I mean this sincerely: what would be more likely, abolishing and dismantling ICE or a Bivens redux

This is correct! Researchers find that a) most people underestimate the administrative burdens of immigration, and b) when informed about these burdens become more supportive of immigration. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“I think most don’t realize how hard it is to immigrate legally to the United States,” says former senior policy official @margyoh.bsky.social. She explains other surprising facts about the immigration system in a wide-ranging new Q&A:

florence pew: thread

The culture of disposability around criminalized people set us up for this moment, and to fight fascism, we are going to have to rage against that culture of disposal. Submitting to it (or hiding behind it) is an egregious form of surrender.

Nothing beats collaborating with comrades in person on something good. Relatively new to social circles formed around shared political ideals and values. And damn. They’re better 😬 I’ve wasted a LOT of time trying to make friends into activists when I should’ve been making activists into friends.

Oh no. I’m kinda unexpectedly gutted by this. You just expect survivors to keep on surviving forever. RIP Alice Wong. You taught me a lot.

Not ICE Notice and remember.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

ANISH IF YOU DO THIS I'LL FORGIVE YOU FOR THE VANTABLACK THING

This is top-notch. "Now is the time to find a political home for that battle. Everyone has skills that can contribute to the cause. Perhaps it’s taking notes in union meetings, signing up for ICE-watch training, or phonebanking to keep voters engaged. Even one small task matters."

This is the one. I was recently told this position was, “the most absurd, out of touch, New York City bullshit,” someone had ever heard. Which I took as a huge compliment cus god knows this city pumps out some high quality absurd bullshit.

lmfao anyone in crown heights need some radishes? 🤣

‘MigraWatch’ trainings to ‘Whistlemania’ events: Chicagoans fight back against ICE raids Residents are organizing in response to raids across the city amid Trump’s wide-ranging ‘operation midway blitz’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Support workers. Support unions. Don’t go to Starbucks during the strike!

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Opened up LinkedIn for maybe the third time this year, because it is the sad place, only to immediately see an ICE ad. And delete. For ever I think. Nothing good comes from LinkedIn.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

Michael Fanone: "I hope no American has to experience what I experienced. I've gone from dedicating 20 years of my life to the profession of law enforcement only to become a victim of the DOJ and our criminal justice system and have nowhere to seek relief."

People outside NYC, especially those who don't live in very large cities, often can't comprehend the scale of the subway ridership 4 and a half MILLION rides in one day is a lot of people and almost every single one of them got where they were going without incident and went on their way

“Wish I'd kept a record of some of the gems from my time at Netflix. Bad notes are bad notes, but that place was special. There were times I seriously wondered if my execs had been drugged.” Amazing.

Jupiter says trans rights

there’s this really dumb idea among the brain dead liberal punditocracy that you shouldn’t even mention ICE but nah this guy ran aggressively against them in a purple center/center-right county and won.

Rewatched Glass Onion last week and enjoyed it twice as much as when it first dropped. It seemed so deeply of the moment at the time, but damn if we aren’t still stuck in the same stupidity and can see it with more clarity.

Nevermind. Got a reply and confirmation I wasn’t alone in my head. Fuck twitter. NYC density posting FTW forever.

I miss being on twitter for really only one reason a moment like right now, I could post “anyone hearing this helicopter in upper manhattan?!?! it has been hovering for what seems like 30 minutes at least and I’m losing my mind!” and I would get a response and maybe even an explanation

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

For years, a “Goon Squad” of sheriff’s deputies roamed Rankin County, Mississippi, beating and choking people until they confessed to drug crimes. This week, we sit down with the reporters from @mississippitoday.org and @nytimes.com who revealed their reign of terror.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

"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.”

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture." In our name, with our tax dollars. Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

Vince gets it. Same.

the oct 24 interview is fun. close rikers, no queens cop city: "take every step to decarcerate... public safety is created by dignified work, economic stability and well-resourced neighborhoods"

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

Well NOW I’m very intrigued indeed!

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online. It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

JUST IN: Soren Stevenson, who lost an eye due to a projectile fired by the police during the BLM protests of 2020 in Minneapolis, has won a seat on city council. @pascalsabino.bsky.social reported on his candidacy last month in a must-read: boltsmag.org/minneapolis-...

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters
