July 13 will make 6 years since Willem Van Spronsen sacrificed his life to take action against ICE. He was killed while attempting to disable the buses serving a private detention facility imprisoning immigrants. He knew what the consequences would be. From the vantage point of 2025, we can see that he correctly identified ICE as representing the forefront of both totalitarianism and ethnic cleansing. Take a moment to read his final statement.

ICE is attacking immigrants for now, but their goal is to subjugate all of us. Fighting for our neighbors today is a way of fighting for ourselves tomorrow. Map the infrastructure that ICE depends on. Publicize their vulnerabilities. Popularize simple, reproducible ways to impose consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community. Don't just react to their attacks—choose the time and place of confrontations. Take the initiative.

"If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own—which it is—and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night." -James Baldwin, writing to Angela Davis while she was in captivity, November 19, 1970 image
Are you in Atlanta? Don't miss this free punk show at the Fulton County Courthouse at 8 am on July 7—part of a rally supporting Ayla King at their first day of trial on RICO charges. On Ayla's first visit to Atlanta, police snatched them at random out of a crowd of hundreds at a music festival. Ayla was charged with domestic terrorism on account of an act of sabotage that happened almost a mile away while the music festival was in progress, and later charged with violating the RICO act. These charges constitute judicial harrassment aimed at intimidating an entire movement. The prosecutors are not just despicable and dishonest—they are intent on eroding everyone's freedom to protest. Solidarity with Ayla King.
