This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd of hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and other Jews have gathered outside ICE headquarters in DC for the largest ever Jewish protest against ICE’s violence and crimes. #jewsagainstICE

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”

Resistance to the building of concentration camps is of the utmost importance. Salute to every person doing their part to say not in my community.

I'm near certain this was Melbourne Bergerak, a student and diaspora progressive group in Melbourne. How cool! www.instagram.com/p/DUjqTSiE2e...

Been playing this for review. As a South African, I am so glad it's out soon. Not only is it a fantastic heist game, but it's genuinely educational, balancing celebrating Africa's history with righteous condemnation of colonialism. My full review will be up later this week. Well done @nyamakop.co.za

I convinced my friends parents to do this and they got their cameras almost 6 years ago

There's this recurring question that comes up in RPG spaces among people looking for design inspiration. "What genre hasn't been done as a RPG?" And the answer is clear to you when you encounter a game like Alone With the Fucked Up Guy Looking At You. "Almost all of them."

This one is made by the excellent @silkandstone.itch.io and here TPK means Total Personal Katabasis, so you KNOW it's good. I played a paranoid criminal personality who thought everyone was out to GET US. At one point our detective ate a raw potato. Very fun!

More McIver (D-NJ) to ICE chief at today's hearing: -"How do you think Judgment Day will work for you, with so much blood on your hands?" -"Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?" -"How many government agencies are you aware of that routinely kill American citizens and still get funding?"

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

San Francisco teachers in Bayview this morning, holding yellow, red, & black signs reading "Students need fully staffed, stable schools" and chanting "U-E-S-F!" Schools remain closed across the city. Teachers are moving from morning pickets to a noon rally at Dolores Park.

i think about this quote about Nightmare at 20,000 Feet all the time (so often that i literally put it on the Fucked Up Guy Jam page)

Look I’m just gonna use this the next time I teach DIE

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

after the 2020 uprising the political and financial elites of amerika were so frightened by the mere specter of Black power they obliterated African American politics to the point you can now ban black history month and its just a write up in local news

A neighbor asked me if I knew where to get a free whistle. I asked for a bunch from @dansinker.com's whistle crew and put bowls of them out at my workshop and apt courtyard, and my neighbors are taking them and we're talking together about anti-ICE actions.

Link kept popping up in my feed and I'm glad I finally clicked it! The world needs more weird short stories!

The US food system is highly dependent on the exploitation of immigrant labor from farms to processing plants - the trump administration is ratcheting up unjust policies that have been developed through decades. These workers are showing amazing courage under terrible circumstances.
