I know that many people are rightfully shaken by how bad it's getting. I know that many of the same people have failed to recognize how bad things have been. And I do wonder if we're just going to return to the silence of the killings of people who don't matter.

Cacho's Social Death remains so relevant. In it, she explains how our national identity is grounded in the idea that some people are ineligible for personhood. There are valued citizens (Renee Good, Alex Pretti). And there are people who lack human value (Keith Porter, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez).

My children are suffering from a virus due to the bitter cold, sleeping in tents, and the lack of water and hygiene. Their skin is inflamed, they have fevers, runny noses, and difficulty breathing; they cry in pain. I cannot afford treatment or even their most basic needs. 💔🥺 gofund.me/98f52891f

People released from the Whipple Federal Building often don't have their phone, their ID or a ride home, said Natalie Ehret. The group she leads, HavenWatch, sits outside the building ready to help.

Heroes. To everyone doing this work whose names most people will never learn, you’re absolute fucking heroes.

When outraged Germans protested over Aktion T4 in 1941, the Nazi government officially shut down the program. It continued unofficially until the fall of the Nazi government. Don't take your eyes off of ICE if they back off their current tactics or fire more leaders in the face of mass protest.

Sorry, I feel uncomfortable with the way some people celebrate the demotion of Bovino or the potential firing of Noem as big wins. You can't reform ICE. Abolishing ICE is the moderate position. That's the smallest win we should accept.

This state violence was facilitated by rhetoric that dehumanized the (mostly) white middle class protesters at Kent State. The day before students were killed, their Governor described them as "worse than the Brownshirts, and the Communist element, and also the Night Riders, and the vigilantes."

Kent State's student body was fairly conservative, but the presence of troops on campus had radicalized many of them. This is how Ohio's governor described these young people: "We’re up against the strongest, well-trained, militant revolutionary group that has ever been assembled in America."

ICE shot 59 people between 2015 and 2024, nearly all occurring in public spaces or in traffic

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

I remember liberal twitter from the globe emojis to the graph perverts all in lockstep that TikTok was evil and possibly why Harris lost, a campaign which managed to 1) hand Trump an instant victory when he "saved" everyone's favorite app, and 2) allowed him to later turn it into a propaganda tool.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, was abducted in Minneapolis. He died in ICE’s El Paso detention camp 8 days later on Jan 14. ICE calls it suicide. They didn’t send his body to the El Paso County ME who just classified another “suicide” at that camp a homicide. They sent him to an army medical center.

“Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them.”

“so much black history is about black people forced to migrate”

And absolutely stop talking like experts and sitting in seats experts should be seated in. You are know-nothings!

The "I'm the centrist, gotta love me!" routine is itself a wrecking behavior. They are maneuvering for a veto on systemic changes post Trump.

They also tend to want to be in charge. Like sorry, you don't get to be a "thought leader" about something you just acknowledged was real five minutes ago.

⭕️ The Israeli military announced the recovery of the body of the last Israeli captive in the Gaza Strip. The op. that retrieved the body of Israeli soldier Ran Gvili exhumed over 250 Palestinian bodies from a cemetery in Shujaiya - Palestinian bodies that will likely be returned w/o identification.

let me be clear: FUCK ICE feel free to use/print this wherever you want - consider a donation to the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition if you do pircoregon.org/donate

It has now been announced that the body of the last soldier in Gaza has been found. The most important question is: will they adhere to what was agreed upon, and will they open the Rafah crossing?

i’m fine

You not enthusiastically hailing my belated, sour, minimal, crabbed, peevish, grudging admission that you were right about where things were going is the real fascism.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

the thing you'll want to be writing about if you're in these groups in Minnesota is how you cope with going back to civilian life after being that connected, and how you build persistent networks to maintain some sort of middle ground

36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso. The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
