It’s very hard to explain how bad things are in Minneapolis and greater Minnesota right now.

I was so glad to talk to @mskellymhayes.bsky.social about the overlapping aspects of different kinds of detention in the US right now, the ways that the current administration is expanding and weaponizing the tools it inherited, and what we can do to put a stop to the camps.

Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition wasn’t just a campaign—it was a blueprint for beating the authoritarian Right: multiracial, working-class unity, organized locally + nationally, built to outlast one election.

I will be speaking about civil rights lawyering, propaganda, and authoritarianism tonight at SUNY Oswego and tomorrow at Syracuse law school at lunchtime. If you or any friends/family are in the area please join us.

The cruelty is unending.

9 defendants will proceed to federal trial next week in a case that stems from a July 4, 2025 noise demonstration in support of detained immigrants at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. jury selection starts February 17

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The case of Nancy Guthrie proves the cops can't solve anything unless people confess. Her poor family.

I'm going to start saying this now, instead of "Abolish ICE"

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

The most shocking thing about the conditions inside ICE detention camps is that everything people are reporting and experiencing happens every day in jails across the United States. Everything.

Valentine’s Day is close—what if we loved like comrades? In September last year, @deanspade.bsky.social joined @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social to talk “romance myths,” abundance, and building power and care in our relationships. inthesetimes.com/article/love...

Just give that money to people directly, and the outcomes would be so much better. Hand over the money to the people, no infrastructure needed, material conditions would improve.

omg yall -- I have a hearing on my motions to dismiss the DT -- ON MY BIRTHDAY - MARCH 6

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

No sympathy for a team whose owners let ICE use the team jet to deport people to concentration camps.

“ICE messed with the wrong profession.” National Nurses United is honoring ICU nurse Alex Pretti after his killing by federal agents—and joining calls to abolish ICE. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reports on-the-ground from the D.C. vigil.

My lawyer, Xavier T. de Janon, of the People's Law Collective, and I hope that February will be the day in court. One month before the 3-year mark of my arrest. The state of Georgia can delay prosecution for up to 5 years after my 2023 arrest, at which point the charge is automatically dropped.

omfg - how bad are nurses in prisons? Check out the latest question from their subreddit.

Crisis pregnancy centers are a dangerous scam and should be both publicly mocked and shut down. Presenting a recorded mocking, made during a road trip with comrades to New Orleans years ago.

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

What is with the fascination of "shoes off" art events in NYC?

Thanks to #betabagels for bringing great info about city data needs for community boards, including this horrifying database of all the crashes in NYC. crashmapper.org We need to decrease the number of cars in the city by a lot... a lot, a lot.

[New Feature] ICE Out Everywhere! January 30 National Day Of Action

ICE has violated over 90 court orders and the US government hasn't honored a single treaty with first nations peoples. All our grievances are connected.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

The Nazis are here.

In December, the US government paid tens of millions of dollars to private mercenaries (called "small businesses") to hunt people. Things are about to get a lot worse. #iceoutofourcommunities #iceout #AbolishICE #blacklivesmatter #occupywallstreet

ICE will be abolished.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Oh no, Senator. We DO NOT need to give ICE funding to local police and "law enforcement."

And now they want to make polio vaccines optional.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

A grassroots network of mutual aid volunteers called Safe Haven has been doing nearly round-the-clock jail support for everyone released from detainment at Whipple, the federal building ICE operates from. They provide medics, rides, food, clothes, phones—anything people need after being released.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

Despite asserting their rights to a speedy trial, people held at SF jail for 11-13 years brokeassstuart.com/p/arrested-n...

My latest for @boltsmag.org examines efforts to pass the MA Survivors Act, allowing abuse survivors to petition for resentencing (& release) or avoid lengthy/life prison sentences: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

I am trying to understand the pendejos working for ICE.
