Hi, there. I just need to say one thing: FUCK ICE.

Okay, I’ll say another thing: keep resisting and fighting against ICE.

How can you do that? There are many different ways:
– You can protest in person, of course.
– Avoid buying things from companies like Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Whole Foods, since they all work with ICE.
– Get involved with local organizations to help protect people and find protests to participate in. Your local branches of Indivisible and 50501 are good places to start.
– Call your representatives and put pressure on them to abolish ICE and invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump (and all his cronies) from office. You can find their phone numbers with a quick online search, and the staffers on the other end will write down your message.
– If you see a snitch hotline phone number being passed around on social media, call it and give the workers and/or answering machine extremely useless information. Sing songs, rattle off trivia, quote movies and TV shows, talk about who you think is in the Epstein files, or mention anything else that comes into your head. (I did this for a Texas snitch hotline that went up last summer, and the whole process was strangely cathartic.) This helps gum up the hotline and prevents real snitches from informing on innocent people.
– If you own a business and ICE agents try to use it, refuse them service. It’s your right to refuse them.

And here’s the most important bit of advice: DON’T. GIVE. UP. Keep resisting, protesting, and fighting back. Everyone is angry at ICE right now, and if we keep pushing back against them, they cannot win. There are 340 million of us, after all, and they can’t get rid of us.

I know that telling you to rebel against a U.S. government agency is a far cry from what I usually write about here, but I have to say something. And actually, many of the narratives I’ve covered in my posts are explicitly anti-fascist (hi, Star Wars, Captain Marvel, Wicked, and even Harry Potter), so this feels a bit like life imitating art.

Also, it scares me that both Renee Good and Alex Pretti (ICE’s most recent murder victims, who were innocent people) were just a year old than I am. Like, yikes, we’re the ones you’re going after? I guess I see the Millennial generation as people who are trying to figure our lives out, while ICE sees us as fully adult threats.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say for now.
