"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

I passed these two U-Haul box containers in someone's yard and wondered what the heck was going on, and then I realized that someone had set up a pantry. #neighborhoodpantry #feedthehungry #SNAP

Demand: to be moved back to the population unit (doesn’t want to be in solitary confinement anymore). They asked La Resistencia to keep their name anonymous. Words from the person: “We will fight, until something is done. I want the public to know the regulations here are not being followed.”

UPDATE: #hungerstrike day 2 at NWDC #tacoma cages Day 2 of the 13th hunger strike of the year. La Resistencia was able to communicate with the second hunger strike happening inside the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC). The person has missed 4 meals.

More of this! In every country!

A Waukegan councilman was briefly detained by U.S. immigration agents on Friday, and he says the agents drew their guns on him while he was sitting in his car with his hands raised. “My life flashed before my eyes,” said Ald. Juan Martinez.

Thread. This is what a moral panic looks like.

My local branch library created a list of food pantries in Manhattan. I wonder what would be possible if 25 businesses in Manhattan each adopted one pantry.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

BREAKING: Federal judge permanently blocks Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland. buff.ly/ow0lMO6 by @alexbaumhardt.bsky.social

ICE officers dehumanize immigrants by calling them 'bodies'. Private prison executives dehumanize immigrants by calling them 'utilized beds'.

WARNING: The violence and cruelty is hard to watch, but impossible for families to endure.   This is a sickening example of Trump and ICE's blatant disregard for humanity as they terrorize our families and communities.   It is shameful, cruel, and it must end.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

"Explain to me what 'reasonable suspicion' of breaking immigration law is." ICE agent: "Uh..." *Dies inside*

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants. Appeasers.

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz." the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness. via @katieprout.bsky.social

The abundance of evidence of the Biden administration just looking the other way and being willing to supply arms to actions they knew violated international law will continue to grow

BROADVIEW - state and local authorities just arrested about 20 women who hopped the concrete barricades outside the processing center, sat down in the middle of the street and joined hands. Took maybe five minutes all told.

"Like housed immigrants ... who have been forced to miss work and forgo trips to the grocery store, unhoused [people] have lost access to life-sustaining resources because of the danger posed by ICE and other federal agents."

This is exactly the sentiment I heard over and over while reporting on the broad grassroots opposition to a proposed fossil gas pipeline in rural Virginia. Much of organizers' energy at first went into simply convincing their neighbors that the project wasn't inevitable. That they had some agency.

“Meta’s own research suggests its products have become a pillar of the global fraud economy. A May 2025 presentation by its safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S.” jesus

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

The destruction of the threadbare welfare state in this country is not an accident or a political byproduct of sensible disagreement about fiscal responsibility. No one spends months preparing the military like this for coincidences or unforeseen outcomes.

Federal judge saying in open court that ICE and CBP lie so much she simply does not believe them—bc the evidence clearly show they are lying. And to be clear: this is all too common police culture. Do something wrong, lie to cover it up.
