I am so impressed with the number of businesses that are locking their doors and refusing service to ICE. They shouldn't be able to buy a sandwich anywhere.

so i keep seeing Marcie writing about David Huerta
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/post/3mcfrvuo37c2c
and that name has been bugging me. i know that name but couldn’t remember who it was.
Wheeler is talking about the labor union leader the regime is harassing after being arrested protesting #ICE in Los Angeles.
can’t believe i had forgotten about DAVID HUERTA, THE MEXICAN POET; whose book Incurable, i reviewed for LAR, back in the day. i have even translated his poetry!

CHASER:

so what is today’s lesson?
VIOLENCE IS PROPAGANDA
that’s the whole point of #ICE raids
that’s the whole point of #genocide in #Gaza
that’s the point of #war against #Ukraine
the SHOCK & AWE of violence is all meant to make resistance futile; to fear fighting back and keep freedom and liberty only possible in dreams.
WE ARE MORE THAN THEM
don’t fall for their violent propaganda.

reminded me of something i’ve said in the past:
#Trump #MAGA #ICE and fascists in general use violence as #propaganda.
saw somebody saying Minnesota is under siege.
NO, IT ISN’T.
but it’s hyperbole fascists love to hear from liberals. they know WE OUTNUMBER THEM and would be NOTHING without #violence.
Aunti Toni was wrong about #fascism. it isn't marketing for power. it’s marketing for VIOLENCE.
WITHOUT VIOLENCE, they are nothing.
"Sadly, ICE is a fascist organization, an aggressive occupying force with Nazis both in its ranks and at its head."
~ Mary L. Trump

"ProPublica found more than 40 cases over the past year of immigration agents using these life-threatening maneuvers on immigrants, citizens and protesters. The agents are usually masked, their identities secret. The government won’t say if any of them have been punished."

The Smitten Kitten, a#Minneapolis adult novelty shop, is stepping up to serve as a warehouse for household essentials for immigrants stuck in their homes due to #ICE terror. They normally sell sex toys, but in this crisis they are stocked with food, baby formula and diapers for distribution by volunteers. It's a completely grassroots effort to save lives.
This kind of effort is going on across the US.
#ICE melts in the spring. Spread the word.

Another day, another unlawful detainment of a US Citizen simply for recording ICE activity
A father was choked and illegally arrested by federal agents for exercising his rights to film police.
He was held for 9 hours and saw several other citizens illegally detained for the same thing.
Cops eventually released him without charges after his attorney got into contact with authorities.

Lawsuit: DHS wants “unlimited subpoena authority” to unmask ICE critics

Tagging #forkiverse for education value.
This is a perfect example of the importance of a decentralized internet (e.g. the fediverse).
Only US companies and servers are obliged to respond to US subpoenas. If you're criticizing ICE on a #fediverse server outside the US, then one of these subpoenas likely wouldn't touch you. (Admins must also be outside US)
If you're on a Meta platform or X, on the other hand . . .
Canadian travel to the U.S. is down anywhere between 15 and 30%, which seems not enough to me but any Canadian booking discretionary travel to the U.S. from this week on, I mean, wtf is wrong with you?
