ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event

If you have a medical emergency in ICE custody, there’s a chance you will simply “disappear”

Or you could end up like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel who was deported to Costa Rica in a persistent vegetative state.

He died soon after.

On any given day, thousands of adults are detained in remote facilities in Arizona solely because of their immigration status. The vast majority don’t have an attorney and are forced to represent themselves in immigration court, severely impacting their chances to win their case.

Starbucks workers have been so consistently badass and ambitious and now they are putting it all on the line. Read about why they're on an open-ended strike -- a huge escalation -- to beat an employer that has tried to crush the union from day one. via @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social
No contract, no coffee, no scabs: Starbucks workers strike nationwide
"This is an open-ended strike… They're going to be on strike until they win. This is a big escalation… That's got to be kind of scary for the suits.”

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

A dramatic example of the thesis that executive counter-knowledge, magical thinking, and the self-disruption of the ability of decision-makers to know real things is counterproductive to the activity of making technology that actually works.

In fact, as I discuss in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR, it's a *feature*, not a bug of white supremacy.

White Northern pastors started preaching Jesus' "unconditional" forgiveness* re: the South just as their supremacy was at risk. For them, white unity > accountability, Black equality.

*see next skeet
Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

He was protected from deportation by a legal settlement. Trump deported him anyway.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks.

This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing.
