"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."
Observing ICE agents is 'a de-escalation tactic,' sociologist says
The federal government has accused ICE watchers of breaking the law. Sociologist Nicole Bedera said ICE watchers have science behind them. She spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters.

Sickening and abhorrent behavior.
Israel has transformed its prisons into an interconnected system of torture camps targeting Palestinians. Detainees are subjected to extreme violence, systematic humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical treatment, and abuse across all detention facilities.

Video shows the emotional moment a Palestinian girl reunited with her father after more than a year. Anas Jallamneh was arrested in December 2024 in the village of Deir Ghazaleh in the occupied West Bank after Israeli forces raided his home.

We can’t fight fascism until the Democrats stop enabling fascists. No more letters, no more petitions.
The Incredible Mark Ruffalo graciously had this to say about my article on why thousands of people *unsubscribed* to my human rights advocacy this week.

Mark is a superhero. And he plays The Incredible Hulk in movies.

In America, you’re fined, arrested, expelled, fired, blacklisted, doxxed if you’re opposed to genocide.
The same NFL who portrays ‘End Racism’ and ‘Stop The Hate’ banners during their games have fined Azeez Al-Shaair $11,593 for a violation of the NFL uniform and equipment rules for wearing eye tape standing with Gaza.

Gaza's wind screams through torn tents, biting into the fragile skin of our shivering children.They huddle together, shaking uncontrollably, their tiny bones aching from the ice-cold air. A nightmare of freezing darkness. Please, save them now!

We’re so proud of the way community showed up to protect our neighbors today. Just as a federal judge ruled last night, we know that observing and showing up for each other is not a crime. We need everyone to keep patrolling in the streets as we fight against the hate coming at us.

Unions protect us and that is why fascists hate unions.

Support unions whenever you can.
Becoming a member of a union has been one of the more radicalizing experiences of my adult life because what do you mean the majority of Americans raw dog capitalist employment?

Support union efforts to protect there members here:

Brilliant people are reminding us that history keeps repeating itself here and no one is safe unless we are all safe.
As you know, the evidence that the current GOP felon administration is pursuing the racist agenda of old America is widely available if you seek it out.

In this commentary, @hebagowayed.bsky.social gives specifics about how 1920s eugenics policies are being repeated now.

This parallel is wilful.

It’s time for New York to bring in people that want to serve New Yorkers instead of profiting from them.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.

Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.

We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

This is what it was like in Iraq. We are being occupied.
Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….
