Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

AP: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

that's ADHD big time

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

'Hopefully something will come from being nearly killed' says Davis Moturi, who was shot in the neck last year David Moturi hopes he'll get some answers after the Minneapolis City Council voted to authorize MPD to make its internal review of his case public.

“It’s not only me this affects.” said Moturi.

For years, Minneapolis residents have been asking for meaningful reforms in order to keep us safe.

Instead, all we’ve gotten from Mayor Frey and MPD is excuses.

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

“We Took the Freedom of Speech Away” Is Somehow a Direct Quote From Donald Trump Trump's definition of "freedom of speech" does not appear to incorporate anything the Supreme Court has said on the subject.

Hey, generally speaking, is it good or bad when presidents talk about taking away constitutional rights they don't like

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

. “Our first advice to people is to don't do this alone,” he said. “The feds seem to be more cautious when we are in groups, which makes perfect sense because they're bullies.”

I also want to highlight that my Israeli family are allowed to celebrate today, but many Palestinian families are not. Not because they are not overjoyed to have family members back in the prisoner exchange, but because the Israeli government has decided that doing so is “supporting terror.”

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador. But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

ICE hit our area hard again today. I spent the morning and afternoon on patrol, and then came home for Understory, the emotional and spiritual support group for activists I co-facilitate. @tanuja.bsky.social was going to cover for me, but I decided I needed to be there, for my sake. I was right.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

I’m sick of pointing this out but JB Pritzker, governor of Illinois, put these cops here and bragged about it and wants to be president @govpritzker.illinois.gov

so true!!! as is often the case when i don't look at it for months and get the scaries, the reality is much less dire than i worried!

im catching up on my budget which ive neglected since august; tell me a nice thing i can come back to after I finish

i love him

the virtue signalling vs. not discussion just strikes me as a social drama that makes sense within the class of people that don't think they have anything else at stake in these discussions other than clout, some of whom also can't imagine any other way of relating to these discussions

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

I don’t believe in the good or bad immigrant framework but thinking of older women in detention is gut wrenching. No one deserves to be in those conditions but it feels so demeaning to think of elders in those places.
