“Reforms” Didn’t End Police Violence in 2020 and They Won’t End ICE Violence Now We can’t settle for “reforming” the largest law enforcement agency in the nation — it must be abolished.

"These watered-down ICE policy reforms do not serve as a break from the Democrats’ years-long rightward shift on immigration, but a repackaging of immigration enforcement to maintain the status quo."

OAKLAND, BABY!

What is happening to trans people in the United States is the beginning of a genocide.

The right is driving it, but the center is enabling it, and the left is in denial about it.

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

How Bad Bunny Fuses Activism and Global Superstardom | KQED Scholars Vanessa Díaz and Petra Rivera-Rideau, also creators of the “Bad Bunny Syllabus,” join us to break down Bad Bunny’s music and activism.

If you want to learn more about Bad Bunny’s music and activism, have to recommend this new book P FKN R. It’s awesome. I learned so much:

bad bunny, best bunny.

i’m old enough to remember kerri strug and wish we had evolved as a society since then

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

"Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities..."

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today.

Thank you so much! 🌷

i don’t know who needs to hear this (me), but drafts are supposed to suck

worth pointing out that if anyone needs help with applying for marketplace insurance before open enrollment ends, i have become your inadvertent local expert

No Funding for ICE Surveillance Tech!

The team @fightforthefuture.org built this easy tool to email and call your Senators and tell them to JUST VOTE NO on funding ICE, and it specifically calls out the danger of "body cams" as reform.

Use it. Spread it: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

if signing up for marketplace health insurance is frustratingly inscrutable for myself, my friend who previously worked for covered ca, and the 16 years of college between us, imagine how unbelievably shitty it is for just about anyone else

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW." (Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

(see thread for links to individual fundraisers.)

you ever feel like the only way you can be honest about your own job skills and accomplishments is through hypnosis so someone can ask without you getting in the way?

asking for myself

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

because networks refuse to have 22-episode seasons!

i knew ST: SFA would be bad, but it's so inconceivably bad that even Holly Hunter, Robert Picardo, and Paul motherfucking Giamatti could not keep me from being despondent.

What's that? "Abolish ICE" is too confrontational a slogan? How about this instead: abolish all borders

perfect.

If you are someone who is still on Twitter, I have one question:

What the fuck is wrong with you?
