Congress was just notified of the 15th death in ICE custody since Trump took office.

This is the direct result of this administration expanding the use of private, for-profit prisons that put their bottom line over people’s health and safety.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.

ICE raids at domestic violence shelters abandon survivors of abuse and embolden their attackers.

I’ve introduced legislation to block ICE enforcement at domestic violence shelters and similarly sensitive locations. Congress must pass it now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters
These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk.

Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us.

Head’s up.

The Insurrection Act has not been invoked.

This is against the will of the State of California

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer

3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator.

Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic.

Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

ICE has been doing this since the very first day they were formed. These people are evil bastards for staying in the job until now. Fuck ex-ICE agents. They should be social pariahs who have to hide their past.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most
A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

Three years before Stonewall, trans women and drag queens led a confrontation between queers and the Police.
The Comptons Cafeteria riot was ignited when a police officer tried to arrest a trans woman and she threw her coffee in his face.
The press deemed it too obscene to cover.

Performative bullshit. See also: Cory Booker's day long speech, and "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, and then he turns around and votes YES to confirm Perdue as Ambassador to China.
