Keep going, heroes. We are going to #AbolishICE

Markwayne Mullin appears to be scaling back the visibility of ICE agents in enforcement, saying he’d “love to see” ICE spend more time doing “transport” and less on the “front line.” One way to do that is by paying local police to take on more of the investigations and arrests of immigrants.

My take is that people don't have money anymore. Jobs that used to make decent money no longer do so. Healthcare and rent are unaffordable. Everything costs way too much.

We are so proud of us. Fighting fascism. Every day in every way. #abolishICE

Yikes. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/u...

My first book event is tomorrow! Girls, im nervous! You can order it thru Firestorm tho, and that would be really nice! firestorm.coop/products/230...

Almost 6 million people are supervised by the nation’s vast network of prisons, jails, probation, and parole. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have the highest imprisonment rates in the country. New report by @sentencingproject.bsky.social: www.sentencingproject.org/reports/mass...

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

This exploitation keeps prisons running — while also obscuring the true costs of mass incarceration. Learn more 👇

Labor behind bars is usually mandatory, and workers earn just pennies per hour. Nationwide, incarcerated people earn between $0.86 and $3.45 PER DAY for most prison jobs. And in some states, they earn nothing for their work.

Wait until you hear how much incarcerated people make.

“The importance of an abolitionist education is to break apart what we call hegemony, a common sense understanding of how the world works.” Philadelphia’s Abolition School taps the ‘radical potential’ of political education, @adryancore.bsky.social reports.

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it. This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.

I'm on Reddit answering questions about living under state repression and criminalized protest!

Help keep this fabulous publication going, my friends.

STUNNING: Trump is now bragging about agreeing to use Iran’s 10-point peace framework as the basis for negotiations. Here’s what that 10-point framework includes. There’s no other way to spin this—it’s complete and utter capitulation.

Disrupt the ICE kidnapping, detention, and deportation machine.

Today, in one journey to fight capitalism.

I wrote about media rushing to turn Iran potentially capturing an American POW—who was bombing their country—as a “escalation” by Iran and Iran taking “hostages”, and the broader default setting of western media that turns everything our enemies do, no matter how defensive, into Sinister Terrorism

With voters increasingly alienated from U.S. support for Israel, Democrats with national profiles are playing catch-up to their base, who are now making demands that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

No money for day care, Medicare, Medicaid, or student debt. But we can insure private companies for shipping oil through a war zone Trump created.

Two guys talking about fertility rates on a podcast together? Oh yeah of course. Oh and they determined the problem is that women have too much access to education and professional opportunities? Wow who could have seen that coming

After being wrongfully deported without due process, our client "Daniel" is finally home. Daniel has a developmental disability and was deported less than 10 days after his arrest during the L.A. raids. ImmDef and pro bono partners fought to bring him back & today he’s reunited with his family!

"The KKK Memorial Park is staffed by slave labor" is the most Georgia headline of all time

In this the master organizer and strategist @stephenlerner.bsky.social and I argue that the deepening crisis we face also offers an opportunity -- if we seize it -- to not only turn back encroaching authoritarianism, but to build a stronger and larger-visioned union movement.

Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the police killing of Tortuguita. Their mom, Belkis Terán, is suing for justice in the state-sanctioned murder of her child. She’s met her goal but APD and the state of Atlanta are going to bleed her dry. Please donate: gogetfunding.com/tortuguita-h...

You can also donate directly to her via Venmo and Zelle.

Viva Tortuguita.

Every so often, one of the most infamously abusive men in the American labor movement gets one of his shitty blog posts picked up and the whisper network gets called back into service. Do not engage with Payday Report.

There’s always enough money for wars, for ICE, for billionaires. Just not for you.

noooo dont do that iran noooo not our precious shadowy tech companies nooo

One more way data centers make life miserable for their neighbors: a new study shows they can create "heat islands" that raise nearby surface temps by up to 16 degrees. The effect extends 6+ miles from the data centers themselves. www.benton.org/headlines/ai...

“I would look at the photos of infants who had passed away & try to feel what motherhood is like, wondering whether this was my child.” Sundus Al-Kurd was separated from her daughter Bisan, who was evacuated to Egypt. Yesterday, 11 toddlers reunited with their families in Gaza, reports Ohood Nassar.

The path forward post-Chiles is for states to enact private rights of action for survivors of conversion therapy. Chill the ability for conversion therapists to practice by making it financially unviable due to legal liability.

"The feeling of foreign powers determining their nation’s future became a central memory in Iranian political identity." Rebecca Kay Bright on how America’s history with Iran has already shaped ordinary lives.

Women's History Month may be coming to an end, but the U.S.' rampant criminalization and incarceration of women is unfortunately far from over and remains a crisis. Women can't get left behind in the fight to end mass incarceration.

I’m going to vomit. We’re being held hostage by these psychos

If we had a functioning rule of law, private equity’s self-created losses would be crammed onto their own balance sheets. As it is, the Trump administration is enthusiastically aiding the industry’s efforts to use other people’s money to pay for their mistakes.

Let’s give credit where credit is due. Anyone who argues that Zionism is racism owes a profound debt to the Israeli right, which works furiously to provide such critics with a constant stream of talking points. buff.ly/ZMSQ0S4

I'm sure you all haven't forgotten that @mayor.nyc.gov broke his promise on funding our public libraries at 0.5% of the city expense budget and has remained mum on this fact. New Yorkers call for him to stick to his promise.

Dem Senate candidate @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social has gone viral depicting herself as a leader of anti-surveillance-pricing legislation that she’s refused to back in the state senate that she currently leads. The episode shows how influencer candidates can use the attention economy to deceive.

WATCH — Hasan Piker talks to @donie.bsky.social about the attacks against him: “It’s a heinous smear. I’ve spent my career combatting antisemitism — I just also happen to be an avowed anti-Zionist… Are there critics of 🇮🇱 that are antisemitic? Absolutely. I’m not one of them.“
