Not Claude!! 😭😭😭

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

From @ccrjustice.org + alt-text:

"Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana."
Letter from Mahmoud Khalil in ICE Detention Swipe Left Letter from a Palestinian political prisoner in Louisiana dictated over the phone from ICE detention March 18, 2025 My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law. Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn't the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn't the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing. Justice escapes the contours of this nation's immigration facilities. 1/5 On March 8, I was taken by DHS agents who refused to provide a warrant, and accosted my wife and me as we returned from dinner. By now, the footage of that night has been made public. Before I knew what was happening, agents handcuffed and forced me into an unmarked car. At that moment, my only concern was for Noor's safety. I had no idea if she would be taken too, since the agents had threatened to arrest her for not leaving my side. DHS would not tell me anything for hours - I did not know the cause of my arrest or if I was facing immediate deportation. At 26 Federal Plaza, I slept on the cold floor. In the early morning hours, agents transported me to another facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There, I slept on the ground and was refused a blanket despite my request. My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night. With January's ceasefire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom. 2/5 I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family which has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel's use of administrative detention imprisonment without trial or charge - to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace. I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism that both the Biden and Trump administrations have demonstrated over the past 16 months as the U.S. has continued to supply Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians and prevented international intervention. For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted. 3/5

This is a really great guide on making Signal more secure!
findingtangle.bsky.social Kate Glenn @findingtangle.bsky.social · Feb 3
This but also read up on how to make Signal as secure as possible. Just downloading the app isn’t quite the fix, you have to mutually agree to use certain features for it to be the most impactful.

I’m still learning but plan to figure it all out tomorrow.

It’s a functionality thing that if you put it before a url it pulls all the ads and pop ups. Yay!

Never mind, I know why. Because y'all spent too much money on this BS to accept that no one wants it.

What to do when you see ICE - resources in thread:

When informing your community, remember "S.A.L.U.T.E."

Report ICE/CBP sightings to a local rapid response network (more info below 👇)
IF YOU SEE ICE VERIFY THEIR IDENTITY AND PURPOSE • CONFIRMING WITH OTHERS OR BY LOOKING AT THEIR UNIFORM THAT WHAT YOU SEE IS ICE • CALL YOUR LOCAL RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK HOTLINE AND REPORT WHAT YOU SEE DOCUMENT • RECORD OR TAKE PHOTOS OF WHAT YOU ARE SEEING • MAKE NOTE OF THE TIME, DATE, AND THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE ENCOUNTER SPREAD AWARENESS ONCE YOU VERIFY THAT ICE IS THERE AND WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR, YOU CAN SHARE THE INFORMATION ALONG WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE DOCUMENTED. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ONLY SHARE VERIFIED INFORMATION. THIS ENSURES THAT WE DON'T CREATE ANY UNECESSARY STRESS, FEAR, OR ANXIETY. Spread Information not panic When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! S.A.L.U.T.E. Size/Strength "5 to 6 Armed Agitators" 中r Actions/Activity "Harassing random people on the move" Location & Direction "Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St" Uniform/Clothes "Dark Jackets, ballcaps" Time & Date of Observation "8:32 PM June01" Equipment & Weapons "They have Body Armor and Pepper spray" Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" Use your Judgement!
