🚨 BIG NEWS. A federal court just declared unlawful and blocked a series of Trump admin policies heavily restricting legal immigration since last December. The judge overturns "pauses" on immigration benefits for nationals of disfavored countries, as well as related policies.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

new stereolab listening party to cleanse from an awful week in the world!

ICE operations at immigration courts intensified today. Brief 🧵on what's happening: - A person facing removal shows up for a hearing. - At the hearing, ICE unexpectedly asks the immigration judge to dismiss the case without prejudice. - If the judge says yes, the hearing ends, court is over. 1/4

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

the newly released nick drake tracks hitting harder than I thought.

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.
