"They added that the faith leaders 'prayed together, sang songs and hymns, and shared stories of those who have been abducted by ICE while at work or commuting to and from the airport' in an effort to call on airlines companies – particularly Delta and Signature Aviation – to 'stand with Minnesotans in calling for ICE to immediately end its surge in the state'."

"Around 200 faith leaders fanned out across the city on Thursday (Jan. 22) to observe and document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with some clergy confronting Department of Homeland Security agents, adding a visible religious presence to widespread efforts to counter the president’s mass deportation campaign in the region."

"In other words, ICE is a force of men who have felt small and have now been empowered by an administration that tells them they’re manliest of men, hands them guns and tactical gear, gives them precious little training, explicitly tells them they will be held to virtually no legal or moral standards," (continued in /5)

#DOJ "refusing to investigate Ms. Good’s death...

But the real explanation may be more sinister. Since she was killed, we’ve seen multiple videos in which #immigration officers refer to her death to threaten people lawfully observing or recording them. The real motivation appears to be to make all the other Renee Goods out there, the liberal “wine moms” watching over immigration raids, wonder if they might be next."

"We use words like “police state.” Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

ICE beat, cuffed, and jailed an army veteran and Purple Heart recipient for protesting in Minneapolis—and then the Department of Homeland Security lied about his charges.

On Friday, 39-year-old William Vermie was arrested while watching ICE agents go after two young men.

Seven #Quisling #Democrats voted to fund #ICE, rather than shut it down.

Seven #House Democrats broke with much of their party to vote in favor of funding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), helping advance a Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) spending measure in committee despite strong opposition from progressives.

The seven Democratic representatives who voted yes to approve ICE funding were:

Tom #Suozzi (New York)
Henry #Cuellar (Texas)
Don #Davis (North Carolina)
Laura #Gillen (New York)
Jared #Golden (Maine)
Vicente #Gonzalez (Texas)
Marie Glusenkamp #Perez (Washington)

Primary the fuck out of them. I don’t care if we run a goddamn giraffe or an inflated penis balloon, if they aren’t with us, they are against us, and if they are against us, fuck them. ( Disclaimer, I know two of these assholes, and boy howdy are they not gonna be pleased to hear from me in the morning, I can tell you.)

This.

This is why I focus on food.

This is why I'm building apparatus and infrastructure for me and my neighbors to have free food. Post-scarcity food.

It isn't "being kind". It isn't "out of the goodness of my heart" or "altruism". Or any other dismissive infantilization. (I do care. People should be kind. We *can* take care of each other out of love and support and we should! But I fucking hate that dismissive bullshit attitude from folks who idealize greed and power and oppression).

I build mutual aid to remove the leverage of those that exploit and harm others.

Here is a perfect example of what I am fighting: ICE is using starving kids - a situation they and the people that deploy them have intentionally created - to kidnap and exploit kids.

If everyone was fed, they couldn't use this leverage. (If everyone had universal healthcare, corporations would lose one more means of exploitation. Et cetera, et al.)

Food is power dynamics.
To be fed is to be free.
