"The camp consists of temporary tent structures meant to house up to 5,000 detainees and relieve overcrowding at other Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities."

Hey, friends in NYC! Come hang out with a buncha cool comics creators and fold zines and make posters to push back against ICE! A @handsoffnyc.bsky.social and @bkindivisible.bsky.social event at @anyonecomics.bsky.social in Brooklyn! It's gonna be a blast! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

In Flatbush, we put together a graphical whistle code card to reduce translation needs. Files are here if you want to adapt for your neighborhood. Outside NYC, just print front. We're doing mini whistles because we can 3d print them for 5-7¢ each. We keep us safe. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

The Democratic Party needs to change. Here in Brooklyn we've been organizing for years to kick out the old machine and transform the local party into the grassroots powerhouse it should be. 2026 could be the year we finally do it! But we'll need your help! Sign up for updates and become a member:

Here’s how we should all be reporting on the spurious claims from these agencies that have repeatedly been caught in lies and exaggerations:

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Gillibrand and Schumer’s voicemails still have room on their DC numbers! Took me 3 minutes!

Great @chicagotribune.com piece! Inside Chicago’s Growing Resistance Movement By Andrew Carter @andrew-carter.bsky.social

Flaming Hydra is a coop. All you can do with your share is sell it back to the coop (for $1), and nobody can have more than one. You have to be ready for growth to take a long time. Journalism is a public trust that should be accountable to readers alone, and that means readers alone pay for it.

Now singing: I don't know but I been told ICE takes kids at six years old Say it loud and say it clear, Immigrants are welcome here Something bout this isn't right Why does Broadview work for ICE?

This is *delightful* journalism. Read all the way through the update. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

We're just past 3000 letters now! And I did make good on my promise. I'll be emailing raffle winners tomorrow. Please keep sharing the letter if you live in NYC [after signing one yourself].

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

IT'S NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN" IF THEY ARE HARMING AND KIDNAPPING AND TERRORIZING PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. IT'S RACISM AND INTIMIDATION.

FUCK UP THE SYSTEM ALERT: Southerners on New Ground is organizing a Grocery Solidarity Network for folks in the South. You can sign up to be a grocery deliverer/funder or grocery recipient. I signed up to support Central Texans, you can do the same for your area! www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

New Yorkers if this doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.

If you are going to solicit pieces from experts with a voice, let them use their voice. Your job as an editor is to help the writer be clear in the translation from thought to page. And know when to get out of the way. 🧵👇

New graffiti art in my Rogers Park, Chicago, neighborhood.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars: 1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

In contrast, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 's campaign is closing with community and pluralist joy. I canvassed today and so many people we met on the street looked at our Mamdani materials and broke out into smiles. It's the polar opposite of what Dean Obeidallah writes about in this great essay.

The truest thing anyone has ever said On Here is @prisonculture.bsky.social's bang-on statement that most Americans simply do not know what's going on. And people continue to equate "illegal" with "impossible." (If you doubt that, read my mentions.)

This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

I can't think of anything to say

that’s a great mayor right there. pets a cat like no problem

Happy Cat Making Biscuits in a Crinoline Day to all who celebrate!

Gutting testimonials from Walmart and Amazon workers about what the loss of SNAP benefits will mean for them

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

The allegations are bad. Bad bad. The worst part IMHO is the guards celebrating the cruelty.

A propos of nothing, but if you live in NYC, and this kind of story inspires you, there are groups accompanying neighbors to immigration court *every day of the week.* You can join! I accompany with @newsanctuarynsc.bsky.social, but there are other groups doing this work. 1/?

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

When they come for people for resisting ICE, it all gets very simple very quickly. Either we're all on the same side, or you're a dickhead.

If you are not at risk it is your civic duty to tell these guys they are embarrassing worms if you see them patrolling a supermarket to arrest people that the government is intentionally starving

If you have an elderly neighbor; a single mom ; a family with lots of kids in your neighborhood then check in with them. Food shows love. If you have extra fruit , send some over to them . Maybe make a little too much chicken or spaghetti….. sharing is caring .

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

The Regime is now threatening Social Security and Medicare if the government shutdown doesn’t end. Reminder that Republicans have the power to end the shutdown at ANY TIME. They simply do not care to do so.

There's so much being recalled and there's no newsletter coming out due to the shutdown. Check this and see if you have any of these in your kitchen. If so, throw them out or see if you can get a refund if you can.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

We are moving closer to 2000 letters... 1440 for now...

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

yep and points 3 and 4 are explicitly about throwing a whole bunch of my friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones under the bus, so fuck this.

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Great framing.

UC alumni like me: here’s the regent email address. [email protected]

Yeah this is completely deranged. Among other things: - a billion dollar payment - Much more aggressive anti-diversity rules than required by law, including arguably forbidding stuff the Supreme Court explicitly said was permissible in SFFA (Cont)

I'm going to remind you that Cuomo killed a bunch of people and then covered it up. And that his sexual harassment lawsuits have cost the state 60 million dollars

good morning, I can't stop thinking about how 34,000 of my neighbors are going to lose access to SNAP in a week.
