ICE has killed another person.

El Salvadoran Man Held by ICE at Delaney Hall Dies, Family Says

The detainee had an extensive medical history, including epilepsy, according to a lawsuit. He had complained about his face and hand going numb just before his death, his mother said.

This is fundamentally the pursuit of the private sector: to create its own state (or series of mini-states) in all but name, but without even the pretence of democracy or other pesky means for the people to have any input or say.

Did you know that in the US at the beginning of the last century, many miners weren't paid in cash? Instead, they were paid in company scrip – tokens which were only redeemable in stores owned by the company. Learn all about it in this book: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/scr...

“So, if government officials, elected officials are getting more clued into the types of data Flock gathers and maintains, and if it’s the kind of thing that is giving them pause, then don’t renew the contracts.” matternews.org/community/po...

Activists push Columbus to join other Ohio cities in cutting ties with Flock – Matter News

While Cleveland and Dayton have recently taken steps to distance themselves from Flock Safety cameras, Columbus officials continue to adopt more of a wait and see approach.

They’re absolutely conditioning us to having ICE around before they start putting ICE at polling places

Homan: "We're going to continue an ICE presence there until the airports feel like they're 100% in a posture where they can do normal operations. If less TSA agents come back, that means we'll keep more ICE agents there."

I don't think trans people should be imprisoned for 5 years because they have to pee

Remember: Octavia Butler wrote we should save seeds to plant, pick up skills like sewing and carpentry, learn how to shoot guns, practice how to fight, and create the futures we need, even as we look to the stars.

Yesterday a federal jury convicted 9 anti-ICE protesters on terrorism charges — the first domestic terror prosecution targeting alleged ‘antifa’ under Trump. This is exactly what I wrote about this week: how the terrorism label is used as a tool for repression zeitzoff.substack.com/p/what-happe...

Cuba is in a major blackout now. No country brave enough to stop it. No people powerful enough to pressure their government. Bleak

been replaying in my head joe biden warning the entire middle east/world no one better interfere with what israel was doing while he was still in office. a supposed man of decency. just monstrous, empty people pulling the strings and now trump is the ultimate vessel for outward, unrepentant violence

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Yup, when the markets open tomorrow crude oil prices are gonna be wild if Iran is serious about closing the Strait of Hormuz. Domestic gasoline prices jump instantly with crude oil prices. Gas prices might be a lot higher for who knows how long.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · 6mo ago

1. The footage shows Homeland Security is lying when he got indoors and was wearing prison booties I doubt are good for the cold. 2. Nurul Amin Shah Alam apologized to police BEFORE he was tasered when he was originally arrested. wapo.st/3OCwNx8

Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks” Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤

I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤

Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers. It started like this. Nuremberg Laws were tools of Nazi Germany, and they're the tools of Kansas. There is very definitely a trans genocide being perpetuated in the #US and the #UK. Canaries are singing. We should all be listening.

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there. If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance. If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.🖤

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change

Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

Tom Homan, the White House 'border czar,' announced the federal operation is winding down this morning although "quick reaction forces" are still operative, claims more local jail cooperation with ICE imposed. Gov. Walz announced economic recovery measures are being set up after damage from feds.
