The establishment portrays itself as moderate, but they're more radical than anyone. Defending a system of murder, racism, exploitation, and climate destruction is far more radical than advocating for an end to those things. We arent radical. We just want to live. And self defense is a human right

In the case of Oriana Korol, the clarinetist who was bowled over by ICE goons last year and the charged with assault, the jury has hung and Judge Immergut declared a mistrial. Looks like DOJ will try again next month. Outrageous waste of money.

"Palantir executives donated more money to Democrats than Republicans." "Find out if your representatives have taken cash from Palantir, the private prison industry and other companies fueling ICE’s mass deportation efforts."

We are all Sir Jumps A Lot.

This chart reflects PSB's best understanding of the surveillance and data systems tied into ICE operations, from airline reservation data and license plate readers to Palantir and field mobile biometrics. Built from a review of ICE contracts, FOIA documents, technical specs, and public reporting.

This is an important point, it seems to me, because there’s a discourse developing about refusers: namely, that they refuse genAI use in order maintain some kind of individualistic or self-gratifying purity. No, it’s a matter of solidarity (with the harmed & marginalized), of social ethics.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

💲🛩️ The FBI Director’s G5 (tail: N708JH) returns from Portland, Oregon to Joint Base Andrews on Mother's Day. Whatever Ka$h was doing in Rose City, he's done doing it 👀

This event will feature Chloe Cole, a 21-year-old who is the far-right's face of detransitioning. There will be a protest, and people are asked to bring drums, kazoos, and flags.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

“Searchable database of zines, texts and other media dealing with surveillance and operational security. The goal is to help anarchists and other rebels acquire a practical understanding of the surveillance threats they may face in their struggles and in their lives.”

seems ominous

Whoever invents a QR code that the glasses automatically scan and then get bricked should win a Nobel.

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

That's because women Democrats *are* more capable than Republican men.

2/ With federal ownership of these sites and expedited regional construction awards, ICE could expand existing centers to add new “beds” with some degree of ease…

Here 8 of the 10 “turnkey” facilities ICE is looking to purchase outright from private prison firms according to multiple sources. These would be much harder to fight than the warehouses, and would be “immune” from state or county level legislation as federal enclaves.

NEW: Trump's boat-strike murder spree continues. 3 more killed in a strike yesterday. The death toll now tops 190. We're tracking them all, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Homan said he spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin earlier in the morning to discuss what the administration will do “in the next couple of months.” “You ain’t seen shit yet,” Homan said. “This year will be a good year. Mass deportations are coming.”

Emergency Press Conference and Protest: Drop the charges on Sam Ibarra! 1120 SW 3rd Ave, Portland. TODAY May 5th at 6:30pm.

Tom Homan claims that the administration is in the process of trying to hire 10,000 more immigration enforcement agents saying “you ain’t seen shit yet” and that they want to “flood the zone” with ICE agents in neighborhoods and make “collateral arrests” in places like New York City.

We continue to just simply murder people.

Tomorrow Tom Homan & CBP/ICE leads will be speaking at the PHX Convention Center for the Border Security Expo. This 3-day event brings 100s of private companies seeking to earn contracts with the border/detention industrial complex. Tonight’s reception is sponsored by SMX tech (formerly Smartronix).

"If we built it, we can tear it down."

If they find any abnormal signs, they will perform a biopsy. I hear some doctors provide local anesthetic for it. Everyone I know who’s had one was told to take they can take an ibuprofen before coming in. You are told this is only a little pinch. It is not.

“From 2018 to 2024, the average number of people who died in ICE custody annually was 8.9. Since ICE stopped medical reimbursements on October 3, 2025, people have been dying in ICE custody at a rate of 51.7 people annually.“

Definitely the case in Portland:

These findings are based on 1,460 summaries of use-of-force reports contained in ICE emails known as the Daily Detainee Assault Report. They span incidents reported January 2024 through February 2026 by 98 detention facilities which held 86% of all ICE detainees during that time.

3. Since the beginning of 2024, at least 106 detainees have been injured as a result of use-of-force incidents, including seizures, dislocated shoulders, broken arms, head injuries and eye injuries.

4. In several of the incidents covered by the reports, chemical agents were used on large groups of detainees who were demanding things to which they are legally entitled, including adequate water and medical care.

It was unreal to watch SPD spear this poor girl off her ELECTRIC BICYCLE for following me down a street @mayorofseattle.bsky.social why the fuck are these cops escalating conflict in the streets with SAFETY VOLUNTEERS who were part of an OFFICIALLY PERMITTED EVENT

You know how courts (looking at you Supreme Court) manipulate history to get the outcome they want? Well they manipulate science too. Please check out my newest law review article which explores "law office science" in decisions on mifepristone and gender affirming care. Link: buff.ly/bIar0zZ

So that's a significant percentage of adults who like Trump just fine on "immigration," but only disapprove of him when it's their own pocketbook. This is so true, and so ugly.

Hey guys in case no ones told you: our government and elected officials are not going to get us out of this fascist regime

This is an attempted vehicular manslaughter by the President of Cornell University on his own students, for the crime of opposing war crimes committed towards Palestinians, caught on camera by witnesses. He should be removed from office and prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law by Monday.

Portland Police arrested eight activists with Sunrise PDX this morning at The Porter hotel downtown. They were protesting Hilton’s complicity in housing ICE agents across the country. Hilton cut ties with a franchisee in Minnesota who refused to provide lodging for DHS.

Trump expelled three more people -- two Cameroonian women and one Egyptian man -- to Equatorial Guinea via an Omni ICE flight yesterday. Third-country removals to Ghana and Cameroon on the same plane also possible. First reported here: gillianbrockell.com/exclusive-ic...

UPDATE: The Trump-Vance-Rubio State Department is exploring "tools to impose consequences on those who provide support" to the Global Sumud Flotilla. Hundreds worldwide (including the US) joined the flotilla to breach Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza. Thousands have donated.

We won! Hundreds of thousands of people who are currently detained and separated from their families in lower-level cases will be released from jail every year. An incredible victory for liberty and public safety. You can read the historic decision here: civilrightscorps.org/wp-content/u...

A well-reported update on the 15 South American people ICE sent to DR Congo two weeks ago. Trapped in a rat-infested hotel by the airport with no options but going back to the countries they fled. This is what we're doing to legal asylum-seekers who "followed the rules." www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

We need to get this guy off the street and into jail.
