How did we get to the point where police body cams are deemed “best practice” when the # of civilians whom police have killed has only *increased each year* since the widespread adoption of the equipment? Tamar Sarai explains the body cam propaganda & who stands to benefit from “reform narratives”⤵️

Part of criminalization is denying care to targeted groups of people, such as immigrants. Please check out our Beyond Do No Harm network for healthcare workers who want to help interrupt criminalization!

Prisons and jails are deathmaking institutions.

#A2Council as folks at Michigan Medicine get some dire guidance from the institution on dealing with ICE... I'm reminding folks that @interruptcrim.bsky.social has compiled the Beyond Do No Harm toolkit, a number of tools and resources for keeping your patients and communities safe.

Over 1,000 prosecutors are set to be elected in 2026—and our new review identifies the counties that are emerging as early hotspots. boltsmag.org/crimina...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

TUES NIGHT! Historian & professor Jeanne Theoharis will discuss her latest book, King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life of Struggle Outside the South, w/our co-founder Mariame Kaba. This is in Manhattan & will also be livestreamed. You must register to attend either way; click here:

In the wake of the horrific ICE killings in Minnesota, many prominent Democrats have called for ICE to wear body cameras. Yesterday, @equalityalec.bsky.social talked to @democracynow.org about how important it is that we don't get distracted by meaningless & counterproductive reforms.

Paper details how police pushed for body cams so that they could protect themselves and control narrative while policing and surveilling more aggressively. Dems allied w cops to create narrative that this was somehow a corrective for state violence, now every time they kill they get more $$/power

Trump said starting Feb. 1 he will deny federal funding to states with local governments resisting his administration’s immigration policies.

"At Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, nurses publicly expressed outrage over what they saw as hospital cooperation with ICE and the flouting of patient rights. ... [N]umerous patients were brought to the hospital by ICE with serious injuries they sustained while being detained."

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

"An embrace of policing and the kind of authoritarian politics behind them is an element of convergence between the center-left and the far right. They just both believe in handing money to the people with guns," says @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2059...

We are in solidarity with everyone striking today. Our Block It! mini toolkit is a great source of other actions you can take to disrupt ICE:

"ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump." "More than 6x rise in ICE detention of children under Trump." "It's only a matter of time before we see a child die within Dilley or another facility." #USA #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

"I always think about prison industrialization complex abolition as a vision of a restructured society, basically in a world where we have everything that we need," says our co-founder Mariame Kaba in this interview.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back. Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

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

See our Block It, Don't Build It toolkit—an invitation to join efforts already in motion in your community and across the country to disrupt the ICE kidnapping, detention, and deportation machine: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Some of the most generative grounded rigorous & inspired conversations I've had since Nov 2024 have been w/ people who've been reading #PracticingNewWorlds together - from @prisonculture.bsky.social's class to @davidkaib.bsky.social & @upendmovement.org's book clubs...1/3 bit.ly/PracticingNewWorlds

“Getting rid of qualified immunity won't get rid of police violence. The only way to do that is to stop funding, arming, empowering, & legitimizing them.”

"With Congress-approved funding, ICE detention is expected to triple in size, mirroring the scale of Japanese internment." #AbolishICE

Add "HIPAA violations" to the list of ICE atrocities. #AbolishICE

This week on social media, some people have been talking about qualified immunity. Scroll through to see why we don’t think it’s something our movement should demand. #AbolishICE #DefundPolice #AbolitionNow

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

"[TAC], aligned ideologically with right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation ... began to exploit rare, high-profile murders committed by people with psychiatric diagnoses to sell their model involuntary outpatient commitment legislation to states. They rebranded the process as AOT."

"People often tell me I hold one of the best jobs an incarcerated person can have at New Jersey State Prison. But I don’t share that sentiment. While I’m sitting in the back of the classroom, red pen in hand, grading a stack of papers, I feel overworked and underpaid."

The exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park have been removed amid pressure from the Trump admin www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle. No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.

Eight minutes matters. A pulse matters. Denied medical care matters. Doctors don’t speak out like this for politics or optics. They speak out when a line is crossed, when an oath is violated, when someone who could have been helped is instead left to die. It’s utterly vile they have to do this.

8th circuit gives ICE go ahead to use force against peaceful demonstrators, a decision which will immediately lead to injury.

New resource⚡️ Block it! Don’t Build It. Don’t Fill It. Don’t Fuel It. A mini-toolkit to take action to slow down and disrupt the government’s kidnapping, detention, and deportation machine. Info on strategies/tactics, ways to take action, and more: www.interruptingcriminalization.com/block-it

The US is hosting the World Cup this year, and the Olympics in 2028, though people of color are so obviously being targeted at the border (and elsewhere).

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
