2025 was the deadliest year on record for ICE.
People are dying in the camps.
They’re dying in the streets.
US citizens have been shot and killed.
These are just the deaths we know about.
Then there’s the deaths you won’t hear as much about.
The disabled. The vulnerable. The homeless or anyone labelled “expendable”.
Never forget that fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.
My latest is about Wael Tarabishi, a 30 year old disabled US citizen who relied on his father for full time care.
ICE grabbed Maher when he showed up for his yearly immigration check in.
Wael pleaded for his release. He told ICE he would die without his caregiver.
They didn’t care. Wael died three months later.
His dad never got to say goodbye.
His story deserves to be told.
ICE ensured his last months were filled with unnecessary pain and suffering.
They killed Wael:

A grandmother and Irish citizen, who immigrated to the US in 1978, legally holding a green card, was targeted by lmmigration for a $25 check that didn't clear when she was living paycheck to paycheck 11 years ago to a gas station. She paid restitution of $80 covering the bounced checks, plus $117 in court fees, & a year of probation. She spent 143 days in lCE detention facility, costing US taxpayers about $27,000.
Whatever your politics, is THIS what you want to pay for?

There definitely seems to be a vibe shift. From powerlessness and helplessness to empowerment and determination
I'm not the only one. And it's not just here on Mastodon.
Nothing is forever. No trend continues ever upward. We're learning the skills and fortitude we need. We're self-organizing against the shape that collective trauma has forced us into.
This too shall pass.
Then imagine the world we'll be able to build with the momentum.

Victims file suit against ICE after the government rounded up and imprisoned 400 people, including US Citizens and children, during a dragnet raid. The victims say ICE denied them water and food during their captivity.

Thank you Wired magazine for not paywalling this(!) it's the only reason i even found out that ICE plans to lease an office in Tukwila, WA.
Wired has a *ton* of info here that tells you where ICE plans to expand across various U.S. cities - and *quickly* .

One of the important things about combatting & resisting authoritarianism is the logging & publicising of its actions;
so very happy to include a link here to the ICE-list wiki; a log of incidents & agents for the use of any US follower seeking to get to grips with what is going on with the attack on democracy & the US population.
Also includes logs of ICE vehicles...
Our faith in social media can be (partly) restored!

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS:
the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote.
voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes.
the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION
Update. The repeal of the endangerment finding is based on a recommendation from Trump's Climate Working Group. Less than two weeks ago, a federal judge ruled that the group violated federal law by failing to represent a balance of viewpoints (all five members were hand-picked skeptics) and failing to hold public hearings.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/climate/energy-department-climate-ruling.html
Clearly "the decision to change the policy was made ahead of assembling scientific evidence to support that decision."

PS: There will be legal challenges to the EPA repeal of the endangerment finding, and those challenges will cite the procedural violations in the operation of the Climate Working Group. But it's not yet clear how far those violations will undermine the EPA action.

Update. The #EPA endangerment finding is gone.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/12/trump-epa-rollback-pollution-regulation-endangerment-finding
"The Trump administration has revoked the bedrock scientific determination which gives the government the ability to regulate climate-heating pollution. The move was described as a gift to 'billionaire polluters' at the expense of Americans’ health…Environmental advocates have condemned the move as illegal. A slew of green groups have promised to take EPA to court over the rollback."
