E.M. Markoff | Abolish Ice

Heads up SF: half a dozen fash with a thin blue line flag and a couple of Christian nationalist flags have shown up. Stay safe.

They’ve bombed abortion clinics, killed doctors, sentenced women to death over unwanted pregnancies, killed trans and queer people for asking for rights. There’s literally no kind of political violence that I’ve not seen come from the right in this country, and it’s never engaged with seriously.

SF is weaponizing parking to dismantle RV communities. Here’s how it started San Francisco is using parking laws and construction projects to displace RV communities of working-class families. This investigation reveals how the crackdown began — and why it backfired.

everyone in SF should read this. unfortunately “it’s inhumane to let people live like this” has become politician empathy speak for “and that’s why I will make things even worse for them”

We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer*

i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate.

“kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

Using "recently deputized" ICE agents who don't follow procedure and perform arrests in plainclothes wearing masks and refuse to show badges is a great way to generate a violent situation.

It's only a matter of time before these cowboys encounter "stand your ground" and it'll be 100% their fault.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Happy Friday, bitches

Daily inkblot: What do YOU see?

BRING KILMAR HOME

A 2 year old US citizen was deported. A CHILD. Let that sink in (if you have a fucking conscience). DUE PROCESS exists for a reason.

👏ABOLISH👏 ICE👏

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

"Two political stars of the left."
"A Democratic senator traveled to El Salvador."

Say their damn names @nbcnews.com: 👏 @sanders.senate.gov 👏 @aoc.bsky.social 👏 Sen. Van Hollen

BRING KILMAR HOME

Why did the chicken cross the road?

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest

“Stop resisting”
“He’s not resisting”

Of course. And anti-semitism will be weaponized to uphold Fascism even if those protesting are Jewish themselves.

Thanks for the info!

Weekly inkblot roundup @daily-inkblot.bsky.social

if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus won’t stop them for coming after you next

Call Gavin Newsom and let him know how you feel: (916) 445-2841

I know this is absurd, but the propaganda works in because of the absurdity rather than in spite of it.

While this quote is about antisemitism, it readily applies to most forms of bigotry.

As before, the moment that Worf is yeeted over the rail to his death. He is midair, rag-dolling

Zooming in. Something's wrong with his face
