Fabulous! New York electeds, take note!

Some good news this Friday.

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

“We’re in a race now. We need to act before the administration has the personnel and the detention facilities to broaden the scope of its actions. It’s up to us to break the existing momentum on this front.”

Two people sit in chairs holding books with a wall of books behind them

Jumpsuit, baby.

A bicycle stands locked to a pole on top of a large snow pile.

New Yorkers always make it work.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

I’m thinking this was around my Girl with the Dragon Tattoo era…

We're three days into February and have shipped almost 80,000 whistles to all comers, across the US, for free, because we all keep us safe. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

There’s typically a party primary before a general election. Chuck has run unopposed in the primary for years, and in an overwhelmingly dem state, like NY, the primary effectively decides the general election.

This democrat wants to abolish ICE and see you primaried.

explain to me, very slowly, like the dimwitted child you must think I am, how body cameras or ICE cooperating with cops would have prevented any of the many, many, many law enforcement murders committed by both ICE and cops over the years which were already thoroughly documented on video

‘No humanity’: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple Federal Building Immigration sweep brings overcrowded rooms and overflowing toilets. Lawyers say they can’t visit their clients. The Department of Homeland Security says “all detainees receive full due process.”

‘Backing down isn’t an option’: Minnesota ICE shootings mobilize Americans to join ICE observer groups The killings of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti have inspired people across the US to document federal agents’ activities in their communities

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

I’m so sorry, L. Sending you love and strength.

“Poetry is a testament to the failure of wolves.”

Also, uh, we have more than 100,000 people registered for this ICE watch training tonight. Largest training of it type in history by a long shot. Please join if you've not be trained yet, and share to friends/fam/neighbors!

Never

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Live: Man shot by federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning, witnesses say More than a hundred protesters and observers have gathered near E. 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.

There’s video floating around. You don’t want to watch it.

I can’t stop thinking about this girl who got her period for the first time and needed a network of people to bring her pads because she could not risk leaving her home because of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...

A project to dismantle ICE will be years in the making. This is because you will have opponents [not just in the fascist GOP but also in the Democratic party]. And that means that organizing campaigns will have to be strategic and they will always be subject to being undermined by purported "allies"
