@inthehands @ohmu Primaries and scaring the shit out of them at town halls.

Drive all of these high school cafeteria book report motherfuckers out of the party. Playtime is over.

@ohmu @robcinos
Pressure your Senators anyway, even if they agree. Often •they• are the ones who can pass that pressure forward to colleagues who need to hear it:

@inthehands what community organizations take donations and are correctly helping the situation there?

@inthehands Seattle schools are already on alert, people (including me) have been making and distributing whistle packs, they're to the point of being kits and there's a map of dropoff/pickup locations at businesses, and so on:

They're winding up to attack us, but there aren't enough of them to do this everywhere. We hear you, and we are getting ready.

Unfortunately the relative quiet of the last few days is over. ICE is all over South Minneapolis this morning. They just smashed an observer’s car window and kidnapped them right outside my corner coffee shop.

@inthehands sounds like they’re working up to Starlight Tours (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_killings; I grew up there)

@inthehands Watching with horror from the east coast, but things could be about to get very local. ICE activity is picking up in my state. It all feels like we're living in a video game and the agents are acting out their fantasies in their parents' basement – only this time it's with our lives.

@wronglang
Here’s a couple of good lists:

@klayzer
Yeah. I urge you to start forming community-based groups and connections now. Even stuff as simple as teaching your less-tech-savvy folks how to install Signal or introducing yourself to neighbors ICE might racially profile will pay huge dividends in a crisis.

@inthehands My church has a "faithful resistors" group that has been participating locally, including witnessing regularly at the local ICE facility. We put up a lawn banner citing Leviticus 19:34: (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2019%3A33-34&version=NRSVA). And as the director of our weekly community meal program, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to try keep our guests safe.

My husband and I also participate regularly in vigils on our town common. It all feels like so little, but at least we're visible.

@klayzer
That’s excellent. Getting them all into a Signal group now might be a good plan.

@inthehands @robcinos
Good reminder!

It’s hard for me to imagine more clear-cut defiance of the injunction. These shits are trying to run the legal blockade by pretend pretending it doesn’t even exist — and Bovino is not only fully aware but physically present for it. Contempt of court is completely meaningless at this point; I dare any judge to prove me wrong.

@inthehands @Fishercat let me know if the neighborhood needs additional emergency whistles and if there are distribution sites. Happy to drop a hundred or so

@inthehands would be a shame if someone arrested bovino and nobody could tell where he was for a while . I'm sure that never happens in our law-based society tho

@moira @inthehands

Google docs is not a safe way to share information. Execs at Google are in on the coup, and their ai is reading everything to give to palantir.

@inthehands We're on it here in the UK. Fellow Brits, please share. You may not be able to directly influence events in the USA, but you may be able to inspire and encourage those who can - while sending a clear message to our own government that ICE tactics won't fly here.

@inthehands @robcinos
My Senators will block funding.
I don't know how to pressure the ones who often vote with the Republicans.
