These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

There are raids going all over Los Angeles. I just saw video of ICE chasing some guy through the parking lot of my local supermarket.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

“YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.”

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

executions in the street.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

If simply acknowledging the FULL history of this country makes you uncomfortable imagine how those on the shit end of the stick feel. Then tuck in your main character feels and get to work. Like the rest of us are.

what a catch

Nofuckingway omg

Being required to present proof of citizenship to someone not required to present proof they're actually law enforcement is one hell of a dichotomy

Coretta Scott King’s vision shaped Martin Luther King Jr.’s politics and the broader freedom struggle, says historian Jeanne Theoharis.

How are there still 2 minutes remaining in the 1st quarter?

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

welp…

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

What a sad, enraging, upsetting day. I hope that child and her partner are somewhere safe and surrounded by loved ones.

We don't have to live like this.

Someone asked me to comment on the anniversary of Jan 6. I will consider having comments on it….should it ever end. We are very much still reaching for the nadir of this reclamation. No time yet for historicizing it. Still trying to survive it.

Lordt this game

This is insane This is completely insane

Whew. That Mamdani has an exceptional speechwriter and is one of the most compelling politicians I’ve seen.

Standing in line at cvs—in pain—waiting for meds after just having a tooth pulled. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was next in line behind me. I must have looked miserable because he said to me: “I hope they call your name soon.”

Fantastic thread❤️‍🔥

A thing I'd recommend is taking some time to write a letter to you in six months. Screw a new years resolution: resolve what kind of citizen you'll be in 2026. Making your decisions now helps in the moment when things will seem confusing. Write down your road map: what is good and valuable?

60 Minutes is one of only two documentary-style public affairs programs left on the air. The other is Frontline on PBS, which saw its funding gashed by the Trump admin and Congress. They have a matching donation rn. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

Sister Jean and Ranger Betty gone in the same year. Get your rest. Thank you.

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

“It was a once-in-a-generation cash injection designed to prioritize extraction-based communities as part of the energy transition... So to have it all taken away is deeply damaging and demoralizing.” via @us.theguardian.com / @climatedesk.org

If you haven’t read “The Barn” by Wright Thompson, add it to your reading list. It’s about the murder, the barn and the legacy of silence that protects the guilty.

why is chris collinsworth?

Devastating essay about living with a terminal cancer diagnosis at 35, made more devastating by the author's relation to the health and human services secretary who's spent the past year cutting cancer research.

May her memory be for a revolution. May it deepen our commitments. May her example sharpen our politics. May her life remind us that disability justice is a practice of transforming the world through collective care, accountability, creativity, defiance and imagination.

Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life
