Arrested for being Iranian: How war in Middle East gave ICE targets at home After the U.S. joined Israel’s war against Iran in June, ICE arrests of Iranian immigrants surged, data shows

"ICE apprehended 351 Iranian citizens from the start of the current Trump administration on Jan. 20 up until July 29."

Black People Knew This Would Happen Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

"For some, the Trump administration's Chicago assault was a shock."

"But for Black Americans, none of it felt extraordinary. It felt remembered."

"We know 'them' becomes 'you' sooner than you think."

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE."

Eyes Up was "an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court."

Make It Make Sense: ICE targets Chicago’s homeless community Plus: state and local leaders crack down on anti-ICE protesters and advocates ask the chief judge to keep ICE out of county courthouses.

"Over the weekend of September 27–28, 11 unhoused people were detained in Logan Square."

"[S]ocial invisibility and isolation already faced by people experiencing homelessness make their disappearances harder to track."

The Unscientific Nonsense of Conversion Therapy — Assigned Conversion therapy is not only ineffective at its purported goal, but also only serves to amplify psychological distress.

"[C]onversion therapy increased 'serious psychological distress [compared to those who received no therapy] (47% vs 34%), depression (65% vs 27%), substance abuse (67% vs 50%), and attempted suicide (58% vs 39%).'"

With "affirmative therapy [..] suicide attempts plummeted to 3%."

Standing with Palestine, Honoring Microsoft? A Contradiction in New York In New York last week, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto embodied a contradiction that cannot be ignored. At the United Nations General Assembly, he

"Indonesia cannot have it both ways."

"You cannot denounce genocide at the United Nations and decorate its enablers."

"To celebrate Gates while ignoring Microsoft's role in Gaza is to elevate charity over justice, optics over principle."

Fresh evidence that EU's Tel Aviv envoy was courted by genocide lobby Michael Mann panders to pro-Israel zealots.

"Fresh evidence shows that Michael Mann, the EU's envoy in Tel Aviv, was being courted by the pro-Israel lobby before taking up his post."

"Mann agreed to attend an event [..] organized by [Elnet], a group that has fully backed the genocidal war against Gaza."

Why Tony Blair governing Gaza would result in more war crimes Soldiers who served under his command in Iraq got away with sexually assaulting prisoners, in scenes similar to Israel’s torture of Palestinians.

"Under Blair's MoD, 'harshing' was authorised [..] wherein an interrogator screams into a detainee's face."

"[E]ncouraged interrogators to sexually humiliate detainees."

Tony Blair "should not be appointed to have any role in" Gaza.
