Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that supplied weapons to Israel at a Cornell University job fair in 2024 for all of five minutes. theintercept.com/2026/02/10/g...

Dems are preparing to demand that CBP "stay at the border" as one of their demands to avoid a government shutdown. Based on a multi-year FOIA campaign undertaken in collaboration with the ACLU of Michigan, here is what this means in practice: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

As many as 1500 detainees at the Dilley ICE camp have erupted in protest. Lawyers were kicked out amid chants of: "Let us out! libertad!!" Detainees say ~80% are rebelling, motivated by the news from Minneapolis, the general strike, and the imprisonment of little Liam.

O.R.G.A.N.I.Z.E. And fight.

Feeling helpless? Get involved. From all I'm seeing and hearing from our neighbors in MLPS, these resistance networks didn't spring up overnight; they were built, brick by brick, for years. The best time to get involved was yesterday; the second best time is today. We all have a place in the work

The ICE agent who shot Renee Good was a former Border Patrol agent. And today's murder was committed by a Border Patrol agent. This is violence and impunity that border communities have known all too well for years.

“The wind is rising and the rivers flowing, times are getting hard and we can’t go home again.” -Huey P. Newton, 1970

We’re at this point because it was deemed acceptable for agents to roam “border areas” and have the authority to detain (and abuse and kill) non-U.S. citizens (and citizens) in “border areas.”

Democrats want to impeach Kristi Noem. That is the most milquetoast chickenshit nonresponse. The apple is rotten to the core, and so is the tree it sprouted from. DHS needs to be dismantled, and ICE and Border Patrol abolished.

Join me at University College Dublin on Thursday, November 20th for a talk on "CLR James, Irish Question, and Black Liberation Struggle." Note new day, time, location information.

Immigrant workers, agricultural, cafe and grocery, digital platform, arts and culture, and education workers in Ireland, Germany, England, and the US have been sharing their lives and struggles through workers’ inquiries. Join us in Dublin as we examine these recent inquires!

“We’ve observed the self-defeating character of these policies over and over and over again in Southern Arizona over the last 30 years,” Boyce said.

Plane is out of Ireland and on the way to Djibouti. Probably 6-7 hours from now (6:45 am eastern). *IF* it is a deportation also wondering if they would transfer people to a military plane flying in dark mode as last time to ultimate destination…

✈️👀Journey Air N588AT just landed at Djibouti at 1 PM Eastern and 8 PM local. Mission unknown and if a deportation it is unknown to where, and if it will be this plane, or if people will be transferred to a military plane operating in invisible dark mode like the one to South Sudan.

“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.

Migrants sent to Libya will literally be sold into slavery and systematically tortured, starved and killed. This is so sickening and insane.

"‘Felt externalisation’ is a way to go beyond the policies, the visible, and spectacular and instead capture the everyday, the slow, granular, and felt experience of border externalisation, be it fear, collective trauma, environmental degradation, or the smell of death."

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

“With EU funding, more and more countries are using artificial intelligence (AI) systems, drones, and surveillance towers at their borders” wearesolomon.com/mag/focus-ar...

🧵

In 2018, centrists Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair, and Matteo Renzi said there was a need to crack down on immigrants to keep fascists at bay. Each of their own home countries continued to intensify border enforcement and yet this did not deter the far right. It empowered them. Lesson learned?

La Indita is a staple in the Tucson community. They are being targeted because of their political support for various projects and organizations in Tucson and in Mexico. Please show them all the love you are able. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

“Border imperialism explains one of the key mechanisms through which unequal exchange and wealth drain from the periphery is secured, and racialised hierarchy in the international system – what W.E.B du Bois referred to as the ‘global color line’, is upheld.” www.tni.org/en/borderimp...

A lot of people ask me whether it feels better to live in Europe than the US right now. It does not.

Biden was monstrous and aweful in a lot of ways. But this is one good thing he did. thehill.com/policy/energ...

And as Title 42 expulsions increased, deaths (in Arizona) also increased by 48%, disproportionately affecting Mexican and Guatemalan nationals doi.org/10.1177/2331...

Back in Ireland.

"Researchers like Geoff Boyce... have published work that shows how some surveillance towers, and other border and surveillance infrastructure, create a funneling effect that corrals and drives migrants to some of the most remote and harsh desert landscapes, sometimes resulting in their deaths."

Quoted today in the VT Digger, where they mentioned Sam, Sarah’s and my research on border surveillance towers:

Quoted in today's Arizona Daily Star: "Using a sports metaphor, Boyce said mass deportation can be understood as an 'own goal,' that is, 'our own government sabotaging the health and well-being of the people it is supposed to serve and represent.'” #massdeportation #organize #resist
