This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

ICE is holding “a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer,” Kim told me. He wants to “spend his final months… with his family. But they just won’t let him go.” https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/05/delaney-ice-andy-kim-detention-strike-pepper-spray-new-jersey-senator-dhs-mullin-attack/

Another city has decided the people willing to put their bodies on the line against ICE can no longer do so.

A Washington state jury found three protesters guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of an ICE bus that was attempting to relocate prisoners last year. They face a maximum sentence of six years in prison and/or $250,000 in fines. Important reporting from @rangemedia.co:

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

Scenes from Delaney Hall: protesters try to stop vehicles from entering the facility. Agents unsuccessfully chase after someone. One agent seems to have gotten (incorrectly) reprimanded for not sticking with a colleague, leaving him on his own.

Finally leaving Delaney Hall. I have never been hit with as much bear spray in my life as I have today. My eyes, mouth, skin. Pain. Please follow. Thanks goodnight.

An Israeli-born, Trump-appointed US attorney — who's referred to Palestinians as “animals,” called for Gaza to be wiped “off the map,” and suggested “even the children” in Gaza are terrorists — dropped charges against an Israeli tied to a biolab in Nevada.

good. great. every time Ken Paxton's name comes up, between now and november, tell the story. "Epstein Deal" is good too, both accurately conveys whats objectionable about it and links Paxton to another famous pedophile bsky.app/profile/jame...

Horrifying but not surprising. For malignant narcissists like Trump, vengeance for perceived injuries is a primary drive. He will never stop.

A university that does not understand the value of physical libraries staffed with real librarians is a university that does not understand how knowledge is kept.

We murdered two more people in a boat today.

This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

The New York Times is a hateful organization that profits from attacking trans people. It’s long been so. The year before I was born, on Sept 29, 1982, police raiding Blue’s - a Black and Latino gay bar that was literally across the street from NYT building. This is how the NYT covered the protest.

nice try

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

The disabled women’s network met tonight, we were unanimous in opposition to the msn woman bill - many disabled bodies don’t fit gender norms and this bill will make things so much harder for us.

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Across the global majority, politicians defend anti-LGBTQIA+ laws as protecting “traditional culture”. But often, those laws aren’t tradition at all. They're colonial imports.  From the archive #IDAHOBIT

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

When a trans person so much as jaywalks there's a month of calls for all of us to die screaming and I need people to bring that energy to holding every transphobic monster that helped make this murder happen accountable for it. Juniper's death is the intended outcome of transphobic propaganda.

EXCLUSIVE @taskandpurpose.com. After Aaron Bushnell self immolated himself in protest over the war in Gaza, the Air Force review initially said mental health played a role. The commander overseeing the review reversed that, saying Bushnell was of sound mind when he killed himself.

The pro-Israel people over on Twitter are... not taking this story well.

"I’m pleased to have the unredacted versions, though, because they narrate the push to clean up Downtown succinctly and honestly, spelling out the true drivers of policy: the unbridled revulsion of much of the propertied class for people who have the audacity to exist as poor in public," she writes.

Sam Alito has personally taken a flamethrower to legal precedent resulting in states forcing people to give birth against their will, disenfranchising Black voters, and many other evils and he’s upset that people think he’s a villain

They're really trying to speed run going back to Jim Crow.

Going after donors and membership lists of civil rights organizations is what Alabama attempted to do to the NAACP in the 1950's. We're heading right back to that except this time the Supreme Court would likely side with Alabama. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...
