Talked recently with someone who has some shitty neighbors, and was daunted by the idea of reaching out to those people for hyperlocal organizing. I asked if there were people with anti-ICE or other good window signage who lived nearby. They said yes. I suggested they try to meet those people first.

1/? What @roguednc.bsky.social did to @bookersquared.bsky.social is precisely why I have been screaming since 2000 about young Black folks and their white "leftist" friends. For those who do not know, Rogue DNC used AI to make a picture of of Bookersquared and turn it into a minstrel caricature.

Prisons, Prose & Protest - #36 Rants, Musings and More

In my March edition of Prisons, Prose & Protest, I share an overview of a 1964 pamphlet by Anne Braden that remains relevant today. I recommend a podcast about a project documenting Black girlhood in photography and prose, several good recent articles and essays, and also I am raffling some prints.

Georgia lawmakers fight GOP voter suppression efforts with new state voting rights act The Georgia VRA faces an uphill battle in the General Assembly, where Republicans have a commanding control of both the House and Senate.

Democratic lawmakers introduced a Georgia voting rights act aimed at protecting the voting rights of voters of color in the state.

The bill comes as elections are under severe duress in the Peach State, and follows the FBI’s raid of a county election hub for 2020 election materials.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval β€” both

Civil rights stories removed from Border Patrol’s website during Black History Month Historical accounts of women, Black men, and the agency’s deployment against segregationists in the sixties have disappeared from the official Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website.

NEW: As Black History Month comes to a close, CBP appears to have scrubbed stories about Black people and marginalized groups' contributions to the history of the agency from an official page.

Archived versions show the changes happened the first week of February:

States Are Not Required to Build ICE Facilities Text SIGN PUBUPB to 50409 β€” The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that valid federal law is the β€œsupreme Law of the Land.” When federal and state law conflict, federal law prevails. It does not require states to finance, facilitate, or expand federal enforcement infrastructure. Under long-standing Supreme Court precedent, the federal government may not β€œcommandeer” state governments to carry out federal programs. This anti-commandeering doctrine protects state sovereignty by ensuring that federal authority does not become a mandate for state participation. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal agency. If ICE seeks to expand detention capacity, that responsibility lies with Congress and the federal executive branch. States are not obligated to: β€’ Provide land or public facilities β€’ Enter into detention contracts β€’ Allocate state funds β€’ Grant discretionary permits or zoning approvals β€’ Supply state or local personnel The Supremacy Clause prevents states from obstructing lawful federal operations. It does not compel them to subsidize them. Recent events demonstrate that state and local officials retain meaningful leverage. In New Hampshire, Governor Kelly Ayotte engaged directly with federal officials after concerns were raised about a proposed ICE detention facility in Merrimack. The federal government ultimately withdrew the plan. In Maryland, state leaders filed suit to halt construction of a proposed ICE detention center, arguing that required environmental and procedural laws were not followed. That lawsuit does not attempt to nullify federal authority; it insists on compliance with lawful review and state consultation. National reporting has further documented that proposed ICE detention facilities in multiple states have been advanced with limited public transparency and have faced significant local opposition. When projects of this magnitude move forward without meaningful consultation, it underscores why state oversight and discretionary authority matter. This is not nullification. It is federalism in action. If a proposed ICE detention facility requires state participation β€” through contracts, infrastructure commitments, licensing, public safety coordination, or other discretionary approvals β€” you have both the authority and the responsibility to determine whether that participation serves the public interest. I urge you to: β€’ Deny new or expanded detention contracts involving state resources. β€’ Refuse discretionary approvals that enable expansion without full transparency and lawful review. β€’ Ensure that state land, funds, and personnel are not used to enlarge federal detention capacity without clear consent and oversight. Federal authority is supreme within its constitutional sphere. But states are not required to build the machinery of federal detention. Respecting the Supremacy Clause means respecting its limits.

πŸ–‹οΈ β€œStates Are Not Required to Build ICE Facilities” hit 100 signers!

Watch the People's State of the Union

American citizens shot dead by ICE agents.
Journalists arrested for doing their jobs.
Court orders ignored like they're suggestions.
This isn't governanceβ€”it's authoritarianism.
Skip Trump's speech. Watch truth instead.
