Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

Protesters gathered in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center and Edward R. Roybal Federal Building on N. Almere St. on the one year anniversary of the Ambiance Apparel raid by federal immigration agents. Over 100 protesters gathered and were met by federal agents.

After Fulton County commissioners rejected a $2B mega-jail, organizers had little time to celebrate. A new proposal soon appeared: an 1,800-bed “special purpose facility” for people with mental health conditions. @octoberk.bsky.social, @priscillagrim.bsky.social and @micahh.bsky.social report.

The library systems' boards of trustees in NYC need to change. The majority of people on these appointed bodies need to be actual patrons and former library workers.

Discovery of the nazi tattoos should have been his end.

I thought I was being unkind when I assumed that guy had gotten a ghostwriter. Turns out I was 1000% correct, and he revealed himself, even with a ghostwriter, to be a terrible human.

Again for the folks in the back: protests work.

A jail feasibility study asked two questions: Do we need a new jail? How big should it be? @octoberk.bsky.social, @priscillagrim.bsky.social, and @micahh.bsky.social report that the possibility of Georgia's Fulton County not needing more beds barely entered the planning for a mega-jail.

The rap world was stunned when Trevell Coleman, known as G. Dep, walked into a Harlem police precinct and confessed to a cold-case homicide. But @mauricechammah.bsky.social called Coleman to ask about a lesser-known part of his story: the album he released from prison, rapping over a phone line.

- NJSP’s use of teargas has been like a flame for moths that are live streamers or far-right propagandists. It is astonishing how agitated they’ve managed to make their followers in such a short period of time by posting videos of nothing happening alongside alarmist text.

What is an "outside agitator"? An outside agitator is anyone who tries to stop mercenaries from terrorizing people. An outside agitator is anyone who interferes with politicians' attempts to suppress protest. An outside agitator is anyone who acts in solidarity. crimethinc.com/texts/agitat...

- NJ gov, Newark mayor, and NJ AG all ran different statements with key rhetorically deceptive claims offered to essentially justify extremely PD violence. Sherrill: Outside agitators Baraka: Weapons on arrested protestors AG: Protestors “throwing projectiles” & started the confrontation All bs

Update from Delaney Hall: - NJSP continue making the situation needlessly volatile. They have not communicated to protestors. Ex: Last night when they pushed everyone a block away, at no point did they say they were institution a 600ft buffer zone in accordance with the governor’s agreement w/ICE.

One of the best-known grocery stores in NYC has voted to boycott Israeli products, after years of internal debate over Palestine solidarity Established in 1973, the Park Slope Food Coop is one of the oldest and largest active food co-ops in the US, and has a history of political action.

Please, Medicare for all, please grow into a thing. My left leg hurts more and more every day. Today, while sitting, the pain spread from my knee to my ankle, and now I'm on a balance board, mainly standing on my right leg, until the left leg (hopefully) calms down. #prayers

The first step to a future, led by the people and for the people, is abolishing ICE.

"A class that relies solely on the state's bayonet to maintain its rule is never secure." - Michael Parenti

Before being tapped to serve as acting director of ICE, David Venturella oversaw contracts for detention centers at GEO Group. It could not be clearer: what Trump calls "the largest deportation program in the history of America” is calculated to enrich his allies in the private prison industry.

Car selfie videos encapsulate everything wrong in the USA presently.

Latest from me: The right is rapidly abandoning its previous commitment to Christian Zionism, replacing it with a conspiratorial and nativist nationalism that has little need for the "Judeo-Christian" Cold War coalition. This doesn't mean the wars will end. newlinesmag.com/argument/the...

A coalition of labor unions and activist groups known as 'May Day Strong' are planning a series of protests across the U.S on Friday demanding the abolition of ICE, higher taxes on the rich and financial relief for the poor. unicornriot.ninja/2026/may-day...

Atlantic City is visual diabetes around every corner until you hit the beach. Then, quiet.

New client is bringing me to Atlantic City this week to both work and SEE HIS DENTIST. If you employ underinsured freelancers, this is a great perk to offer. Though I do not drink or gamble, I will enjoy being on a beach with an ocean view for a few days, even if it is cloudy.
