Hello, BlueSky! Sad to leave any platform I’ve been on since 2008, but so happy to be here and out of reach of Musk’s ads, relentless disinformation, and all that ugliness. I feel like I can finally breathe again.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
