A thread on what we can do to resist the oncoming onslaught of anti-immigrant state violence.

[Kaleidic Riot 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 @BadmenBad]

Mass deportations were a key part of Trump's campaign & the GOP's platform this year.

He's stacking his administration with extreme anti-immigrant hardliners like Stephen Miller & Tom Homan.

We will see brutal human rights violations. What can we do to reduce the harm?

Let's try to fit our efforts together in ways consistent with treating each other as dignified equals. Let's use our local knowledge & our creativity to make the world better. Let's learn from each other every damn day.

Under FISA 702, the government collects massive amounts of data on Americans while “targeting” foreigners overseas.

They then unconstitutionally search that data without a warrant for info on Americans.

The “libertarian demand” he’s whining about is called the Fourth Amendment.

De-ICE Citizens and Save Izzy Aly
Visibility Event · Volunteer organized

Saturday, June 6
1 – 3pm EDT

Gravel Lot outside GEO Group Moshannon Facility
100 Graham Station Rd
Philipsburg, PA 16866

About this event
Join Indivisible: Mayday and thousands of people across the country to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business. These companies are accused of denying emergency medical care to people like Izzy Aly. Izzy is a man with stage 3 kidney failure and says that he is not receiving adequate care as his condition continues to deteriorate in Moshannon Valley Detention Center in Clearfield County, which is operated by GEO Group. A coalition of groups is fighting for his immediate release so that he can receive the required medical care.

Citizens Bank is bankrolling the country’s two largest prison companies that are earning record profits operating dozens of ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies, which are already holding more than half of the 70,000 immigrants currently in ICE detention centers across the country.

Citizens bank continues to do this despite widespread accusations of forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities. Humans within these facilities report that they continue to wither medically while Geo Group and CoreCivic deny any wrongdoing.

We won't quietly stand by as Citizens continues to finance the private prison & ICE detention companies that are harming our communities. The 2019 exodus of banks from the industry in response to activism should be a reminder to us that our voices matter. Now it's time to use them. Visit https://t.co/zJymfFxWUR for more information and other actions you can take!

A core principle behind all Coalition events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review a safety and security resource before your event, such as https://t.co/XSS4KnDtqm.

@SwiftyUnknown @NewPerspectives I agree that ICE should stop committing terrorism.

Kropotkin's day job, which paid the bills so he could produce anarchist theory the rest of the time, was writing articles about the natural sciences for various mainstream publications. He then used this platform to spread anarchist ideas to a larger audience.

@morallawwithin Given comparative advantage, I'll take the society that's all the smartest people plus everybody else over one of just the smartest people. No hesitation.

Exactly. The only think Platner has going for him is performative working class masculinity

"the veil women are seldom granted a comparable inner life" YWAH BECAUSE PWRSEPOLIS IS AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR SHE'S NOT GONNA WRITE ABOUT THE INTERNAL WORLD OF OTHERS IS SHE?? 😭

[Kaleidic Riot 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 @BadmenBad]

@sedaye_iran @Memebot9001 @PinkPonyS0phie No, her point was to encourage international solidarity between Americans and Iranians against authoritarianism & state violence.

[tending to the socially dead @charliebanga]

Her sin was highlighting the often disregarded oppression of Muslim women and girls that’s routinely being committed and repressed by theocratic states and authoritarian governments. Leftists that view her literary work as “Islamophobic” are mostly just campists and misogynists.

[Oliver Traldi @olivertraldi]

I sincerely hope I never "back a candidate" again. It hardly even depends on the candidate - you always end up looking and sounding absurd.

[Kaleidic Riot 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 @BadmenBad]

Chances are your electoral endorsement won't sway the election, but it will turn you into an apologist for evil & abusive actions.

@SchizoMellie Some relevant context:

[Kaleidic Riot 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 @BadmenBad]

Angela Davis's writing helped convince me to become a prison abolitionist.

But given her support for the Soviet Union & other aligned states imprisoning people, I don't think she's a prison abolitionist.

[Kaleidic Riot 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 @BadmenBad]

@SchizoMellie I don't care if it's sophisticated. I care if it's correct.

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

I feel like every single clip I scroll by from Subway Takes is someone inventing blood and soil nationalism out of vague lefty intuitions

[Matthew Petti 👨‍🎓 @matthew_petti]

It’s a despicable malice, but it’s also completely getting the situation wrong. Satrapi was not producing “my country yearns for freedom” slop. She was humanizing Iranians (as a complex cosmopolitan society) to a foreign liberal audience at the height of the War on Terror.
