I'm pretty persuaded that there a lot of people, including kids, who are lost in the system between renditions, detention, sweeps, etc.

The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

A U.S. Senator just called Netflix "the woke-est content in the history of the world," which is laughable as all get out. But let's play along and assume it was true: Netflix is by far the most popular streamer in the U.S. and the world. So...Americans must really love "woke"? 🤔

The older I get the more frustrated I get with the Bruce-Barbara stuff and the less forgivable it feels, creatively. Frustrated with a lot of her characterization in the show tbh -- a lot less so in Beyond

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Back to work at @moreperfectunion.bsky.social today, just over two months after undergoing my sixth (!) open-heart surgery.

I live to make content.

So hit me with any tips or ideas you have about corrupt politicians, bad corporations, abusive bosses, or good policy.

Tate’s Bake Shop Workers Allegedly Threatened With Deportation Due to Unionization Efforts Plus, NYC restaurateurs eagerly look forward to next boost of federal aid — and more intel

A friend recently bought me these Tiny Tates Gluten Free cookies and they're pretty delicious. I googled them to see where I could buy more but instead this popped up.

Gross. Evil.

I'll find another sweet treat.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Apologies for engaging your upchuck reflex. The most revolting, exploitative people in the world do seem to be protecting and enriching each other right in our faces.

Fucking creep cabal.

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

Children gassed. Children detained. Children used as bait to detain their parents. Children kidnapped and trafficked and sickened with disease across state lines by a secret police force that believes themselves immune from prosecution. ICE and DHS are a cancer on us all.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
