Have you ever heard of CoreCivic? What about GEO Group? If not, you should remember those names – they’re the two largest private prison corporations in the United States and the recipients of billions in taxpayer dollars to cage, surveil, and transport human beings in this country.

With the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation agenda underway, it is more important than ever to know your rights when engaging with ICE. I teamed up with ACLU to break down exactly what you should know + remind others of as well. More info + tools here: crnt.link/aclu-kyr-soi...

A shot and a chaser from Donald Trump.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” One year ago today, Aaron Bushnell self-immolated outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. May we continue to remember his sacrifice and fight for an end to the genocide and a free Palestine. From the river to the sea.

I have been tracking legislation—from the state to federal levels—that has slipped under the radar so far this year. Keeping a running list going on Substack! open.substack.com/pub/soinform...

NYC showed up in Sunset Park yesterday to show support for the immigrant community + to demand an end to ICE raids, protection of immigrant’s right to due process, the closure of Guantanamo Bay, and the resignation of Eric Adams. Led by Plaza Proletaria.

Israel supporters are constantly looking for new ways to suppress supporters of Palestinian rights. ADC's Abed Ayoub shared practical advice for those now under more threat than before: electronicintifada.net/blogs/eli-ge...

Protesters shut down the 101 in downtown Los Angeles resisting Trump’s mass deportation plans + ICE arrests.

As if the news of Trump’s plans to detain up to 30K migrants at Guantánamo wasn’t bad enough… @dropsitenews.com just reported that in August 2024, the Biden admin. granted a private prison company a $163.4 million contract to run the Guantánamo migrant jail. www.dropsitenews.com/p/trump-guan...

Biden promised to close Guantánamo when he ran for office in 2020. He wanted to "finish the job" that Obama never got around to doing (remember when he promised the same thing?). Now Trump is going to use it to lock 30,000 migrants up. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

According to Reuters, Trump plans to sign an executive order today that will cancel student visas for what it called "Hamas sympathizers" at U.S. colleges and universities. There is no definition for “Hamas sympathizers” with these people. They will target anyone who shows support for Palestine.

With Trump taking office this week, a lot of important news from around the country flew under the radar. Here’s what you might have missed this week: 🧵

Israeli army forcibly expels Palestinians from Jenin and 'executes' residents - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestinians-flee-jenin-camp-amid-forced-displacement-field-executions-israeli-forces

The stocks for CoreCivic and GEO Group—the two largest private prison corporations in the country—skyrocketed after Trump signed this EO. The private prison industry is cashing in. We’ll keep fighting to make sure they run into obstacles at every turn.

We need to talk about Trump’s reinstatement and expansion of the federal death penalty. His admin. seeks to: → Expand the use of the federal death penalty, applying it vigorously to crimes beyond murder → Make sure the govt. always has execution drugs on hand 🧵

BREAKING: A district court ruled that the FBI's use of Section 702 to conduct warrantless searches of a person's digital communications violates the Fourth Amendment. This is a victory for our right to privacy from government spying.

Israeli forces block ambulances from entering Jenin and its refugee camp during "Operation Iron Wall," leaving Palestinians "bleeding out in the streets" as at least 10 are killed and dozens wounded. 🔴 LIVE updates:

Likely one of the only positive things we’ll see Trump do while in office. Ross was railroaded by the legal system due to unbelievable political pressure on his case. He did not ever deserve two life sentences + 40 years without the possibility of parole for making a website.

As Trump takes office and pledges mass deportations, this film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE is a critical share. View the full series in multiple languages: wehaverights.us

Everything is awful—from Trump taking office again to the genocide in Gaza. No person grounded in reality is feeling anything other than hopeless. With that in mind, sharing the wisdom of the great Howard Zinn to carry us forward:
