As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Second night of Jersey cops attacking protesters who are there supporting hunger strikers inside a sadistic immigrant jail

The Delaney Hall hunger strikers’ number one demand is to meet with Governor Sherrill. She made one attempt to enter, was denied by ICE and never tried again.

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

NEW: ICE agent Christian Castro was arrested in Texas today on a warrant from Minnesota. Castro is charged with four felony assault counts for shooting into a house during Operation Metro Surge. He's the only one out of 25 LEO's that shot someone in MN over the last six months that's been charged.

ICE flights. Friday, May 29, 2026. At least 88 flights on 30 planes, the most I've recorded. At least nine removal stops.

Just hours after Gov. Sherrill said ICE would step aside outside Delaney Hall to allow NJ state police to “protect protesters,” ICE is armed and back out in full force. Per Mercado Media stream: www.youtube.com/live/GixFCom...

Cops on massive horses were just up close in the crowd outside Delaney Hall. Unhinged.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

“Based on the most recent data available, the vast majority of people at the facility have no conviction (88.3%) and the large majority have no criminal history whatsoever (70.5%).”

Delaney Hall ICE prison in New Jersey is a privately owned/operated immigration detention (prison) with a multi-$B U.S. contract. Immigrants are being held without due process, feed rancid food, severely mistreated and are on a hunger strike, while protesters are being attacked. Do not look away!

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: Children are paying the price for this administration's mass deportation agenda. A new report estimates that nearly 147,000 U.S. citizen children have already seen a parent detained since the start of Trump's 2nd term. More than 22,000 have seen BOTH parents detained.

ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

Ambulances are on the ground at Delaney Hall after reports that detainees (including kids) are being beaten and gassed inside right now. PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS

Republicans want to give ICE and Border Patrol over $70 BILLION more to fund their concentration camps and militarized deployments to US cities. Tell your GOP member of Congress: NOT ONE PENNY MORE FOR ICE!

ICE terror is on full display. All eyes on Delaney Hall.

"As I've said repeatedly, refusing to provide full access raises serious questions about what ICE is trying to hide from public view.”

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

within an hour of this moment—detainees inside and protesters and supporters outside communicating briefly with flashing lights—ICE began beating protesters with batons and pepper spraying them. some had to seek medical treatment. one was pushed into a 18 wheeler that then ran over their foot.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

ICE is shooting pepper spray and attacking press right now at Delaney Hall.

reporting live from Delaney Hall in NJ, where protesters are out in droves (along with the media) in support of hunger striking detainees, in a movement spreading to other detention centers in Texas, California and NM

Today, I visited the Delaney Hall Detention Facility for congressional oversight. Detainees have been on strike since last Friday, demanding humane conditions after reports of spoiled foods, freezing temperatures, and inadequate medical care. Every person deserved safety and basic human rights.

NEW: Three U.S. senators have called for an overhaul of federal agents’ use of tear gas and pepper spray, citing a ProPublica investigation that found at least 79 children were hurt by these chemicals during Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Protesters cheer and ICE agents silently look on while detainees at Delaney Hall flash the lights inside the facility.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

4/ Waldorf came into this fight with more resources than most: Her father was a doctor. She worked at the hospital. She was highly educated and well-connected. Yet even meeting the hospital’s CEO, calling the governor and hiring a lawyer would not be enough.

3/ Texas, another abortion ban state, has amended its law to make clear that doctors don’t need to wait for infection in similar cases. Arkansas and other states have not.

INBOX: Journalists at the five McClatchy newspapers in Washington and Idaho (the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian) are calling a one-day strike today over wages and AI protections. That means no clicking on any links to their sites for today.

NEW: She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help. Emily Waldorf’s case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

My pub sing group had an emergency singalong tonight and, I’m telling you, you need to sit in a room with other people and yell the angry verses of Woody Guthrie songs. You may not realize it. But that’s what you need. That’ll fix it.

My wife asked this guy if he was aware this was playing off a popular racist & antisemitic slogan & he abashedly said "yes" & admitted it was unfortunate. He offered to turn his sign around, where the other side said: "DRIVERS ARE PEOPLE TOO"

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

"What does AI mean for your soul?" is both: 1) a different question than we're used to asking about technologies 2) a different question when posed in a social, economic, ecologial, and political context than in an individualist one

The contemporary Catholic tradition calls this "integral ecology": as Francis writes, “the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” cannot be separated.

"Even today, colonialism assumes new forms. It no longer dominates only bodies, but appropriates data, transforming personal lives into exploitable information." The pope calls biometric information and other personal data the new "rare earths" of imperial extraction cc @lifewinning.com

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

Hugely bummed to hear that the city has denied The Ave for All’s permits to demonstrate a car-free University Way just two days this summer. You can join their letter writing campaign here: actionnetwork.org/letters/supp.... @lhjseattle.bsky.social

Just shared this thread with someone for the first time so it’s probably a good day for everyone to remember The Time Shiv’s BIL Ordered Rice

Kilmar Abrego Garcia faced perhaps the most crazed vendetta ever waged by a president of the United States against a single individual. Now justice has been served. From NDLON: ndlon.org/kilmar-abreg...

I am begging everyone to make something! Yes, YOU! Make something bad, make something stupid, make something messy Draw, paint, sing, dance, tell jokes, film, mold, whatever Just make something that didn’t exist before you made it I’m convinced creativity and community will save us

Obviously my students are self-selecting, but when I hear how they talk about AI vs. how university admin talks about AI...I don't think the university has any idea how much students resent it.

Really sobering discussion with my 4th-year students as they contemplate post-graduate employment. They talked about "overwhelming anxiety," disappearing career ladders, fake job ads, no safety net, massive uncertainty, desperation... I really don't understand what we're doing.

We identified 273 individuals with valid work permits who were arrested during Operation Metro Surge. That number is almost certainly an undercount.

More on ICE agents detaining a person in North Chicago this morning, leaving a child behind in a car:

Thank you P for $200 toward L's back rent! $425/$2300 is 18.5% funded! That leaves $1875 to go: 19 more people with $100 to pay another month of back rent for L's family. 🌻🌻🌻
