[edit: I found them. It's @Ceejayevylyn - commission work with them!]
This is the piece of art I commissioned with my birthday money this year!
I'd had the idea of the message you often get in games, "enemies are vulnerable to their opposite elements", with regards to armed resistance, ICE and molotovs... but I have absolutely ZERO artistic skills.
I posted here about it, and was approached by CJ Evelyn who was interested in the idea as well.
Working with them was an absolute breeze! They were helpful and listened to exactly what I wanted, super communicative and absolutely helped me get the idea I wanted out of my aphantasic brain and into a visual artwork.
I'd love to tag them here, but their account got stolen and I can't find the new one - so, CJ.. if you're following me, please reach out so I can tag your account!
This is the watermarked image (I don't want their art stolen, but definitely feel free to repost with watermarks and credit!)
CJ, thank you again.
Everyone else, definitely recommend commissioning revolutionary art and definitely recommend commissioning from CJ.
Also. FUCK ICE and FUCK COPS.

So if you were confused
about what side cops would take
when it comes to ice...
not only are they always
helping ice & all other nazis
they are now starting to wear masks
like their nazi friends.
-
"defund ice"
No. Fuck you.
Remember how
"defund police"
turned out...
SPOILERS
it DIDN'T...if anything they got
MORE funding.
Don't let them water down this shit
& kill actual resistance
like they always do.
Don't let these nazi fucks
dictate what is allowed to change
& how...that will always benefit them further.

People keep trying to make a
false distinction
between ice/dhs/etc
& OTHER "law enforcement"/police.
It's all the same shit.

Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.
Shocked.
_____
Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.
In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.
However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".
Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".
"I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.
Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.
Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.
Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.
Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.

New South Wales prisoners could face some of the harshest penalties in the country for trivial infractions such as “looking untidy” or “eating food in a cell”, as the government flouts advice and attempts to lower the burden of proof for inmate misconduct.
If adopted, the [new] legislation would mean offences committed by inmates while inside prison only need to be proved to the civil standard of the “balance of probabilities”, rather than the current criminal threshold of “beyond reasonable doubt”.
The penalties under the lower standard of proof would remain the same as before for all offences, and can range from a caution to withdrawal of privileges for up to 56 days.
[A] report... released by the ombudsman in August 2024, examined more than 56,000 offences from 2018, finding that one in three charges laid against inmates during disciplinary proceedings were incorrect.

..and...
"Institutions respond with resilience workshops, counselling hotlines and “mental health awareness days,” yet continue to operate through coercion, punishment and control. This ignores the fact that enforcing colonial laws, evicting families, surveilling communities,and using force is inherently traumatising, for both workers and the communities they target. Worse, policing culture actively cultivates trauma. In countries like the U.S. and Israel, “warrior-style” police training primes recruits to view the public as enemies, embedding hypervigilance, fear and aggression from the outset. This type of militarised police conditioning does not just result in trauma, it weaponises it, normalising violence as a professional duty. Policing produces trauma by design. If we accept that trauma and criminalisation are deeply correlated, then justice work must not reproduce trauma, either for communities or those employed to support them.Rather than pouring resources into traumatising roles and then offering superficial wellbeing supports, we should transform the work itself. This means reducing reliance on policing and punishment and building trauma-informed,community-led alternatives: crisis response teams, transformative justice processes, cultural healing spaces and culturally grounded services, especially for Indigenous communities surviving colonial violence and for women impacted by gendered trauma. True practitioner wellbeing is inseparable from community wellbeing. Abolition is not about abandoning safety, it is about redefining it through care, accountability and collective liberation."

I'm enjoying the assessment I'm writing today, because I'm actually being able to give my opinion with my whole entire chest, and not couch it in politeness.
"What I dislike about how the criminal justice system addresses trauma is that it largely does not address it at all. Instead, it punishes the symptoms of structural violence while ignoring the causes. Women are imprisoned for survival crimes, like shoplifting, fraud, drug possession, parole breaches, often directly linked to domestic violence, poverty, or coercion. Indigenous women are imprisoned at exponentially higher rates not because they are more "criminal," but because they live under a racist colonial state that constantly intervenes in their lives through child removal, policing, and incarceration. The system compounds trauma: strip searches, isolation from children, and institutional abuse are all forms of state violence.
What I do appreciate are the emerging discussions around trauma-informed practice, but these reforms remain superficial within a system fundamentally designed to punish and control. Real change cannot come from within the logic of carcerality.
To respond differently, we must reject the assumption that cages create safety. If trauma contributes to criminalisation, then healing, not punishment, must be our response. Communities require investment in housing, mental health care, family support, culturally grounded healing programs, and abolitionist alternatives to policing and prisons. For Indigenous people, this must include self-determination and truth-telling about colonisation. Addressing trauma is not merely therapeutic, it is political. A just society does not criminalise pain; it prevents it."

“Abolition, as a tradition, a philosophy, and a theory of change, moves away from a myopic focus on the prison toward a more expansive vision of the social, political, and economic processes that defined the context within which imprisonment came to be viewed as the legitimate hand of justice. As a “practical organizing tool and long-term goal”, abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment. As illustrated by the history of the prison and the police, reforms sold as “progressive” all too often function to mask expanding mandates, logics, and budget lines. Abolitionist movements require struggles about strategy and vision: what, for example are the “non-reformist reforms” (to use a phrase coined by Marxist theorist Andre Gorz and applied by Thomas Mathiesen in his Politics of Abolition) that make sustainable and material differences in the lives of people living under the control of oppressive systems?”

From the Sisters Inside Facebook page:
When ‘tougher’ checks hurt the wrong people
The women we work with through the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls often face immense barriers to obtaining a WWCC, even when their charges have nothing to do with children. Many who apply have convictions that stem from surviving poverty, violence, homelessness or substance use. These are routinely read by the system not as evidence of structural harm or survival, but as fixed indicators of unsuitability.
Criminalised women — especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women — already face steep hurdles when applying for a clearance after prison. The law treats a decades-old shoplifting charge, a survival response to domestic violence, or even the state-sanctioned removal of one’s own child as permanent red flags. These often result in women being denied a clearance and being issued a prohibition or negative notice.

"[M]ost people don’t know what Pride is about. The anguish, and the hurt, and the reason why Pride started in the first place—it was an anti-cop event. Look, yes—I know there are trans police officers. You have Black people who are police officers, and women police officers. All that’s cute, but guess what: It’s blue first, your other allegiances second. Once you get on that blue, child, it goes straight through to your brain, dyes your brain blue, and you’re no longer whoever the fuck you were before. So no, they don’t need to be there. That’s where their loyalty lies. So stay the fuck away from me."

Out of over 100K searches, they only had 413 positive hits.
This means the expanded powers are:
1. not proportional
2. not effective- they are also actively harmful, but cops don't gaf about causing harm, especially to marginalised peoples.
_____Expanded ‘Jack’s law’ police powers could lead to further ‘surveillance and harassment’ of some Queenslanders, expert warns
LNP moves to allow police to detain and search people with metal detecting wand in any public place and remove sunset clause
"According to police statistics, 83% of the 100,611 people wanded since Jack’s law came into effect were male. Of people with known ethnic origin, 11.8% were Indigenous – despite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people making up only 4.6% of Queensland’s population, according to census figures. A survey of 6,705 people scanned at shopping centres showed that 76% were male, and 55% were younger than 18.
During another year-long trial that ended in June 2024, police laid more charges for drug possession – 1,384 – than for knife offences, of which 413 were recorded."
