Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.
We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

I visited the Boston Central library a few weeks back and was really delighted to see that, in the lobby, nearby new releases, there were shelves full of all sorts of zines recently published.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

A technique I've only seen in Akane Banashi (so far) is this bouncing tail where ideal balloon positions are closer to someone listening, vs the speaker.
These examples are from chapters 1+2, but it's used throughout and so far hasn't cause me to stumble.
