More than 1,000 Jewish activists and others shut down traffic in the heart of Boston during rush hour Tuesday evening, chanting, singing, and drumming to protest immigrant detention in the city and across the country.
Good. We need more of this. We should block the Trump parade route in DC. This would make a difference
Let’s not let history repeat itself! Let’s protest these concentration camps and human rights abuses by the current US administration.
President Trump has declared the beginning of ICE raids over the weekend “successful,” saying that “many, many were taken out Sunday.”
Actual good news!
“The anticipated large-scale ICE raids aimed at rounding up at least 2,000 migrant parents and children appear to have run into similar problems in other parts of the country. With widespread publicity about the raids, many undocumented migrants have been counseled to avoid opening their doors. Neighbors, immigration lawyers and migrant rights advocates are issuing warnings when any ICE agents are spotted.”
“In the suburbs northeast of Atlanta, immigrant advocates reported at least two encounters with ICE agents. In one of them, they said, immigration agents were involved in a vehicle pursuit of two people; the two eventually ditched their car outside a chiropractic clinic and fled on foot, said Adelina Nicholls, director of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights. In another case reported to her group, immigration authorities reportedly stopped a white van with an unspecified number of passengers.
The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee reported that ICE officers surrounded a car in Minneapolis on Monday morning and when the occupant apparently locked the doors, officers busted out the back window, unlocked the doors and dragged the person out. Their account was based on witnesses who spoke to members of the committee when they arrived on the scene a short time later.”
I was stopped by police, ICE, or Border Patrol while in transit
How to reduce risk to yourself
Stay calm. Don’t run, argue, or obstruct the officer or agent. Keep your hands raised where they can see them.
If you are in a car, pull over in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the engine, turn on the internal light, open the window part way and place your hands on the wheel. Upon request, show police your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.
If you are not a U.S. citizen and an immigration agent requests your papers, you must show them if you have them with you. If you are over 18, carry your immigration documents with you at all times. If you do not have immigration papers, say you want to remain silent.
Your rights In a car:
Drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent. If you are a passenger, you can ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, calmly leave.
If an officer or immigration agent asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. But if police generally believe that your car contains evidence of a crime, your car can be searched without your consent.
In addition to police, Border Patrol conduct “roving patrols” around the interior of the U.S., pulling over motorists. Border Patrol must have reasonable suspicion that the driver or passengers in the car committed an immigration violation or a federal crime.
Any arrest or prolonged stop by Border Patrol requires probable cause. You may ask the agents about the basis for probable cause, and they should tell you. In this situation, both the driver and any passengers have the right to remain silent and not answer questions about their immigration status.
On an airplane:
A pilot may refuse to fly a passenger if he or she reasonably believes that the passenger is a threat to flight safety. A pilot may not, however, question you or refuse to allow you on a flight because of bias based on your religion, race, national origin, gender, ethnicity, or political beliefs.
If you believe you are mistakenly on a “no-fly” list, you should review our guidance on No-Fly lists here.
On buses and trains:
Border Patrol agents may board buses and trains in the 100-mile border region either at the station or while the bus is on its journey. More than one officer usually boards the bus, and they will ask passengers questions about their immigration status, ask passengers to show them immigration documents, or both.
These questions should be brief and related to verifying one’s lawful presence in the U.S. You are not required to answer and can simply say you do not wish to do so. As always, you have the right to remain silent.
Oh this is ON
Heres what I need in terms of supplies:
Money (prolly not until I get to the point that more people have signed up tho)
3 megaphones
Defense items for the front line
Toothpaste toothbrushes and soap
Kids books (spanish and english)
Places where these kids can temporarily stay until we get in touch with their parents
Obviously not all of these are 100% necessary but it would all make our goals a lot easier
Heres what you can do if you cant provide resources:

Reblogging this to here because I have an OKAY amount of followers here. Please don’t scroll past and reblog to help if you aren’t able to do much /: I know it sucks feeling useless with this stuff, but spreading it so people show up is important
this is one of the dumbest things i have ever fucking seen oh my god. do not do this. do not donate to this.
you will at best be arrested but probably killed. i can’t even begin to explain the number of problems with this plan. please stop reblogging this.
donate here or to any number of places here. if you want to help, help with actual demonstrations
“We are going to take kids away from people who took kids. No this isn’t kidnapping we are taking kids who probably don’t speak the language(no need for translators for Spanish and a variety of indigenous languages!) and taking them to another location with no doctors, therapists, case workers or lawyers! It all makes sense”
just so everyone knows OP is the person who attacked me for no reason, said that I was so egotistical that he would beat me into hospitalization if i went to this door to apologize, said i was worse than a rapist, compared me to hitler and trump, and then proceeded to repeatedly lie abt what i said, all over bi/pan discourse this person is deeply unstable and absolutely not trained to organize anything of this scale y'all WILL be putting yourselves and others in unnecessary danger please for the love of god donate to and contirbute towards established activist efforts to act against ICE and CBP this is NOT safe nor wise!!! ALSO WHO THE FUCK TELLS YOU TO BRING DRUGS ON THE CAR RIDE TO A SUPPOSED GOV'T RAID??? PLEASE THINK.
hello @for-abused-kids started a (PUBLIC) Facebook group planning a raid of one of the detention centers, they are trying to raise $1500 dollars and appear to be dead fucking serious (and seem to think planning it on Discord is a veil of secrecy). The post has 20k+ notes. This is either a scam or a fucking terrible idea, either way can someone smarter than me please intervene here thank yoy
if you really want to help, get involved with social activism groups in your area and support legitimate protest causes organized by people who know what they’re doing
For-abused-kids also wrote a weird detailed rant about how they wanted to beat up a black bi blogger over a disagreement and even compared and contrasted saying “I wouldn’t even beat an abuser/rapist”. Yeah they’re a general shady person not to be trusted tbh (link)
amazon is a huge part of the ice deportations as they provide a lot of technology and artificial intelligence to the US government to assist with tracking and raiding immigrants and refugees btw
Hey, this is literally the closest the government can get to interrogation and they’re just getting away with it, what the fuck hell world
i feel like this is not only heinously cruel to chelsea but also specifically designed to cut off any outside support because its public knowledge that she and other political prisoners like her often get financial help from crowdfunding

What is wrong with Wendigos? I understand there's *something* wrong, but what is it?
They’re sacred spirits in Algonquian culture, and in other Anishinaabe cultures. They’re the physical embodiment of true evil, the result of humanity falling to its lowest, and a constant threat in the eyes of Anishinaabe people. We not only fear them as monsters, but as ourselves as well since they’re a constant reminder of what we have the potential of becoming if we ever let ourselves fall prey to that sort of greed of cruelty.
They’re so terrifying that many people are taught to never say their name aloud or to only say it under specific circumstances to avoid calling the attention of one; I, personally, was told to never say their name on winter nights, but I censor it no matter the time or season just to be safe. Many of us are also taught to keep them out of media. They’re not like vampires or zombies or other evil monsters that can be adapted for fun tv shows or games; using them casually is disrespectful to what they are and what they mean to Anishinaabe people.
They’re also one of the absolute most appropriated Native spirits. Their depictions are bastardized (where tf did the bipedal deer thing come from???), their history and meaning are reduced to “evil and cannibalistic”, and Native people are mocked and harassed for daring to ask for them to be treated with respect. People can never just accept being told that we don’t want them being used in non-Native media, no matter how much research is done or how “respectfully” they’re included; we just want w*ndigoag left alone entirely.

Book: saliva also contains a painkiller that is stronger than morphine, but we don’t produce a lot of it otherwise we’d be constantly high

Opiorphin is 6x stronger than morphine and actually contains an anti-depressant compound which is why some doctors believe it’s linked to comfort eating

and while we’re on the subject of Amazon, I’d like to mention how it’s affected the city I’ve grown up in and love so dearly.
Amazon is in part directly responsible for the godawful housing market in Seattle and it’s surrounding towns. The average rent for a small home in my neighbourhood, 30 minutes north of Seattle, can top off to $1,900 a month. I live in a small, 3 bedroom rambler that’s nothing special and our rent is $1,800 per month and climbing as amazon tries to bring in more employees to the area. We’re in the middle of a homeless crisis because many people cannot afford to live here anymore with rent skyrocketing and the gentrification of many low-income neighbourhoods in order to create space for more amazon transplants.
imagine roughly a million people realizing "yeah we could storm a government facility and they literally would not be able to stop us all" and not using that knowledge to overthrow the government
a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?
Sleepy duck
there is nothing you can say that will make me stop occasionally putting a q tip in my ear to remove ear wax. i know the ear is self cleaning. i know it doesnt need to be done at all, and in rare cases where earwax buildup actually does need to be removed this is absolutely not the way. i know theres a risk of serious injury to the inner ear. i know there is no material benefit and it can only do harm. but heres the deal: i dont care. im fully aware and im going to do it anyway. im fucking crazy.. but im free
When undocumented immigrants are detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), they are held in detention until they go to trial where the court will decide whether they can stay in the country. In some cases, the immigration judge will let them go while they await trial if they first pay a bail bond. Bail is set at a legal minimum of $1,500, but can be much higher. The bond is meant as a deposit to ensure the accused will report to their trial. If they attend all of their court appointments, they can get the money back. But many people have trouble coming up with the funds. The average bail bond issued by the San Francisco immigration courts in 2014 was $3,411 and the average cost of bond in immigration courts nationally is $6,500. Bond amounts could be as high as $80,500 on Central District of California immigration bonds, according to a 2015 study by USC law professor Emily Ryo. Donating to community bond funds can immediately “lead to freedom,” she said. Community bond funds are charities, like RAICES, that use funds to post bail and provide legal defense for detained people.This is one of the fastest ways to reunite immigrants with their family, said Pilar Weiss, project director at the National Bail Fund Network.

If yall with let me hijack this post for a second I’d like to add Adelante Alabama to the list-Adelante is an immigrant worker’s center in AL which helps bail out immigrants in the Etowah County Detention Facility here through their partner org Shut Down Etowah. This facility is specifically used by ICE as a “black hole” where by moving migrants to an extremely rural and conservative area they can cut them off from outside support. As seen on the above list, this works very well, as most activists outside of Alabama don’t seem to even know there’s anything going on here at all, but Etowah and similar rural prisons in areas completely overlooked by activists in more liberal areas are crucial to the ICE detention infrastructure and challenging them is a big blow to that system.
Adelante Alabama Worker Center unites low-wage and immigrant workers and their families in the Birmingham area to defend their rights, promo

Please help my dear good friend not die - PLEASE DONT IGNORE
He gave me permission to post his words here, since i have way more followers than he does and well, doesn’t have a computer.
“I live on my own in a room, I have some basic stuff and my devices, in still trying to get parts for it but that could be later on (even tho most of my income used to come from online sources)I live on Bucaramanga, Colombia; there has been a huge influx of people due to the closeness with Venezuela, people looking for jobs and places to be, and an increase in insecurity
People recently hire the migrant people who are desperate for any income, so they can get away with paying them less. i tried my best to stay on this place because is a relatively secure place, since where I used to stay on past years I just kept getting in troubles for my brother’s and other family, mostly causing damages and stealing stuff from me/other people on the houses.
Due to the overoffer of people, it has been harder and harder to get any kind of work.
My breaking point was back on late March, when I had to get some treatment from my judgment teeth, I already do a lot of corner cutting to how I live, so I don’t have insurance ended up having to sell my computer to cover costs, and it’s been hard to work without a computerI’ve even tried getting a used bike and build resistence with it to attempt delivery work, but the place I had in mind went on strike for unfair payments.
At this very moment I am overdue in rent for almost a week, I’ve been eating just once or skipping a day And I have some bills that need covering from the medical impasse for about 150
Heres his PayPal
we’re gonna be okay but my sweet friend here wont, he’s been in rough times for years, please please help him! reblogs are super please reblog!
So my girlfriend found a place to live about a week ago and now has been employed for 20 days but her current residence is still quite far from her work now and I think any help to keep her stable may be appreciated so while this post is outdated now and she isn't in an urgent situation anymore I would feel better if people kept her in mind. That post has her donation app info. This is probably the last post I'll make for her because she doesn't want to take resources from other twoc but I just wanted to update on her situation. Thank you so much to everyone who has spread those posts about her and donated to her, she is very grateful!!
