Where we’ll be @norcalresist.bsky.social

people were upset at masks and now you want everyone to show a birth certificate and social security card to buy cigarettes

You guys realize that the people you want to call ICE on can't vote, right? Do you also realize that most of them feel burned by Latino men who voted for Trump? My family, which are mostly immigrants who are citizens feel burned pretty badly and yet here y'all are being stupid.

@homebrewposting As long as you’re not talking about really large amounts of cash you don’t have to have a tax status. Some banks offer “community group” accounts that are low barrier to open. Bigger orgs/bail funds may use another sympathetic org as their “fiscal sponsor” for money stuff

Question for the more experienced anarchists: how do you manage money and goods collectively as a mutual aid org without being a nonprofit?

As an Undocumented immigrant, it's baffling how easy the word deportation is coming out of everyone's mouth. I don't wish deportation on anyone. I don't wish family separation on anyone. These jokes aren't funny, specially when they are closer to reality than you realize.

Let’s pack the virtual court this Tuesday! 😤 Our community member Eri has an opportunity to be released on bond next week from the Desert View Annex Detention Center - we need your support to help us pack the virtual court on Tuesday.

I agree completely that Miller will be the immigration tzar yet again and he will try to victimize as many immigrants as possible but with the rise in influence of the likes of Musk and Vivek, and Trump's own long term reliance on H2B, I would not be surprised that we may see a different and more nuanced approach to high-skilled immigration and high paid applicants this time around. I also expect that there will be a push for a merit-based immigration reform and overhaul. The targets of Miller and Homan will be * border apprehension, detention, and pushbacks * recent arrivals, especially CHNV * ppl w final orders * ppl w criminal record * anyone in removal proceedings * shutting down Diversity Visa program and Family Preference visa processing

We know that many of you, like us, are trying to wrap your heads around what the next few years will hold. These are a few titles that have helped us think through what we are up against and the resistance we need. Please read them, share them, use them. akpress.org/featured-produ…

The SVTU is cooking 🍳 rn and we’d love to meet 🤝 some new future members. We’ve got canvassing, workshops, and solidarity actions coming up. DM 💬 us if you’re interested in attending or taking part. No better time to grow the movement than RIGHT NOW 💯

"Soft-sided" detention facilities (think fancy tents with jail cells in them) are cash cows for private prison contractors. A single 500-bed facility in San Diego cost $118 million to build. Keeping a 1,000 bed facility in Eagle Pass open costs taxpayers $143.6 million a year.

In the face of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, CA must set a model of inclusion for the nation. Our leaders must IMMEDIATELY use every tool at their disposal to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors - and our deepest values. Please read and share our full statement ⬇️

I can’t believe I have to say this in 2024 but mass deportations irreparably harm the people being hunted down, detained, and deported and their families. Focusing on how you’re gonna pay more for your groceries because there will be less farmworkers is frankly offensive af.

A special shout out to USCIS Director Ur Jaddou. Soon she will pop up in liberal spaces about how evil Trump is but she has to be the worst admin official ever. The processing times are outrageous and when Trump takes over she will leave many vulnerable who shouldn’t be.

Do you hate cops? Bosses? UCD admin? Join us 11/13 @ 3-5 on the quad for a hands-on workshop where we’ll learn various methods for getting your message out on campus and beyond. Materials provided or bring your own to share!

This is tonight (I'm stressing the fuck out and have no fucking clue what I'm going to say onstage lol)

gonna keep ringing this bell: everyone from climate to repro activism should get familiar w/ the techniques used to repress the Stop Cop City movement (bs RICO charges, weaponization of vague new "anti-terror" laws, criminalization of bail funds, ect) and have a plan to meet them

The president does not give us our rights. The courts won't protect them. Even the Constitution fails to safeguard our rights. It's ordinary people supporting and defending each other which has always protected our rights, and no election can take that power away.

What does this mean? It means without horizontal orgs, assemblies, prefigurative communal food forests, liberated land/free housing, protections, and massive riots/negation, they have no reason to heed us. You know how we got the civil rights act? Not by holding signs politely :)
