ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year. He’s been in the US since he was two years old. It’s all he knows. When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs. His health is declining.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

This is something he / they do a lot, manipulating the Overton window. Trump says something outrageously extreme and impractical. Then they (as NYT obliges here) get to "walk back" and sound like they're compromising in merely doing the outrageously evil instead of the impossible delusion version.

In today’s episode, after a brief introduction on children as a target of state violence by ICE, we speak with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social & Kim Wilson about care work and parenting as part of abolitionist practice and how we show up for each other in dark times www.patreon.com/posts/149776...

Instead of going "qanon was right, but about the wrong people" or "the conspiracies were correct except for who was doing it" or such, actually look up the definition of DARVO. Those letters, they actually mean something. Think: DARVO with the budget of a nation state en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.

I am hosting this FREE workshop to help us navigate this current moment with our little ones. Please invite your comrades, community, and kin. We are not helpless and we are in an intergenerational struggle. ASL & NOTE TAKER PRESENT

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

The fact that Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi after she *admitted in her book* to helping RFK get a role in the Trump administration is one of the most damning indictments of elite media I've ever seen. Not only is VF sweeping it under the rug but no one else in elite media seems perturbed by it either!

Today, Donald Trump--the president of the United States and a man with a history of election subversion--said: "We shouldn’t even have an election" in 2026. While legacy media has largely ignored this story, Democracy Docket has covered it from multiple angles. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Oh you finally figured out that Michael Cohen is bad? What gave it away -- the lifelong mafia ties, the pedophile coverup, or the ceaseless grifting? Everyone who boosted him should be ashamed. You went on his show for fame. You could have said no. I said no multiple times. But you have no ethics.

Any amount helps, and even re-sharing this post could make a difference. We’re incredibly grateful for any support during this stressful moment. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any help you’re able to give. cash.app/$ClarkishaKent

Hey y’all. So. We are in an urgent and difficult situation. We have a storage locker for our belongings, but we can no longer keep up with the payments and have fallen behind. If we’re unable to cover the full $750 balance, everything in it will be lost in 2 days. cash.app/$ClarkishaKent

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.

People are being kidnapped, blinded and murdered. Children are being teargassed outside their schools, and senior Dems are still tone policing the response.

These photos are terrifying (as opposed to stunning). Black women have been killed in these kind of scenarios long before Trump.

This is the second CEO to come crawling to the public hat-in-hand to beg us to stop rejecting their product. It’s almost like the inevitability of mass adoption was both wildly overstated, and just a bullying tactic to strong-arm consumers.

I'm begging people to stop posting screenshots of articles without links or any information that would make it possible to find the article. It does everyone a disservice and makes it easier for people to (knowingly or unknowingly) share misinformation

How blessed are we to have never been under the illusion cops protect us because our parents had to shatter that when we were kids, because they knew they’d have to prepare us for American life while Black.

The way America relies on Black activists to protect them from their own decisions should be studied. Not by me though.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe is still trying to locate four members kidnapped by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week, and many Native people in the Twin Cities have felt scared to leave the house to go to work or get groceries. www.startribune.com/ice-detainin...

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

My friend Alice Wong was a civil rights & disability justice activist, community organizer, & author. She was unapologetic in her pursuit of building a more just world & shining a light on issues society hesitated to address. She is deeply missed, but her legacy carries on.

Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe. Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things. Rand Paul is a stopped clock and still a self-centered destructive shit but sometimes possibly useful. Also still a bad person.

Warm Greetings, I haven’t been on here since October/November. I apologize for missing some messages. Please message me via my email/websire not socials if you need to try to grab a hold of my attention. I’m not huge on social media. Most grateful, Talila A. Lewis

New article! On the shutdown, a nation treated as prey, and the meaning of leverage: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-shutdown

„What if we just didn’t accept that these programs must infiltrate every part of our lives? Or at least not the products currently being sold to us, literally sold to us so megacorporations can make more money, but also metaphorically sold to us as inevitable.“

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Love has never been a popular movement. I'll never have buildings named after me but I'll be damned if the memory I leave isn't that of someone who chose to do something, anything, to alleviate suffering as often as I was able. It's really just that simple.

After 7 paragraphs musing about potential Hamas 'ceasefire violations' like 'not finding bodies under all the rubble quickly enough' we get a casual mention that the IDF has killed 38 people in paragraph 8

The future is bright with gaslighting

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

We're gonna need a complete teardown of the media, same as with the ballroom. And I say this as someone who has been part of that machine for many years. It's moldy all the way through. We have some wonderful independent pubs doing real work but everyone else needs to be tossed in the fucking bin

Latest: I wrote about the DHS Office of Public Affairs shameless lies about ICE arrests and all the times it's lied to me and other reporters lately. DHS did not respond to my request for comment about all the lies it's told. reason.com/2025/10/22/h...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This looks absolutely amazing. I cite @talilalewis.bsky.social’s work constantly (truly just cited them in a guest lecture on Friday). This is pay what you want, October 23rd and October 30th 2025. Two consecutive Thursdays at 5p - 7p PT // 7p - 9p CT // 8p - 10p ET.

Hey so about that whole elections thing and the reality that republicans are already blocking newly elected democrats from being sworn in a full year before the midterms.

"Radical educator and philosopher Paulo Freire wrote, “The more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can better transform it.
