BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Rest in power, Assata Shakur. "A wall is just a wall and nothing more at all. It can be broken down. I believe in living I believe in birth I believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth. And i believe that a lost ship steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port."

We had some really cool pieces go up this week at @coyotemedia.org! 〰️ neighbors taking care of one another in the face of ICE 〰️ towns not known for protest standing up for Palestine www.coyotemedia.org/albany-and-e... 〰️ a complicated win for trans folks www.coyotemedia.org/but-what-did...

“Federal agents body slammed Mr. Shouhed, pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck, ignored his pleas for medical care, and left him broken and in pain for hours.”

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

California’s “No Robo Bosses Act” is a great start. And much more is needed, because many kinds of powerful institutions are using automated decision-making against us. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) allows the government to issue civil fines to people and organizations. Under the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began sending notices of fines to individuals with final deportation orders. noimmigrationfines.org

What you see here is an affinity group maximizing their efficacy by tapping into the unique or specialized skills and capabilities of each member. This could be you and 3 of your good friends downtown at night feeding bountifully on corn and getting away with it.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

In response to ICE targeting Chicago, locals are targeting bottlenecks in ICE operations, leading to clashes at the Broadview ICE facility last Friday. In this report, participants in the blockades recount their experiences and share their preliminary conclusions. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

This executive order.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

One detainee said officers threatened to place him in solitary confinement his first day at the California City Immigration Processing Center.

I was interviewed for this piece in South Side Weekly about the tear gas and pepper ball attacks ICE waged against protesters on Friday.

Delicious fundraiser coming up!!

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We’re writing letters to political prisoners and ICE detained folks tonight. 2775 Cottage Way #15 in Sac. 7pm. We’ll have pizza (vegan and nonvegan!), and cool people to chat with 🥳 join us!

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

No law authorizes the president to designate something as a domestic terrorist org (only a foreign terrorist org), so it will be interesting to see what law he invokes here (if any). “Domestic terrorism” is more of a concept than anything with a legal underpinning.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The lessons *I* have learned about effective protest in this era is that it must be sustained, militant, and escalating. It's less about One Big Day and more about how a protest movement deeply entrenches itself and grows and escalates even as it endures assault from the state.

IMHO there is no need to register for a protest. I have never done that and find it a very weird thing to ask people to do

“I’m just blessed that I’m still alive,” Botello said. “I’ve been hearing it and seeing it through social media. But it never crossed my mind that it was going to happen here at the house… where I live.”

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.” Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

I know a lot of people are being doxxed by the far right because they were too honest in public about how they felt about the Kirk assassination. I wrote a quick guide about the first things you should do if this is happening to you. (Not paywalled) www.patreon.com/posts/85220523

TV Chosun, a conservative cable news network, interviewed one of the detained workers. At about 1:30, he says about the guards: 인종차별을 하더라고. 눈을 찢는다든지. If your translation doesn't make sense, do an image search of this sentence. news.tvchosun.com/site/data/ht...

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

“Amid the ongoing protests in Nepal, ruckus erupted across several prisons, with protesters storming jail compounds and breaking locks to free inmates. In some facilities, prisoners themselves have broken out, taking advantage of the growing unrest" ~ Ill Will

Wow, our food recovery program is doing some incredible work, if we do say so ourselves!

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

For those just learning more about Turning Point USA and Kirk, here's a thread of some of the stuff I've covered over the years, mostly for @lcrw.bsky.social, which has also covered TPUSA over the years and the real (negative) impact they've had on various communities throughout the county. 🧵⤵️

“Just kill” homeless people is where we are now.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

“It’s like seeing the eye of Sauron hanging over your city.” Our top story, from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: A massive surveillance tower looming over Juárez is just part of a AI-powered network that extends far beyond the Texas-Mexico border.
