today's the kind of day where, after the past 392 months of winter, i remember why i live in boston 🌱☀️
The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
This is how #PublicHealth should be done in an #OngoingPandemic, now in its 7th year 👇
A democracy that would vote to sacrifice my people is of absolutely no use or value to me, and I would oppose it as I would oppose any threat to our survival.
I am about trans people and I am for trans people. I am for all others, to the extent it does not conflict with that first position.
FYI: The little boy in Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime show wasn't Liam Ramos as some have said, it was a child actor: Lincoln Fox www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/...
If you were to actually take his white supremacy and racism seriously, you would evaluate their impacts on every single decision and policy advanced by the administration. And you would be on board for future reparations.
“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said.
“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

The history of prison uprisings in the US feels like a very timely topic right now!
this is a policy choice: public health crisis on top of public health crisis on top of public health crisis on top of public health crisis.
If you’re a health care worker who wants to channel your rage and grief about this into action, join us @interruptcrim.bsky.social‘s Beyond Do No Harm network (www.interruptingcriminalization.com/beyond-do-no...). BDNH principles 11 & 12 are about medical neglect in carceral facilities
In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia
You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
they don't want "cooperation." they want compliance. there's a big difference.
The most important public health story right now in America is that the Trump administration is executing people in the streets, it is kidnapping people of all ages, including 2-year-olds, it is torturing them, & it is putting them in concentration camps where many have been killed or “disappeared”
It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can
Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution
Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.
This is what 7 House Democrats voted with Republicans to fund. This is what Hakeem Jeffries didn't whip votes against. This is what Gavin Newsom said *wasn't* fascism.
Anyone who doesn't commit to abolishing ICE should lose their job.
Witnesses say a man was shot by a federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning. The Minnesota Star Tribune is on the scene:

Will you also investigate the ICE agent who played a noisemaker over Catholic prayer for immigrants? Or times when I & other clergy & lay have been tear-gassed, assaulted, insulted, stalked, & in the case of professed Christian Renee Good, murdered, for living Jesus’ command to love God & neighbor?
