The people going out and protesting the ICE raids are incredibly brave.

They are risking their safety and their lives to fight for a better America for all of us.

Chinga la migra.

From Rebecca Solnit:

Josh Marshall is a hero for his nonstop clear, informed, and insightful communications. His Talking Points Memo is a key source for understanding the DC ruckus.

He just wrote: It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

call to action

Considering how disorganized Ice is , with this new budget and flash hiring it’s only going to get more disorganized . I propose that we capitalize on their confusion. Ice agents cover their badge numbers and do not share names . They cover faces and all defining features . This will make it easy for us to infiltrate into the ranks. Using the ice tracking methods available we will deploy our own squad indistinguishable from theirs into the fray when they target an individual to kidnap and effectively take over the abduction . But instead of abusing them and kidnapping them we will bring them to a safe secure location away from ice and call the abducted individuals family. and when it’s safe, return them back to their home. I’d also like to propose getting in contact with Canada to assist in rapid asylum for this safety railway . That way if they are targeted multiple times we will have access to help them and get them to a more safe place away from ice kidnappings . Many cruel people are already making themselves indistinguishable from ice in order to do harm to our black and brown friends. Why can we not use their own tactics against them . Dress in full army gear easily attainable in today’s society, arm ourselves as they do . And play our part to liberate and protect those in need . This is a call to all who will hear it . We need a network. We need a secure form of communication, we need information from the inside about where ice raids will be . And we need people strong of heart to be on the ground getting these people out . If you feel that any of this applies to you, or you just want to help those in need please consider getting in contact . Even if this plan fails there will be more . We cannot give up and we cannot give in. We will find ways to protect Americans from foreign and domestic terrorism we will fight trumps getsappo. We can create a safe railway as we did in the past. Never again is NOW.

the fact that we’re rapidly transforming as a society into the hunger games:

Spectacle as distraction from the horrible things in the world

avant garde fashion steadily growing among celebrities

people supporting dictators who are genuinely hurting thousands of people

the general public of the Capitol caring more about the possibility of Katniss having a fetus in her than the fact that she’s 17 and being sent to death in the quarter quell

the sexualization of teenagers for profit and children growing up too quickly thanks to social media/television/spectacles

people trying to help save the world being branded as traitors and the ‘true villains’ in politics

the general public having to choose between the lesser of two evils in an attempt for positive progress (and that not even working)

Tucker Carlson: “to intentionally kill noncombatants women and children - I think we can say that’s wrong. In fact, I thought that was the thing we were fighting against”

[americanunderground]

I’m not old enough to really remember the beginning of the war in Iraq, but lots of people who were are sounding the alarm about the propaganda going around right now. It’s called “manufacturing consent,” and it’s used to tip a population’s opinion in favor of an action by their government.

They’ll tell us whatever they need to in order to get us to go along with their goals, so we need to make sure we’re looking into claims before we spread them around online— even if they seem to support our current beliefs.

The Loneliest Hundred Days

At the 100-day mark—a milestone presidents usually meet with parades of approval—Donald Trump stands almost alone. His approval rating has dropped to 42%, the lowest of any modern president at this point in office, eclipsing even post-crisis presidencies.

Where others found "honeymoon" periods, Trump finds hollowed fields.

Republican loyalty, once ironclad, is softening: only 67% of GOP voters "strongly approve" of his performance, down sharply from the euphoric highs of Inauguration Day. Fractures show most in healthcare, immigration, and economic policies—areas once promised to be the bedrock of his "winning."

Beyond party lines, the American public cites a cocktail of missteps: a failed healthcare repeal, volatile foreign policy decisions, and an unprecedented breach of presidential decorum via Twitter storms.

Political historians warn that early-term impressions often become permanent records. Without a pivot—or a crisis to reset the narrative—Trump risks becoming the first president in decades to lose the country before he ever truly had it.

"The loneliest kind of power," someone once wrote, "is the kind no one believes in."

I can’t fully express the sheer depth of my disappointment that the tiktok ban literally lasted five seconds.

The fact that tiktok chose to go dark before the actual start date for the ban enforcement only to announce that they were relying on Trump to get it back up and running was disgusting.

The fact that they only came to an agreement after letting tiktok go dark is a scare tactic. They were showing us that they hold all the power and no matter what we do we cannot stop them from taking away our rights and our freedom.

If it was really about letting tiktok exist for the people then they would have reached this agreement 24 hours ago but they wanted us to be scared and fearful and get a taste of withdrawal so that they know we can’t live without it and now that they have power over it they are going to use it for control.

I personally don’t know if I can continue using tiktok if this is what it is going to be like. If it is just going to be some government tool to control the masses.

I love tiktok and I love the community I was a part of over there and I will miss it so incredibly much but the state of things is getting so out of control.

Please copy this release from the FFC below the link, and if you're in the US Empire it's time to call your reps, get them up, unrested, and to the State Department. The Department who has bypassed Congress to deliver funds to Israel, for which Marco Rubio should be made to answer for every cent of $4B dollars. The Department who is fully aware of war crimes. The State Department that has given zionists military aid and cover so that the Israeli military can bomb the Conscience and attack the Madleen in international waters to abduct their crew from France, Brazil, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Türkiye, and Sweden.

https://freedomflotilla.org/2025/06/09/israeli-military-attacks-madleen-in-international-waters-weeks-after-bombing-of-conscience/

“Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen,” said Huwaida Arraf, human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla organizer. “This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”

Israel is once again acting with total impunity. It has defied the International Court of Justice’s binding orders to allow unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza, disregarded the international laws protecting civilian navigation, and dismissed the demands of millions worldwide calling for an end to the siege and genocide.

This latest act of aggression against the FFC follows the unpunished Israeli drone attack on our previous vessel, Conscience, which left four civilian volunteers injured and the ship disabled and burning in European waters. That unprovoked assault violated international law. Now, Israel has escalated again by targeting another peaceful civilian vessel.

“The world’s governments remained silent when Conscience was bombed. Now Israel is testing that silence again,” said , Tan Safi another Freedom Flotilla organizer. Every hour without consequences emboldens Israel to escalate its attacks on civilians, aid workers, and the very foundations of international law.”

We demand:

• An end to the illegal and deadly siege of Gaza.

• The immediate release of all abducted volunteers;

• The immediate delivery of humanitarian aid directly to Palestinians that is independent of the control of the occupying power

• Full accountability for the military assaults on Madleen and Conscience
