Within hours of the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, Israel closed the crossings into Gaza, sending residents into a panic about the possibility of a renewed siege. Here, Hassan Herzallah reports on how a rocket falling in Iran reverberates in Gaza. https://bit.ly/4sEjw5I

Freedom for Immigrants is launching an interactive map designed to help families locate detained loved ones, find legal and community resources, and better understand the expanding U.S. immigration detention system.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Stop it! Now these are stuck in my head.

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

I wrote about the US funneling pregnant children in immigrant detention to a Texas facility where their rights can be more effectively restricted. I hear echoes of disappeared parents and kidnapped children in Argentina decades ago. In each case, the intent is to inflict deep generational trauma.

New: Immigrants in MN are being released from detention without their IDs, work permits, social security cards, and other key documents that prove their status to begin with www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

NBC News: American Priorities, a new progressive PAC formed to counter pro-Israel groups, is "considering getting involved in other brewing contests" including #IL09 and #IL08 They've spent cash two races so far

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Hi, bsky. Working on a story about how federal immigration arrests have carried on in and around Chicago even without Cmdr. Bovino and CBP roving around here. If you have been involved in an arrest — as a bystander, protester, community support worker etc — I would love to talk to you. Email in bio.

Today, Israeli occupation soldiers abducted a Palestinian farmer while he was plowing his land in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron.

Wow.

“They want our daughters and granddaughters to have zero information about their bodies and sex, no ability to protect themselves from pregnancy, limited choices for an intellectual and professional life, and—once our girls have been corralled into early marriages—few opportunities to leave.”

MN is still under siege.

San Antonio, Texas: NBC Report Alleges ICE Staff Mocked Migrant Children with Fake Thanksgiving Feast and Served Spoiled Food

ICEBREAKER begins in half an hour!

Time to tap the sign.

The Republican-controlled US House is set to pass a sweeping voter restriction bill that could potentially disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Sharing. Amplifying. My niece lives less than a mile from where Alex Pretti was shot down. Every day requires her to navigate a violent, above-the-law military force. In Minneapolis.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Found a book.. "No Mate for the Magpie" by Frances Molloy, an Irish writer who worked in a pyjama factory and was briefly a nun. Anybody read it?

What an idiot Trump is.

Fucking witch-hunt ass "I saw Goody Ramirez speaking to the devil!" ass bullshit.

If people are finding out as a late as now how Trumpism is wannabe fascism, they should be accepted in a big pro-democracy, pro-pluralism, pro-equality tent. Their belated dissent is welcome. Democracy is in danger and this is not the time for the usual holier-than-thou approach!

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

“He’s a good guy! Why are you doing this?” Trump’s goons grab people working at a church food bank in California (H/T @iamdaymadison.bsky.social )

Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero! Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough. And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today is the 82nd birthday of Dr. Angela Y. Davis. To celebrate her life and work, we’re proud to share an excerpt from our 2005 pamphlet “Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture,” an extended set of interviews with Dr. Davis conducted by the late philosopher Dr. Eduardo Mendieta.

Armored Vehicle Attempting to Drive Through a Crowd of Protesters Minnesota 1/24/26

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Today is a perfect day for ordering surprise books in the post! You know you want to... #BookSky
