Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Trump's third-country removal scheme may be suspended, but the cruelty of ICE flights continues. This is yesterday, Monday, Sept. 21. --72+ flights, nearly every adult onboard shackled --12 removal flights --A removal flight headed to Myanmar

There's going to be some Discourse™️ about this comment today, so its critical that it's put in context here: he was just speaking about fixing potholes, fallen trees, and other built environment QoL issues for city residents. He is not calling for the NYPD to go hog wild on a homeless encampment.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

Truly, I think domestic opposition calling on other countries to sanction US officials for the commission or support of war crimes or crimes against humanity is important--not just in Netanyahu's case, but for crimes committed in the Americas, too internationalpolicy.org/publications...

El Salvador’s actions show Human Rights law matters - CIP

By claiming compliance with human rights law, even as leaders vocally flout them, El Salvador’s shows those laws matter.

If European countries & other signatories to the International Criminal Court have any self-respect, they'd sanction Rubio & Trump for obstructing investigations of Netanyahu's war crimes.

very wild to get a linked in notification and its a white man i met during a black women's leadership program saying something wildly racist on his pro account

This is an atrocity and these people need to be prosecuted now

Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.

Now up, my newest for @rollingstone.com: Private equity firms bought up all the big rock publishing. Now they're going after the indie labels. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Private Equity's Next Target Is Indie Music

For years, private equity firms have snatched up the catalogues of music's biggest names. Now they're after independent labels.

This is happening to my clients. Makes it impossible for me to know if they're still in Minnesota or even in America. ICE can shuttle them around without my knowledge and, unless they get word to me, I have no way to access them as counsel

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · yesterday

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

I am hooting AND hollering

Pretty significant news, especially getting a preliminary injunction in a state like Alabama. Comes from the lawsuit filed by Leonardo Garcia Venegas, the U.S. citizen and Alabama resident detained three times by immigration agents. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Why Have Immigration Agents Detained This American Citizen Three Times?

Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a U.S. citizen whose prior detentions went viral and were detailed by ProPublica, was recently detained for a third time — and shackled. “I just want to live in peace,” he say...

Big news from @ij.org: A federal judge in Alabama has just ordered ICE and CBP to stop warrantless raids of construction sites, to stop detaining people without individualized suspicion, and to stop detaining people who present valid ID. More to come shortly.

Hell simply isn’t hot enough

A cop in rural Texas pulls over a Latino. He demands papers; doesn’t get any. Arrests the guy, throws him in a local jail cell. Hours later, GardaWorld staff show up to put him on a bus with a dozen others. They drive him to the nearest ICE jail; a bus service for the machine of mass deportation.

ICE launches massive private system to transport detainees across Texas under armed guard

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...

I’m on NPR’s Code Switch this week talking about the trans panic that’s hit the WNBA. You can listen here:

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

ICE shot a man in the back in Austin this afternoon. But we're also learning this weekend about the death of Carlos Josué Marchena, a 37-year old man from Costa Rica who appears to have died at the Winn concentration camp in Louisiana after 9+ months in ICE detention.

Austin Kocher, PhD@austinkocher.com · 2d ago

ICE Detention Claims 25th Life Since the Start of the Year Carlos Josué Marchena at Louisiana and Lianyong Wei in Saipan are the 25th and 24th people to die in ICE custody. Story by Spanish-language media, slow to hit English-language media. austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-detent...

so what are we up to, 9 killed, 15 shot by ICE this year? 49 (known)incidents where they’ve held innocent bystanders at gunpoint?

Report

The reported shooting in Austin came more than two months after an ICE officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston.

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

CZEdwards@czedwards.bsky.social · 3d ago

Re This case: Most media are focusing on their own states, but this was a multi-state trip. The person took the whole route of the Southwest Chief, so Illinois through the midwest, then across S. Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona before LA. Then up the coast, and back across on California Zephyr.

What is so frustrating about current media: DC media losing it over Dems & a Twitch streamer—running for no and holding no office—who has zilch name rec outside narrow online circles, while actual USG voices and senior leading Repubs—including those in office!— say the most vile racist stuff daily.

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 2d ago

So in addition to being a former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis’ lobbying clients include Hewlett Packard and Walmart. Have the CEOs of those companies been asked to “disavow” and “sever their relationships” with Mike Davis?? He is a grotesque racist.

love having a brain that every so often is like "what if we panic when trying to put on a new blood sugar meter? sound fun? great"

Today at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago: Dozens of ICE agents violently confronted protesters, deploying chemical irritants on the crowd. Multiple people were injured. No arrests were observed.

eloquii has a dark purple wool winter coat and its taking everything in me to exercise some self control over here

it's funny but also a reminder that the fundamental premise here is that a Black man can't be objective when talking about race while a white man can because Black people do identity politics and white people do facts and this my friends is what I have named "white empiricism"
