Please read this. You may think, “why bother, I already knew they were Nazis.” Yes, the people who posted this are Nazis. But it’s important to keep track of where the Nazis are at. That’s what the observers all about. We need to do that informationally as well. This is an escalation.

During COVID there was no meaningful statistical difference between Ds and Rs for jail and prison releases. People were left to die by both parties as guards called in sick.

Given news of measles in ICE detention, etc., it's more important than ever to read CORRIDORS OF CONTAGION and see what Covid in our "normal" prisons revealed about incarceration, disease, and how systems make people vulnerable to premature death: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2447-c...

I hope the rest of the world understands, someone working the door like this is damn near a default in the Twin Cities by now.

Think about that.

Far-right extremism has permeated the ranks of law enforcement at all levels in America -- from small-town (and big-city) sheriffs to federal ICE agents. And they don't really care if you object. They think they control the levers.

Like ICE, far-right sheriffs defy and undermine democracy
‘Constitutionalists’ manifest how deeply extremist authoritarianism has infected law enforcement at all levels

jails did decrease their populations, but i again want to say the impact was not driven by political affiliation. (Minneapolis, for example, filled its jail with protestors)

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

I can't overstate what it means for Puerto Ricans to see an album so rooted in our culture, our language, in salsa, plena, bomba, and reggaeton to be album of the year.

This album is unapologetically Boricua and it was the most streamed album last year and won album of the year. I'm in tears.

A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social

The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing.

Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely.

If @booker.senate.gov is your senator, please call him what you think. (202) 224-3224
THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

After a few weeks delay, ICE just released new detention statistics. They show 70,766 people in detention as of 1/26/2026. I believe this is the first time this data source has reported a detained population over 70k.

I’ve been guilty of this, but I agree and am going to try to stick to this basic standard.
you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.
