Checked out of the world for a bit to walk over to the LA County Fair to look at baby critters and weird art and fried food and great crafts, and amazing low-riders and Aztec dancers, not to mention hella overpriced hot tubs and outdoor kitchens. Great reminder of how amazing SoCal really is.

I'm sorry, but there are so many red flags with Platner. There just are. Obviously Collins is worse. I get that. And as an abolitionist, I'm never opposed to redemption.

when we californians tell you that none of us can stand Newsom just believe us

Send an email to your GOP Members of Congress and demand they investigate ICE’s detention facilities, expose the conditions that immigrants are facing, and block any additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol.

Our brave neighbors inside Delaney need urgent help. They are asking that doctors go in to check out everyone in unit 2a/2b. On Thursday, May 28th, they were brutalized by GEO Group guards and ICE. They need medical attention NOW.

Scenes from Delaney Hall today, Saturday, May 30. ALL EYES ON DELANEY.

The policing of what is & is not “appropriate” protesting in the face of concentration camps & atrocities is really starting to chap my ass, let alone as a former human rights lawyer. “You can only protest HERE & THIS WAY, while people are starved, beaten bloody, denied water and medicine” is a lot

doing 19th century hating in 2026 is the sort of innovative hating that wins you Player Hater of the Year

When I said last night that Delaney Hall was reminding me of Ferguson, I wasn’t kidding. Look at what Mikie Sherrill did. This should end her political career. www.northjersey.com/picture-gall...

Trump got a Democrat do his dirty work for him.

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

Mainstream media types: On the proportionality scale, what is going down at Delaney Hall is way more significant than billionaire Reid Hoffman being investigated by the DOJ for partially funding E Jean Carroll, or Trump’s 59th post on an Iran deal. Just in case you need some A Block advice.

Among the other atrocities at Delaney Hall last night, state police in riot gear attacked and arrested an elderly man playing a cello through the tear gas and mounted police assault. Well done, Mikie Sherrill. He was so dangerous.

You know, I’m sorry but if you are someone who wants to justify NJ state police attacking protestors in coordination with ICE because you’re uncomfortable with people criticizing the Democratic governor who ordered it because “vote blue no matter who,” you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

Anyway...

OK, Mariners, I really really really *really* need this game not to go into extra innings, I'm stressed out about the dystopian hellscape enough as it is you don't need to pile on. #MLB #Mariners

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

Every PD, everywhere: “We’re not working with ICE, except like, every time”

All three coordinated.

I think this is why this is making me so crazy tonight. Dem governors should be defending *us*, not ICE, but they just don't seem to find it in themselves. Fucking shameful.

Got my CA ballot done, so at least that's one thing accomplished for today.

They tore down the radical hospitality tent! The tent was a safe haven for families & for those who were released! We served warm food & drinks t& offered warm hugs & kindness. Cannot express how sad this is! 😢 Sherrill is a traitor to her constituents & to the beloved diverse communities in NJ!

Essentially what Sherrill just did is take ALL the pressure off ICE and Geo Group and put the protestors in a place that makes the state more comfortable. Nothing about the detainees. No ramifications for ICE violence. Now I’m mad.

The fact that the protest zone will be away from Delaney Hall is bullshit. “Exercise your rights but only where we tell you” is not how the First Amendment works.

Over 20 people inside the Adelanto ICE Processing Center & Desert View Annex in CA have launched a hunger strike in response to inhumane conditions. Click here to learn 5 ways you can support their fight!

20 ICE prisoners are on Day 10 of their hunger strike in Adelanto! They need our help! Here are the ways you can support them: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

important context for the one (and literally only one) example that the "trans girls in sports" panic was built off of lia was a good swimmer who, post-HRT, was not remotely exceptional by the general standards of female athletes these bans are based on flimflam and bullshit

@npr.org @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @ms.now Why is this story not front & center on your sites right now? The violence and brutality against detainees, protesters and now journalists escalates by the hour and you either aren't reporting at all or burying it way down in your feed. #DelaneyHall

Today at 11 am ET, we cover the escalating crisis at Delaney Hall, where detainees report being tear gassed inside locked housing units, ventilation being shut off, and multiple people suffering serious injuries during a violent crackdown. youtube.com/live/W754VK0...

And lastly, you can call you members of Congress no matter where you live to express your outrage and demand the release of everyone inside, that the detainees demands be met and that ICE is defunded and abolished. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121

The people on the ground at Delaney Hall are being beaten, gassed, tased, choked, dragged and kidnapped. The people inside were gassed after ICE closed the ventilation vents and locked them inside their rooms, and beaten bloody. We need more people showing up.

The photo is of an ICE officer tear gassing a woman in the face. Explain to me how this is "protestors clashing." It's assault.

What these actually is ICE beating and gassing peaceful protestors. apnews.com/photo-galler...

Everyone needs to know what’s happening at Delaney Hall.

It is unbelievable how violent ICE is being at Delaney Hall against entirely peaceful protestors. Except it’s not.

If they are doing this to the people outside, just imagine what they are doing to the people inside of Delaney Hall where no one can see. 1/3

ICE is shoving protestors into an active street and beating them with batons as cars are mowing down the road at Delaney Hall.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Our oldest got a package from the UK today with this stamp which he gifted to me.

If the 2nd in command of the HR team said something ableist in a meeting about my team's perceived HR and the head of HR did not corrector moderate them at all, and the executive director for the organization didn't either, where would I even go with that?

There is a call for fundraising for supplies to support protestors at Delaney Hall. See below.

Last night, ICE purposefully targeted medic, pacifist & veteran Adam Marshall, an organizer with Eyes on ICE, while he was trying to help protestors at Delaney Hall who had been gassed three times. They slammed him to the ground and ripped off his gas mask. He was arrested and dumped 10 miles away.

We are living under a fascist regime and it’s time to get really clear on who is actually perpetrating violence. Blaming victims is some sick enablist shit and we must unlearn it immediately. /end rant

I just want to be clear about something: no protestor deserves to be gassed multiple times, slammed to the ground, beaten with batons, arrested and dumped by the side of the road ten miles away. If you are of the opinion that protestors are “provoking” this at Delaney, you need your head checked.

ICE arrested medics last night at Delaney who were trying to help protestors who had been gassed severely, including one who has been a lead organizer at Delaney. Please make sure you are sharing these vids far and wide. www.instagram.com/reel/DY04hLl...

Welp today was one of those days where you wish that instead of going to work you had run off to the forest and dug a bed into the soft leaf mold and moss and settled in for a 12 year nap. At least.

So look, I've been nerd-posting about the #Glorious25th but really, Pterry writing about a city rising up against corrupt and uber-violent secret police kidnapping marginalized folx to be tortured in a secret facility run by a psychopath on the orders of an unaccountable autocrat *24 years ago*..
