BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

Just two Barbies who hate mediocrity. #AngelReese

This worksheet includes content adapted from our Mapping Community Ecosystems of Collective Care toolkit, and also incorporates lessons and ideas from activists and organizers from around the country, including LA and DC. You can check out the toolkit on our website here:

Edward Said noted, "I want to communicate with clarity on as many levels as possible, to as many different audiences... I do not ever want to be accused of saying one thing to my people, and a totally different thing to others. I am trying to say the same thing everywhere." Mobility and strength!

Reporters from across newsrooms in Chicago are collaborating to collect visual evidence of federal agents detaining people & using force in Chicago. Send videos to tinyurl.com/chicagojournalists, or get in touch via email [email protected].

In “Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence,” Mizue Aizeki, Matt Mahmoudi, and Coline Schupfer offer “concrete discussions of strategy and analysis learned from activism.” Jenna M. Loyd reviews, new at PB:

Excited to share that I am on the academic job market, looking for #assistantprofessor positions in social work, criminology/criminal justice, or interdisciplinary programs! My CV and relevant information are here: briannasuslovic.com. If you see any positions that might be a match, let me know!

NPR is among the news organizations that has signed an appeal calling for Israel to stop attacks on journalists in Gaza, and demanding foreign journalists' access to Gaza. www.npr.org/2025/09/01/n...

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

And that explains why the U.N. is moving out of the U.S.

When they say “crime is up,” they don’t mean actual violations of law. By crime, they mean visible evidence of unsheltered homelessness. They mean immigrant communities that violate their assumptions about what languages & cultures should be present. And they want to incarcerate both out of sight.

Oh, this will be GOOD.

A very nerdy research dissemination milestone today: thanks to @prisonpolicy.org for helping to make this study more accessible to organizers and policymakers! We examine how racism and ableism might show up in disparities related to youth incarceration. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/08...

we’re so grateful for the strong reaction people are having to Vivian Wilson’s convo w Ella Yurman ❤️‍🔥 @teenvogue.com it feels worth noting that Elon Musk spent a chunk of the day of his daughter’s first cover story tweeting anti-trans propaganda mixed with anti-journalist memes

"The government has not announced that it relocated the men to one or more Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Louisiana, nor was the reason for the move clear. But the officials familiar with the matter...said it happened on Tuesday." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Workshops4Sudan launches next week. You’re gonna wanna be there. @williamcson.bsky.social will lead a teach in, “Black Beyond Borders.”

One attorney warns of a “humanitarian crisis” in detention centers as a jail notorious for abuse reopens to ICE.

We really, really need journalists to highlight specific examples of the harms caused by these decisions. @epopppp.bsky.social is right. These headlines blur together. We need details that someone who knows nothing about the NIH will be able to understand and remember.

Why haven't we seen more backlash against the GOP's proposed cuts to Medicaid? One reason is that people may not know they're on Medicaid, because Medicaid has different names in different states (see 🧵). Another is that some people may not realize that they (or their kids) could qualify.

In the USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials. “People came to us because they needed community, needed connection. We were trying to keep each other safe. Now, we’re all just this big target.”

My weekly list of must-read articles, some organizing resources, and a reflection on the ascent of Kash Patel. What should we expect from an FBI headed by a Trump acolyte? How can our communities prepare? I have some thoughts, history, and resources to share on the subject.

I talked with Live Like the World is Dying host @margaret.bsky.social about preparedness, collective survival, and challenging ourselves "to let people be better."

This is a great backgrounder on the wildcat strike roiling New York prisons right now: nysfocus.com/2025/02/20/b...

“we are not suffering from too much politicization of public health but rather far too little. It is precisely our ongoing failure to genuinely politicize health… that has rendered public health so vulnerable to opportunistic partisan capture.” jacobin.com/2025/02/publ...

i literally dropped my phone when i saw this headline

"We used to be able to offset all this with commissary. But today it's $6 or $8 just to fill a soup bowl with a Ramen, a little meat, maybe some pickle and crackers. Gone are the days when you could turn $2 worth of store goods into a meal and cup of coffee. Fond memories."

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Refreshing this thread on how complying to protect yourself not only hurts others, but it actually puts you at greater risk in the long run. Use your privilege as a sword, not a shield.

Today, we are proud to announce that submissions are open for the 5th annual Keeley Schenwar Memorial Essay Prize. The prize aims to uplift the work of authors who are currently or formerly incarcerated. Please spread the word!

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders. I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order. Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

A protester unfurled a combined Palestinian and Sudanese flag on the field during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance. The NFL said in a statement that the person was part of the 400-member field cast. nyti.ms/3CVV6Au

Great news, and much appreciation to the people who archived federal public datasets in the face of the U.S. government removing them.

The ban on the agency threatens Palestinian essential services. Some say it could also be a precursor to annexation.

This Wednesday! This is going to be amazing. www.tickettailor.com/events/hayma...

Trans folks seeking passports: Here's something potentially useful, to a small group. If you are in: Michigan Minnesota New York Vermont Washington You have access to an "EDL". This is a drivers license that can be used for LAND AND SEA (not air) entry to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean. (1/3)

We Must Fight In Solidarity With Trans Youth is available below. "This brief is intended to help organizers working to stop the violence of surveillance, policing, and punishment and advance racial, reproductive, gender, LGBTQ, migrant, and disability justice. ... This fight belongs to all of us."

First solo-author empirical publication of my PhD! I focus on the gendered dynamics of early police-social work collaborations and the ways that social workers in this context took on versions of police masculinities to gain legitimacy. doi.org/10.1080/104282… DM for access!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
