The arc of the moral universe only bends towards justice if we bend it. There's no karmic comeuppance for fascists. There's just us. Community and hard work and a willingness to to take risks and fail.

When I said Mikie Sherrill was in bed with ICE, this is what I meant. She cut a deal, and she owns everything that has happened since.

UPDATE: The GOP reconciliation bill (with $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol) has just been updated with a new $350 million slush fund for the regime to unleash Minneapolis-like violence on "uncooperative" cities. A final vote is expected within days, so call Congress NOW to oppose this bill.

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

Rep. Analilia Mejia was on fire. 🔥 She pressed Markwayne Mullin for answers about medical care and conditions at Delaney Hall. He kept dodging. She kept coming. #SheShed

This is so good and so important.

Private prison staffers “constantly threaten to deport us, transfer us to punishment units, and move us from one detention center to another; they take photos of us in the dormitories without our consent and tell us that we have no rights here.” "We deserve to be free …”

“The conditions in this prison are not fit for human beings over such a long period of time… we are constantly sick.” “We demand freedom, a fair trial, and for our rights to be respected. S.O.S” The fourth letter was signed by 56 people detained at Delaney Hall.

It’s DAY 13 of the hunger strike at Delaney Hall and the strikers have released a new letter: “We deserve to be free and to complete the process at home with our families, given the excessive amount of time we have spent in this prison.” The full fourth letter: www.lahuelga.com/freedom

I sat down with @podsaveamerica.crooked.com to talk about what I saw in Delaney Hall and the lack of due process that's keeping hundreds locked up inside, living through inhumane conditions. Full episode out now.

A plus side for progressives: Hamawy, a doctor who treated people in Gaza, looks likely to win out in #NJ12. He also had the backing of AOC. One asterisk: He largely won because of a split field and none of the other candidates could muster support outside their home base.

hi guys happy #pride

LA voters: if you are dropping off your ballot today take it to a designated ballot box. Don’t drop in the mail. Your vote won’t be postmarked until tomorrow and won’t count, unless you walk it into a post office and ask a worker to stamp it today.

“If the rules don’t let you play in that sport just because of who you are, then you don’t get to play in that sport.” — Xavier Becerra on trans youth participation in sports. Profiles in courage, right here…. Holy hell.

Xavier Becerra, who has taken the maximum direct contribution from Chevron which also pumped $500,000 into his super PAC, would not commit to the state’s goal of banning purchases of new gas and hybrid vehicles starting in 2035:

🧵Are you still on Spotify, despite knowing that they've run ICE ads &/or that they pay artists scandalously little? I was too, despite knowing the latter for years, bc I couldn't begin to figure out how & where to move. Then the ads happened & I finally snapped & figured it out. Here's what I did:

The money was always there for the good things.

People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

"They're not upholding the law." Activists are boycotting Citizens Bank in protest of its financing of private prison companies GEO Group and CoreCivic, which own and operate ICE jails across the country, including New Jersey's Delaney Hall and Texas's Dilley Center.

Close Delaney Hall. Close them ALL. Contact your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to take immediate action to demand dignity for immigrants, and be in solidarity with the people in detention on hunger strike. Senate: indivisible.org/actions/tell... House: indivisible.org/actions/dema...

While mass arrests were being made last night outside of Delaney Hall, the courageous people imprisoned inside continue their strike. The problem isn’t just with Delaney. The entire US concentration camp system is rife with abuse, neglect, and loss of life. They should ALL be shut down immediately.

This is who @schumer.senate.gov marched with in the Israel Day Parade today.

New Jersey State Police push past barricades outside the Delaney Hall Detention Facility

Remember, behind all this police violence are detainees who are starving, denied medical attention, in squalid conditions. What Mikie Sherrill did with her choices was remove all focus from the strikers demands and their human rights, and that alone is despicable.

from @sussexvb.bsky.social: Our allies out in Richardson, Texas & our own message today in Sparta, NJ. We have friends everywhere ✊️ Gov @mikiesherrill.bsky.social got anything to say? 🧐 #spartanj #richardsontx #delaneyhall #newarknj #EyesOnICE

Mikie Sherrill campaigned on "I'm a tough military pilot who isn't afraid of Trump and will stand up to Trump!" The first time she's tested, she works with ICE to beat up her own citizens. And her backers explain "she's working with Trump STRATEGICALLY, because she's scared of Trump." OK, got it.

Scenes from Delaney Hall today, Saturday, May 30. ALL EYES ON DELANEY.

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either

When you see news reports about the pro-ICE protest outside Delaney Hall today, know that it is about 6 people total surrounded by a million cameras with about 75 to 100 anti-ICE demonstrators across the street.

Oh, and one thing I forgot: Geo Group gave protection to MAGA media types behind the Delaney Hall fence while it all went down.

And because I’ve seen some posts suggesting NJ state police “went rogue”: they report to the NJ AG and the NJ AG reports to Sherrill. The NJ AG was next to Sherrill when she announced the deployment of state police. Sherrill ordered an attack against her own constituents. She could have called

were given 15 minutes to clear the mutual aid tent and the medic tent or be arrested. About ten minutes later (not 15), NJ state police began an all out assault on protestors, with horses, flash bangs and gas, while ICE, in a coordinated attack, shot pepper balls at protestors from the roof

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

The concept of “free speech zones” and “first amendment zones” is fucking bonkers. So you mean the full constitution doesn’t apply outside of the little square y’all decided on? And we’re supposed to just comply with that?

I'll comment: she's a fucking liar who ordered an attack on her constituents and is gaslighting the public to justify it.

The Delaney Hall hunger strikers’ number one demand is to meet with Governor Sherrill. She made one attempt to enter, was denied by ICE and never tried again.
