Stop Posting ICE Rumors

STOP Posting ICE Rumors...

I got into it again this week, and like I tell people, its not personal, but posting ICE rumors is bad. Mostly cause 99.9% of them are fake, but even in the event you somehow managed to crack the inner workings of one of the most secretive agencies... it won't prevent them from coming and doing their dirty work.

It is well documented why you should not post these rumors, I mean just ask google or ChatGPT, "why you shouldn't post ice rumors", it will tell you clearly why it is bad (image attached).

So, for those of you, and its been several, who got offended when I commented on your post that it is bad to post ICE rumors, and kindly asked you to take them down... and you got upset. My comment started out polite, you interpreting it as an insult, might be because you actually didn't have good intent, then it became an insult.

I have mentioned this to lots of people, who were like, oh I didn't know, and took it down right away. THANKS! You rock. If you have other friends who post stuff, you could comment my blog link so they know its not good to post (and explains why).

I have mentioned it to people, whose motives I then have to question, who were like, naw I want to keep to it up. So for you I assume you,

A.) want to look important, "look I think I know what ICE is doing",

B.) want us to think, "hey look I care about immigrants", but you really don't, cause posting ICE rumors is bad,

C.) maybe you just thought, "hey I think likes and shares are more important than people's safety so I am keeping this up."

Anyhow... hopefully this helps others advocate for helping stop ice rumors. Also, great time to give the reminder that groups like National Immigrant Justice Center (I posted their KYR recently) and La Casa de Amistad have great resources on how you should prepare for what unfortunately is inevitable these days... If you aren't in South Bend, holler and I can help you find good local groups to you doing similar work.

Let's stop stirring fear, lets be ready, and lets fight for our friends and neighbors.
