Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up. Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Speaking in Paris at the Second International Writers Congress in 1937, Langston Hughes declared: “We Negroes in America do not have to be told what fascism is in action. We know.”

Langston Hughes called it in the 30s but ok, welcome to the party.

Arrest IC@ when these masked terrorists are breaking state laws including murder!!

If I were the mayor or council of Los Angeles, I would simply fire the police chief and hire someone willing to enforce the law

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

I wish we said names (or atleast moderate/mainstream Dems), because my representative does not play and has continued fighting the good fight. She stands on business. She has a bill to end qualified immunity and to impeach Noem, she says abolish ICE.

Liberals (Democrats) soft pedaling fascism with their weak/hopeful response to ongoing brutality and state violence in the policies and in the streets. Pathetic, hollow and noxiously dangerous.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

‘Like James Baldwin, she thought social revolution required a reckoning of all relationships, including the individual’s relationship to herself.’ Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (@keeanga.bsky.social) on Audre Lorde: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

“The country with the Statue of Liberty deprived us of our liberty without any kind of evidence,” Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan who was held in CECOT for months, said two days after he was returned to his family. (Published July 2025)

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

READ THIS! Excellent overview of Jan 23 by @lfelizleon.bsky.social. These are times of extreme treachery and extreme solidarity, and it's captured here beautifully. "If they think they're going to ship people out in the middle of nowhere, we’re still going to go there and fight for them."

here's @prisonculture.bsky.social "Body cameras are worse than useless." You're giving money to the system you want to shrink. "The cameras are turned on you, the citizen, not the cop." And the cops control all the footage. Read it: www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

An uprising broke out at an immigrant jail in southern Texas on Saturday, with around 1,000 immigrants detained in the facility — many of them children — chanting “Libertad” and “Let us go,” according to an attorney who witnessed the event.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

Rebecca Hall reflects on Negro Liberation, her father’s groundbreaking book: “Being a child of a famous communist father, who had me when he was older than I am now, is a strange thing.”

ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

In case you missed it, Utrecht, Netherlands has begun building the largest Dutch “car-free” neighbourhood. 12K people 6K homes 1.8K social rental homes 1.5 mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes 21.5K bike parking spaces 250 shared cars 2 parcel hubs Parking structures on the edge.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

“The shooting of Porter, who leaves behind daughters aged 10 and 20, was not caught on camera” How convenient for ICE

Canadians say our border agents are nothing like ICE This low bar ignores our partnership with ICE, and the deaths, deportations, and detentions overseen by the Canada Border Services Agency, or CBSA Our latest at @breachmedia.ca www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Wu...

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

We want ICE out of our state. We want this terror to stop.

Thread. [the shorthand about her that is often uplifted on social media always does her a disservice and also does Rosa Parks one too. Glad for this thread]

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

in the 4th grade we were taught: slave catchers were un-American thugs, those who helped escaping slaves were heroes, & unjust laws like the Fugitive Slave Act are meant to challenge us as patriots, to show through risking arrest that everyone knows laws about catching people aren't themselves legal

Sam Alito's repeated, sneering "what is a woman, oh can anyone just claim to be a woman" questions at this Supreme Court oral argument suggest that his brain is, if possible, even more pickled in right-wing media than I thought

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

On Jan. 7, Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, sparking national outrage and protests condemning the organization and national government. Teen Vogue spoke to young people marching in NYC, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was speaking, to share their thoughts.
