Nearly all concentration camp regimes involve the government making what were previously simple tasks of daily life unlawful or impossible for the group they’ve targeted for detention, bit by bit eradicating any possibility of public existence.

Credit to solid reporting by @shannonheckt.bsky.social. This industry that consumes unprecedented amounts of energy has a more than 20-year backlog of projects in the queue to be connected to the grid and the one that isn’t just failed spectacularly. There is no such thing as a green data center.

when you’re spreading information about something you saw, try to use the SALUTE format - size, action, location, uniform, time, equipment. not “i saw nazis!” but “i saw 20-30 guys in matching khaki pants marching down pine st toward third st at 4:15pm today, they were carrying shields & flags”

At the end of 2024, Virginia was down to ZERO 287(g) agreements. Just in the last year, we've skyrocketed to more than 30, along w/the state entanglements the Governor is now ending, plus these task force situations that have little transparency—the tentacles run deep & spread fast w/o these checks.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Misinformation and rumors cause panic — Share facts only! Try to get the SALUTE information so the sighting can be verified. Not “I saw ICE south of town” but “at about 10am, I saw 4 men in uniforms (couldn’t see what kind) in 2 unmarked black SUVs getting gas at the Exxon on Route 20”
¡ POLICE
ICE
NOT PANIC
When reporting or boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible!
REMEMBER! → S.A.L.U.T.E
Size/strength
"5 to 6 law enforcement officers"
Actions/Activity
"harassing random people on the street"
Location/Direction
"Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave"

Time and date of observation
"12:45 PM January 20"
Equipment and weapons
"They have helmets, vests and batons"
Not a useful message: "URGENT!!! Potential ICE Raids on the west side!!!"

Despite much of immigration law/policy sitting at the fed level, there are actually a lot of meaningful things state law & gov can/shld do to protect immigrant communities: from disentangling local LE from ICE, to preventing data-sharing, to keeping courthouses from being warrantless arrest traps.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…
