Considering the utter buffoonery, ineptitude, and incompetence that ICE has demonstrated (in addition to thuggish cruelty and evil violence), I'm sure more than a few agents are going to wind up accidentally electrocuting their hands. Inshallah.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

Americans make me fucking sick. We all collectively love dogs, right? We also all know the enormous trauma that fireworks cause to dogs. You'd think we would have outlawed fireworks by now. Or, at the very least, discontinued the tradition of municipally sanctioned firework displays. But, nah.

The Talarico insults coming from the right are predictably unhinged. (As if being vegan is widely viewed as a character flaw.) But the one that takes the cake is the accusation that he thinks god is nonbinary. That just straight-up makes sense. Isn't it far more weird to think god is a man?

I wish joy on this Mother's Day for some, but not all, of the mothers out there! Included: mothers who are currently being bombed, starved, displaced, oppressed, trafficked, and more. Excluded; anyone who has the nerve to say, "Happy Mother's Day," but also support war, occupation, and imperialism.

Iran's nuclear program is built with knowledge and resources. Knowledge cannot be destroyed, and resources will always be reacquired. Therefore, dropping bombs now makes nobody safer. All it does is ensure that we can drop more bombs in the future. Diplomacy is the only sustainable way forward.

If Trump truly cared about the people of Iran (which he absolutely does not), he would use their right to freely protest as a bargaining chip to allow the government to enrich uranium for energy and research purposes. Oh, and P.S. nobody should have nuclear weapons. Nobody. #FreeIran

Democrats want "better training" for ICE. That's interesting, because any time an agent does something abhorrent, the higher-ups tell us that it was justifiable. So how will better training fix anything if their standard is devoid of morality to begin with?

Not sure why Iran and America aren't BFFs. Both governments are run by religious cults who use state-sponsored terrorism to suppress free speech, propagate war, and murder their own people in broad daylight. Seems like they should be thick as *literal* thieves.

My response to #ICE and its ongoing, rampant, illegal activity. Slides 1 through 4. Alt text included.

These are just a few unarmed victims among many who have been kidnapped, harmed, or had their lives taken by ICE under the U.S. government. When I say the U.S. government, I mean both state and federal, because state law enforcement has been supporting fascism rather than protecting civilians, instead serving the imperialist interests of the US of Israel.

Rev. David Black of The First Presbyterian Church of Chicago was supporting protestors and the human hostages being held by ICE at the detention facility in Broadview, IL. Protesters were met with excessive use of force. Rev. David Black was witnessed being sprayed in the face by ICE agents with chemical substances and shot with pepper balls while praying.
Joselyn Walsh, an organizer for Songs for Liberation and Nourish Community Co-op, reported on Truthout that she was shot by ICE with “less-than-lethal munitions” that pierced and bruised her leg.

Meanwhile, little has been done or said by the governor, who claims to care about the people. At this point, it is evident that Illinois residents see his actions—but they do not speak louder than his words. Neither the governor’s actions nor words hold weight or demonstrate concern for constituents.

What we are seeing is performative allyship—minimal sentiment lacking conviction, paired with Democratic talking points and occasional photo ops designed for those who do not question and are conditioned to accept the bare minimum. Pretty words that sound good to those willing to consume them.
Human lives are being harmed daily while law enforcement supports the actions of a lawless government, pointing guns and batons at protestors instead of protecting them. This is passive—if not covert—fascism unfolding before our eyes disguised as democratic civilian support and leadership.

Police are required to always remain polite and calm. They are bound by a strict code of conduct that ensures fairness for all. And if you're ever unsure of what you can/should do in a given situation, police will honestly advise you to the best of their knowledge. Wait, no. That's casino dealers.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

We are on the verge of realizing actual change.

I attended to make sure that we applied maximum pressure. It can't just be about Trump, the erosion of norms, and barbaric ICE raids. It needs to be about abolishing ICE, freeing Palestine, and condemning spineless Democrats who want to campaign on important issues but not actually solve them.
