ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

As we emerge from the days of awe and approach second anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, we share with you two new pieces that we hope will help pave the path forward to a world free from fascism, free from genocide, and free for everyone.

First, contributor Sam Sherman, who wrote for us last year about the relationship between sumud and doikayt, writes now about how we can possibly find hope at a moment that feels like a breaking point.

Next, we share a new adaptation of the rousing Yiddish folk classic "Ale Brider" by our very own Josh Waletzky, originally released in a new pamphlet by the Northern California Workers Circle for its 125th anniversary.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

The anti-Zohran crowd went from: "Zohran isn't visiting any synagogues," to "he isn't visiting the right kind of synagogues" (or to quote JG: "he isn't visiting any mainstream synagogues" [sic]).

To now just protesting that he is actually engaging with mainstream synagogues 🤦‍♀️

Anyway my book abt antifa is much better. You can preorder To Catch A Fascist here www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

Look what arrived in the mail today! Hooray and congrats to Ken Feder! "Insightful, respectful, important, and a pleasure to read. It belongs on the bookshelf of every American," according to one archaeologist who blurbed the book. Get your copy today!

Goodness this man could put together a hell of a doikayt picnic

ICE claims it’s going after “the worst of the worst” and good people are being hit incidentally. What’s incidental about going after tamale vendors? Where’s the “worst of the worst” there?

UPDATE: Jimmy Gomez's office has been responsive to Emily's family and is advocating for her with the embassy. Please direct your calls now to Schiff and Padilla. If Gomez is your rep, you can give him a call to thank him for his support of Emily.

I beg you. I implore you.
