Tracking the Historic Rise of Habeas Cases Filed by Detained Immigrants ProPublica is tracking the historic rise in challenges filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal.

ICYMI: We @propublica.org set up a tracker for immigration-related habeas cases, which means it tracks the number of suits filed by immigrants claiming they are detained illegally. The number has hit historic highs. We'll update it regularly with new data. projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

And in the face of these threats--stop exercising your rights and you *might* have fewer violators of your rights terrorizing your community--dem leadership wants to suggest "common sense reforms and accountability measures" to justify giving these violators of rights more money.

Legacies By Nikki Giovanni her grandmother called her from the playground "yes, ma'am" "i want chu to learn how to make rolls" said the old woman proudly but the little girl didn't want to learn how because she knew even if she couldn't say it that that would mean when the old one died she would be less dependent on her spirit so she said "i don't want to know how to make no rolls" with her lips poked out and the old woman wiped her hands on her apron saying "lord these children" and neither of them ever said what they meant and i guess nobody ever does

Nikki Giovanni’s poems are deceptively accessible; getting it is a master class in close reading. I read
“Legacies” to my students the day she died. The poem’s a reminder that I live at the intersection of generational inheritance & torch-bearer.

The reward for absolute lawlessness, terror, and murder is legitimacy. Rest assured that by the end, dem leadership will compromise even on these half measures.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

You cannot do "commonsense reform" for a secret police force that's declared itself exempt from constitutional requirements. You cannot reform ultraviolent agencies that have been corrupt for decades and now have accountability only to the president's goons and lackeys.

““They’re both sick right now,” Gutierrez said. “She has no access to any medical care.” Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms, while her mom has broken out in hives, Gutierrez said. Neither has been given any medicine or testing — a particular concern given the measles cases in the facility.” She is 10

this part is so true, i mostly travel in women-and-children spaces in far outer SE, so the exact opposite end of town, and since saturday i've overheard and had multiple conversations about how to launder tear gas out of things like diaper bags including one at the methodist church

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Reminder: in the first month of this year ice murdered 9 people in cold blood that we know about.

“The earliest forums offered an invaluable space for people whose innate sense of being trans clashed with the prevailing culture. But there, in cyberspace, they built community and friendships.” From @alysbrooks.bsky.social

‘The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.’

The headlines in this article in the Economist (UK) are great—better than almost any newspaper in the US

I think it’s far far more useful to think about how legacies of state terror and ideas about the Black family have shaped US government agencies like the child welfare system and policing, which in turn shape the political and juridical cultures and practices of ICE.

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I'm sure he thinks that should be policed, too
