From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

These are prisons.
The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here.
This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Coat and jacket drives are also welcome right now. Do you have mutual aid and other groups in your community that help unhoused people? Reach out to them if you are willing to coordinate a winter clothing drive. Especially if you are a self-directed person who can manage projects.

The narrative being pushed around "crime"/ rates is copaganda, and is being used to justify the occupation of DC and other cities.

Journalists writing about Trump's plans to send the National Guard to cities in blue states have to think carefully about how to frame it.
The federal government (including the National Guard) call it an anti-crime narrative. But it increasingly feels like that's a pretext for military occupation.

Very important to note the youth curfews people having been rightfully flagging as horrible were already in place. That’s Mayor Bowser. Not Trump.

DC already had evening curfews in effect to keep kids out of Navy Yard and areas of NoMa, mind you. Scores of cops posted up and groups walking around to funnel kids out of the neighborhood and show force.
Now everyone is getting that treatment.

I understand the urge but... immigrants are not only valuable because of contributions to the economy.
This is damaging coz:
1. Contributes to commodification of immigrants
2. Makes migrants disposable & deportable when labour is no longer needed (esp periods of high unemployment & austerity)

All these Trumpers are in for a hurting real bad once they feel how important immigrants are to the economy.
It's going to be immense pain. And you know what? The country did it to itself—the self-destructive power of white supremacy.

The couple had been granted protected status, which had shielded them from deportation while their asylum claims were being adjudicated.
Advocates for the couple say it is the first time they’ve seen such a case, in which immigrants have been charged with illegal entry long after the fact.
