ICE flights. Thursday, May 14, 2026.

As someone who lettered in football at a major SEC program (misleading but true, it’s long story, I never played), basket weaving is not only harder than people think, it’s also more useful for society than coaching football by a factor of infinity

#OtD 12 May 1916 socialist and Irish republican James Connolly was executed for his part in the Easter Rebellion, an unsuccessful insurrection against British rule. As he was wounded in the fighting, he faced the firing squad tied to a chair stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7737...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

“I will not live to have another hearing. After two 15-year denials, why would I even bother going?” 78-y/o Betty Broderick told @theappeal.org in March. “The Board has turned my 15-to-life conviction into the death penalty without any due process." She died last week. theappeal.org/incarcerated...

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

Utterly absurd. The only thing that has won in my adult life is convincing people you’re the change candidate. It’s not an ‘upshot’ to say to voters you won’t do anything radical. That’s actually horrendous advice.

No.

Libs let this radicalize you.

Constitutional change is not “extra institutional”. Unless you mean a new constitutional convention or something?

Didn’t someone tell me to vote harder when things don’t go your way? Was that you centrist normie Ds? Why not vote hard enough to overcome these maps? Oh sometimes voting is insufficient? You don’t say.

DMDM (@dmdmmutualaid on IG) are raising funds to send 200 tourniquets to Lebanon on our upcoming shipment. Just $15 can get a tourniquet into the hands of medics and help save lives.

ICE's planned Williamsport, Md., detention facility hits another snag: a consulted tribe has requested additional information on ground disturbances, contractor KVG LLC has yet to produce those plans. Also, ICE acknowledges the project does require a full Environmental Assessment, after all.

#OtD 6 May 1933 Nazis raided the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin. It was a pioneering org which supported LGBT rights, and equality for women. It employed numerous trans workers and pioneered gender affirmation surgery. Its library was then burned stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1064...

The newest installment of our 'Anarchists in the Tenant Movement' series. 🌆 🚩🏴 This time with Espy, a tenant organizer in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah involved in building nascent campaign at a mobile home park. www.blackrosefed.org/anarchists-t...

Iran has damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures and pieces of equipment across 15 U.S. military sites in the Middle East since the war began Feb. 28, far more than the U.S. has acknowledged.

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. 🧵

When do you take a moment to honor the people abused and killed by the NYPD?

NEW: Israel has banned Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from working with Palestinians in Gaza & the occupied West Bank. Despite this ban, MSF says it “remains committed to providing services in Palestine” & has resumed medical activities at Nasser Hospital. UR visited MSF's Gaza HQ in January. 🎥

People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

Regular reminder that forensic ‘science’ is nearly entirely junk science.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

So the list of important resources being choked off by the war against Iran are: oil/gas, fertilizer, aluminum, diesel/jet fuel, and helium. Helium is the one I was unaware of until recently. Anything else?? jfc

Me: “I can’t get enough of My Cousin Vinny, especially the scene where he talks about everything that’s piling on the outcome of the case. lolol” Life: Oh you think it’s funny to see a person under that much pressure do you… hmm.

Rojava Theory 1) To be free, we need to destroy the nation-state system 2) To destroy the nation-state, we need to smash capitalism 3) To smash capitalism, we need to dismantle patriarchy 4) Dismantling patriarchy is a long, hard historical process - but let’s start by arming all the women with AKs

#OtD 20 Apr 1915 Maria Silva Cruz, heroine of the Casas Viejas uprising, was born into a family of day labourers and charcoal burners. She was the sole survivor when Republican civil guards burned the house of the rebels stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9244...

#OtD 17 Apr 1943 Black students from @HowardU staged a sit-in at a segregated restaurant in Washington DC. One of the organisers of this and other sit-ins in the city at the time was Pauli Murray, who identified as part male and part female stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8851...

#OtD 17 Apr 2014 Spanish machinist, anarchist and Civil War fighter, Concha Perez Collado, died aged 99. She took part in jail breaks, insurrectionary strikes, the Civil War, the May Days and helped rebuild the @CNTsindicato after Franco's death stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8855...

Baltimore deserves so much better than this fuckshit mayoral administration.

Baltimore's community fridge network could use some love, especially the ones on the West Side. Please consider filling them up. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

"I remember at some point marching with the anarchists past this construction site. And a whole bunch of us picked up this fence, these couple of sections of fence and charged the police line. It was so wild, the cops running away from us!" crimethinc.com/a16

Last month in The Onion:

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

Good morning. Reporting to you live from hell. This used to be $1.99 last summer …

These are death camps. I don’t know what else you can call it when they industrially warehouse massive numbers of people without life sustaining necessities.

🧊✈️ VENEZUELA ⛓️🌎 👉 MESA CLEANOUT⁉️ In the wake of multiple reports of overcrowding and unsanitary conditions at the ICE Mesa facility, a widebody Omni 777 (tail: N819XA) departs Arizona early on Wednesday morning, transporting chained humans to Caracas 🇻🇪

Earlier today, the Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee heard public testimony on S.1095, yet another anti-abortion bill. They capped public testimony at just 20 people. Only 20 voices allowed to speak on a bill that would impact thousands across our state.

Avg ppl fixating on the idea that a (more) authoritarian takeover is impossible or alarmist may be some coping mechanism. Political writers who have been publishing articles & opinion pieces downplaying the threat weekly for 10 years is not coping. It’s their participation in a political project.

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

Apple Maps appears to have removed the names of all villages in southern Lebanon. This is the exact area Israel is currently trying to occupy.

This is why you should never, ever stan a politician. Also: there are a lot of disturbing replies challenging the integrity of the woman who has come forward, and I really want to urge all of you to remember: People you love, who have been in similar situations, can see your replies.

I know AOC is better positioned within the D establishment, but I’d prefer a Cori Bush presidency over AOC a million times over

"Put plainly, in a single year, 540 Black children were killed by abuse and neglect. That is more than ten children every week. Every week! And yet we are still fucking debating whether hitting children is harmful." drstaceypatton1865.substack.com/p/if-you-hit...
