Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

13 months of breakneck grift, theft, cruelty, and ducking of responsibility. Fixed it for you.

Had a lovely, heartfelt conversation w/a student today as we unpacked a heavy concept. Shared vulnerability around intellectual exploration & critical discernment. Plus she managed to quote Bryan Stevenson quoting Rosa Parks from a class last semester. Teaching achievement unlocked.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal. Then we must show up in greater numbers. BE UNGOVERNABLE.

If I could, I would strongly encourage every member of Congress, every 'barely invited' justice on the Supreme Court, to make other plans for Tuesday evening.

Look past the f bomb to see that Trump is big mad because SCOTUS has taken away the most effective tool he has in extorting rich people and the corporations they own.

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

what I want people to feel, when they look at South Korea and the UK and Brazil holding elites accountable, is that it's possible here too. Elect true leaders this year and in 28, empowered - but also driven by us, the people - to hold the criminals accountable for their crimes. It's possible.

Hey, @NPR, the former prince didn't "sleep with an underage girl." He raped a child who had been trafficked to him.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Important read.

Random: when I was a little baby director, freshly arrived in NYC, I worked on a scene with two actresses for a workshop. We rehearsed one day at the apartment of Actress A's cousin. It was huge and spacious; the cousin was traveling. There was an Academy Award on the mantelpiece. (1)

"The Crime of Witness" by Fintan O’Toole in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social "The videos that expose the administration’s mendacity about its own use of extreme violence against peaceful dissent are themselves products of the courage to show up [and] see for yourself." www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

On The Pitt, Dr Al-Hashimi is confronted with several massive errors from her genAI medical transcription program that delayed vital care for a patient, and dismisses them as nothing to worry abt as long as you double check. The perfect distillation of AI boosterism. AI is great even when it isn't.

She thinks that the white supremacist patriarchy with which she has aligned herself won't eventually come for her, too.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

The reason we do mutual aid & the reason why mutual aid is grounded in anticapitalist theory from a long time is that capitalism says your survival depends on what you can do for people. We say, no you deserve to survive by virtue of your humanity. If you can't produce, we will help you survive.

Collective work, collective responsibility. Ujima.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

This is a winning message and I sincerely hope the Trump administration continues to deploy it every time this topic comes up in public

So glad Liam and his father are home. Now, the rest of the families, please.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

"Are you okay?" "I'm not mad at you, dude."

Buffalo, come stand in solidarity with Minneapolis. 8 pm ET.

"Alex was murdered while he was helping."

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Jack Smith: "Trump was charged bc the evidence established he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold... After leaving office, Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club... highly sensitive natl security info was held in a ballroom & bathroom."

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

I want #IceOut of all the cities and towns and places where kittens and cats live with their hoomans, no matter where they were born. And if you ask me, I think #ICEhasLice #AbolishICE #DefundICE #ShutDownICE #cats #catsofbluesky
