32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.
Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

American Rachel Corrie was murdered by the IDF who ran her over in a bulldozer as she protested against their destruction and theft of Palestinian land in the West Bank.
The USA ignored it, we now know if ICE had done it in the USA they would ignore it too.

Agreed - people agreeing to donate £1+/month to @essehouse.bsky.social are enabling us to do SO much. We're obviously grateful for all support and donations, but that regular income for the organisation is vital.
Currently, it sits at about £50/month from recurring donations from a few people

As someone who has a site that runs on ads and one that runs with subscribers I can confirm that the 'profit' of one paying subscriber is indeed worth thousands of non paying ad viewers.
Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

Hi @libbybrooks.bsky.social. This part of what Stephenson said is a lie;

Do you fact-check or interview trans people to put our case, at the Guardian?
