ICE detention centers are beyond fucked

BUT

People also need to be talking about how fucked regular jails/prisons are, so I'm very glad to see this.

Israel has shut the Rafah border in Gaza once again. Israel opened the Rafah border from February 2nd to 28th, after seizing and shutting it completely for nearly 2 years. 
In the 26 days the border was open, only a few sick and injured Palestinians were able to evacuate out of the tens of thousands who require urgent medical attention and care. A minimal amount of food, medicine, and people were allowed to enter Gaza in this short period of time. While Israel continues to genocide Gaza, its calculated use of starvation as a weapon of war acts as a tool of collective punishment in an attempt to make Palestinian survival near impossible. 
Israel's impunity and deliberate attempts to erase Palestinian life in Gaza and the West Bank continues in broad daylight for all to see. This is why we must all continue to use our privileges and freedoms to help fight, work, speak, and organize for the liberation of Palestine and all oppressed people in the world. 
A day will come when Gaza is no longer, مُحاصَرة, besieged by land, air and sea.

Together we must #BreakTheSiege of Gaza.
The genocide of the Palestinian people is not only still raging but exponentially ramping up, while Zionist & imperialist leaders are trying to make us look away.
There is no ceasefire, there never was...

In less than two weeks, the US government has already spent more money bombarding Iran than it will contribute to cancer research this entire year.

Probably *a great deal* more money.

They would rather let you die, so long as you fear them while you are living.

James Baldwin said, “We are a racist society, racist to the very marrow, and we are fighting a racist war... My own condition, as a black man in America, tells me what Americans really feel and really want, and tells me who they really are. And, therefore, every bombed village is my hometown.”

Fight like a woman poster from Myanmar artwork where a girl in protest gear has her hand up against a mirror with a bullet hole in it reflected is a girl from the 2989 protests in china. A girl in school uniform holds up 3 fingers & a yellow umbrella, the words respect thai democracy are written next to her a cartoon depiction of Taiwan & Bam holding a bunch of sunflowers.

Here is the upcoming events🧵for the week!

Today is International Women's day
In the struggles of the #MilkTeaAlliance we see women whose leadership, passion, strength are foundational. They have sacrificed much & often have to fight against misogyny within movements too
We owe them everything

DHS wants to build a system to surveil Americans’ travel records Previously unreported documents show the agency has asked companies for input. Last year, a similar program was shuttered over public outcry.

“The proposed tool appears to be an attempt to rebuild a surveillance pipeline that was recently shuttered amid public backlash.”

there's a fair bit of people on here with knowledge of how things work in Japan, so thought I'd ask: what's with the 99% conviction rate on criminal defendants? why would anyone be a defense attorney in such a system? are judges required to put up French Revolution numbers for careerist reasons?

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.
