This is fascism; ICE is destroying lives, locking up our family members, friends, & people standing up to power. Despite the violence, immigration bond & criminal bail still exist & allow folks to fight deportations & prosecutions from freedom. #AbolishICE, #FreeThemAll 1/3

Authoritarianism is here. Migrants, unhoused people, & protestors will be targeted immediately under the incoming administration, jailed on bail & bond they cannot pay.

This is TOMORROW, Tuesday, June 18th and will be a great discussion, hosted by @haymarketbooks - sign up for livestream link (with captioning and ASL) below:
Under Biden, ICE has attempted to reposition ATD as compassionate services and is actively working to recruit non-profits to do its deportation compliance bidding. But, we see through the lies. And so can you. Put on your truth glasses! pathwaystodeportation.net/

On the right, the image of a skeleton ICE agent, and hands holding up Immigration Customs Enforcement brochures that have been decoded with the glasses, and read "Pathways to Deportation", "We'll use you up", "Then Discard you".
ICE has massively expanded its so-called “Alternatives to Detention Program” – a net-widening deportation management program. pathwaystodeportation.net/
Thanks to @j_simonson & @johnlegend for this timely piece - we know that attacks on community bail funds & community care are an attack on freedom. It's still #FreeThemAll
The solidarity & support bail funds received in 2020 contributed to so much freedom, but every year since at least 10 states file bills trying to regulate & criminalize them as punishment. These laws exist now in NY, TX, & IN, but so many more are a constant threat. 1/3
Criminalization of community care is increasing, and ppl who are targets will have fewer options for freedom. These laws chill organizing, suppress dissent, & criminalize the very human desire to help someone who is suffering and to build a more free world. #FreeThemAll 2/3
Proposed for 2024: KY: HB5 severely restricts the work of bail funds. GA: SB63 requires bail funds to register as a professional bond company, limits bail posting to 3/year. Failure to comply is a crime. TN: HB2630 prohibits bail payments from charitable bail funds. 3/3
We've all seen images of Brittany Watts in grief & pain.
We hope the photos taken today, resilient & surrounded by community, are the ones you remember her by. Photos by Sue Ogrocki via the AP apnews.com/article/miscarria…
