A service I haven’t offered in a while: If you know someone who _would benefit from_ having someone explain immigration policy to them for an hour, or be here to ask questions, or whatever, hit me up via DM. “Would benefit” = not just “change my mind” but “actually work to inform/persuade others.”

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Macbeth: SHIT

Naseeruddin Shah showing the rest of Bollywood how not to be fascist bootlickers. 'student activists are held for years without trial but convicted rapists/murderers are frequently granted bail...cow vigilantes have a free hand to maim and kill...just how long can this hatred be sustained?'

US police arrested 12 anti-ICE protesters at Columbia University in New York. The demonstrators accuse the university of cooperating with immigration enforcement agents and are demanding the campus be declared a sanctuary.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

these conditions are horrifying. this is an amazing story of community organizing strategy and commitment, as well as another example of the criminalization of mutual aid @lataco.bsky.social

THREAD. A selection of notes I have made in my notebook about my dad, and the things he does. 1. The Public Swimming Pool

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

How did I not know this? I didn't know AEW wrestler Brody King is doing a fundraiser for Mpls families affected by ICE. By selling variant comics covers. With comics artist Daniel Warren Johnson. Who is a fellow Chicagoan? And has raised $58K so far and is still going! headlockedcomic.bigcartel.com

My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.

Actually, can we make a little short goal in the next day? They really need fold & winter supplies, especially for Seraj’s baby sister. 0/183

Really can’t be online but I’d appreciate some shares for this. Our friend Seraj was suspended from the bird app, and that’s where his only reach is. Usually we have zero capacity to help this family, but now they have no one & ZERO visibility whatsoever. This is a critical + priority need.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Pop singer Lorde will donate the $204,000 she made on merchandise sales from her sold-out Minneapolis shows last fall to two Minnesota immigrant rights groups.

An unimaginable life for a child, for a parent, for anyone. Please help if you can.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

“I’m so grateful for all the street medics and folks directing traffic out there yesterday, especially for the pets and kids and elders who were caught in the gas, and those of us who were retching and blinded.”

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani. This is what economic justice looks like. And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

#Incremental #reform is sometimes necessary. I get it. I've pushed for it. But reform w/o values—reform that's not rooted in a long-term vision of what's possible and a plan to get there—isn't reform. It's status quo maintenance. And it holds us back. #mustread www.prisonpolicy.org/trainings/ca...

I really love this essay by @prisonculture.bsky.social about David Ruggles and his NYC abolitionist bookstore, the first Black bookstore in the US, especially how it frames illiteracy as a form of oppression, and reading as collective action prisonculture.substack.com/p/prisons-pr...

In the #TwinCities #Minneapolis and #StPaul, protesters sing outside hotels that house ICE & Border Patrol: "It's okay to change your mind. Show us your courage. Leave this behind. It's okay to change your mind. And you can join us, you can join us anytime."

Must reading from immigration lawyer Elora Mukherjee. “From January to October 2025, at least 3,800 children under the age of 18, including 20 infants, were arrested and detained by U.S. immigration authorities.” Cruel and deplorable.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

ICE stalked an elderly woman who works in homecare for her grandchildren on her way to pay her rent. They stopped her, broke her car window, and roughed her up enough to cause a concussion, bruised ribs, and a torn rotator cuff. Then found her passport in her purse and fled. gofund.me/b7afaa65e
