A Minneapolis family with six children were reportedly attacked by ICE, who deployed flash-bang grenades and tear gas canisters on their car as the family was driving home from basketball practice. Their 6-month-old son appeared to be “lifeless” for a few minutes after exposure to the tear gas.

Here's the new @nimrodjournal.bsky.social, looking ✨✨✨. It has two poems from MIGHT COULD, including this one. Thanks to editor @bdralyuk.bsky.social, and to @randallmann.bsky.social, judge for the Neruda Prize, for naming this poem second place and for his comments. 💚

NARF has put out a guide for Native Americans dealing with ICE. narf.org/ice-resource...

I had no idea the material conditions in Iran had degraded so badly. As the speaker, Prof Fatemeh Shams explains later, these are explosive, borderline revolutionary conditions, much more serious than previous rounds of mass protest

El ICE ya no deporta: dispara. Minneapolis muestra hasta dónde ha llegado la violencia institucional del trumpismo. Cuando el terror lo ejerce el Estado, el problema no es el “exceso”, es el sistema. Escribe Sebastiaan Faber

“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine.”

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

Trump officials reportedly ordered the removal of “The Scourged Back” (1863), a famous image of a formerly enslaved man, from a national monument in Georgia where the US Army toppled a Confederate garrison during the Civil War.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

For 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, not one Palestinian voice has been featured on NBC, ABC or CNN’s Sunday shows. @ahjohnson.bsky.social writes about how the U.S. media has debated Palestinians’ annihilation without letting a single Palestinian speak. inthesetimes.com/article/gaza...

A student in my publishing course is interested in researching book pulping and book recycling. Do we know any work or introductory material in this area? (Work on remainders, print runs, supply chain, raw materials all relevant, too.)

Translated and edited by Tayseer Abu Odeh and Sherah Bloor and guest edited by Jorie Graham, You Must Live compiles recent work from 30 poets living in Gaza and the West Bank. The challenges of publishing it were immense.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

When we talk about fundraising for people in Gaza it is about survival, it is about getting out of the worst circumstances. We rarely discuss their dreams, hope, for rebuilding? What lives will be lived if the bombs were to stop falling tomorrow? Alaa is asking for support for her future

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Absolutely outrageous to say that a uni’s academic press doesn’t serve its undergraduates. Non-profit university presses support and sustain a scholarly and intellectual system THAT MAKES TEACHING UNDERGRADUATES POSSIBLE. No presses? no fields of study, no professors, no college.

a lot of people don’t realize what a gift it is to receive. just to be receptive to what others have to offer. to what others bring into relation. that too is generosity in action.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

“CBP has never stopped operating its drones on behalf of other federal, state, and local agencies, including ICE,” EFF’s @jenlynch.bsky.social told @404media.co. “In fact, the program has expanded exponentially since EFF first reported on it in 2012.”

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

So if I understand it, the mere words “from the river to the sea” are definitely a call to genocide against Israel, while Israel actively blocking a Palestinian state, building 700K illegal settlements, & committing actual genocide of the Palestinian people is not.🤔 The vile & deadly hypocrisy.

I have been saying this for 3 years now; it is evident from even a theorerical understanding of these systems' operations. But ppl keep claiming it's not true or not important, or could be patched over, & so I keep hoping each time an "AI" company CEO comes out & admits will be the one that sticks

I hope you all stay safe tonight and tomorrow is a better day

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Why is it “if you can't pay rent, buy fewer lattes” and not “if you can't pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts”?

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Whatever the Trump administration may claim, anti-doxxing laws apply to revealing private information publicly, NOT to recording police officers conducting law enforcement activity from a safe distance, EFF’s Sophia Cope told @Bloomberg.com. www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...

ICE reactivated its contract with spyware manufacturer Paragon Solutions. You can read more about it here, but what does that mean for using encrypted chat apps like Signal? 🧵(1/8)

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
