ICE detained Wilfredo Castillo at what he thought was a routine appointment for his asylum case, saying he missed check-ins on an app. He spent 11 months at a detention center, where he was stabbed. Don't miss the latest from @rachelspacek.bsky.social www.investigatewest.org/i-was-trying...

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

I’m bowled over by the response to this. Thanks all, and thank you new subscribers. Please read the story, bc these activists trusted me with it when they could’ve gone somewhere bigger, and I want to ensure their work and what they’re exposing stays the focus. gillianbrockell.com/video-proves...

Re: multiple Dems suddenly talking about how we must cut taxes Everyone can see that Dems will be swept into power in the midterms. The wealthy have an interest in shaping their policies *now*. When Dems win, they'll credit tax cuts and enact them as a way of fulfilling their promise to voters

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

I'm pretty partial to anarchism but in my tired old age I'm pretty sure I'd settle for a head of state who hasn't tried to creep on teenagers

A woman was killed while crossing the street on Pine by a DoorDash driver. The fact that DoorDash is allowed to pay drivers per order, pushing them to drive faster, is so dangerous. And the fact that we continue to toss countless pedestrians and 2lbs of metal together on Pike and Pine is insane!

Cold take but AOC will win the dem primary in 2028. Sub takes: - she'll quit on "abolish ICE" and instead hammer on "pathway to citizenship" - she will be the only one to consolidate a lane while the many centrists punch Newsom - Mamdani will be a major boost - Chapo will not endorse. Stav will

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished. I have neighbors everywhere.

If you, a 'leftist', are redirecting any anger about the Epstein files to some of the perpetrators' Jewish identity, you are doing the work of the rich fascists who'd like to distract you from growing any consciousness about billionaire impunity. And, unlike Rufo or Fuentes, you're doing unpaid.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

All 9 minutes of Dance Yrself Clean and it’s going to be on speakers that shake my floor.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Democrats don't have the power to do this now, but every member of Congress and all the leading candidates for president should lean very hard into this message because it will crater ICE's already low morale, encourage defections and stop up their recruiting pipeline.

Almost halfway through @letsgomathias.bsky.social's new book "To Catch A Fascist", it's amazing. I stayed up til 3am reading this important history of today's modern antifascist movement. If you're looking for inspiration, or learning HOW you can help destroy fascist movements, pick this up!

I should not have to say this but if you are a legal observer your job is not to go snitch on any and all illegal things. Your job is SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to record law enforcement brutality, illegality, and overreach. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT to snitch on protests you find too spicy.

Every now and then I think about the trans woman who was testifying on a state bill as a doctor, who then had to suffer the indignity of the state legislator asking about her genitals. She had such poise facing truly disgusting bigotry. I hope that she is thriving now.

It seems that Tom Homan’s shift to a more humane approach is just ICE agents targeting local schools. Reports of parents getting abducted outside of schools, agents entering schools, hanging out around children’s bus stops.

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes

Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God

@hannahkrieg.bsky.social Worth potentially signal boosting given ICE escalating in Seattle

2026 American economy is all either gambling, stalking, or scamming and that doesn't seem like a good thing idk

@organizewithshaun.bsky.social Is there any potential for a bill like this in Washington state? Having lobbied my own school for something like this, it seems that liability-scared admin are weary of implementing this without a legal basis

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.” This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to. 2/2

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Jane Don't fan account for the foreseeable Fridays

✨ It's perfecty legal to refuse to hire forner CBP and ICE employees. Throw those resumes in the trash. ✨

She had stuffed animals in her glove box.

Alyson Grieves, thank you for putting a moment like this in words. I still remember having this moment for myself seven years ago. How it felt to finally smile back at myself.... It's among my most closely cherished memories. @badambulist.bsky.social

Just got recommend this AI clop channel - 493 complex economic videos in under a month. All bullshit made up in a podcast/video essay style I hate our new online reality and I'll vote for the first non-sociopath who vows ban this shit

Vote for me and I swear that I'll never once praise Ronald Reagan, so help me god

Two years ago tonight we were setting up dumpster dived pink tents for migrants in the freezing cold and wind in the desert, they were held there for days without food water or shelter other than what we could share with them. That was the Biden admin, in case anyone thinks it was all good before.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel. We have to be SHARP on the left right now.
