thems the breaks

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

ICE DETAINER REQUESTS The purpose of this order is to establish guidelines for handling ICE detainers. All officers are expected to comply with, honor, and fulfill formal immigration detainer requests issued by ICE. (a) An officer who receives information that a detainee or arrestee in their custody is the subject of an ICE detainer request, will take the following actions: 1. Notify a supervisor. 2. Notify ICE to determine the validity of the detainer. 3. Comply with the detainer request if its validity is confirmed. 4. Inform the person they are being held subject to a detainer (in addition to any applicable criminal charges). 5. Take the person to the Central Booking Facility or other suitable detention facility.

APD officers have standing orders to comply with ICE detainer requests, but not for admin warrants (which they can't serve). When a request is received, there are five steps officers must follow:

ANDING ROCK Standing Rock Sioux Tribe The Office of Chairman Sitting Bear P.O. BOx D Fort Yates, ND 58538 CHAIRMAN SITTING BEAR'S STATEMENT REGARDING SRST PUBLIC SAFETY JANUARY 9, 2026 I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status. Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

the apocalypse is ongoing. it’s been happening since before we were born. if you’re waiting for some irrefutable tipping point to do something different; it’s not going to happen

I've seen refugee aid efforts defeat multi-year occupations by regional / national police forces who deployed 30x the amount of resources. Hell I've been part of that.

It is *very* possible.

ICE's budget has a limit.
Make them use it.

ICE's morale has a limit.
Make them lose it.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Officers didn’t find an “on-going disturbance” or anyone with injuries, said APD Strategic Communications Manager Anna Sabana in a message to media. The officers “identified an individual with an Administrative Warrant issued by [ICE],” according to Sabana’s statement. An administrative warrant, issued by a federal agency, is not the same as a judicial warrant issued by a court. Administrative warrants allow designated federal agents — not state or local law enforcement officers — to make arrests, but do not authorize searches or entry into a building, according to the National Immigration Law Center. “APD notified ICE due to the Administrative Warrant on the subject,” said Sabana, who cited APD policy. “Federal authorities arrived on scene and took custody of the individual and her child. APD has spoken with ICE, mother and child are together with ICE.”

Austin Police responded to a disturbance call. They didn't find a disturbance, but found someone at the scene had an administrative warrant and reported her to ICE.

Agents took her and her U.S. citizen kid, and now her family can't find them.

A black and white sketch by Letvinity demonstrating, as titled: How To Reload An AK As A Wolf. 1.1: Press the rifle against your right side. Rest the stock on the ground while holding the rifle with your right back paw. Grab the top of the magazine with your jaws and press the magazine release button. 1.2: After disconnecting the magazine with the tilt of your head, take the new one. Make sure to lock the magazine base between your jaws, and insert it into the rifle by rotating your head. 1.3: Grab the front end of the rifle with your jaws. Start tilting it while placing your right back paw between the stock and pistol grip. 1.4: Extend your right back paw while holding the handguard with your jaws. Reach the bolt handle as if you were going to scratch your ear and rack the bolt.

Yes! Absolutely!

in 2026, if i wanted to put together a little collection of trans poetry from texas, would anyone be interested in contributing

"Oh, and Sir, I really like your outfit."

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

These democrats are gearing up to accept literal Nazis into the party before anyone left of Reagan.

If the democrats actually believe they can and should accept Nazis under their tent the tent and the leadership need to burn.

It's cool and all that Brianna Wu finally recognizes that her TERF buddies are snakes, but she spent months cheerleading genocide and where's her apology for that?

She spent weeks calling an Asian woman racist names on social media and said it was okay because her husband is Asian.

here’s a comic about ❤️being kind❤️

Remembering nearly a decade ago when folks were admonishing people about how punching nazis made you "just as bad as them" while platforming nazis in suits and shitty SS haircuts through profile features and calling all of it the "alt-right," WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE DOING

"Despite the various red flags, judges across New York and Long Island continued to entrust [Yvonne] Murphy with the care of vulnerable New Yorkers for years ... [S]he touted these relationships on Beacon Eldercare's website, listing a number of judges by name, including Mayersohn and Knobel."

"The $14 billion annual budget for detentions alone — just a portion of the new spending — is more than the total military spending of 124 countries."

@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

will this healthy discourse project change anything about allowing journalists writing articles calling for trans people to be erased, but banning palestinians in need of aid, trans people and even just people who make somewhat crude jokes

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨
