A good friend’s home just had a catastrophic fire. If you can spare anything at all, even with everything going on around us, it would really help some wonderful folx (including two small kids and a cat) www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

The only acceptable number of children for any government to kidnap and traffic and cage is zero, every year

Our members are getting ready to advocate for the rights of ALL New Yorkers tomorrow in Albany. 🤳Follow along here and on our instagram: @maketheroadny!

This is also a result of Trump's monstrous racism. bsky.app/profile/prop...

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Kendrick set a bar Bad Bunny understood the assignment and ran with the baton Every artist afterwards have to match them

It’s forever called the Super Tazón now

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

They built a cane field in the football field!? Seamless transitions. Lit music, choreo, instrumentation, storytelling, costumes. This is straight cinematic without compromsing the music an iota

Best halftime show set and opening ever. Hands down. Not even any competition

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Writer's parents own 200 units in the city and have racked up many, many violations.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

If you want to explore whether a company you buy from works with DHS/ICE, there is a real simple website to do that! www.usaspending.gov/search

Abolish ICE and DHS. Shut it all down.

The fact that AI boosters always go to “but art is EXPENSIVE” is telling. Most people started with crayons, lined school paper, cheap pencils, ballpoint pen, the back of junk mail and misprinted pages. Art supplies can be outrageous but you can make art with literal trash

It's been 150 days of Kavanaugh stops in America, and it just keeps getting worse, so I checked in with the justice to ask him if he's had second thoughts. My request for comment did not elicit a response. The third in a once-every-50-days Law Dork series:

"It was never about adjudicating [Judge James] Boasberg’s behavior; it was about making splashy headlines and fueling right-wing attacks on the judiciary without regard to whether DOJ’s specious charges would withstand meaningful scrutiny."

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I am running for State Senate. Join me: forms.gle/Q151nPYHfiYg...

Guatemalans in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood are supporting each other amid fears of continuing ICE raids.

In midtown, striking nurses are marching on Kathy Hochul’s office, calling out an emergency order she signed allowing traveling nurses to work in NY during the strike. They say that move has prolonged the strike and is a handout to the hospital system.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

I dealt w the Gaza Ministry of Health (often dismissively called Hamas MOH in press) many times & they were literally the same as pub health ppl everywhere on earth: professional, calm, compassionate & methodically accurate. In the US, S Africa, Uganda, Greece, Gaza, pub health folx are the same!

I keep thinking about the first time I got gassed by the police, in the 90s, in a nonviolent group that included clergy, protesting against the KKK. I keep thinking about the dozen or so minors the US has executed since then. Brutality against protesters & children is not new, it’s just escalated

THREAD. ICE is in the news, and rightly so, but a lot of the commentary fails to see how the underlying surveillance tech, militarization, infrastructure, policies/practices/training, and corporate profiteers are shared by other domestic agencies and repressive bureaucracies in other countries.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

today is my birthday. here are two orgs supporting Haitian communities. feel free to donate on my behalf. — G92 Springfield Funds go directly to Haitian Families in need. ccspringfieldoh.churchcenter.com/giving — The Haitian Support Center (Emergency fund) haitiansupportcenter.org

“There was a line of children waiting to get treated by medics.” ICE did this. Trump did this. Republicans did this. “Centrist” Democrats who have caved on anti-immigrant bullshit for years did this. Abolish ICE. That’s the minimum.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hochul's announcement yesterday on immigration is another half-measure: It wouldn't stop local cooperation with ICE; it'd prevent local governments only from being *paid* by ICE. Local govs can still help ICE sow terror for free. Is this really acceptable to the people of New York State?

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

We know CBS is a fully-captured fascist propaganda mill, but I’m still caught on how Stanford manages to be a “respected institution” while being home to a racist phrenologist (I know, I know, Standford is kind of the vanguard of eugenics, but still)

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.

Morning Spew for Night Owls—Supportive housing, continued outreach, reiterating existing Code Blue protocols—the next few weeks are going to be cold. What can the Mamdani administration do, and what is it doing now, to keep more people from dying outside?

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...

This is a great action to take _and_ the text service only calls one of your senators, so it's a good idea to clock the script they've got and call your other senator directly. We must abolish ICE yesterday, but today is second-best

We get it. Calling your Senator can feel intimidating. But we got you.

The Senate could vote on sending more money to ICE as soon as TODAY. Tell your senators to oppose ANY funding for ICE right now: innmvmt.org/jewsagainstice

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

Check out this reporting by @nyc.streetsblog.org not only about how delivery workers are safe cyclists, but what a difference good design makes in road safety. Let’s make sure we talk w our racist neighbors who stay going off about delivery workers on e-bikes www.reddit.com/r/NYCbike/s/...

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
