“People held there have described a litany of inhumane conditions: overcrowded and unsanitary holding cells; not enough food and water; and freezing conditions at night. Legal experts said, in many cases, detainees at Broadview were coerced into signing paperwork before even speaking to a lawyer.”

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, 52, remains in an Israeli prison a year after Israel detained him without charges or trial. Known for his steadfast presence as director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, he has become central in international discussions on the protection of medical personnel in armed conflicts.

NEW: 4 months have passed since a Louisiana oil facility burst apart, spewing black sludge across homes, farms, and waterways as far as 50 miles away. Yet the black goo still clings to walls, roofs, and soil of more than half of the majority-Black town’s properties capitalbnews.org/roseland-lou...

In all, Dayana, a U.S. Citizen, was stopped three different times in roughly the same area of Key Largo and around the same time of day NOV 7: Dayana is stopped, her husband, the passenger, is detained and taken by #immigration agents NOV 15: Dayana is stopped, then let go DEC 3: This happened 👇

Violating a judicial ruling that she not be deported, in the face of evidence she is a US citizen. Trump’s America. It could happen to anyone.

"We will disrupt whatever plan ICE has. ... [W]e will not be moved. We will not be shaken. We're not going anywhere until ICE gets out."

it’s unsettling how many USians seem to think CECOT is unlike that prison your uncle works at in Colorado or Virginia or California or Alabama… humiliation, deprivation, isolation, sexual violence…constant torture inflicted on people who both have & have not committed harm—that’s…prison.

Around 74 percent of the tents currently in use in Gaza are technically unfit for habitation because of wear and poor quality.

When an extreme event hits a place that has no built resilience, that place, is more often than not taken below a tipping point from which complete recovery is not possible. This leads to permanent loss. We see this playing out everywhere. news.un.org/en/story... #ClimateCrisis

About 300,000 Black women have left the workforce in the first half of 2025 as the Black unemployment rate topped 7%, limiting their access to healthcare, groceries, and maternal care. From Naomi Bethune: trib.al/ZtXbgQx

"As @lewispants.bsky.social describes in @objectivejournos.bsky.social, “fascist leaders thrive on an ill-informed public.” Wallace, citing @dreanyc123.bsky.social, notes that movement journalism’s 'purpose zero' is 'to challenge fascism and authoritarianism by fighting disinformation.'"

“A child in the Nuseirat refugee camp died after triggering unexploded Israeli ordnance. And Doctors Without Borders said Thursday a 29-day-old baby died of hypothermia at Nasser Hospital, the latest Palestinian to freeze to death” #GazaGenocide www.democracynow.org/2025/12/19/h...

Ceasefires are fragile political phrases, and only exist on paper. In reality, Palestinian families continue to be erased in moments justified by vague and unverified “security concerns.” https://prismreports.org/2025/12/18/israel-is-still-killing-palestinians-including-14-of-my-relatives/

For folks curious re the news re gender affirming care for trans youth I wrote a quick summary in the BDNH newsletter It’s NOT a national ban. it creates no new civil or criminal penalties, it is a proposal to wield the power of the purse to discriminatorily deny care mailchi.mp/interrupting...

I am so proud of the small group of people that has been grinding on this project for 10 years. Looks like there will finally be a ground-breaking in 2026 - thetriibe.com/2025/12/chic...

"Wherever the agents appear, even when they lean idly, chatting, we see the cold threat of violence and the fragility of freedom. And in the brave crowds who gather to confront them, scrambling their illusion of total control, we see the power of solidarity..." hammerandhope.org/article/ice-...

On Monday, ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis, dragging her in the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted the woman was pregnant. In response, one agent fired a taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to a WCCO reporter. trib.al/vdWc3qj

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications. ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

"From workplaces and schools to houses of worship and courtrooms, everyday people from all backgrounds have been choosing to stand with their immigrant neighbors...In state after state, outraged and concerned community members organized emergency trainings and warning networks..."

While the past year has brought successive tsunamis of criminalization, "our resistance has multiplied, deepened, and expanded to meet these waves of criminalization," as our co-founder @dreanyc123.bsky.social points out in our latest "This Month in Criminalization" newsletter. Check it out here:

1000000% - and also consistently results in being punished with adseg (where they are at greater risk of sexual violence by guards & others) when they report sexual violence *by others* against *themselves*

NEW: A major shift in underway in recent months kicked into gear this week, with ICE trial attorneys around the country asking immigration "judges" to toss out *nearly all* asylum applications on the grounds of "safe third country" agreements with Uganda, Honduras, Ecuador, and Guatemala.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Good Trouble 🔥

Next book club book is in @davidkaib.bsky.social @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

Also, it sounds like people have figured out which hotel the ICE agents are staying at and are giving them a lovely overnight musical performance with drums and vuvuzelas and so on. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Minneapolis stays in a rebellion ✊🏼

NEW: Immigrants who had received letters inviting them to a citizenship ceremony in downtown Louisville were turned away at the door Thursday. All are from countries deemed “high-risk” by President Donald Trump. From @byrobertor.lpm.org at @lpm.org

Today's fun fact: if "blue" "progressive" Maryland was a country, we would incarcerate more women per capita than 153 countries, including Canada, China, Argentina, and Venezuela, and would be tied with the Russian Federation. #TheMoreYouKnow www.prisonpolicy.org/global/women...

Just one example of how Minnesotans are rallying in the freezing weather to defend their neighbors.

Please listen...I know a lot about this, I have friends who have been or are civilly committed THERE IS NO END DATE or incentive for anyone to be LET OUT EVER They often use barely qualified staff and call them "treatment specialists" and those people have NO INCENTIVE TO EVER LET ANYONE OUT

We are paying BILLIONS for these concentration camps. Billions.

Venezuelan drugs are the new weapons of mass destruction.

#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis. #DemsUnited

Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
