Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

Over the last decade, Virginia governors signed executive orders to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions, but Republican Glenn Youngkin rolled back those reforms. Virginia lawmakers moved this week to enshrine rights restoration into law.

Ida B. Wells didn’t “raise awareness.” She documented crimes. She proved lynching wasn’t chaos it was governance sheriffs handing bodies to mobs judges refusing justice, papers laundering murder into “necessity" It didn’t vanish It adapted Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/19KG...

@govmurphy.bsky.social do the right thing and sign the immigrant protection act. Our neighbors are being terrorized.. 25% of NJ resident are immigrants.

"Neighbors in neon vests dot the neighborhood... Information-sharing networks have been built. Residents have connected with non-profits and churches to deliver food to people who are locked in their homes out of fear. Resistance signs are everywhere..." www.liberalcurrents.com/so-hows-the-...

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Exquisite. #Archaeology

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

Coming soon! The new documentary I’ve made with director Tony Buba and a great creative team: “Becoming Benjamin Lay” asks, who was this radical abolitionist and why was he so long forgotten? How did his dwarfism impact his politics? What does he have to say to us today?

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Yesterday I resigned from the EAA Appeals & Anti-Harassment Committee (AAHC) after I was targetted in what I believe was an attempt to disprupt & undermine the AAHC. Be assured, AAHC are v much committed to making EAA a safe space, despite the restrictions imposed on them by the existing statutes. 🏺

"They want the painful business of living as humans to end. The painful business of studying civilization, of science and medicine, of art, of loving. They want it all to end so a cult of heaven-for-us-hell-for-you can take over" -Christopher Hitchens (my paraphrasing)

ICE is the gestapo. Even dumb as a rock Joe Rogan can see that.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

lol lmao even

These are the facts.

Between Musk's porn generator, Zuckerberg's trauma machine, and the suicide-encouraging bots that Google invested in - Big Tech is finding that child sacrifice is very, very profitable. I feel especially strongly about this one. New from me: buttondown.com/creativegood...

Europe having to perform military exercises against their primary threat, the United States.

This is Minneapolis: While walking kids to school we passed someone we don't know on the sidewalk. He made eye contact, put his hand on his heart and rubbed, with such a sincere look like "I'm with you." But no words. I did the same and held back tears. This is so fucking weird and hard.

Abolish ICE.

Do not post shit that will get you on watch list Do not sign up for protests- just go Wear a mask if you are protesting No matter how mad you are: Stay safe and stay smart

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.

Hello just making my periodic announcement that I'm a trans man and transitioning made my life SO MUCH better and trans people of all ages deserve respect and access to gender-affirming care - just like cis people do!

Dear neighbor, HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart. Children of immigrants please keep your family safe. Jason Chavez 1/

ICE is escalating their attacks on Minnesota - and so community and labor are responding to their violence with this peaceful shutdown.

Three of the Ogala Lakota men who were taken by ICE are being held at a former concentration camp. ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans. They’re not breaking any laws. There’s nowhere to deport them to. They were here first. They’ve been kidnapped.

There he is.

The AHA rightly condemned the Iraq war in 2007 and the Ukraine invasion in 2022. Blocking a resolution, overwhelmingly supported by members, to express solidarity with Gaza is cowardly at best and special pleading at worst.

As many people have already said, this is loathsome and has become normalized in the press. But also--he's shook

Imagine if Chuck Schumer had even a tenth of the political instincts and energy of @vanhollen.senate.gov

This is what we want. More of this please.
