NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I’ve spent the weekend thinking about how decolonization is related to desire for migration control. Looking forward to discussing this at SSHA w/ @srmeiners.bsky.social and others. Part of how migration control got entrenched in late 20th century and today’s third country transfer agreements.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE
Once again enraged
I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights.
I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.
