I just got a permanent suspension from Twitter over this satirical video. They say it violates their rules against violent speech.

Gee, how will we ever understand the politics of this guy? On the one hand he TARGETED AND MURDERED THREE IMMIGRANTS, but on the other, his friends who laughed at his rape jokes say he maybe didn’t like Trump

Me metieron de nuevo a la cárcel tuitera, esta vez por decirle a Gabriel Boric que no sea tan perfeccionista.

Migrants Speak About Fear and Detention in Puerto Rico SAN JUAN — María had been held at gunpoint four times in Venezuela before she came to Puerto Rico nine years ago. On one occasion, her whole family was forced to hand over their belongings with guns t...

Sin embargo, otro hombre dominicano detenido me dijo que lo trataron bien, con suficiente comida y agua, lo cual no compara a los centros en Estados Unidos donde dijo que fue "abusado" y "tratado como un animal".

En PR, no se ha reportado mucho sobre las condiciones de los centros de detención de inmigrantes. Dos dominicanos me contaron de su experiencia ahí:

"Casi no te dan agua. [Uno esta] esposada a todos lados como un delincuente. La trata fue muy mala".

Also, contrario a lo que reportó The New York Times (izquierda) en PR hay por lo menos 3 centros de detención de inmigrantes, según mi reporteo (derecha). Si cuentas MDC Guaynabo y el aeropuerto, son por lo menos 5 sitios donde aguantan migrantes por cualquier cantidad de tiempo.

'Operation Cupid's Nest'; Court Documents Shed Light on Immigration Enforcement at Puerto Rico Airport At least seven migrants have been detained at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport between February and March.

SCOOP: Federal immigration authorities ran an operation called "Cupid's Nest" at Puerto Rico's largest airport. At least one migrant was arrested as a result.

For this story, I spoke with a Venezuelan woman with TPS who’s afraid of what will happen when it runs out, as wells as several Dominican men who’ve ben detained in PR and the US about their experience inside detention centers.

YouTube video by Arqui.Cultura Las Murallas de San Juan, PUERTO RICO | En 21 MINUTOS

El canal de YouTube Arqui.Cultura, que ya antes había visto sus buenísimos videos sobre ciudades amuralladas en América, hoy tiene uno nuevo detallando la historia de las fortificaciones de San Juan de Puerto Rico. Muy apto para escolares me parece: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXIX...

“fascism is colonialism turned inwards”

Christian Zionists have long held that Jews need to resettle historic Palestine in order to hasten the apocalypse. I am starting to think they may actually not only believe this, but think it requires a little push

Randi Weingarten quits DNC

Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate "We are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating."

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

I do have a problem with the marketing of being threatened or hit with a chancla as “cute” or “culture.” Sorry not sorry.

Suffice to say the pathological obsession to fumigate and to bleach everything in sight isn’t helping…

I think it is not an overstatement to say that the pandemic consolidated many far-right ideas of human disposability and made them the official language of the state and capital. This is related to but not limited to ofc the acceptance of Israel’s genocide of Gaza

Imperial boomerang is guys like this showing up to raid a restaurant to abduct everyday workers

Unbelievable, #NYTimes. "Israel" appears nowhere in your photo caption. Instead, it's "hunger" that is "tightening its grip" on #Gaza. @mondoweiss.net

Why is Israel such a center of digital espionage tools like Pegasus, the powerful spyware used against journalists and activists around the world? @RonanFarrow.bsky.social says many believe that "Israel essentially uses the Palestinian populations as a laboratory for this technology."

Do you notice that every doctor who has been in Gaza comes back and describes it as an unimaginably horrific genocide, so vastly worse than even those of us following it realize?

Testing weapons of war on children, that is what the western world is about.
