Up late… thinking bout the massage therapist who got away…

"the greatest social desensitization laboratory ever" That is exactly what it is.

Sheryl Cole, one of the Texas Democrats who broke quorum:

Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier is suing over "illegal confinement" after Republicans locked her in the state Capitol for refusing police surveillance

Amanda Trebach, a member of Unión del Barrio and an ICU nurse, was monitoring ICE operations in the Los Angeles area when she was targeted and arrested herself. Video of the scene shows masked agents in plainclothes forcing her to the ground and briefly kneeling on her head.

A shocking investigation, published in August 2024, revealed a well-funded, right-wing campaign to criminalize homelessness across the country. It’s a cruel and counterproductive effort, and looking at where we are today, it’s working. 1/10

Ideal scenario: You are close with a couple who are friends with you (also a couple) and live in the city. You and your partner live in a lovely home in a more rural, idyllic setting. Every month, you do a weekend house swap with your city friends - they get a country vacay, you get city fun! 👌🏻

“People dare to be comfortable with uncertainty if they are in solidarity with each other… There is almost no limit to what we can do for the sake of each other.” Rest in power, Joanna Macy💔 truthout.org/articles/lea...

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

For 30+ days, ICE has invaded communities & snatched people—immigrants & citizens alike—throughout LA. As the city remains under siege, disability & immigrant rights advocates reshape outreach to protect disabled immigrants, ‪@andreagtrrz.bsky.social‬ reports. prismreports.org/2025/07/14/l...

How do they manage to ruin EVERY day? Every single day I find out about something new that pisses me off

A great help in working out how best to stop them in your county is this great collection, The Jail is Everywhere: Fighting the New Geography of Mass Incarceration:: www.versobooks.com/products/303...

What they're going to do to immigrants is horrendous enough, but this should be understood more broadly. They've just built a police state that is larger than most country's militaries. The DOJ said de-naturalization is its priority. ICE doesn't need warrants. This is Trump's secret police force.

need the universe to strike this entire administration down in the most cartoonishly evil ways

Heard a fellow journalist wonder aloud this week why lefty religious leaders aren’t associated with politics like the right. I cover protests from all sides, but I am also the only reporter or one of the only reporters at these lefty events — even when they’re big! religionnews.com/2025/06/10/f...

PERIOD

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

Sharing this for no special reason: In July 1933, a New York Times reporter toured Dachau and saw the entire camp "except possibly the disciplinary cells." According to the reporter, "it was an almost idyllic picture of a rest camp," though the inmates were "gloomy" (h/t @monospace.com)

GET 👏🏻 THIS 👏🏻 SHIT 👏🏻 OUTTA CHICAGO 👏🏻 ISTG!!!!!!!!

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

HYFR

me looking at all the pride events going on and thinking about the energy it would take to rally and actually Go Out

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

I’m heading full tilt towards a mental breakdown! haha!!!!! I love it here!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELP !

do you know how fucked up it is that cooling/warming centers close on weekends/national holidays?!?!? we need to pass actual legislation around protecting our communities during climate crises because I promise you the heat waves will only get worse

Extreme heat is the number one weather related cause of death. It's a silent killer for older adults, in certain diseases, socially isolated without AC, and more. Help Chicago save lives and develop heat policies and programs by taking this survey: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Paid past due bill and paid $240 to get my car from the tow! Support would be so appreciated Venmo and Cashapp: HeyStarrBanks Also got gigs this weekend you can come and kii down at! 🏳️‍⚧️⭐️

I really hate that being off my phone and disconnected from 24hr news made me so much more regulated and grounded and not at a baseline code red level anxiety ugh

I cannot* fucking believe that masked militia men are kidnapping people, separating families, assaulting bystanders, refusing to show ID, locking out congresspeople, “arresting” US citizens, and deporting community members and more than half the country is just like “well, what can you do!” *can 😞

While many mayors of major U.S. cities claim to oppose ICE — and have even implemented formal “sanctuary city” policies — local police often act as a “force multiplier” for ICE, even when they aren’t directly involved in detaining migrants. Co-published with @economichardship.bsky.social

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

After a decade of successfully fighting against a large detention center in the Midwest, ICE has started detaining immigrants at North Lake in Michigan, a 1800-bed former privately operated federal prison that shuttered under Biden in 2022. www.interlochenpublicradio.org/2025-06-17/b...

Whether in scrubs or hard hats, immigrant workers are sent the same message: Stay quiet, don’t organize, don’t resist, Susan Naranjo writes. ICE tried to make an example out of David Huerta. Now is the time for unions to stand up for immigrant workers. prismreports.org/2025/06/16/d...

I can’t describe how useless all my little attempts to help people feel in the face of fascism. As soon as we complete materials, trainings, and support systems around what is happening, everything changes. What we actually need to be doing is [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]

If you were assaulted by CPD downtown tonight or witnessed brutality and would like to report anonymously, you can message us on Signal at unraveled.66

The airlines also sold our data to ICE. Jesus.

Some of history’s worst atrocities can be attributed to certain people trying to control other people’s movements, whether by capturing them, enslaving and transporting them, or warehousing them in besieged regions while blocking the borders of anyplace to which they might want to flee.

i wrote about how therapists are hearing more deportation concerns during sessions. one mental healthcare worker in philly told me a patient shared that their child hides every time they hear sirens because they think it's an ICE raid:

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

ICE raids in Los Angeles are a declaration of war, & Angelenos are primed for battle, @tinavasquez.bsky.social writes in an op-ed. Immigration & Customs Enforcement sent the city a message when its agents showed up in full force, & that message was responded to in kind by the people of LA.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…

Another world is possible if we fight for it.
