ICE is targeting Native businesses & community/resource centers in Minneapolis. They harassed people at Pow Wow Grounds & sat outside of the American Indian Women's Resource Center for 2 hours last month. Many Native people (that we know of, there's definitely more) have been kidnapped by ICE.

‘I’m dead.’ As Haitian temporary protected status ends tomorrow, it’s unknown how people will survive. - The Boston Globe TPS, a legal status reserved for those fleeing countries in upheaval, is slated to end for Haitians on Tuesday.

Every story I read about the revocation of TPS for Haitians makes me shake with rage. I am no longer surprised at the cruelty of this regime, but it is deeply shameful that our country is doing this. This is simply ethnic cleansing.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

Israeli human rights group B’Tselem says Israeli prisons have been turned into a coordinated network of torture camps for Palestinian detainees, documenting widespread, systematic abuse including deliberate starvation, denial of medical care, extreme overcrowding, prolonged shackling, physical and psychological violence, and in many cases sexual violence including rape, based on testimonies and monitoring by the group. The report lists 84 Palestinians who died in custody since October 2023, including one minor, with prisoners from Gaza, the West Bank, and Israeli citizenship, and notes that Israeli authorities are still withholding most of their bodies.

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

🇨🇩 NEW | At least 227 people were killed when landslides collapsed several coltan mines in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo on Wednesday, authorities said. The collapse hit the Rubaya coltan mines in North Kivu after heavy rains triggered landslides while workers were excavating. Provincial spokesperson Lumumba Kambere said 227 bodies have been recovered and more than 30 people injured, including miners, children, and market vendors. The governor of North Kivu has temporarily suspended artisanal mining operations at the site and has ordered the relocation of residents who had constructed shelters near the mine. Rubaya produces around 15 percent of the total global supply of coltan, which is processed into tantalum to be used in mobile phones, computers, aerospace components and gas turbines. Severe rains in DR Congo and neighboring countries have led to many landslides and floods, killing hundreds of people, particularly artisanal miners and displacing thousands. The mine lies in territory seized by M23 rebels in early 2024. The United Nations has repeatedly accused the Rwanda-backed group of plundering the region’s mineral resources.

General Strike in Minneapolis on Friday: As part of a nationwide mobilization in support of the general strike called by protesters in Minneapolis, student groups representing Somali, Liberian, Ethiopian, and Black students from the University of Minnesota organized a demonstration protesting ICE on Friday. Demonstrators in downtown Minneapolis filled up to four city blocks and marched together chanting for ICE agents to leave Minnesota. Strikers abstained from school, work, and shopping. Protesters demanded murder charges for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renée Good on January 7, and denounced the ICE killing of Alex Pretti later this month. The marchers are mobilizing against Operation Metro Surge, the series of immigration raids carried out by DHS throughout Minnesota, which began in Minneapolis and St. Paul. ICE and Border Patrol have arrested over 3,000 people in the operation since December 2025. Organizer Simon Elliott said the student groups, many of them immigrants, were inspired by the bravery of their communities and fueled by Trump’s comments about Somali people. Elliott called for an end to the “racist campaign of terror here in the Twin Cities.” Report by Drop Site contributor Phoebe Huss [ @HussPhoebe23751 ] and video by photojournalist Jake Crandall.
