If reporters didn’t fight with editors how would they know we were still alive?

it’s not enough for cis straight people to support the LGBTQ community during Pride. we must also be ashamed

Revealed: AIEF, a charitable affiliate of pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, has spent millions on travel for lawmakers from both parties, even as voters’ support for Israel plummets

I have a new piece out Reflecting on 20 years of migrant struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; and how fascism is made through bordering. Despite resisting it for so long, I also now define the border.

NYPD set to hire 580 extra cops under Mayor Mamdani’s latest budget gothamist.com/news/nypd-se...

For @us.theguardian.com, I reported on how economic instability, skyrocketing costs of basic needs, and the job market are making it harder for young people to enter adulthood: "It’s never enough."

Governor Pritzker arrested far more folks at Broadview than the feds did. Arrests are designed to neutralize protesters until their cases are concluded, and to terrorize the ones they don’t arrest.

This Delaney Hall curfew likely violates both the U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions, and certainly violates them both by failing to exempt press. Press require sight and sound access to do their job. Think of them like a first responder, running to danger to keep public informed.

New Jersey State Police arrested 46 people last night within a half mile of the barricades outside Delaney after kettling them.

NJ state police tonight at Delaney Hall enforcing Gov. Sherrill’s “free speech zone” by seemingly kettling protesters and booting press

hard not to laugh when you see stuff this detached from reality

The Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women is withholding $150 million meant to help survivors of domestic violence. Gender-based violence service organizations across the country report radio silence on the status of applications, some submitted over a year ago.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill's mishandling of protests outside the Newark ICE detention center, with violent state troopers running amok, is a national embarrassment To make it worse, Sherrill invoked the vile "outside agitator" trope of 1960s segregationists My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

from Gov. Mikie Sherrill this morning, claiming “masked individuals” attacked police lacking “protective gear” who were on location since early am which is just … not plausible. tons of video and pics of shift changes and the consistent deployment of additional forces 6 pm onwards, including SWAT.

and the demands of the detained hunger and labor strikers—#1 being a meeting with Gov. Sherrill, followed by the release of all held inside Delaney—have gone unacknowledged while she, Sen. Andy Kim, and others say protesters attempting to block ICE operations are distracting from the detainees.

just re-upping. Newark and New Jersey governance are explicitly aiming to ease ICE operations at Delaney Hall. the dozens arrested and injured amid the protests outside are being depicted as “agitators.” this mimics what we’ve seen in many other Dem-run areas with anti-ICE protest/direct action.

It was a while before they imposed a curfew at Broadview. This is much faster. All eyes on Delaney.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced a curfew outside Delaney Hall for midnight amid many cops on the ground and a nightly street closure, with threat of charges for anyone attempting to remain

freedom of the press and freedom of assembly now require laboriously pantomimed air quotes

seeing reports of rubber bullets and tear gas with an absolute deluge of police forces at Delaney. for tue second night in a row, people are facing cops on charging horses. the governor said sending in state police was “deescalating” the situation.

New York City is the media capital of the country. Delaney Hall is nine miles from Manhattan. There is zero reason to not have wall to wall coverage of the hunger strike, the horrific conditions and ICE violence. The indie journalists need strength in numbers, and not just during business hours.

The benefit, we’re told, of corporate media is access to resources like equipment and vehicles but also lawyers, medical care in case things go south. Independent journos are literally putting their lives on the line, getting physically injured, but they’re somehow considered less respectable.

same at the municipal level. The NYPD doxxed the former Mayor's daughter as retaliation.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

Marisa is quote-posting footage of violence from state police sent in by Sherrill. the hunger strikers’ first demand is for an in person meeting with her — and when she announced her “deescalation” strategy it was from Ewing, over an hour away. didn’t even bother to head to Newark.

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

NEW: A likely hate crime in Chicago left a prominent trans science educator, @jeymccreight.bsky.social with severe injuries after a brutal late night beating. McCreight told @evanurquhart.bsky.social he's shaken but determined to continue his activism. CPD confirmed an ongoing investigation.

Absolutely amazing student reporting here by @thedailynu.bsky.social on Evanston Police violating city ordinances to go out of their way to assist ICE.

Mercado Media stream reports GEO group private security guards just fired "less lethal munitions" at protesters, in addition to those shot by ICE and state police. Three sets of aggressors.

A big project that I edited (my package editing debut) just launched today. Please give it a read and, if you're so inclined, support our work. Really proud of this. Thank you, also, to @grist.org for the support. discojourno.com/about-dja/dj...

seeing reports confirming this consistently including through active livestreams. some coverage made it sound like state cops taking over for ICE in the streets meant peace / at least less violence; it just means their strategy + repression is more organized than ICE’s slate of untrained agents.

Ultimately, it is Minnesotans who continue to keep each other safe—including through protest and other forms of resistance. We have done more to intervene on violence and hold ICE accountable than the police ever will.

The reality is that MPD arrested more people who played instruments outside of hotels than ICE agents who attacked, kidnapped, or broke into the homes of Minnesotans. This article confirms what we already felt, but it’s a must-read for anyone who showed up in my mentions to say “just call 911.”

at Delaney Hall on Wednesday, someone chalked Bobby Sands's name outside of the entrance to the ICE facility. wrote about his hunger strike (in the context of Irish-Palestinian solidarity) a few years ago, figured I'd share here:

"We won’t stop until they’re free:" outside New Jersey Delaney ICE facility where organizers face violent clashes with agents. Over 300 detainees are on hunger strike inside, with key demands: immediate release of all, quick adjudication of their cases, end to pressure from ICE to self-deport.

Rep. Pallone reports a woman detained at Delaney Hall suffered a miscarriage before being transferred out.

ICE camps: Law enforccement is being driven by investors & shareholders in the private labor camps run by Geo Group and CoreCivic. They run on the labor of detainees. "The privatization has escalated the barbarity & indecent & inhumane treatment."

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

PRESS: EYES ON THIS PLEASE @marisakabas.bsky.social @lexmcmenamin.com @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

cis people are so obsessed with hormones it's wild

within an hour of this moment—detainees inside and protesters and supporters outside communicating briefly with flashing lights—ICE began beating protesters with batons and pepper spraying them. some had to seek medical treatment. one was pushed into a 18 wheeler that then ran over their foot.

i was such an avid reader of stuff i did not even get CLOSE to understanding as a kid and all it did was make me read more, and ask more questions about the world. there's a concerted effort from almost every consolidated power on this planet to make people less curious!!!!

reporter still on the ground >>>

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

The Bagpipes of Palestine have arrived at Delaney Hall, and offers the crowd which has once again assembled at the south entrance a fiery speech:
