Anaya, Meghna, and I came out to the ICE Processing Center in Adelanto, CA with a large group of people. Folks came out 100 miles from all over Los Angeles to serenade the detainees. #abolishICE

Ms Rachel talking to Deiver Henao, a 9yo in an immigration detention center www.instagram.com/reel/DVzUzoz... What a world

🧊✈️ SEATTLE: Women in chains descend in driving rain from an ICE-chartered Eastern 737 (tail: N917XA) at Boeing Field 👀

24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this. I go no responses from anyone I reached out to. Guess they're all fine with comments like this!

#virtualCCFest will feature a great list of workshops from an amazing group of educators, incl @theartofmissy.bsky.social, @sairamved.com, @munusshih.bsky.social, @julienv3ga.bsky.social, Stig Møller Hansen, M DeNardo, & Lee Tusman. Checkout all the details at ccfest.rocks/register.

the CCFest keynote speaker lineup always being spectacular...thats right

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate for women in the world. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we're thinking of all the women locked behind bars, away from their families. They can't get lost in the fight to end mass incarceration.

This is a much clearer and smarter take on what is happening in Bangladesh right now than I am seeing elsewhere.

A friend sent this last night and I recommend it too

We went out to visit California City Detention Center and found a whole new fleet of vehicles waiting in the lot. @lataco.bsky.social

Welcome to #DuboisChallenge2026 where the #dataviz community is encouraged to re-create visuals from the Paris Expo of 1900. This years theme is "Maps". This thread will introduce each image (see: github.com/ajstarks/dub...)

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and around the world! May this blessed month bring peace, hope, and renewal ❤️

Its wild that in both NY and California taxing the rich is a fringe idea. Taxing the rich might be the only way to save the country. How do you take any dem that does not want to tax the rich seriously? This has to become part of the litmus test.

#virtualCCFest is back on Saturday, March 21. As usual, amazing keynotes and workshops on creative coding. More details to come at ccfest.rocks/register where you can register now, which will give you access to the event and the archive of sessions. You can also donate to cover costs. See you!

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I went to college with Aliya. Here, she speaks to Congress about being assaulted by ICE in Minneapolis, pulled violently out of her car, and taken to detention, where she blacked out. "You have no reason to believe you will make it out alive if you already being called a body."

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Out today in Pacoima, CA talking to businesses about how to protect their employees and clients from ICE with folks from the Democratic Socialist of America. Meghna and Anaya out with me, learning and handing out pamphlets. #AbolishICE

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

got emotional thinking about wikipedia again

On this day in 1991, the Supreme Court held that formerly segregated schools could be released from prior integration orders, despite evidence schools were resegregating.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

Some pics from today’s rally in LA. A beautiful day with some beautiful people #fuckice #abolishice #iceoutofla

Zac Kinney shared this photo from the second of two ICE deportation flights at MSP today - one of the 47 deportees was still in their Amazon uniform. (I counted 127 deportees on the first flight)

Consensus reality has been under assault by Trumpism and by tech for years now. But it's important to underline that people are still putting their lives on the line because they believe it matters. www.theverge.com/policy/85905...

Here's the full moment of silence including a fan yelling "Go home, ICE"

Defunding the police was always a good idea. The bipartisan rejection of it helped lead us to where we are now. Until we recognize its necessity, we will continue our downward spiral. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-conseq...

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

This is how ICE agents responded after watching a mother of three bleed out in her car after they shot her multiple times in the head.

The Department of Homeland Security released a Maryland woman who was held for 25 days despite evidence that her lawyers say proves she was born in the United States and is a citizen.

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them." (Published Oct. 2025)

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

CCFest is turning 10! I wrote a short recap of 2025 (two virtual CC Fests, two Teacher Training Camps, amazing collaborators) and a look ahead to 2026—including ideas for a 10-year celebration. #virtualCCFest #CCFestTeacherCamp 🔗 sustaining-boursin-d41.notion.site/CC-Fest-2025...

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Intolerable to spend even one more minute under this, to see my neighbors grappling with living under this, to make the little practical concessions and plans it requires. countless little tragedies all over the city

Nyt finds a new bigot to rehabilitate

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Rick people in California are some of the most under taxed people on the planet

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
