This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.

Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

Insane that professionals with h1b visas are now being hauled off to jail for trying to board planes.
Even worse is the silence of institutions seeing their employees put through this.
Oklahoma U pr response: "no comment." Same as ICE.
On Nov. 22, Vahid Abedini, an Iranian Studies professor at University of Oklahoma, was boarding a flight to attend the Middle East Studies Assn mtg in Washington, D.C. when he was detained by ICE.

OU Prof Joshua Landis says "he has been wrongfully detained because he has a valid H-1B visa."

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.

“The thing that worries me most is the unemployment rate now is at its highest level in four years. It's at a level that we hadn't seen since 2017, except for during the pandemic.” That’s the trend to watch.

Chicago: Did you know that police departments in the Chicago area coordinate on Slack? Now that I know it's accessible to public records requests, request away:

Their server is called CHI-INTEL and requests should be sent to the department that runs it, the Cook County Sheriff.

Send away!
It *is* possible to get cross-jurisdictional and multi-police department Slack chats out of departments via public records requests. Here's a glimpse at the Chicago-area police Slack chat with people responding with the 👀 emoji to the news that there's been an ICE-involved shooting.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Prison nurse sees inmates with serious health conditions being dismissed by prison staff. She brings it up with management.
She's quickly retaliated against and put in "prison jail" - sitting in a room monitoring inmate calls and emails.
Comes across comms from Ghislaine Maxwell and says fuck this.
There are so many people working in so many places who are quietly watching this corruption cross their desks daily, but so few willing to do what prison nurse Noella Turnage just did by sharing the receipts and accepting the consequences. What an absolute hero

That this is going to get only a day, an hour really, of headlines, saying that a journalist was straight up murdered (strangled, dismembered, then disposed of, at the direction of the SA govt), but couched in this triple denial is everything that's wrong rn
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
