I cannot express how much I hope that what ultimately brings these motherfuckers down are the women who survived them as children.

If you're a book creator and people in your life don't understand why book bans are such a sore point for you then by god show them this film. It really gets people fired up.

I’ve been sending posters all over the country for people in cities besieged by ICE to distribute. Do you want ro distribute some? My DMs are open

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This column is good and @davekarpf.bsky.social should feel good.

big news on the strike beat from @clauirizarry.bsky.social:

Glad he is freed, but yes, his sun hat fell off and he had to serve six months in jail as a result! It’s…not a competition, but this case has gotten nowhere near the attention as the sandwich throwing in DC, at least on this coast. Preserve, protect and celebrate our 1st Amendment Rights!

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

"Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government’s convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place... When liberty is restrained without a meaningful opportunity to be heard, the Constitution’s promise is not delayed. It is denied."

Our Literary Thursdays series continues with longtime educator @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social, who will explain why "Black History is for Everyone." Join us on February 12 at 6PM! queenslibrary.org/calendar/bla... #BlackHistoryMonth

it's great that grand juries are stepping up but I also do not think you should be allowed to practice law after bringing a case like that

Good stuff thread.

Short and extremely important thread.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

Thank you for speaking up, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social! This further restriction on protest is a major threat to our union’s ability to picket and call for solidarity rallies outside of Columbia’s gates. We are staunchly against this proposed measure!

All three of the new office locations ICE is moving into — Roseland, Woodbury, and New Windsor — "are within an hour and a half from a warehouse in Chester, NY, that DHS is pursuing as an immigrant detention center." This is part of what the Big Ugly Bill bought for ICE. Details below ⬇️

Read @andreapitzer.bsky.social: "what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China."

Full fledged commitment to fight for Ban the Bombs from @bradlander.bsky.social at @jfrejnyc.bsky.social endorsement. We will stop the genocide, organize to end fascism and fight for self determination, fully dignified lives and liberation worldwide.

“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”

Winner winner. @analiliafornj.bsky.social helped build the Working Families Party in New Jersey. Now her victory sends a clear signal that it’s a new day in New Jersey politics, and our country is ready for bold, working-class leadership. Let's talk about it:

They are, themselves, the worst.

👇🏼

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

These are good conversations to have in advance. Fascists operate in fear and overwhelm that is intended to immobilize you. If you already know what to do, how to get started, and who will join you, you’ll be taking away their most powerful tools.

Imagine if people put money into Karen's resistance school they way they did Bari Weiss's school for racists.

👋Hello Bluesky and welcome to @karenattiah.bsky.social's official Resistance Study Series™️account! We're excited to be on this platform and will be providing all updates on RSS💪 🧵We have some exciting updates to share with you! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

Incredible. The Washington City Paper has been around for decades too. This could have been a thing! But, no, not for Bezos. Please, stop using Amazon, everyone! Don’t use Ring! Don’t buy from Amazon! Or use AWS! Or have a Prime account! Tell your friends! Tell your PTA! Buy local!

Leqaa Kordia is the last Columbia protester still being held prisoner by ICE—all because she dared to speak out against genocide and in support of Palestine. We must demand her freedom and safety, and condemn this affront to freedom of speech. FREE LEQAA NOW!

We cannot allow this to happen.

We cannot allow this to continue.

America made some huge mistakes when it twice elected the head of a fascist death cult to be the President.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, those organizers and MN leaders will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize and protect our neighbors from ICE and CBP deployments: www.crowdcast.io/c/reimagine/...

This seems to be the one time that JD Vance has done something correct or appropriate, and then even apparently that contradicts his overlords and now counts as an error.

So much of this story is a New York story, and so here in New York we have a particular burden and responsibility to make sure these ghouls leave their positions of affluence and influence and prestige and power.

This is a must watch. Thank you, @delia.bsky.social !

Hey, this is good! Does not have to only be in Minnesota, writers, publishers, booksellers! The donations are headed to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota or the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota Immigration Rapid Response Fund. www.ilcm.org www.wfmn.org/funds/immigr...

This is an insult and an effort to erase or subdue the gay rights movement. It’s an insult and an effort to erase remarkable local New York City history and spectacular proud American history. To hell with them, and am sure this will not stand.

I just gave to RAICES because they provide legal services in Texas where there are more children like Liam at the Dilley detention center which is little more than a concentration camp.

Somehow, in the attention to Howard Lutnick's lies about Epstein and his general toadying, attention has drifted away from his buying a house in DC for $25 million. In cash. From ... Brett Baier of Trump state media, aka Fox. (We walk past its gates frequently) washingtonian.com/2024/12/20/b...

Really have to hand it to the @WeRateDogs guy, who's consistently using his massive platform for good. In this case discussing how Ring is trying to manufacture consent for using its products for immigration—AND ABORTION—monitoring.

NEW: Salesforce employees are circulating a letter urging CEO Marc Benioff to denounce ICE www.wired.com/story/letter...

Please watch the whole video from our Saint Paul Olympian. It’s one of the most direct and eloquent statements about the situation that I’ve heard from anyone. Proud to be a Minnesotan, proud to be represented by Rich Ruohonen.

Big thread. Big day. Appreciate this coverage.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
