This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

Not only conducting mass raids, ICE has posted notices for contractors to provide surveillance tech to enlarge, transform, and modernize capabilities to track, monitor & surveil noncitizens.

Migrants are at nexus of surveillance tech & expansion of racial state power.

Make 2025 the year you end your dependence on corporate breaking news outlets, and return to substantive long form and nonprofit journalism. Here are some outlets I'm reading (and subscribing to) this year:

1. CalMatters. A dedicated nonprofit newsroom covering California in depth. calmatters.org
Spectre: A Marxist Journal
Spectre is a new Marxist journal that understands anti-oppression struggles as constitutive of class struggle. Pro-Black, pro-queer, and resolutely internationalist.

One thing to hold fast to is that so much of the work we do to fight fascism is also work that builds a better world. Building community, building power at work, forming bonds and practices of solidarity all lead us towards a better society, particularly if we approach it with that orientation.

If anyone wants to go deeper, I reported on where these jail/prison commissions go and how they’re used — including a 50 state policy analysis. I think this is a really under appreciated aspect of the scheme and one that companies and DOCs are VERY touchy about www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/shad...
