Israel launches wave of air strikes on Gaza killing 22 including children Death toll since the October 10 ceasefire began rises to 318 with 788 Palestinians also wounded in Israeli attacks.

“At least 22 Palestinians have been killed in a spate of Israeli drone and missile attacks throughout northern and central Gaza with dozens of others wounded” #GazaGenocide

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.

Oh my goodness, please encourage the white and otherwise respectability-pilled protesters in your life to read Chapter 6 of Let This Radicalize You! It’s available to read for free through the generosity of @mskellymhayes.bsky.social and @prisonculture.bsky.social!

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

I really think the most important things to evaluate about Signal if you are not in a group chat of encryption experts are:
1. How secure is every device in the group chat?
2. How safe from harm is every person in the group chat?
3. How much trust is there between every person in the group chat?

And to understand that when they say that shit and talk about "criminals" vs "normal people" & ICE as distinct from "regular police" they are fueling the very project they are being extremely well funded to supposedly train people to oppose.

(yes, this is absolutely a cranky Friday afternoon post)

I'm gonna need every single person admonishing us to participate in ICE watch & document "non-violently" to read this by a definitely NOT radical org

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said that revealing the identities of agents and videotaping them on operations constitutes “violence”

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Lots of “random” checks, searches extended questioning etc since 9/11 just never asked for phone before vs bags, intense car searches etc. so that was what I was reporting but I am sure it has been happening to more visibly targeted folks than me for longer

And absolutely re fascism & colonialism

Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present. There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Following our recent IYR episode, here are some additional resources for further context on the role of local law enforcement in immigration: politicalresearch.org/2025/11/20/n....

From what I've seen, the best analysis of this definitional game played by DHS is from @prisonpolicy.org. Their report back in July showed that ICE's public detention numbers capture about 2/3 of the actual number of people in ICE custody.

Advocates spotlight U.S. complicity in Sudan genocide A lack of media coverage and international pressure leaves many in Sudan in the dark after el-Fasher was seized by the Rapid Support Forces

“It’s really something that makes you wonder to what point do they need to reach for the international community to pay attention.”

Advocates spotlight U.S. complicity in Sudan genocide as a lack of media coverage leaves many Sudanese communities in the dark, @nehamadhira.bsky.social reports.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

The number of ICE facilities has increased by nearly 100 over the last 12 months.

According to the ICE facilities page, there are currently a total of 221 facilities holding detainees.

By comparison, at this time last year, there were a total of 124 facilities that ICE reported on the list.

After more than two months with no updates, ICE has finally released new detention statistics.

ICE reports a total of 65,135 detainees as of Nov. 16, 2025.

This story is nuts.

"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

5. While some places (EU, US etc) use active militarization as deterrence, Canada's geographic location allows it to use slow bureaucratic violence as deterrence. Processing times for many PR streams is now 50 years (!).

3. Bill C-12 being pushed through by Carney is a MASS machinery of deportation. It allows Canada to deport refugees without a hearing and grants mass immigration status-cancellation powers to ministers (internal documents released to CBC suggest targeting people from Punjab, India, and Bangladesh).

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?

Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

Here are 5 other things to know:

Cops Used Flock to Monitor No Kings Protests Around the Country A massive cache of Flock lookups collated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation shows as many as 50 federal, state, and local agencies used Flock during protests over the last year.

"Police departments and [..] Border Patrol used Flock’s automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to monitor protests hundreds of times around the country during the last year, including No Kings protests in June and October."
