the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo

Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...

LA bus driver who vowed to shut doors on ICE speaks out after 'retaliatory' firing by Metro
LA Metro said the bus operator wasn’t authorized to give an interview. The driver said he was simply exercising his right to free speech by giving an interview on his day off.

attended a Stop the Bleed training today. very good information and skills to learn and *very hopefully* never use. in a world where we are in danger of being shot by a right wing nut, we need to be ready to administer life-saving first aid.

The US prison population has declined from 1.6 M in 2009, years to about 1.2M in 2023 and was projected to fall as low as 600K in 10yrs The escalation in ICE is designed to facilitate state repression, but it’s also a blank check to the prison industrial complex and private prisons. Abolition now

New booklet! "Who Shares the Restroom Code with ICE Agents?" This collection of questions is an invitation to think about situations we may encounter with ICE, a poetic rant against ICE, and a provocation for ICE’s allies. Full description in the cover alt text. halfletterpress.com/who-shares-w...
Back Cover description:

On May 24, 2025, five United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers sat down for breakfast at Sava’s restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After eating some waffles, they entered the kitchen and handcuffed and detained three members of the kitchen staff.

Many restaurants and other establishments have been conducting Know Your Rights training. Informative flyers are regularly posted throughout Chicago where I live. I see them on the edges of the parking lot of the Home Depot in my neighborhood where immigrant day laborers often hang out looking for work. I see flyers in the post office parking lot. A Mexican restaurant I get food from often has one posted on their window. Still, I can’t stop thinking about what happened at Sava’s restaurant. Did the agents tip the waitstaff before arresting the kitchen staff? At what percentage?  Did they compliment the chef on the waffles while cuffing him in front of diners and his coworkers? 

As ICE grows bolder with their deportations, and as public resistance to ICE intensifies, I’ve been thinking more about these secret police agents that we fund with our taxes. I think about how easily ICE agents move through the city during their downtime, when they aren’t busy terrorizing immigrants in the name of white supremacy while hiding behind masks. I’ve also been thinking about their fans and supporters.

I shared some of the first questions in this publication on two social media platforms and invited others to add their own questions. Then I selected and organized some of the responses and compiled them into this booklet. Multiple friends read this text and gave suggestions. This collection of questions is an invitation to think about situations we may encounter with ICE, a poetic rant against ICE, and a provocation for ICE’s allies.

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
