Yet another example of why carceral construction is a moral & financial failure: It wastes billions of dollars and drains community resources, all while expanding criminalization.

The Trump regime is swiftly making lists of trans children from all over the country and you'd have to be an utter fool not to see why.

Trump is threatening to eliminate the people of Iran overnight. Years of normalizing genocidal rhetoric and mass violence has brought us to this cataclysmic moment.

Its in the Doonesbury font so you know it's scathing political criticism.

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954. Today they voted to bring it back — exclusively for Palestinians.

Like if another candidate for office put me in this advertisement I would probably say something.

Dr Oz inviting ol Jeffrey to his V Day bash in 2016

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments. For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

“The problem here is that people are stuck in a fantasy of liberal legal formalism that imagines that police are accountable to the public," Alex Vitale, the author of The End of Policing, told me.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

for no reason, thinking back to Occupy and the behind-the-scenes work undertaken by some folks to ensure media didn’t always keep calling the same available white guy…

all transphobia is now epstein coded. anytime someone tells me we need to protect women’s sports, i’m calling in a neighborhood raid, and seizing their laptops for evidence. my only response to transphobia is now “you sound like jeffrey epstein”

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I saw it too:

Trump tweeted a photo of Ilhan Omar next to the Twin Towers burning, in his first term. They threatened to lynch her. And her child. And what did the Democrats do? They threw Omar to the wolves because she criticized Netanyahu and the Israel lobby.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Holy fuck they actually did it

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

"Donald Trump has promised to arrest me and disappear me permanently. Armed thugs are currently dragging me to the gulag. I am being brutally beaten even as I type Where is this energy when it comes to egg prices?" —Dem leaders, I guess.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

A right to strike bill will be introduced in 2026 to grant K-12 school staff and teachers as well as public library workers the legal right to go on strike. Send a letter to your state reps to urge them to support this bill: gbdsa.org/R2Sletter

Baltimore County teachers want the right to strike. Could legislation make it happen?

I'm so tired man. I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman. There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

re: WB-Netflix physical media is more important than ever and it should be accessible to people everywhere. Baltimore has had a nonprofit video store for year’s now, and one of its co-founders @ericallenhatch.bsky.social wrote about how it can be replicated www.patreon.com/posts/24007106

We call on all people to escalate BDS campaigns to burry the colonial Trump-Netanyahu plan — as many colonial projects have been defeated before.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

///BREAKING/// Judge Jeffrey Cummings orders that by noon of Nov. 17, he will order the release of all of the 615 "Operation Midway Blitz" detainees identified as class participants (at least those still here in the country) once they pay a $1,500 bond.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

NEW: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document 404 Media obtained. Photos taken by the app are stored for 15 years, including of U.S. citizens. We've published the full document here: www.404media.co/you-cant-ref...

Since the “ceasefire,” Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians, including a 9 year old Palestinian child in the West Bank, shooting him in the head. Netanyahu’s new strikes in Gaza killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children. This is genocide. www.qasimrashid.com/p/israel-exe...

So they have hundreds of millions just lying around that they’ll never miss to give to the government programs immediately, is what they’re announcing

Actual Voters have takes so much wilder than anyone online could imagine

Not letting aid in means the genocide is still ongoing.

a corner rally where you dance around for hours does not take much from your opposition, but it takes multiple hours from you, maybe exhausts you, too. does this need to be a half dozen people, or a dozen, or more?
