Portland ICE facility now.

Making little watercolors of happy news images to carry with me. This one's based on a Portland ICE protest photographed by Amanda Moore.

BREAKING: At least 51 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into effect less than two weeks ago, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/z1q2d3

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

BREAKING: Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian in the Maen area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to the Wafa news agency 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/n5k3lj

Abolish ICE.

Assata Shakur exchanged letters with Audre Lorde from prison, and Lorde wrote for her the poem "For Assata": I dream of your freedom as my victory and the victory of all dark women who forego the vanities of silence 👇Here's the whole poem

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Looking forward to this collection of poems by @asaldrake.bsky.social. Explorations of “lineage and future lineage of a body shaped by economic, ecological, and political dissonance” are my jam. Coming February 2026!
