and the Supreme Court have demonstrated, the law is not a moral instrument. And we cannot afford to treat it as such in an era that necessitates widespread resistance.

I think we should name the extent of the administration's law-breaking and call out their lies. We should also tell the truth of people's stories. Sometimes, this will mean pointing out that someone had legal status or didn't commit any crimes. But we can do that without abandoning everyone else.

People will argue that we should be willing to defy the law in the name of justice while also treating criminalized people as disposable. It's incoherent.

Put differently, if the administration scooped up 20 activists tomorrow, myself included, and shipped us off to some nightmarish place, and you heard a news report saying "15 of those activists had no criminal record," I would be one of the other five. Would my fate be important?

It’s so hard not to become overwhelmed by all of it. Your work is vital, though. And I value what you do.

Apologies if this was one of the conclusions but the powers that be must've figured out long ago how much universal healthcare would have freed us up to get mad in public.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.
