Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.

Deportation Orders Soar in NYC as Trump 'Mega Master' Hearings Accelerate

A new report finds removal orders for people who missed hearings more than doubled in New York City in June, as a new tactic of hastily scheduled court dates rolled out.

@prisonculture.bsky.social: “People always talk about looking at things at a strategic level, but we have to also hold on to our actual values. The cops really do rule this city. If you don’t take a stand against that, it is going to envelop and maybe devour Mamdani’s entire term.”

A person was killed in a shooting involving US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Maine on Monday morning, the speaker of the state’s House of Representatives said

I cannot explain to you how deeply terrifying and anger-inducing it is to have cops and national guard marching down your street after dark and despite constantly posting about occupied Memphis no one gives a shit. yes, I mean my actual street where I live. I live posted it.

there's (rightfully) been a lot of attention paid to la, chicago, minneapolis, and dc, but the the joint federal-local task force in memphis is uniquely horrifying in ways not seen in other cities. this is at least the fourth person shot during the task force's monthslong occupation.

Rally 6/25 12pm outside City Hall! to demand: ❌ No new NYPD hires ❌ End broken windows policing & aggressive low-level enforcement ❌ End of homeless encampment sweeps ✅ Invest in what creates safety: housing, healthcare, preventative community-based care, and other social services. #CareNotCops

Graphic for Care Not Cops Rally Thursday June 25th 12pm City Hall. No new cops, invest in our communities, end broken windows policing. Groups involved include VOCAL New York, Drug Policy Alliance, the Justice Committee, Gender Liberation Movement, and NYCLU, among others.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

🔴 Six Palestinians Killed in Gaza on Monday, Including Three Children and a Woman, as Israel Keeps Violating Ceasefire

🔸 A father and his child: 
Hakim Muhammad al-Hubail and his child were killed in an Israeli drone strike while filling water on the roof of their home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

🔸 A tailor’s tent: 
Saleh Khalifa was killed when an Israeli drone struck a sewing tent in front of al-Razi School in Camp 2 of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, wounding several others.

🔸 A child shot and detained: 
Ryan Baha Abu al-Ajin arrived dead at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital alongside his wounded father, hours after Israeli forces shot and detained the two in the Wadi al-Salqa area southeast of Deir al-Balah. The troops held them before releasing them on Salah al-Din Road, and the boy was pronounced dead of his wounds.🔸 A third child: 
Riad Abdullah Qadoum has succumbed to injuries suffered in an Israeli strike on Gaza City days earlier, bringing the family’s death toll to four children and their father.

🔸 A woman killed near a mosque: 
Nadia Kamal Ayash was killed and several people wounded when an Israeli drone targeted them near the Abdul Rahman bin Auf Mosque in the town of al-Zawayda.

Israeli forces also continued blowing up homes in eastern Gaza City amid intense warplane and surveillance-drone activity, and fired heavily in Khan Younis alongside sustained artillery shelling, local reports said.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 986 Palestinians have been killed and 3,138 wounded since Israel began breaching the October 11, 2025 ceasefire. The minimum cumulative death toll since the start of the genocidal war on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 72,996 killed and 173,246 wounded.BildBild

Earlier this month, NYPD started its "Summer Violence Reduction Plan," the name for its plan to implement largest summer deployment in recorded history: 3,800 officers in 40 precincts, NYCHA, and the subways. NYPD presence is going up under Z, and we must not be quiet about it.

This Mother's Day, at least 125,000 mothers will be separated from their minor children because of mass incarceration. Today reminds us again that people behind bars are not nameless “offenders,” but beloved family members and friends whose presence—and absence—matters. #MothersDay

Infographic saying "Thinking of mothers who are incarcerated away from family, struggling with reentry, missing their incarcerated children, pregnant and incarcerated, experiencing postpartum while incarcerated, and coping with the horrific effects of mass incarceration."

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.
