Boycott starts TODAY. No shopping at REI till after the 25th.

"...fascism is a cultural project. [ ] It is a cultural project of dehumanization and disposal. So we need a cultural project of our own, rooted in a proliferating sense of empathy and solidarity. One that insists that we are all worth caring for and fighting for." We are ALL worth fighting for.

“In wrenching interviews, Palestinians have recounted to me a pattern of widespread Israeli sexual violence against men, women and even children,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Fuck your chaotic news. I'm plover posting. 🪶

Regular reminder that we still need a lot of help in Minnesota and this is the best website to find out things you can do to help. (Though I also share fundraisers and such on here sometimes, I haven't been online as much lately.)

virginians, if you planned to vote in today’s election & have not already: don’t forget we have same day, in person registration AND if you’re 17 but will turn 18 before nov 3, you can register and vote today. (post from the charlottesville office of voter registration & elections)

I can vouch for Ahmed & family in Gaza (I provide esims so they have internet access). They urgently need help: their child was bit by a rat & needs antibiotics + sturdier tent to keep rats out. PLEASE any amt helps. Read the update from Ahmed & see the photo of his son’s cheek: gofund.me/cfd7553c3

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Has anyone studied the psychic toll of years spent waking up to the unhinged rantings of a vicious madman who could kill us all — and then going about one’s day per usual?

"Art is important not just because it makes us think and feel differently (which is critical), but also because it helps to disrupt patterns and old ways of thinking." Let's all make some art! Creating something nourishes our inner selves and helps us imagine a better world. (Alt text below)

How to Keep ICE Out of Your Devices at Airports If you’re traveling, follow these digital security practices to keep feds from getting into your phone. And remember: even if you think you have nothing to hide, take these steps so you don't endanger others. theintercept.com/2026/03/25/i...

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.

sending ICE to airports is meant as an act of intimidation. whether it’s well-planned or not, whether they’re masked or not, whether they’re trained or not—as with ICE anywhere, ICE will do whatever ICE can get away with, until they don’t

As someone who had a $22k "interest error" suddenly added to my balance last year, I strongly second this. Get all the data about your loans as you can. It took me almost a year to fix the error on my account.

Thanks to @wired.com for reporting what has been known by privacy advocates both in & out of Congress for weeks. Democratic Rep. Jim Himes is quietly whipping votes to help Trump and Kash Patel spy on Americans using ChatGPT. Absolutely shameful. 🤬 Call your Congressmembers and tell them hell no.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

I’ve added a new $1 paid tier for my newsletter on both Patreon and Ghost. The newsletter remains free on either platform, but with more than 10,000 subscribers and only a tiny fraction of paid supporters, a wave of $1 subscriptions would go a long way toward supporting this work.

NEW: After the Trump-Vance administration continued to combat repeated orders for her release, Leqaa Kordia — the final Columbia protestor still in ICE detenion — has just been RELEASED after a year in detention.

A reminder to authors: If your book was among the many titles pirated by Anthropic to train their AI, make sure to file your claim by March 30th. Your publisher will be filing, but my publishers tell me that the only way to *ensure* payment is by submitting your own valid claim. #AcademicSky 🧵1/n

A whole list of great articles from Sarah Kendzior. If you have not read any of her works this is a great place to start. You will be glad you did.

HERE IT IS: Earlier this month, without any planning, I drove 6 hrs to the desert to capture the last full lunar eclipse until December 2028 Over 3 hours I shot over 3000 stills, but not the stars Last Tuesday I drove 4 hrs to capture the stars After 30+ hrs figuring out editing, this is DONE 🧵

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

Republicans saying this is too transformational of a bill to do this year. I think every year is a good year to do transformational work -- otherwise what are we doing here? #waleg

Yet again @sarahkendzior.blsky.social lays it all for us. “The same families appear, again and again, in a transnational crime network that profits off war. …the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell, for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.”

Ding dong the bitch is gone; and I'll be glad not to see her butchered face any longer, but make no mistake the system remains. Do not let them distract you with a game of whack-a-mole. No rest until abolition. Of ICE. Of CBP. Of DHS. Of every system that is predicated on dehumanization.

Who do I know in San Diego? I will be there next week at the SDPL and I am afraid that I do not have enough people there. I will be talking about the Japanese American Incarceration, book bans, and what our current climate of censorship yields for us while simultaneous state sanctioned raids occur.

Read this 🧵 then read this book which is one of the best I've read, ever. Really and truly.

Dallas County voters, polling hours have been extended until 9 PM CT. If you're in line, stay in line! Your polling place may have changed since the last time you voted, and you MUST vote at your assigned precinct. Go to IWillVote.com/TX to find your polling place.

It’s such an American thing to talk about experiencing comfort and closure from committing war crimes against completely unrelated countries

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Poster's Madness was an absolute blast, and an incredible success! We raised over $15k for three mutual aid organizations, tripling our goal of $5k. You can still watch a replay of the stream, and if you haven't donated yet, you can still do so through the end of the day postersmadness.wordpress.com

very important video please watch

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Here's a little bit of art I created today. Thank you @prisonculture.bsky.social for shining your light & reminding us to hold onto our joy & resolve during these very hard days.

Came on here for a minute to look for something and immediately got waylaid, LOL. Before I log off, I did want to share this excellent toolkit by @detentionwatchnetwork.org with all of you who want to take action re: Federal warehouses: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Donald Trump, now chairing a so-called Board of Peace, has offered a dystopian vision for Gaza that leaves Palestinians under permanent Israeli occupation. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/2/20/trump_gaza

I remember this. As a gay kid a few years away from coming out, I remember feeling okay about being gay for the first time.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US illustrates the predatory practices & barriers that prevent people with multiple jobs to get & retain housing. I rooted so hard for the 5 Black families in Atlanta & hope they've finally found secure housing. Thank you @brian-goldstone.bsky.social for sharing their stories.
