One of the most chilling things about this story is that some did not even know it was ICE. They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter. Think on that for a minute.

Last week, our book was released in paperback. Two yrs ago, its publication led to some of my most meaningful conversations, joyful events, + difficult debates about how we live with, and especially, against Big Tech. The DSA-sponsored Walking Tour of Big Tech and Capitalism was impossible to top. 🧵

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

Four cars filled with ICE masked agents accosted a driver across the street from Jackson Reed High school, claiming a traffic stop but there was no traffic violation. Observers taping and asking questions loudly likely is why ICE left. Principal says if not on school property, nothing he will do.

Add Cincinnati to the rapidly expanding list of cities where homeless students sleep in parking lots because their families can't afford a place to live. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

The neo-Nazi ICE goons that @mayorbowser.dc.gov collaborates with are targeting the DC Bilingual elementary school. This morning, they conducted their third abduction during school drop off time in front of the children #bigballsgoonshow

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

"More than 50 college professors have been fired or disciplined for comments about Kirk, according to the American Association of University Professors." Almost certainly an undercount. We are already approaching McCarthy numbers

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

“We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close.”

A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square.

@washingtonpost.com is having a Maoist style cultural revolution. Get rid of people w/ experience & seniority to push back & replace them w/ Will Lewis' London buddies & young people who don't know how newspapers should work & don't want to lose their 1st big gig. The result? A compliant newsroom.

Announcing a good ol’ fashioned Teach-In in Washington, DC on Sunday, October 26th. We’ll convene for a series of lectures, stories, and conversations to celebrate and stand up for the work of history and museums. Shoutout to @natedimeo.bsky.social for bringing this idea to us. See you in DC!

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The Third Reich had an agency called the Reichskulturkammer, "Reich Culture Chamber". All singers, writers, musicians, journalists, and actors had to apply for membership and were ideologically vetted. Expulsion or failure to gain admission resulted in an occupational ban. Jews were not admitted.

🚨ICE Alert 🚨ICE has been spotted at the intersection of 14th St NW and Missouri, with various arrests since this morning. Please avoid the area if possible.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Congress caused a judicial vacancy crisis in DC by repeatedly failing to confirm judges for DC courts. Instead of fixing it, today it will vote on a bill to eliminate the little say DC gets on selecting the judges in our local courts. The bill would let President Trump handpick DC judges instead.

“The future is not inevitable. There are a lot of choices that people can make along the road.” So good to see @mishal-khan.bsky.social of @ucblaborcenter.bsky.social get a spotlight from @sfexaminer.bsky.social! Check out this great interview: www.sfexaminer.com/news/technol...

if you're not reading brian's work yet, here's a beautiful essay to get you started. so thankful we have his voice in this moment. the rise of the gig economy and the rise of homelessness go hand in hand. "it’s not just that wages are too low; it’s that work has become more precarious than ever."

Tae Heung “Will” Kim, a doctoral student at Texas A&M University and longtime US permanent resident, has been in ICE detention for OVER one month. The AAUP stands with the Texas AAUP state conference in demanding Mr. Kim’s release. www.aaup.org/news/aaup-st...

A metaphor for where we are as a country: obsessed with deporting immigrants, no matter what the resulting damage to American society.

Everyone should listen. We are already in extremely dangerous territory. Key is to connect with your community and not give up on democracy. www.nytimes.com/audio/app/20...

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

🚨SCOOP🚨 Over 7,500 gig workers had their Instacart and Shipt accounts hacked in a $30 million fraud, court records show. The hackers first bought a stolen list of shoppers and were able to dupe them into handing over one-time passcodes. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

UPDATE: Our Ward 4 neighbor has been released & retrieved his car this morning. Thank you to our neighbors for showing up in numbers. This is how we get through this: we keep fighting, we keep showing up, we keep recording, we keep speaking out, and we keep organizing! We keep us safe.

National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

My councilwoman @janeese4dc.bsky.social put out a plea to neighbors to not order food delivery because of law enforcement targeting delivery drivers.

ICE is helping them by terrorizing their employees and the general population, lowering workers' expectations and heightening the fear of speaking out against exploitative work

"As authorities round up their work force, the big players in the world of Silicon Valley-developed delivery apps have largely remained silent. Three of the biggest — Uber, Grubhub, and DoorDash — did not respond to requests for comment. That silence disappointed but did not surprise Katie Wells..."

For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
