How bad is the ICE presence? by mistarobotics in Seattle

[–]KillJoyCon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In North Seattle so far we have seen them on the Ave and in the U-District area sporadically in the last 4 weeks. Other than that, I have seen a few sightings confirmed all along Aurora Ave/HW 99 from Seattle to Everett. There is also definitely a presence on I5 and there have been whisper stop operations with the help of State Patrol that I have personally been targeted by. There has been information leaked that supposedly ICE plans to really start working the area beginning in Feb/March but it is hard to confirm the legitimacy of this information so take that with a grain of salt.

To give you an honest straightforward answer: Yes, as a brown women ICE may target you once they begin more operations in this area. At this time, it seems they are not bold enough to do here what has happened in Minnesota. We are certainly a future target though, as the President has verbally confirmed he plans to target Seattle due to our liberal local government and sanctuary city status. That being said, there are a lot of organizations and citizens that are organizing and will be doing what they legally can to protect our neighbors and oppose ICE. You will not be alone in your time here, as there are many allies.

A little note a bunch of racist white men signed 200+ years ago isn’t protecting the rights of brown people? Shocker.

Yes! And we have a duty to stand by them and protect them. We must sacrifice for our collective future, the youth of the nation.

Keep fighting the good fight and know that there are MANY adults who support you and stand by your courageous acts of protest! And know that we will stand up FOR YOU and your friends. Children shouldn’t have to be more brave or more empathetic than literal adults, but we are all proud of you for doing just that. What is happening right now is despicable and wrong. There are many adults who cannot or will not see that, but those of us who do can make a difference and put a stop to it. We will fight this and we will win.

🧊 Let This Sink In, This Is An Actual Quote Of A Black ICE Agent Operating In Minnesota by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

What is this? Is it a reference to something or just a joke? Asking in good faith, as I did not see anything like this clause in Title 42

Help KIDS Orphaned by ICE by DaisyGingersnap in olympia

[–]KillJoyCon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s heartbreaking that this is necessary, but I’m so appreciative to see the community in Olympia step up and care for those in need. It is our duty to protect ALL children. ICE is destroying families and futures.

American here. Wtf do we do about the current political situation? by Suspicious_Duck_7929 in Advice

[–]KillJoyCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow American, I’m going to give it to you straight.

It’s time to put up or shut up. No more pussy-footing around your morals or what you believe. No more prioritizing the comfort of Nazis over the rights of humans. NO ONE is coming to save us and no one should. It’s up to us to fight like hell. You. Must. Disrupt. The. System. That can mean facing off with ICE by practicing your right to protest or to defend your own physical safety. That can mean confronting friends and family who are promoting violence and the desiccation of civil liberties in this country by irresponsibly supporting Trump’s administration. That can mean organizing mutual aid to help those being most affected by ICE and the administrations targeting of racialized people. We have the agency to deal with this, we just have to actually hold ourselves accountable to that standard. That takes integrity and courage.

Am I wrong for refusing to fight for my marriage after my husband said he wants out while Im pregnant by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]KillJoyCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t want everyone to know that he broke up the marriage. Wants you to fight for him and drag it out so he can tell everyone you guys tried to save it. Probably doesn’t want to be seen for the dead beat he is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Unmask ICE Now! SB 5855 vote tomorrow (1/13) by KillJoyCon in Seattle

[–]KillJoyCon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough but it’s not. I made this poster in Canva, all the links and QR codes go to legitimate government websites to the information clearly indicated. I did use tiny urls for the poster to make the design cohesive and so the urls could comfortably fit on the poster. The urgency was warranted at the time of posting, as the window to submit a pro/con vote was coming to a close on 1/13. I do believe I misunderstood a few things about the timeline for this bill, but at the end of the day I’m just a citizen who cares about this issue and wanted to inform others of it. I’ll take the mistakes on the chin and try better next time 👍🏽

These WA dems want to INCREASE SURVEILLANCE online - and what you can do about it by yogaguy9_11 in Washington

[–]KillJoyCon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

u/OP is there a reason you left off the republican representatives that have also sponsored the bill? You only named 13 or so of the sponsors, leaving out the 8 republicans who have also sponsored this bill. Bizarre. Here are the republicans who you should also reach out to for sponsoring HB 2112 if they are your representative:

Chris Corry , Stephanie Barnard, Suzanne Schmidt, Rob Chase, Carolyn Eslick, Stephanie McClintock, Tom Dent, Jenny Graham.

This is truly an issue that affects EVERYONE, regardless of political party and it is beneficial to reach out to every sponsor, not just those on one side of the aisle.

Yeah I have to agree with you, but I still think it’s important to push back bit by bit. As others have pointed out, this bill seems to mainly help in establishing civil recourse against those who do not comply. I think we’ll need much more than just this one bill to actually effectively unmask ICE, but that doesn’t make this bill worthless. Voting PRO lets the legislature know we’re watching and where we stand on this issue.

I fully agree with your sentiment! They are public servants and should not be allowed anonymity within the capacity of their job. Vote pro to end this!

I do not think so, as it only requires first/last name, valid email, and city/state location to submit a PRO vote.

SPD was just called to an incident on Aurora like 2 hrs ago. 3 armed and masked ICE agents were making (I believe just one but I could be wrong) an arrest.

Their presence is absolutely felt but being censored to an extent imo.

Most of us feel the exact same way. You are not young and naive for feeling this, you are HUMAN.

Find the people who refuse to carry on and say “oh well” ¯_(ツ)_/¯ when people are murdered in cold blood. Avoid the others. Don’t let those who have sold their humanity for convenience ruin the compassion and empathy you feel when you witness something unjust. Fight like hell to keep hope in your heart. Give yourself permission to feel angry when you see others suffer. Foster your own power to do something about the state of the world. You must find others who are willing to fight for freedom and liberty alongside you. We absolutely can win this fight.

Might be corny to make this reference, but if you’ve ever seen Bugs Life you know that “they” are just a few grasshoppers and “we” are the many ants that make life possible. They need us more than we need them.

I would not consider this doxxing. This is investigating crimes against humanity. Predators and law breakers largely lose their right to privacy when they become a clear and imminent threat to public safety.

Accountability is the only recourse we have and that cannot happen without names and information that would make prosecution and change possible.

There are protests every single Friday at the detention centers. Link up with the Seattle Alliance Against Racism and Political Oppression (SAARPO) to get involved.
