Please share/repost to help me get home. Thank you! #MutualAid
Living in Central FL without a car has been a hit to my mental health. My current landlord cut my internet in Oct, causing me to lose my main income. I’ve survived on gigs, but I need this move to regain my stability. Can you help me hit the finish line? #MutualAid
After 20 years, I’m moving back to New Orleans on Feb 27th! 🎷 I’m a retired chef & cybersecurity student finally escaping a bad living situation in FL. My permanent remote job restarts March 2nd, and I need to be settled to start. I’m $300 short to make it. #MutualAid
work until you break,
then the system harvests you,
as a spent resource.

class war is the truth,
every other fight we pick,
is a choreographed play.

red and blue neckties,

guillotines stay dull,

I just wrote about the second horrific execution in Minneapolis and the terrifying reality of the "ICE Gestapo." We can't ignore this. Are we living 1984?

The boots are on the ground. Operation Tidal Wave has hit Central Florida with ICE checkpoints from Kissimmee to Deland. Know your rights: don't open the door without a judicial warrant and stay silent. Protect the community. ✊🏴

It is the ultimate historical irony, considering Hitler himself modeled the Gestapo and the Nuremberg Laws on the framework of American law enforcement and Jim Crow.

When I use "ICE Gestapo," I’m using a shorthand for white audiences who have been conditioned to view oppression as something that only happens in black-and-white newsreels from Berlin.

"Law enforcement" in this country has deep roots in slave bounty hunting. The tactics used by ICE—the surveillance, the snatch-and-grabs, the terrorizing of households—mirror that history far more accurately than any foreign comparison.

Calling them "Gestapo" still gives the average American a psychological out; it frames the cruelty as a European import rather than a home-grown product. It allows them to pretend this is a temporary fever instead of the baseline.

It’s been a heavy week of reckoning over at the Nomad Files.
Here is the lineup:
1. The End of the Immunity
2. The American Gestapo
3. When the Violence Hits Home
4. Selective Silence
5. The Price of No Oversight
The armor is cracking. My latest for Nomad Files: "The End of the Immunity."
A look at years of ICE’s fear-based tactics and the realization that whiteness is not a permanent force field against a fascist agenda.
It’s time for visceral solidarity.

The image is a composite graphic promoting a Substack article titled "The American Gestapo" from the Nomad Files. The visual elements of the graphic include: Header Section: A dark brown header contains the title in white serif font, followed by the URL EXISTENTIALNOMADNDP.SUBSTACK.COM and the text "Nomad Files." Main Imagery: The lower half of the image features a stylized depiction of a law enforcement officer from behind. The officer is wearing a dark uniform with a red armband that has "ICE" printed in a white circle—a visual reference to Nazi-era armbands. The back of the uniform also displays "POLICE ICE" in large white lettering. Textual Content: To the right of the officer, bold black text on a light background reads: "REAL PATRIOTS DON'T JOIN THE GESTAPO —THEY STOP THEM." The image is designed to evoke historical parallels between contemporary immigration enforcement and the Nazi secret police. This rhetoric has intensified following recent events in Minnesota, specifically Operation Metro Surge, which involved roughly 2,000 federal agents in the Twin Cities. The surge was marked by the killing of Renee Good, a 37-year-old legal observer who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.
ICE is door-to-door in St. Paul without warrants. I’m calling them what they are: The American Gestapo. We aren't afraid & we will fight you every step of the way.
