Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border Join @harshawalia.bsky.social, @silkys13.bsky.social, & @reallandsend.bsky.social of @deathpanel.bsky.social for a discussion on the brutal enforcement of immigration policing in Minneapolis and beyond. Thursday at 7 PM ET events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...

Please take the time to read what the children detained in Dilley wrote me in their own words: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... 10/

this episode with @nhold.bsky.social on @deathpanel.bsky.social is really animating

My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

In our latest, we speak with Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Craig Gilmore about the rapid escalation of police forces and carceral logics on US streets and why abolition is the only way www.patreon.com/posts/149118...

In today’s episode, @nhold.bsky.social returns to discuss how deportation is unjustifiable state violence no matter one’s immigration status or citizenship, and how that violence is naturalized when demands are framed around who or what is “legal” on.soundcloud.com/HjCstFKypwOY...

"When you stand on the law, you're standing on something that's not yours." -- @nhold.bsky.social

Really reflecting on "dream of spring" as a reminder that a post-ICE world has existed long before this winter, and will exist again

The massive growth of deportation infrastructure has been uneven & inadequate to meet the administration's goals. The bottlenecks of not enough ICE lawyers in MN (see article below) is partly solved by denying detainees the right to appeal (see 2nd article below). 1/

Hence the value of thinking about HOW systems of oppression work, where their weak points are, where we might intervene, especially to disrupt or destroy any pieces key to its operation, and prevent new facilities, staffing or policies that will increase its capacity. 5/5

"Industrial" in "Prison-Industrial Complex" refers to an assembly line of incarceration that could handle the massive increase in cases. Growth of the system depended on not just more spending. Overcharging & oversentencing led to plea deals freeing up court time, greasing the wheels. 4/

A number of abolitionists have worked for years to successfully close a number of jails and prisons in the US. Too bad *reformers* have nothing to learn from them especially in this moment.

I tried to go to my favorite cafe with my kid this morning, but we had to turn around because the cops were tearing this down and I didn’t trust them not to teargas everyone. Truly, you cannot spell police without ICE! We keep each other safe.

This is incredibly awful, heartbreaking stuff. I also think it's very important that the response to this be long lasting. Our response to conditions worsening for immigrants under Trump should be to raise our standards for today and in perpetuity.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

Death Panel continues to be essential listening during these unprecedented times. Don’t let the law set the horizon of your political imagination.

You notice how with elections liberals describe the left as simultaneously all-powerful and singularly decisive to the outcome, while also being pathetic idiots who don't understand the first thing about how the world actually works? That remind you of how anyone else describes another group of ppl?

Their argument is: rich white people are allowed to do whatever they want, and that includes pedo islands or rounding up the rest in camps. There is no contradiction, no hypocrisy, no argument that will sway them. The ideology is: power is moral

Appreciate that folks lift up the Panthers. Black groups pre-dating the Panthers were also doing community patrols. See one example here: nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaah... Joshua Clark Davis's Police Against the Movement offers some other examples too.

We're all we've got. Best to spend time figuring out how to live into this truth.

Since there's been some conversation about historical analogies for the present stuff with ICE, I figured I'd share this. In it I argue the similarity between (opposition to) border enforcement and (the effort to abolish) slavery. buttondown.com/nateholdren/...

so I spend up to 80% of the time I work on a story on research and reporting, which you don’t see but get evidence of in the published story—which is not unlike the ratio of political education, relationship building, and planning to the action you see that I’ve seen in organizing and movement work

Re-upping this episode today because it feels so resonant in a time of profound state violence against children and for anyone currently choosing how to talk to young people in their life about abolition

Yes!! Six Palestine Action activists, Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin, have been cleared of all charges over a break-in at Elbit. Free the Filton 24! Shut down Elbit! Lift the ban on Pal Action! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We've paid 32 families rent today. Thank you to the random one of you who paid like half of those.

My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.

One in Schulykill too, two concentration camps right outside Philadelphia

From Health Communism: “The worker/surplus binary solidifies the idea that our lives under capitalism revolve around our work. Our selves, our worthiness, our entire being and right to live revolve around making our labor power available to the ruling class. …

We've paid 12 families rents in less than two hours. I will keep taking signal requests for people that want to do this because it's the first thing that is working pretty seamlessly.

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Every single Minnesotan I know risks death for doing an incredibly normal and legal thing, we do not tell our children this, we just keep doing it

can’t not hear and see:

Fighting fascism requires a realistic analysis of power and force. The right-wing shouldn't feel they can reward their killers and motivate others to kill for them without any consequences. I wrote about the importance of unrelenting actions for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2026/02/04/f...

Become ungovernable

there was a campaign in early 2020 called “free them all for public health” that demand hasn’t stopped being necessary and it is only more so now

It’s like you’re almost there, but the correct answer is “abolish ICE and let everyone go” not increase funding to DHS via the carceral medical industrial complex. @victorialaw.bsky.social’s ground breaking book Corridors of Contagion should be required reading

heartbreaking to see public health people people get as far as “ICE detention is a driver of disease” only to call for increased funding for ICE medical services not “free them all for public health”

i had imposter syndrome trying to talk about fascism alongside Alberto Toscano, but i'm glad i did coz it was an incredibly generative conversation that helped distill & crystallize my own thoughts about fascism worldwide today & it's differentiations from the past. www.tni.org/en/article/l...

“The state keeps killing us to instill a warning & then shows us videos of its agents doing it.” Police killings are warnings that say, “You will be next if you don’t stay in your place,” wrote @williamcson.bsky.social. To disrupt the state's monopoly on violence, we must abolish the police.

How much you love your kid? That’s how much the mother in detention loves hers. How much the mother in Palestine loves hers. Just because you can’t imagine the unimaginable- their separation; death- doesn’t mean so many in the world are not enduring it.

today is the last day i will ask you to donate to people’s rent this month. we are trying very hard to meet a $30,000 goal today to help the last few families on our list before their rent grace period ends.

what rules about being in Minneapolis for real is that we simply do whatever we want and can largely ignore you-know-who

Diversity of tactics

I should not have to say this but if you are a legal observer your job is not to go snitch on any and all illegal things. Your job is SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to record law enforcement brutality, illegality, and overreach. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT to snitch on protests you find too spicy.
