Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.
That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.
Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants and tossed them in federal detention all day. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.

The rolling grasslands and rocky beaches of
"Vandenberg Space Force Base",
— home to more than a dozen at-risk species,
easily could pass for a peaceful nature preserve
— but that's an illusion.
The nearly 100,000-acre base was a testing ground in the 1960s for early-generation ballistic missiles,
and today it's a launch site for satellites, classified missions and other payloads key to a new type of war: one fought far above the Earth.
Fascist paramilitary invaders gassed thousands including children during the Labor Against I.C.E. Rally and March (Portland, OR - 1/31/26)
This was a mid-afternoon march with the Unions. It was peaceful and respectful until ICE got insecure and decided to be dicks about it. No warnings either.

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂
RE: https://aus.social/@timhollo/116246489473163587
One of the great things about globalization is that countries start to get dependent on trading with each other, preventing conflicts and wars and normally leading to peaceful resolution of issues.
This is the biggest reason why most western countries had a relatively peaceful last 75 or so years (globalization obviously is not universally a good thing and has many problems of its own).
But the global turn to fascism and isolationism is starting to dismantle this system, making it worse for everyone.
There are numerous peaceful protests all over Minneapolis and Saint Paul still happening. Driving today, I saw many at intersections and over pedestrian bridges on the freeways.
You don't see the federal fascist government talking about them. The local police are supportive, and our National Guard has been handing out donuts and coffee near the Whipple building to protestors.
We may have won for today, but the fight is not over. ICE needs to leave our state. Renee and Alex …

The most ridiculous thing re the US 2nd Amendment zealots casting gun ownership as protection from a tyrannical government is that being armed & in conflict w/ the state (with not just a monopoly on violence but huge advantage) gives then carte blanche to kill you.
Peaceful protest or civil war.
Dear America,
It is time to get into the streets and demand this insane man leave. Impeachment will not work, nor the 25th amendment.
Stop thinking you have to go to Civil War (or any further toward that end) in order to force your president to resign.
Stop thinking the midterms will save you.
You and your friends need to do it by popular, peaceful, overwhelming demonstration.
You. Now. Force him to Resign.

I also think it's worth just doing the math here. There aren't enough ICE agents to remove an occupation of more than a couple of facilities. They would have to rely on local police. A lot of police departments have been ordered not to support ICE activities. This means Trump would have to activate the military. If an occupation was peaceful, especially playful like Portland, deployment may not even be possible. Meanwhile, if ICE agents continue to be as violent as they are Governors may be forced to activate the national guard to protect citizens against ICE.
Forcing conflict when Trump is at his weakest, in a way that is non-violent, puts resistance in the best possible position.
At the same time, we are at a strange time of unity. Trump supporters are leaving over Epstein, some are even mad about the deportations, and he's otherwise systematically alienated basically his whole base (except literal Nazis working for ICE).
The AI bubble is, in a lot of ways, a fun house mirror reflection of the 2008 financial crash. The whole economy is held up by loans secured with "compute." Everyone hates this, and Trump's policies have made everything far worse.
#OccupyICE could actually have a lot of momentum and be difficult to stop, especially if folks went to ICE facilities in frog suits and Luigi bloc with banners demanding the release of the Epstein files.
At least, that's my impression from out here.
My #silentsunday... Do you know that? You're lazy but you also know that you want some physical activity?
The weather wasn't motivating either. But I finally did one of my standard loops. It was indeed silent as there were almost no people out today.
No more than an occasional "hi". Besides that, no talking, nothing but a fox 🦊 in the distance on a field.

It looks like lying about the murder and calling Good a terrorist isn’t really flying with the press or the general public. We all know what we saw, and we Noem is full of BS.
Stay tuned for these greatest hits:
- “The real problem is that there’s video! Everything would be fine now if ICE could have just murdered her in secret.”
- “Of course this is tragic, but we cannot condone the violent response to Good’s killing [instigated by law enforcement, but we’re pretending it’s the public]! Now that there are riots [by law enforcement], we call on protestors [who have remained peaceful] to remain peaceful.”
“Canada supports the United States…..”
these are the only words that matter and I’m sorry what? This is “our” position? No. I reject this!!
Canada has stood for humanitarian law and international peace and security for nearly a century.
We should be a “Middle Power” with values. Right? Wasn’t that the Davos speech?!
But here we are clapping meekly from the sidelines as the country that would love to annex us, now ruled by a Christo-Fascist Regime, and in partnership with a Judeo-Fascist Regime blows up people in a country ruled by a Islamo-Fascist regime.
We are basically back to the Middle Ages but with nukes in our back pocket.
These are the three most dangerous countries in the world all fighting amongst themselves. We should not be taking sides, except for the side of peaceful civilians of all religions in all countries.
This is not the way.
I am shocked at the shallowness, the naïveté and the cowardice of Carney’s foreign policy.

“I told the White House the state must lead the investigation” into the fatal shooting of a man in Minneapolis this morning.
“Let state investigators secure justice.
As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The state has the personnel to keep people safe
– federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so,” he said.

On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent immediately after the police murdered George Floyd.
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the video became public.
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the protests started.
Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.
