"The decision has not affected Microsoft’s wider commercial relationship with the IDF, which is a longstanding client and will retain access to other services" but still!

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

A Venezuelan man from The Bronx told THE CITY that he has begun a hunger strike to protest that immigration authorities have jailed him for more than seven months, despite multiple court rulings ordering his release.

In case you didn’t know, journalist Mario Guevara has been in ICE custody since June. The specific reason? They claim Guevara “presents a danger to the community because he films and records [police] activities and shares his reporting with the public.” thedissenter.org/aclu-demands...

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

I'm so old I still have the cassette! My CD player died years ago, but this tape deck will probably outlive us all.

Love how @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social reflects on the absurdity of “corporate personhood” and the power of boycotts in this hilarious take on the #Target boycott

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

This is a thread well worth reading.

If we are going to create a mass culture of non compliance with authoritarianism we are going to have to fight for each other when the system comes down on us to punish non compliance. Please join me in signing on!

I've been fostering this adorable, tiny, soft, young kitty & wish I could keep her, but she'd be happier in a home without other cats. Please share w/ anyone in range of #Philly who's looking for a #cat. More pics at the link and I can answer any Q's: www.petfinder.com/cat/tiny-gre...

Impressive how hard this piece is working to avoid using the word "boycott," despite acknowledging customer backlash and online protest as significant factors.

Last night DC neighbors showed up at a police checkpoint at 14th & V ST. NW with handwritten signs warning drivers to avoid the block. After realizing that the community was successfully diverting all traffic, agents packed up the checkpoint and left. #WeKeepUsSafe

Los Angeles school district police, staff and volunteers will form protective perimeters around at least 100 schools to help ensure safe passage of children — an announcement that came on a day that immigration agents drew their guns on a student with disabilities. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Mayor Bowser on Trump’s takeover—“How we got here or what we think about the circumstances—right now we have more police, and we want to make sure we use them”—is such a perfect summary of how such an embrace of policing is exactly how we got here, while refusing to consider that.

Crime data grew as part of Progressive Era efforts to control Black people and involved the police, philanthropy, and social sciences. Ida B. Wells-Barnett and W.E.B. Du Bois were early critics of the political functions of crime data. A function is to legitimize policing. Crime data is copaganda.

"Pandemic apathy is a tool of white supremacy that aids ethnic cleansing, genocides, racism, and lack of climate awareness... [with] only healthy lives having worth, or unhealthy lives not being able to access human rights, you could become expendable too." medium.com/@info_52192/...

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

9. Disability politics asks: what would an economy look like if keeping each other alive was the highest value? Not GDP, not productivity—but the refusal to abandon anyone. Disability pride is also a revolution in how we define wealth.

This is all lies, and I don’t know what else I can add: Human beings are being dehumanized as “disorder” to be managed, punished, or disappeared.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

“Eggs are too expensive bc all the chickens are in Congress” - “kitchen table politics” in #Philly

Activating a national surveillance network to share with the police amidst a mass deportation push is comic book villainy.

It’s like a supercharged version of the role IBM’s punch card system played in facilitating the atrocities of the Third Reich… with the added benefit of accelerating climate change & smothering Black communities in South Memphis.

LA INTIFADA: TO LIVE AND FIGHT IN LA This is must a read for anyone trying to understand the moment in Los Angeles:

I just listened as well, here is the audio - you can hear Kalief recount in his own voice what solidarity confinement feels like for a teen. I feel we owe it to him to listen since he should still be here and the system that killed him, which we can fight, heaps these evils on others everyday...

The zinnia seeds I planted a while back gave me the sweetest birthday gift yesterday #BloomScrolling

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

This strike is bigger than one union, and bigger than one city. It’s a fight for every workers who’s been treated as less than, as disposable, as unimportant. All eyes on Philly, my friends. They’re striking for you, too.

The layers of racism and inhumanity are so deep. Also, this is 20% of the US population. Fantasizing about annihilating one fifth of the country. Sick shit.

To advance the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement priorities, the Republican budget bill is set to fund a substantial expansion of federal surveillance, with broad implications for the rights of all Americans. Dean Jackson and I spoke to experts about what to expect:

It’s ok and normal to be scared right now. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. It’s normal to feel anxiety right now. These are incredibly important things to feel in such momentous and intense times. It means you are correctly aware of the reality of the situation and the threat we face.

"Generational Philadelphians already embody collective access.This is a city where many everyday people – not just middle class transplants–never stopped masking on SEPTA, where people are not surprised by systems breaking down.where people share what they have."

In an incredible and historic interview, Lakota historian, writer, and scholar Nick Estes sat down with Leonard Peltier for an in-depth conversation— about Leonard’s origins with the Red Power movement and ultimately AIM, about the sinister tactics of the FBI, and about Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.

Was just reading a student's work on the criminalization of Black people w/ mental health conditions. Under "normal" times, the entanglement of the legal & the medical is a permission structure for disappearing Black folks from the public sphere & justifying their exploitation under incarceration.
