Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Willian is one of several who allege they were “choked, thrown around, punched, slapped and otherwise struck after they were handcuffed and brought into a security room at the Home Depot,” by off-duty CPD officers working as security.
Willian Gimenez was abducted by ICE yesterday in Chicago. He had been part of a lawsuit against off-duty police and Home Depot employees for abusing day laborers. Latino Union says he was targeted for advocating for his rights as a worker. @bloomekatz.bsky.social and I report.

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this!

Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.

I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you

Liberals' redemption fetish enables fascism, part umpteen goddamn million.
Some Democrats are looking to cosy up to Musk:

Ro Khanna: “We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with.”

Ritchie Torres: “I'm a believer in redemption, and he is telling the truth about the legislation.”

Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly.

Israeli soldiers used the photo of a famous Palestinian-American journalist for target practice. She was killed while Biden was in power, and this was over a year before Israel would start killing more journalists in Gaza than most conflicts around the world combined
A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are "fair game", and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident.
