As I stated this morning, The Halfway Post is not a source of news. But it IS a source of ideas.

This is from National Day Laborer Organizing Network in Pasadena #California. Especially if you live in a blue city, you can help LA or a local organization like this one! They are helping abducted workers and the families who depend on them. Every donation and show of support helps.

I've been posting videos of this, but once again, the people of #LosAngeles keep going to the hotels where #ICE is staying and playing loud music all night.

ICE lies about who they are to get hotel owners to book them rooms, so it's an easy call for the hotel owners to chuck those mofos out.

People are supporting #LosAngeles food vendors by buying all their stock so they can go back home and hide from the #ICE Nazis. (And, as I posted earlier today, students in Boyle Heights are bringing groceries to people who can't leave their homes. This kind of program is going on all over the country.)

Mutual aid is resistance! Not everybody can physically handle tear gas or the heat or rubber bullets, but many can still help those in hiding get enough to eat.

"While 'Neighbors,' an app for #Amazon Ring doorbell users, usually helps people find lost pets or packages, last week saw a dramatic shift: shocked by #ICE operations in and around #LosAngeles, residents began using the Amazon-owned platform to warn their communities about immigration agents conducting searches and arrests."

Now THAT'S fuckin funny, using the fascists' own apps against them.

Like I said, LA resisters are even funnier and cooler than glitter bombs.

Rep Maxwell Frost, who is on the Good List, has introduced legislation called the Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment (SUDEM) act. It aims to force transparency in treatment of detainees.

"If the Trump Administration is adamant they are following the will of the American people, then they should have no problem letting the American people and the world know what is happening behind the scenes at these facilities."

These guys heard that the Commander in Chief wanted tanks in the streets.

If it's even occurred to me, it's certainly occurred to other people that you could infiltrate ICE with a face cover and tactical gear/ patches off Amazon, and just for example you could drive off with one of their kidnapping vans in the middle of a raid. 🤔

Another video from #LosAngeles showing a prayer vigil that apparently necessitated another 2000 troops from the president who already tear gassed a prayer vigil in his first term.

When I first read this it briefly flashed across my mind "Good Lord, of course we understand how important LA is, the whole country is rising up in solidarity with LA," but then I remembered the millions of people who thought Nazis would get them cheaper eggs. He's right, there are those who don't understand. Fortunately many more of us do, and are hitting the streets to show we do.

In either case, I thank him for his encouragement.

"As Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez prepare to celebrate their wedding in Venice from June 24–26 on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, some local residents and activists have announced protests. Demonstrations are being organized... Protest banners have appeared on churches and bell towers, and marches are expected throughout the week."

Well done Italy!

It's too bad, I'd be making real money!

That's what I've got to say too. 💀

Via 50501 Miami:

Tarrio should be in a prison cell, but at least #Miami #Florida knows what to do with him.

Things you will not see in the media:

"So proud! 80 years old, protesting in her own way. My aunt was a Catholic nun for over 40 years and has dedicated her life to teaching and serving the sick and underprivileged in her community. Even with a bad knee, she felt compelled to walk in the drizzly rain by herself carrying the American flag. She told me during her walk that she thought about her younger brother who was a veteran..."

LGBTQ Nation showing the national outlets how to write an accurate headline:

"Police arrest anti-LGBTQ+ pastor suspected of murdering pro-equality Democratic politician"

In a nationwide, decentralized movement with no clear leaders, with protests in every big city, every hamlet, and every rural overpass, it's very hard to get accurate numbers of marchers. But holy shit, at least Alt National Park service makes the effort! Our pathetic legacy media outlets aren't even trying, and I certainly trust a bunch of pissed off park rangers over those lily livers.

Here Alicia Norman speaks for those of us ranting about this.

I mean, the US Army Choir already sang "Do You Hear the People Sing" at the Governors' Ball, with Trump and all 50 governors in attendance. Even soldiers who aren't sufficiently appalled by Trump's hate are still gonna be rightly angry about the destruction of veteran benefits.

And he expects them follow wildly illegal orders to keep him in power. 🤡

For people who live in #MAGA land and lack all sense of self preservation, this store sells parody "Bass Pro Shop" hats.

You probably could wear this in Texas. Everybody who even gets the joke would laugh.
