Glad the @nytimes.com finally recognized Tina Modotti by running an obituary of this immigrant activist and artist. I—along with others—have been submitting her to their “Overlooked No More” series I’d love to know how they ultimately decided to run one www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

As Trump ramps up mass arrests, Miami’s Krome detention center is dangerously overcrowded—nearly 3x capacity—with rising abuse complaints, unsanitary conditions, and multiple deaths. DHS shut down oversight. Detainees say: “We are practically kidnapped.” apnews.com/article/immi...

“Thousands of people — especially Haitians, Cubans and Venezuelans — instantly shift from ‘lawfully present’ to ‘deportable.’” "It’s chaotic and unnecessary." TLDR: Trump is turning legal immigrants illegal. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/u...

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

In rural New York, immigrant laborers are now in hiding. Some have been briefly detained and then released, while others with legal papers languish in custody, leaving many confused about who is being forced out of the country and who gets to remain.

That was a fun interview!!

Not really feeling the Bluesky love ! Hard to get in to this !

Favorite film noir. If you don't want to watch for the great story, watch for Gene Tierney being absolutely radiant.

Rümeysa Öztürk, Tufts student held by Ice, released from Louisiana jail

Hey @josephsciorra.bsky.social - we certainly didn’t see this coming 👀💀

Victory for Rümeysa Öztürk at the Second Circuit! She will now be transferred to Vermont ahead of a hearing which will decide whether she must be released from ICE detention while she goes through the immigration court process.

In order to build the mass deportation machine you must first build the police state.

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

Happy May Day!!

how can we counter the "news" that this administration puts out? here they are basically listing all their very own human rights violations and spinning it as fighting terrorism

Further Militarizing the border…. more xenophobic acts www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great news! The Trump administration has been ordered to reinstate a contract which insured that children won’t have to face deportation without the assistance of a lawyer; something that has been happening more often in immigration courts around the country over the last month.

A Palestinian student at Columbia University went into a Vermont immigration office hoping to begin the final step to becoming a US citizen. But instead of having an interview, Mohsen Mahdawi – who’s been in the United States for a decade – was taken away in handcuffs.

The Alien Enemies Act was last used to imprison Japanese, German, and Italian immigrants during WWII. Now, Trump is using it to deport people without due process. Read my op-ed with former Rep. Mike Honda on why we must repeal this law for good. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
