This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.
Yael Schacher@yaelschacher.bsky.social · 2w agoSo many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

So much gratitude to the organizers still pushing back on the concentration camp/warehouses.

“Davis, and other defendants interviewed by the Guardian, are confident that the case against them will collapse. But the government is trying to send a signal, he said: “This isn’t just about us. It’s about trying to scare everybody who opposes ICE.””

Erik Davis is accused by the government of a ‘conspiracy’ to obstruct ICE – experts say it’s part of a pattern to criminalize lawful organizing and ruin activists’ lives

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
Last year, TSA began sharing passenger manifests with ICE, and ICE began arresting people at airports. After some initial arrests led to backlash, ICE pulled back a bit. But with the pressure on from the White House right now, we're seeing a lot more arrests at airports recently.
Jenn Budd@jennbudd.bsky.social · 4w agoJust received this from immigration attorney Mo Goldman. This is why ICE is in the airports. Please share! @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social
i am very certain that ditching gas is why my oldest didn't develop asthma after being pretty clearly pre-asthmatic
Sammy Roth@sammyroth.bsky.social · 4w agoInsane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

"Protests continued across Maine this weekend, days after an ICE agent shot and killed 25-year-old Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Biddeford on Monday. In Portland on Saturday, hundreds gathered in Monument Square to pay tribute to Durán Guerrero and others killed by ICE."
Labor unions don’t actually operate like 20th century labor unions anymore, they have no industrial control, they cannot urge any mass political action. They’re functionally PACs. The rank-and-file members aren’t proletarians, their consumers. That’s why you can coddle UAW, but half will vote GOP
An all time touch grass heat check and people addicted to dumbass social algorithms will prob learn nothing
The Portland Press Herald has done stellar work on the Biddeford extrajudicial execution and its perp. This makes the explicitly homicidal character of ICE and their recruiting standards very clear. Markwayne is very proud of is boys and what they're achieving.
