Yes to all and to add one, tone policing. If they can’t think of any other way to dismiss what you are saying, they will critique the way in which you said it. No matter how you said it, they will say you are angry or aggressive.

White folks don’t want silent protests, just silence.

I’m so glad this person put ways to retort against common sayings because I am full of filler words and pauses and not being able to articulate things right and now I have backup words.

Holy shit…. Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).

[dravidarasathi]

Like they were holding the line across the entry gate and refusing to let night shift guards in and a massive truck just, fucking, drove up to them then slowed as the protestors got up from where they were sitting, alarmed, then the truck accelerated into people.

[dravidarasathi]

It doesn’t seem like there are any serious injuries. The people who were around the truck after it stopped accelerating into people were pepper sprayed.

[dravidarasathi]

EDIT: Wyatt ICE Detention Center, not Wayne

SOURCE: Never Again Action’s twitter livestream of the action and the car attack

[scottishwobbly]

The truck was driven by an ICE guard.

As this information is publicly available, the law in the US does not consider this doxxing, which is why it was on twitter on the first place. Here’s the guy.

[corporatetwitteraccount]

Its the same people. If you can stomach working for ICE its because you’re a right-wing fascist. Same tactics, different day.

[jewishcaz]

Fun fact, y’all!! Jewish protesters have been surrounding and shutting down ICE detention centers for weeks now, and we’re getting absolutely NO media coverage. None. In the slightest. And by jewish protesters I mean THOUSANDS OF US HAVE BEEN PROTESTING FOR NIGHTS ON END AND OVER 250 HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AT THIS POINT AND WE ARE GETTING ZERO COVERAGE. This is probably the biggest protest movement in american jewish history and it’s getting no coverage. We got hit with a truck DRIVEN BY A DETENTION CENTER GUARD and pepper sprayed and many people ended up in the hospital - one man in his sixties has a broken leg and a potentially broken back because of it. PLEASE REBLOG THIS. THOUSANDS OF YOUR JEWISH SIBLINGS ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE CENTERS AND WE’RE GETTING ZERO COVERAGE. PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THIS AROUND.

[marble-guts]

Never Again Action has been protesting ICE the entire time. Recently they launched a virtual protest against ICE’s vigilante justice program in Chicago. If you want to read more about this program, this is a link to an NPR article (dated 7/10/2020) and a Chicago news article (dated 7/10/2020). 

Here is the Google Docs with info on this campaign. Basically, the idea is to flood the application website with thoughts, opinions, etc. 

Please participate in this protest if you can and spread this information to others.

The filmmakers stated that ICE threatened to subpoena raw footage and “threatened legal action” if scenes that negatively portrayed their policies and actions were not removed. 

The pair went as far as to start using encrypted messenger services, installing cameras in their office and moving the raw footage to a secure location to thwart what they believed was very aggressive rhetoric by ICE through the negotiations around the finished film.

[penny-anna]

LOTR au but instead of hobbits literally raccoons

Gandalf: well this raccoon found the ring and has been carrying it around. unfortunately we can’t take it off him or he gets very bite-y. so I figure, the raccoon is the ringbearer now

Elrond: what are those other three raccoons doing here

Gandalf: he brought his buddies. I call this one ‘Merry’

Men be like “Let me just play Devil’s Advocate” like no, Shut up. You are the Devil

[user87262893]

This post Has Influenced Me Beyond Reason.. Yesterday a man said to me “well, to be devil’s advocate-” and I said “there’s no ‘advocate’, men are the devil and when you speak its with his tongue” and he stared at me until be both awkwardly laughed bc i momentarily was haunted by a Victorian feminist ghost

[thesubcon10ent]

I once had a guy I was arguing with tell me he was being the devils advocate and I replied “self advocating? that’s a bold move.” and I don’t think I’ve ever felt that powerful in my life

[flanneranne]

I always respond with “I dunno, seems like he’s got enough advocates” but I think I’ll put both of these into regular rotation moving forward.
