Do a bun dance, turn from scared shitty🌻

GO OFF LORD GRANTHAM

In the dead of night on a holiday weekend, ICE agents took frightened children from their beds and put them on planes bound for Guatemala.

Here's how our emergency lawsuit unfolded and what YOU can do to help:

From “Behind You Is The Sea” author Susan Muaddi Daraj on Threads, sharing a post from Anas Al-Sharif: 85% of Gaza's population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.

From @susanmd.bsky.social on Threads:

fwiw, i don’t personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk)

it’s cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

Fromage bête!

Please contact us if you have information about campus abductions and visa revocations. We are tracking them live here, and are working on getting gofundme links and other ways to take action up soon. www.wearehighered.org/campus-abduc...

If you are a non-profit leader, please do not comply!! Remember your roots, remember your mission🌱

I know it's hard to operate on what is likely already a shoestring budget, & this may feel impossible to resist, but there are better options than funding which comes with fascist compliance attached.

This New Documentary Gets at What the Columbia Encampments Were Actually About "We were like, 'Wow, we're sitting on a movie that is ready to go, that debunks everything that Trump is saying.'"

Produced by Macklemore and Alana Hadid, new documentary The Encampments became the most-seen documentary in theaters in its first limited-release weekend.

“what would you have done?” is no longer a hypothetical thought exercise. if you’re not doing anything, there’s your answer.

ICE director envisions Amazon-like mass deportation system: ‘Prime, but with human beings’ • Michigan Advance The leader of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that his dream for the agency is squads of trucks rounding up immigrants for deportation the same way that Amazon trucks crisscross American citi...

When the head of ICE starts talking about how great it would be to have Amazon Prime for shipping human beings to a concentration camp in El Salvador that no one ever leaves, you’ve gone way past “it could never happen here.”

Each of us needs to ask ourselves if we're aiming for the abolition of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and cishetereopatriarchy, or if we simply want a return to a more polite imperialism. Ask if your current actions are consistent with your aims.

General Strike

I'm tired of hearing "we need to start somewhere" from people who ignore existing movements and refuse to learn from the history and veterans of the struggle.

We already started. We don't need to "start somewhere" multiple times a year because you just discovered activism.

Start by learning.

You want a real working class movement? We need to show what a better world looks like in our own backyards, not in the books of academics and professional activists.

And as always, please continue engaging in mutual aid and building dual power. Everything depends on it.

I sang “No Es Mi Presidente” at today’s #BuffaloUnitedMarch as part of the #HandsOff! actions that happened nationwide. It was beautiful to see people come in the thousands to collectively resist fascism. #noesmipresidente

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfed while the economic crisis he created wrecked our markets.

< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

We've got over 4,000 signatures! Keep sharing and keep signing!

The letters, sent by Musk staffers, come amid his push to cut up to 80 percent of the agency’s roughly 180-person staff. Let’s be clear: these grants were already awarded and are funded through bipartisan congressional appropriations. Terminating them is illegal.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

He gave basically that same warning speech 12 years earlier, to a group of high school seniors (including my dad).
