BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:

“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

GoFundMe for Kaden Rummler, the young trans man blinded by ICE agents this week.

This was pointed out in the tags but a second man was also shot in the eye by ICE agents at these protests. His name is Britain Rodriguez and while there is currently no active GoFundMe for Britain, please make noise about him too.

"Rummler said he joined the protest against immigration authorities because he can’t stand seeing families torn from their homes. Despite his injuries, he said he would do it again. 'I refuse to sit around idly and watch that happen, and in 50 years, I would absolutely regret not trying to make a change,' he said."

[ID: the first image is a tweet sharing a photo of Kaden Rummler, a white person with shoulder length brown hair and major bruising around one eye. Tweet's text is already pasted below the image. Next image shows the gofundme.]

I have just been informed there are scooby doo fans who make the titular scoob shaggy's service animal & this is fun and cute but my immediate thought was medical alert dog scooby doo going RUH ROH ! And it's kind of frying me

RAGGY YOUR ROOD RESSURE

I'm picturing Scooby in a t-shirt that says "Service Animal Do Not Pet" and he's frantically miming Shaggy's condition to passersby and intermittently waving Scooby-snacks under Shaggy's nose like smelling salts

We're creating our own version of Alice in Wonderland, but uh, heh, get this... this isn't your mama's Alice in Wonderland. It's a little bit twisted. A little bit fucked up

exiting a uquiz halfway through when it becomes clear the creator's narrow and immature world view and cultural knowledge leaves them totally unequipped to tell me which peanuts character i am with any degree of accuracy or insight

I think it goes without saying that I want every ICE agent to take a hot spatula up the ass but wanting isn't enough so here are some things I've been delighting in that you can too

1) Show up to raids and protests. Mask up, turn off your location, record everything, etc. etc. If you're white, use your privilege to be the front of the line and do the talking. Pro tip: don't call them fascists—they don't care and even take pride in it. Call them gay or whatever hits their toxic masculine owie spot. And keep an eye on your local ICE watch for new movement.

2) Make noise. Lots of it, especially at night around their hotels. It only takes a few people with a car horn or musical instruments, but of course, the more the merrier. Bagpipe players, this is your time to shine. ICE is roving from place to place day after day, so a few nights of no sleep will quickly get to them.

3) Skip police, call the tow companies. ICE has a tendency to park in places they're not supposed to, and contrary to what The Sofa Slut says, they are not immune and tow companies are more than happy to take their vehicles.

4) Flood hotels and businesses. Hilton is a major culprit, but so are local ones. Keep calling reception, including at night. Be nice to the staff, but demand that they stop serving ICE. Hotels have already refused to rent because of this.

5) Ice ICE. If you live in a cold place like me, get a battery-powered kettle and pour hot water on the cars, especially onto the windshields and into the wiper wells. Get a snowblower and garden hose and douse them and their vehicles, especially when it's parked without them around. Pack snow in the tailpipe. Lead them into the snowdrifts and ice patches—you know the terrain, they don't. They're basically trying to invade Russia in the winter.

6) Ridicule strips power. In their minds, our anger is irrational and only justifies their presence. Mock them, laugh at them, meme the hell out of them. Let them know they are the laughingstock of this and every other country.

7) Refuse them service. "We're all booked." "We're closing." "We have the right to refuse service to anyone." Whether you are a hotel concierge, cashier at McDonald's, or anything else. Don't help them, don't take their money. If your boss doesn't give you a choice, be absolutely incompetent at your job to slow them down. The kitchen is now backed up and takes an hour for salads.

8 – and most important) Look out for your neighbors. Warn people if you see ICE activity. Don't answer your doors. Don't give up information about yourself or others. In fact, as far as you're concerned, you've never seen an immigrant in your life. Other than maybe the house that belongs to the local legislator you hate. Also, donate to local efforts and families being impacted, offer grocery deliveries, safe rides, distributing information, etc.—practical things that keep the community running and sustains momentum.

Take a basic first aid/CPR course! You can find them online if you can’t find one in person. YOU can be the difference between someone dying in the street or surviving.

okay, I’ll bite. What’s media

media is when one guy is chasing another with a knife but a tv camera zooms in so it looks like the guy with the knife is being attacked by the guy who’s actually running away. that’s media.

Christ that’s fucked up. Is anyone doing anything about this?
