Trump is trying to deport Haitian migrants. But some still voted to strike over poor working conditions at a JBS plant—in what could be largest stoppage in meatpacking since the 1980s. Our story with @thefern.org
These Haitian meatpacking workers face deportation. They voted to strike anyway.
A JBS plant’s largely immigrant workforce is refusing to back down after they accuse their employer of poor working conditions.

We have been trying to explain that conservatives are funneling tons of money into recalls (Boudin, school board) while calling themselves liberal. All it takes is a name change and to say common sense a million times and boom-the new liberals are born. White supremacy is whatever you want it to be

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

A number of abolitionists have worked for years to successfully close a number of jails and prisons in the US. Too bad *reformers* have nothing to learn from them especially in this moment.

the fake conspiracies are a distraction from the real conspiracies... this is what I found again and again while researching Doppelganger.

And Bannon is doing it in overdrive these days.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

If folks in other parts of the country are preparing for ICe Surge, part of the fabric of response has to include anti-fascist tow truck drivers.

Recruit them now.

Rental assistance hotlines in the state say calls for help have skyrocketed this year. Some callers say they’re not going to work because they’re afraid they’ll be detained by ICE if they leave the house. Others say a family breadwinner was detained, leaving them struggling to pay the bills.
Minneapolis allocates additional $1 million for rental assistance

I mean, we all know why.

It's still a part of every conversation and every discussion of systemic sexism. But this keeps happening, in every industry, in every setting, and we keep siding with the men. "Oh she was too pretty, she was a temptation." "Oh she made him do it." "Oh she was at fault."

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

If you are (rightly) disgusted with everything Karen Bass is doing and feel like the mayoral race might be a wash, good news: @raeforla.bsky.social is running for mayor as the “Zohran of LA” so yes, you too can have Zohran at home!
Karen Bass refusing to speak out against Epstein’s friend Casey Wasserman is pure cowardice. An easy win to demand he resign but Bass doesn’t want to upset her donors, & maybe more importantly, she doesn’t want to switch her stance on the games.

Either way, cancel the Olympics!

2 weeks ago, the El Paso Medical Examiner ruled the death of a Cuban ICE detainee a homicide.

This time, when a 32-year-old Nicaraguan man died, ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility. They won’t publicly release a ruling.
