As many people as ICE is abducting right now, where are they being sent? Because as diverse as Minneapolis is, even a lightning speed deportation can’t happen fast enough to dozens of nations around the world. Tons of Somalians in the US were born here. They don’t even have citizenship in Somalia.
If there isn’t a concentration camp, they probably have a dozen or more spread around the city in warehouses and railroad cars and shit. I have read the white people they arrest are beaten and abused but released in an average of 48 hours to make room for caging those with darker skin tones.
I’ve read Walz is not seeking reelection because of nazi death threats. If I didn’t have a family depending on me, man, I don’t know what the fuck I’d do, but … so easy to imagine making that blood flow. Death to all nazis now, regardless of what labels they’ve chosen for themselves, what flag they’re flying. Eat shit and die, motherfuckers, please.
Anyway, on the antidoomerism policy, it does continue to be true that 99.9% of us will not become victims of this political violence, and life under fascism can suck but it can still be a life, with whatever moments of joy that can hold. Let nobody who is frightened of these fucking monsters allow that fear to harm them in any way.
Long live the fighters in Minneapolis, LA, Chicago, Portland, wherever the jackboot treads. May your enemies die face down in their own blood and piss. No justice no peace.

“Evil policemen patrol the city;
They look for somebody to kill.
They’ve done a little damage,
They wanna do some more now,
And they probably will.”
“I Wish This Song Was Louder” by Electric Six (2006)
I tease that this was prophetic, but the fact is police work attracts murderers like priest work attracts child molesters, so it’s been true. But still, it jumps out when you hear it, given the way hair fuhrer’s goon squad is besieging Minneapolis at the moment. If they keep on like this, we’re going to have a massacre at some point, possibly hundreds of victims. I’m sure ICE’s secret body count is already well over a hundred “invisible people,” but this is that main street action he was bragging about. Different.
The casual level of control the fash have over complicit corporate media might prove insufficient at that point. My guess is they’ll try to seize direct control of media then. I bet google rolls over for the murderers and restricts youtube for them. What else might happen? A good model for how the pigs will react could be the Philippines under Duterte, when they were piling up dead college students and claiming they were all narcoterrorists.
The rest of this song is more silly and irrelevant. Give you something less dire to look at.

this is just a dreampost. for more substantial things, look two posts back.
had a dream i was at the ice protest marching around town, being bored and confused, but committed nonetheless. at some point i became spiderman and was running around the walls acting the fool, which people enjoyed well enough.
i decided to go crash a fashion show being put on by madonna at the mall, to make some kind of a point, but she had something for me – a special costume in different colors and a gizmo that she expected me to use to hunt down a certain super villain.
afterwards i was trying to figure out how to use that device and i accidentally fried aunt may with 8000 volts. she lived somehow so i was hunkydory. this was probably inspired by spiderman’s incompetence directly causing aunt may’s death in the most recent spiderfilm. oops spiderspoilers that movie fundamentally sucked anyways, just tricked you into caring with nostalgia.
i woke up with van morrison’s domino and ac/dc’s givin’ the dog a bone in my head, for reasons, then immediately had to go to work. be nice to have some recovery time.

It’s easy when an issue is outside your direct experience to see it more broadly, to feel its impact less personally. I dunno, these words are excuses for the fact that while I was always on the better side of the issue of immigration, I wasn’t passionate about it. Recent events have changed that, which is good. Of course, it feels bad.
My husband had a boyfriend once who was racist against Mexicans, and when that came out, my dude didn’t even process it at first. How can you hate those guys with the oompa music and straw cowboy hats? What did they do to you, rat-faced little creep? I had a friend who emerged from the methed-out trailer park to become an itinerant goth queen, very cool, but one time she likewise exposed a racism against Mexicans that shocked me. I imagine she has moved and improved since then. Unlike my husband’s shitbird ex, my goth friend had decent values in the broad sense, was amenable to change. And I did understand what was happening to call it out when I saw it, so she had a learning opportunity.
Now where are we? I’m on the phone at my day job, full time talking to the breadth of amuriKKKa about the difficulties of obtaining and maintaining benefits of various social programs. I had a front row seat to the effects of rethuglican propaganda, as late 2023 through the whole of 2024, there was a significant increase in the number of fools randomly blaming “the illegals” for the barriers they were experiencing. Motherfuckers, those barriers were set in place by racists like you, who are convinced with zero evidence that there are a zillion little brown people getting buckets of welfare cash. You are literally voting to make life harder for yourselves. They did, and now my rate of fucked-up tragic phone calls where I can’t do anything to help a person has increased, because of this shit. Cause and effect.
I’ve carefully come close to saying exactly that a few times, and the response from xenophobes is a surly nuh-uh, or silence, or whatever. Doesn’t matter. What’s really making them mad is that we can’t explicitly make a whites only pass for welfare programs. When the revolution comes (if shit comes to that) I will shoot these people in the face.
The mobilization of the genocide machine has begun. Of course it’s starting with immigrants. Saw a comment at Mano’s that “people will die because of this situation.” I regret to inform you they are certainly dying already, and had been under Biden and Obama as well. It’s just going to get worse now.
Talk about “the illegals” has never been about the rule of law, or protecting your people, or whatever they imagined. It’s the seed of mass murder. Zero tolerance for that talk wherever you encounter it. Fuck the motherfuckers.
Let us stay furious, block the bastards, be as proactive as we can be, protect those who need protection, and not sleep on a single instance of this ongoing horror. I say that but I know it’s already too late for a full account of the fallen. So many of those ghosts will never be named.
No more ghosts, no more genocide. Fuck the USA.
