Unforeseen consequences

#SandintheGears
I’m working on my infection prevention certification due to the TB outbreak here and it requires me to click on CDC supporting resource links to continue. It enrages me every time I have to look at the “This page no longer exists” screen.

3000 ICE agents in Minneapolis are staying somewhere.
They're renting cars.
They're eating.

Minnesota let the rest of us know where and what companies.

Oh *what a shame* if we all did this!

#resist #SandInTheGears 🖕✊
“DOGE” is demanding all federal employees email HR@opm.gov 5 things they accomplished week—or be fired.

So please do NOT email HR@opm.gov nonsense trolling their stupidity. That would likely slow down this fascist regime.

Please do not boost this post either.

🧵 on the purpose and importance of ICE Watch
#SandInTheGears
I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I love it. That and the 'ice on the flags' are both signs of the Resistance already showing its face. #SandInTheGears. All the way and at every single step.

Yep. No UC. All roll call votes. No cloture on *anything*. Fully debate everything. Make them earn every single second of Congressional time they have left. Put useless Schumer to some use; make him read Dr Seuss for a few hours. 🙄

Trans people need to do this for self-protection. But cis people SHOULD do this, and refer to declare their sex or gender wherever it's asked. There are more of us and more chance of making these vile systems unworkable.

#SandInTheGears
If you're trans and work for a sizable UK company or organisation, now is a great time to log into your HR portal and remove any information you can on your sex/gender, e.g. by replacing any information with "prefer not to say".

🏛️ If your city council doesn’t know what they’re doing, they could be invalidating their actions by not following your state’s open meeting laws. You can be #SandInTheGears by objecting with a “point of order.” Find your state statutes here: www.law.cornell.edu/states/listing

Post about the lovely spanish tapas you had, and what a COOL ICE CUBE your cocktail sported. The first pass will be automated, and then humans will have to review for context. Waste their time.

"Organizers deliberately chose not to hold an event in Washington because of the military celebration, although other groups have planned demonstrations in the capital for Saturday."

I get the intent, but you can't stop thuggery by avoiding the thug.

Glitter bomb the interior of the car. Pull the pins out of the tires on the far side. Lipstick ICE on the glass.
If I ever personally witness a knee on the back of someone's neck or lungs, I will do whatever is necessary to protect that person's life. At best, you get to go to the dentist to remove a boot. At worst, your family will mourn you. This is lethal. Don't do it.
