In Europe we have 'Stolpersteine' at houses were nazis took the inhabitants and deported them to concentrations camps.
May be an idea for the USA right now.

@WvOostveen @georgetakei My mind made the same connection! Maybe some day we will be able to commemorate our stolen neighbors by name ... one hopes they will not be murdered at scale (already there have been some).

@WvOostveen @georgetakei So that's where they got the idea?

Germany has had its own version of this for quite some time:

@koehntopp @georgetakei Exactly my first thought on this photo.

@georgetakei Is there a source for this that's not a screenshot from birdchan?

@dalias Looks like the image might have originally been on Thredz (not much better, I know), and was reposted to Xittter.

@dalias Also found on F'book, which I'm obviously not going to link here, but identical to the Thredz post, incl same acct (Radical Graffiti). I'll keep looking, but I have a feeling RG may have created the stencil and photographed their own work. Regardless of provenance, I like the idea, and hope it spreads.
Show threadCassandrichNov 28
@wesdym Yeah same here.
Show threadWesDymNov 28
@dalias Same for Insta, and I found another acct that looks identical. This seems to have followed ICE activity in Downtown Seattle earlier this year. Such stencils can easily last a year or more if done properly.

@georgetakei Reminds me of sidewalk plaques I've seen in Europe. Here are examples from Amsterdam and Rome.

@henryk @georgetakei I know—those are just the examples I have in my photo archives.

I maintain ICE should be something that is put in my glass or beverage container to make my drink colder. The end!

btw, good morning, George. Let's make some progress today. Happy Thanksgiving, and safe travels if you are out tomorrow as we will be....Go Texas Aggies!

@georgetakei Maybe some enterprising person could provide/sell this and similar stencil kits, even as simple as Melt Ice.

@trumpresistance @georgetakei I have to say I’m a little disappointed there isn’t a loosely connected resistance called SALT who’s only mission is to counter ICE operations. Somebodies Against Legalised Terrorism, something like that it doesn’t really matter.
