'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley.

They’ve been locked up for 130+ days.

I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.

I think it's a good sign that normies today are doing things that Willem van Spronsen gave his life doing only 7 years ago.

ZineLibrary

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

we were considering a congressional bill to have somebody use a highlighter to highlight a few of the relevant laws ICE agents are breaking, but we didn't want to seem divisive

Chicago police made nearly 200,000 secret traffic stops last year Chicago police are required by law to report every traffic stop. But a new investigation found one-third of traffic stops went unreported.

importantly, this largely goes away when you look at camera-issued tickets. also, alluded to but not highlighted is the fact that we found out the cops aren’t keeping accurate records of the people they pull over on pretexts & don’t find anything at all to ticket, so it’s presumably even worse.

worse, the only way we know works to get the dipshits to stop always making the same mistake every time is to have them be members of unions and mainline churches and maybe bowling leagues. and, well, good luck!

The world has been through anti-science cycles before, to disastrous results

On a detour on my lit review, a mosey through the history of our familiar friend, the standard onion (Allium cepa) brought me right to one of botany's greatest cautionary tales of what happens when ideology overrides data

AP, ABC and CBS all reported that Wagner was charged with threatening federal agentsβ€” which wasn’t reflected in the complaint or even said by DOJ explicitly. AP has now finally changed their headline and added a correction.

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott.
