Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.
Happy Spoonerism Day to all those who belly crate.

Does anyone know if the person who came up with the phrase, "One Hit Wonder," ever came up with any other phrases?

A few of the bits and bobs I'm getting together for my new black and white photography portfolio website πŸ–€

Shot over the last couple of years at various locations across the UK and Europe.

ICE's $175 billion windfall: Trump's mass deportation force set to receive military-level funding - Salon.com

ICE is set to receive a massive infusion of cash aimed at building the capacity to detain more than 100,000 people

@tend2wobble If sane people can manage to vote with a single voice in the midterm elections we can defund ICE in entirety. 0 out its budget. Midterms are in 16 months. We can still hold them all accountable for their lawlessness IF WE VOTE

@CaptMorgan @tend2wobble

What makes you think the fascists in power will ever permit a legit election? It would be *so* out of character.

@CaptMorgan @tend2wobble Ok, but please don't put all of your eggs in the "voting" basket.
Voting, while important, has a terrible record when it comes to stopping fascists.

@CaptMorgan @tend2wobble

And no one should be elected if they can't bring themselves to say "abolish ICE".

@tend2wobble

And Drumph is going to ignore court orders and everything else for whoever gets sent into ICE contractor prisons.

@aka_quant_noir It’s going to be a fight to the finish to destroy el tRumpo’s abominations, but we WILL prevail. (and will always fight the rise of fascism)

@tend2wobble

Been calling the current administration in invading force. That at least one journalist said the coup already happened, which I agree with.

This is the power consolidation phase of their war on us.

We can start shutting down data along with general strikes. We have to pull up steaks and shut the economy down.

That is going to take a lot of local support networks to pull off. It isn’t like we have much choice.

@tend2wobble There's no need for a secret army of masked men in unmarked vehicles carrying no identification. That's not police. That's criminals with government sanction. None of my local police officers wear masks and they all identify themselves and they deal with drug dealers and gang bangers, not Jose' who flips burgers down at the Dairy Barn. #fuckice

@tend2wobble

bigger than Israel's *is* a thing, tho

@rexi @tend2wobble the article said their new budget is $175b which would put it third on the list.

@tend2wobble

Not correct. Please don't spread disinformation. It was easy enough to check before you posted.

RU military budget is $126B. ICE will be $37.5B. That, however, makes that one domestic policing entity's budget larger than the 16th largest national military budget in the world - Italy. And larger than the countries of Israel, The Netherlands, Brazil, and Switzerland. Israel is currently at war, no reason for domestic ICE to have more funding than the IDF. None.

@pattykimura Moreover, every ruble is financed by borrowed yuan, and won + another 30,000 soldiers. @tend2wobble
<span class="caps">GOP</span> Budget Bill Would Make <span class="caps">ICE</span> β€œLargest Federal Law Enforcement Agency in the History of the Nation”

The budget bill just passed by the Senate provides more than $170 billion in new funding for immigration enforcement and detention. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who worked on an analysis published by the American Immigration Council, says the new budget would make ICE β€œthe single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation.”

@tend2wobble So, do you read what you post? Or just make up deliberate shit?
No where in the Democracy Now link does it support your first assertion, in fact it disproves it.
So you deliberately posted a lie.
You're the Lisa Murkowski of toad.social. Nice. Reported and blocked.

@tend2wobble

Things are bad.

What's the source for the comparison?

Did you verify?

We need accuracy in bad times.

@tend2wobble oh no time for revolution I guess
@tend2wobble In fairness, comparing the budgets between our country and Russia is a waste of time. Russia pays roughly 1/100th as much for every soldier as we do. People are basically a disposable commodity there.
This isn’t to downplay the disaster that is about to befall our country.

@Dawilson999 @tend2wobble

It will be interesting to see if civil society can muster enough negative reinforcement when people take an ICE paycheck that they can't recruit. The low hanging violent sociopathic racists will not feed that beast enough. They actually have to get decent people to take these jobs. If civil society can apply social pressure against joining ICE... is what I'm thinking/hoping for.

@tend2wobble wow, that's huge. Is there any source for this?
@tend2wobble
I'm pretty sure they have a bigger budget than the marines. Trump is spending money like crazy, which is typical of Republicans.
@tofugolem @tend2wobble Yet Democrats mainly wanted to talk about tax cuts for billionaires and rarely mentioned the ICE funding as one of the top evils in the bill. I'd certainly rather have all that money sitting idle in Jeff Bezos' bank account than funding concentration camps and thugs to put people in them.
@tend2wobble There goal isn't abt ridding the country of immigrants. It's abt decolorization. Voting tomorrow will do nothing to protect BIPOC today. Bc, the war against white supremacy is beginning

@Gustodon America can start with this tactic. Works.
